Many Others Slightly Hurt

COME TOGETHER ON SWITCH.
Accident Caused by Substitute Motor
man, Police Say-When Cars, Pack
ed to Capacity, ColIided There
Was Mad Rush, and Many
Were Trampled On.

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-Two crowded
pay -as-you-enter cars, known as Bald
win trippers,' on the Chester short line
Of the Rapid Transit company, collided
on switch in Island road, near Crum
creek, causing serious injury to four
men and slight injury to a number of
others. All are employed at the Eddy
stone shops of the Baldwin Locomo-
tive company and were on the way to
work when the accident occurred.
Four of the men were removed to the
University hospital. They are Andrew
Supetpa, 1921 st. James place, bruises
of the back and chest and probable in
terna injuries: Lincoln Starts. 1929
Powelton avenue, concussion of the
brain; Albert j. Hinkle, 1922 Powelton
avenue, cuts of the arms and legs and
suffering from shock, and James c.
Davis, 1927 Durfor street, sprained
back and bruises Of the body.
The police said the accident was
caused through the placing of a sub
stitute motorman on Tripper No. .,
which was about fifty feet in back of
Tripper No. l. Each tripper carried
about seventy men.
AS the first trlpper approached the
switch at Crum creek the motorman
saw that the signal was set for the ap-
proach of & regular car coming toward
Philadelphia. He took the side switch
near the creek, believing the motorman
OF the second tripper would do the
same. The second motorman was evi-
IDENTIFY not familiar with the road, the
police said, for he did not shut off
power after the first tripper took the
switch, but kept on going at high
speed under the impression apparently
that his car would continue on the
main tracks.
The tripper swerved to the switch
as soon as the front wheels touched
/ the frog. 1t crashed into the trippeI
ahead with an impact loud enough tC
attract the attention of persons living
within two blocks of the creek. The
rear platform of the first tripper was
smashed, and the front platform Of the
second car was splintered. The mer
who were taken to the University hos
pital were on the rear platform Of the
the first car. The motorman OF the
second car, whose name the police
have not obtained, was injured, as
were some Of the passengers standing
near him.

EIGHT PENSIONERS OVER 90
YEARS.

Eight of the pensioners of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
found to be over 80 years old, ac-
cording to a record which is being
compiled by the pension department,
which is gathering statistics for pub
lication in book form.
At the present time there are over
500 men who have been in the en-
ploy of the railroad company for
fifty years and one employee has re-
ceived pay from the company for
sixty-six years. There were a num-
Der of retirements in 1912, but the
present year is expected to witness
the largest number of veterans pen
stoned since the department was es-
tablished.
OF the eight veterans over 80
years old Andrew Abels, of Phila-
delphia, is the oldest employe. He
was born May 29, 1917, and is 95
years old. At the time of his re-
tirement he was a clerk in the Phil
adelphia offices.
