The tall man then reached down under
the steps and cat the air hose, and the
train came to stop. The men jumped
off and fed into the darkness.
The knowledge of train construction
shown by the bandits in cutting the air

Wagon Upset and Children We're
Covered With Acid.
TWO DIE CT INJURIES
Ten Children Fearfully Injured, and
Men Who Tried to Rescue Them
Also Badly Hurt.

Fourteen persons. ten children and
four men. were terribly burned by
vitriol through the upsetting OF
a supply wagon of the bureau OF ire
at Eighteenth street and Ridge ave
nue.. Philadelphia. One of the men.

children were riding on the wagon
when the accident took place The
three others were burned in their eff
forts at rescue.
or the injured children. two died
az ST. Joseph's hospital, where all
fourteen persons were taken. 1t is
probable that all will be marked for
life by the terrible burns inflicted
upon them.
The dead are Catherine Daniels.
nine years old. and Raymond Dagger,
seven years old.
Three OF the injured are men who
went to the rescue of the children,
and were painfully burned about the
hands. arms and feet
Grear is the father of five of the
children. whom he had allowed to
ride with him while delivering sup
plies of the chemical TO the various
engine houses. IL was spilled over
the children when the wheel came on
the wagon and sent children and car
gether.
Grear left the supply house with his
wagon loaded up with four ten-gallon
glass carboys. eight five-gallon cans
and barrel of the chemical. On his
way uptown TO distribute II among
the engine houses of the northwestern
section of the city he stopped at his
home.
Children OF the neighborhood. in
Guiding his five daughters. besought
Grear to take them for a ride on his
wagon, and. although It is forbidden
by the rules of the bureau TO allow
any person but the driver on the wag'
on. he consented.
Accordingly the ten children clam
bered aboard and sat wherever they
could find room. Young Raymond
Dagger sat on the barrel and others on
the wooden castings OF the carboys or
on the floor OF the wagon.
As the wagon crossed Eighteenth
street the wheels became locked in
the grooved trolley tracks. Grear
turned the horse sharply to pull on
the track. and the rear axle broke.
The wagon dropped with crash and
then rolled over on It's side. The
shock broke the glass carboys and
knocked the plug rrym the barrel. so
that the fiery liquid poured out in a
food.
Raymond Dagger was thrown from
his perch on the barrel and squirt
after squirt of the acid spouted from
the open bunghole all over his head
and body. II was In this manner that
he suffered the burns which caused
his death.
The contents of the carboys quick.
~ flooded the wagon and there was
no escape for the huddled children,
whose screams OF agony aroused the
ncighborhood and could be heard for
blocks. Grear was hurled backward
from his seat by the shock of the
wreck and directly into the whirling
pool of acid. Blinded by the fluid
and crazed by their pain. neither he
nor the children seemed able to get
away by leaping from the wagon.
