PLANE DIVES THROUGH

Aviator and Passenger Are But

Philadelphia, July 6.-ScOres of din
levard and COttman street, were pan

of the roof above and the nose of an
airplane was thrust among them,
while two men, one of whom had been
a diner at the inn a few moments be-
fore, were seen to be imprisoned in
the wreckage Of the plane and the
roof.
Efforts were made to rescue the
two in the machine, but so tightly
were they wedged in that a fire COM
pany was asked to send a hook and
ladder to the rescue. Ten minutes of
frenZied work by the firemen was re-
quired to cut the piniOned men free

The accident, which robbed seven
teen of their lives, was one of the
strangest as well as the worst trolley
catastrophes in the history of the
Wyoming valley. 1t occurred under a
bridge over Welsh street, SebastopOl,
about one hundred yards from a
sweeping curve, south of Pittston.
Because of the number of passen-
gers the conductor, following the u.s.
ual custom, had the car travel at a
snail's pace until he could collect his
fares. The passengers say he was oc-
cupied with this task and that num-
Der of the passengers were preparing
to leave the car at the South Pittston
station, a few hundred yards ahead,
when they felt a crash and were hurl-
ed helter-skelter. Nobody was injur-

The collision was caused by the linn
tied humping into the rear of the sec
ond car in the local train. 1t seems
that; obedient to running orders, the
conductor of the limited, Leo Cav
ley, who was fatally injured, had or
dered the motorman to slow up after
he passed Valley View, in order to
give the conductor ahead chance to
finish his fare collecting. The pas
sengers aboard both of the electric
trains treated the first crash as some
thing of a joke.
Meanwhile a terrific electric storm
had broken over the territory, with
rain pouring in torrents. While Cav
ley busted himself with getting an &C
count of the accident and taking the
names of passengers ahead, a man
