More than thirty other persons were

Victims in Rear Car
All the victims were occupants of
the rear car of a local train which had
started to run on siding in front of
the Bradford station when the Gilt
Edge express from Boston crashed into
IL. Goals from the express locomotive
and the explosion of a gas tank set

spread so rapidly that the nearby sta

together with four wooden coaches of

much difficulty in climbing out of the
demolished car and those who lost

AS there is no fire department here
no adequate fight could be made
against the flames until the arrival ot

distant.

SLOW PROGRESS IN
PAVING Streets
Directors Dissatisfied With
Delays on Market and
Eighth Street
MANY RESIDENTS
ARE COMPLAINING

What is a problem to the directors
Of the Street and Sewer Department
and one which is causing many resi-.
dents much distress is the slow pro.
gress in the paving OF West Eighth
street and Market street by the Union
Paving Company. Work has been held
up II is claimed, by the company for
some time
There was another delay in the
work this week caused by all the
workmen taking off two days, yester-
day and today to vote. Most OF the
men alive outside Of the state. but il
was thought that they could easily get
TO their homes and vote and got back
without losing two days. They did
not notify the Street and Sewer De-
partment that they would not work
yesterday. The work Is expected to
be resumed tomorrow.
The matter was discussed by the di.
rectors of the Street and Sewer De-
partment at their meeting this morn
ing. They are displeased at tile slow
progress being made. While the com.
pany has been working on Eighth
street for several weeks. very little
concrete foundation has been laid,
and the street Is torn up blocking
traffic. In Market street, both sldes
OF the street between Front ana
Fourth streets, has been dug up, but
no concrete laid. A mixer used by
the company on Eighth street is OUT
OF order, and much time is being spent
in an effort to adjust Il.
In the laying of trolley tracks. the
Wilmington q Philadelphia Traction
Co is considerably ahead Of the pRv-
ing company
Unless something is done soon the
streets will be In a deplorabIe condi-
tion all winter.
President George W. Sparks, OF the
board directed that letter be sent 10
the company asking II TO do something
to relieve the situation.
