NOT long ago a WoTnan's maya zine
asked the question. What effect
has the skirt on woman's walk The
following - how one contributor
answered the query:
Our great grandmothers had a
queeniy carriage. Walking with them
was an art. Il was evident that they
were not spineless women. During tire
days when the uncertain behaving
hoopsk.rt reiCned women walked tim
idly. They took little mincinE steps.
and poets compared the feet TO little
mice stealing in and out There was
certain occurrences about the walk
in the days OF the crinoline. II was
then that their hands were carried
folded FOR the reason that II was quite
impossible TO carry them any other

These little steps were again seen
during she reign Of the hobble skirt
but then there was no shyness n either

bound switch, on which the freight
car was standing The crash followed
before Maper could realize that his car
had crushed the life out of two men.
The saddest feature of the wreck
was the death OF aged Albert 10y. He
stepped from his home with his aged
wife, to assist her on the car, which
she intended to take to Eaton, Ohio.
Standing at the end of the freight car.
he was awaiting the passenger cars
stop, to help his wife on the car. They
were standing less than three feet
apart when the car caught him, threw
him into the embrace of the two steel
juggernauts, and hurled her to the
ground nearby. She is Frustrated
from the shock.
Another Sad Affair.
Another sad feature of the wreck
was the killing of Guy Fuller, of
Church street, this city. His wife ex-
poets to become a mother soon. and is
in extremely delicate condition. 1t is
feared that the news of her husband s
death may kill her.
When the wrecked cars were sepa-
rated by the wrecking crew from Day
ton, the cars were taken into the pow
er house switch on which the Ill fated
freight car had been standing, and
the main tracks repaired. Then traf-
fic was resumed. Curious sight-see-
ers from Dayton and other points
arrived by the car load.
Officials of the traction company
rushed to the scene, and after an ex-
animation would not give out a def
mite statement, except that they be-
! lieved the wreck clearly unavoidable

All these men were caught between
the two cars and crushed.
Maper Not Blamed.
No blame for the accident is given
to Motorman Charles Maper of the
passenger car.
The injured were rushed into the
homes of nearby residents as soon as
they could be pried from the mass of
spIintered wreckage, and there in the
temporary hospitals the three local
physicians administered first aid. The
first car from the east after the acct
dent rushed back to Dayton, carry
ing the injured, the dead being taken
IN charge by the local undertaken.
Albert 10y, aged II, retired, who
lived with his son-in-law, John Motter,
whose home is directly in front of the
scene of the wreck, was standing at
the side of the freight car with his
wife, when the swinging passenger car
struck him and crushed him to death
against the freight car. He lived for
llf an hour, but never recovered con.
seriousness. His wife was thrown to
the ground but not injured.
His Head Slit Open.
Freight Monorman Guy Fuller, aged
80, of Church street, who was stand
ing at the rear end of his car, which
was on a siding, waiting for the pas
senger car to pub by. He was crushed
between the two steel bulls. His head
was split wide open. He lived for
almost an hour, but never regained
consciousness.
Kerney Coleman, the passenger cal
conductor was standing on the rear
step OF his car, watching the switch
when the crash came. Both his legs
were smashed badly, his right leg Sc
badly that it will be amputated above
the knee. His legs were caught be
tween the step of his car, and the
body, of the freight car. He was re
moved to the Miami Valley Hospital
where his condition is critical.
Will Wilcox resident of this city
was standing at the rear of the freight
car talking to 10y and Fuller, when
the cars crashed together. He was
seriously injured, although able to
walk to the car which took him to
Dayton for treatment. His left hand
was lacerated, cash cut in his fore.
head. and he also sustained cuts in
his right leg between the knee and
hip. These gashes penetrated to the
bone, but it is not thought his leg will
be amputaaed. Wilcox was the con
ductor Of the freight car, and was
standing ready to change the trolley

of his car when caught and crushed.
He will recover.
Some Of The Injured.
Charles Van Dess, 435 West Ave-,
DAYTON, O., a passenger of the car, suf-
fered severe bruises of his right
shoulder when thrown from his seat
by the crash His injuries are not Sc
rious.
John Gable, of New Lebanon, pas
senger, had started to rise from his
seat when the crash threw several
women passengers, who were stand
ing. on him. Their weight threw him
against the side of the seat and three
ribs were broken. He was taken to
Dayton for medical treatment.
The following school children, who
were on their way from their homes
east of this city, to attend school, were
injured, suffering slight cuts and brtIis-
es, when they were piled up in the
wrecked car: Zana Wambold, Vergil

Prugh, John Anderson, Vergil Smith,
Plooma Urich, Mabel Cook, Ralph Zeh-
ring, Earl Stockslager and Robert Sny-
der The latter is common school
pupil, the remainder being high
school pupils. They were examined at
the school buildings by DR.. Carter,
who sent them home to rest. No seri-
Gus injuries were experienced by any
Of them.
The terrible wreck, which plunged
this town in mourning, occurred at
eight o'clock. The streets were full
of people on their way to their morn
ing shopping, and enroute to work,
when the wreck took place. The ter
rible shrieks and groans of the in.
jured caused CONSERVATION. Residents
of the homes nearby, pedestrians, and
employees of the power house, a half
block distant. rushed to the scene
Scene Horrible One.
The splintered rear end of the
freight car, and rear end of the pas.
senger car were wedged into a mass
of bent steel and twisted rods. Under
and in the wreckage were the torn and
bleeding bodies of the victims. 10y
and Fuller were unconscious when
pulled from the wreckage, and were
rushed to homes nearby. They expir
ed in few moments. Wilcox and
Coleman were under the cars and
were slightly protected by the mass oil
wreck being above them. They were
both conscious, and suffering excruc
iating pain when the rescuers reached
them. Tender hands lifted them, and
bore them to homes nearby. and there
the three local physicians, Drs. Cloyd
Harter and Carter, ministered to theil
| injuries. Those inside the car rushed
from their seats to the ground, where
many women, hysterical from the
shock and scene of death and desola
ton, were overcome, and taken tc
homes where they were given medica
attention. The. injured occupants Of
the car were placed in the temporary
hospitals and sent to Dayton on the
next west bound car which reached
this place. .--'>
Accident Unavoidable.
The accident was plainly unavoid

and was given the signal to go aheat
by the conductor, who saw that the
front trucks had safely passed ovel
