SUBWAY CARS BURN;

Brooklyn Trains Halted for

Fire In dead passenger cars on the
layoff track OF the Nevins street station Of
the Brooklyn subway last night put the
entire Brooklyn division out OF commits
sion. sent passengers scurrying TO the
upper air at the Borough Hall, Hoyt
street and Atlantic avenue stations and
brought the tiremen down into the tube
for hard fight.
The IRE also increased the joys OF
Brooklynites who had been 20 Manhattan
theatres. for they were advised to get out
at Brooklyn Bridge and seek the elevated
or surface lines. They accepted the tip
and the bridge entrance had the appt ar.
ance of an afternoon rush hour up 10
midnight
The car which lay just In front OF the
station platforms at Nevns street was
entirely dark so far as any one could see
at 10 o'clock last night !, lay there
awaiting the morning rush. II was on,
OF the new cars of steel and wood.
II was just about five minutes later
when there was a squirt OF electricity
along the underbody. a crackle and a
dense smoke. This took place about the
time an Atlantic avenue express from
Manhattan was pulling into the station.
Tie smoke rolled into the train and the
pa ssengcrs, about forty men and forty
women, rushed out onto the platform
and then up 10 the street, some of the
women screaming and everybody gasping.
BY that time another train from At
iantic avenue came In and the few pas
sengers Of this train went through n
similar performance The empty trains
pulled out as quickly as they could.
]. NJ. Wheeler, station agent AT that
point, was out on his Job by that time
and seeing that two other cars of the
layoff track were cracking and sputterng
he had the power turned Off on that track.
That ended the fireworks. Then he sent
the alarm along the line.
Trains which We're approaching the
Nevins street station ran into the smoke
and promptly stopped and backed away
to Hoyt street or Atlantic avenue. Trains
which were under tie river either went
forward 10 Borough Hall or back 10 Bowl
ing Green. All trains were held at the
terminals.
After that they sent for the iiremen and
turned all the electric power off for the
division. The ilremen speedily smothered
the flickers Of flame in woodwork. I
they could not put out the smoke so easily
and II was midnight before the subway
workers had shooedI il out emo XII to start

inside and their motors damaged,
The unofficial explanation for the FIRE
Is that something short circuited about
