BLOCKED BY WRECK
CRASH ON BRIDGE.
Thousands Forced to Walk
from Brooklyn after Crash.

The Brooklyn Bridge was put out Of
commission Yesterday morning at $40
o'clock and not wheel turned on the big
span. either car or vehicle. for a full hour.
It was the worst tie-up in the history OF
the bridge.
A Lexington avenue express train the
Manhattan end of the bridge made all the
trouble. 1t was made up of five cars. and
as il drew near the Manhattan terminal.
where the tracks divide, the first car
switched TO the northern track, while the
second car continued obstinately on the
other track. The result was that the train
tried TO stradde the two tracks and the
second car was sent careenng over against
the iron guard rail the central prone
made The forward trucks Of the third car
left the tracks, but the maintained its
equilibrium and no one was hurt
With the crash of the overturned
there came shower Of glass from broken
windows, and policemen who hurried to
the rescue had visions of serious injuries
and many casualties. Before venturng to
the aid Of the imprisoned passengers they
sent in ambulance calls 70 the Hudson
Street. ST. Gregory's and other hospitals
The Oak street reserves climbed out on the
ureckage. and. reinforced by the bridge
squad, began to break open the doors and
windows of the wrecked car and help the
one hundred and fifty traffic prisoners to
freedom
In spite of the completeness of the wreck
and the dangers that threatened from the
third rail and the broken glass. not single
person hurt so badly as TO require
more than passing attention from the am
bulance surgeons. The crowd appeared to
n n2rticntariy cheerful md NH
one, and the only complaint registered. so
far as could be learned. was from an un-
known woman passenger, who said she
had left her pocketbook in the second car.
Patronan Brown. of the bridge squad
ohllgingly vormed his Wav through A
broken window of the car and soon came
out with the book firmly held in his teeth.
When he turned it over to the woman she
thanked him effusively and hurried away
Occurring 1t did just before the rush
hour was at its height, the accident did not
have the serious features that might other
wise have attended it. Had the car which
damned against the guard rail been filed
with passengers, as 1t would have been an
hour later, the added weight would have
been enough to smash the rail and throw
every passenger to the promenade. a drop
of twelve or fifteen feet.
The police roped off both ends of the
bridge and for more than an hour no one
was allowed to cross the pathways or on
cars Every Brooklyn elevated train and
trolley car continued to let passengers off
at the Brooklyn end of the bridge, and soon
there was a tremendous crush 1t was
fully an hour after the accident before the
first passengers were allowed to walk
across
They vended their way over the lofty
bridge like ants on a pilgrimage. and the
serried ranks continued unbroken for more
than an hour Many were late for work
but they all took II good naturedly and
laughed and sang they tramped along
Regular traffic was resumed about
o'clock
