GUILD MET
REV. GRUENWALD SPEAKS AT
QUARTERLY MEETING-0F-
FICERS ELECTED,

The Woman's Guild held it's quarter
ly meeting Tuesday afternoon at the
Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser hall. The
Of America.'
Rev. Charles Gruenwald gave a very
interesting talk on "Loyalty," point
ing out how loyalty in it's different
forms should be practiced. He named
three kinds of loyalty, namely loyalty
to God; loyalty to the noblest nation
on earth, that over which the Stars
and Stripes float; and loyalty to one S
self and to ones friends. He defined
true loyalty as an unsclfish devotion
and unending love, aGding that with
this world >dollar-mad and with the
craze for riches that now exists, the
better self is turned into a selfish self
which in turn destroys loyalty; hap
pincss lies within ones self, not out
side.
Joseph Mitchell next favored the
audience with two pleasing clarinet
solos. An amusing part of the program
was an orchestra called "The Kitchen
Symphony" composed Of l6 little girls.
half of whom were in blackface. They
were led by Genevieve. Wetzel.
Following the program a business ses-
sion was held. It was decided to give
$50 to the support OF the visiting
nurse. 5
Election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted AS follows: =. ~.
President-Mrs. P. S. Randall.
Vice President-Mrs. L. o. Vessel.
Treasurer-Mrs. H. H. Tanner. r.;...
Directors-Mrs. F. :klebcr and Mrs.

morning. The train which tho car
left was being shifted about the yard
last night and the mail car was TO be
left I'm position so that II could easily
be picked up this morning.
In an endeavor TO get the car from
the rear Of the yard to the front, a
"flying switch" was made. Before the
engine had passed tho switch the
brakeman threw 1t the wrong way,
thus causing the engine 10 go down
the main track and the car TO 60 down
the siding, instead Of vice versa, as
had been intended by the conductor Of
the shifting crew.
The brakeman, who was riding the
car, applied the brakes with all his
might, but they failed to stop the car,
which had gained momentum during
the shifting, and the slippery rails de-
creased the effectiveness Of the brakes.
The brakeman, seeing that the car
would inevitably go past the end Of
the short siding, jumped, and the car
grated from the rails onto the brick
platform, knocked away the railing on
the side Of the bridge as though 1t had
been paper, one end sliding evenly over
the edge and falling With crash to
the street below, missing by few feet
an occupied automobile that was park
ed al the curb under the edge Of the
bridge. The other end still chung to the
side of the bridge, the car resting In a
vertical position. Who the owner Of
the auto was could not be learned last
night, but it was reported to be un-
damaged. A crowded trolley car had
just left the spot, after taking on board
some passengers in front Of the station,
according to eye-witnesses.
Fortunately, no one was in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the place where the
car fell. as debris was thrown quite a
distance, and the trucks from both
ends fell from the body Of the car.
Trolley traflc on the Delaware line
was held up for some time following
the wreck, as the mail car fell almost
directly on the east bound track. The
line soon resumed movement by using
the west bound track for trolleys go
ing both ways, there being a cross
over switch near the station on both
sides. Although the car fell within a

Delaware Avenue
TROLLEYS HELD UP
BY THE SMASH UP

Thrown onto blind siding by a
shifting engine, at the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad station, at Delaware ave
nue and dupont street, about 9.35
O'Clock last evening, a combination
baggage and mail car OF the railroad
jumped the tracks on the bridge and
plunged into Delaware avenue, when
the brakes on the car failed to hold on
the slippery rails. Fortunately, no one
was near the bridge at the time, and
the brakeman on the car had jumped
from 1t when he realized its fate Dam
age TO the extent of about 81 900 was
done.
The car was being placed by a shift
ing engine in a position that II might
be handily picked up by a train this
morning, but the switch was thrown
too soon, the baggage car being thrown
onto the siding while the shifter re-
NAMED on the main track. The brake
man on the car applied the brakes, but
they failed to take effect on the slip
perry rails. The car crashed through the
steel railing Of the bridge and fell into
the street. There is no bumper at the
end Of the siding on which the car
was thrown.
The car, which contained a large
amount Of mail and parcel post matter,
but held no baggage, was left in the
yard here last night by northbound
train and was to be taken north on
passenger train leaving here early this
