Philadelphia Autoists
Stalled 4 Hours in
Rutherford Subway

Four hours in an automobile stalled
in two feet of water and twelve inches
of mud in the Rutherford subway was
the experience of a Philadelphia couple
last night Their names could not be
learned.
Frank spatz. a Reading brakeman.
on his way to the cabin this morning
noticed the couple in the auto under
the subway arch. He called to them to
see If they were injured. The man
said he had been caught in the storm
and was on his way to Harrisburg to
spend the night He reached the sub
way about l o'clock and stuck in the
mud. The overflow from nearby
fields sent a stream of water to the
subway about two feet deep
Not caring to take any chances in
losing his way in the water, the man,
with his wife, waited until daylight,
when several railroaders helped him
get his auto out of the mud, and he
came to Harrisburg. Inquiries were
made at a number of garages but the
names of the Philadelphia folks could
not be learned. The route they took
from Rutherford would have taken
them to Steelton. and they may have
stopped there.
