urday afternoon. when the front
trucks of a trolley car OF the Della
ware City line OF the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company
jumped the tracks at the southern
end OF Clark's marsh. near Delaware
City. The quick work of the motor
man In applying the brakes prob
ably saved the car from toppling
over.
One other passenger was also in
iured. but his name could not be
learned Mr. carp and this passen-
ger were thrown from their seats.
Mr. carp sustained slight abrasions
OF the leg and arm and also suffered
from shock. He was unable TO con-
duct the services at his church last
night The minister's condition is
not serious. but 1t was thought best
under the circumstances for him not
10 attempt TO conduct the services.
There were four other passengers
on the car. but none OF them was
injured.

termine the cause OF the accident

in perfect shape. IL was said n the
car had been a cars length further
north. nothing could have saved il
from topping some feet to the bed
OF the marsh The car was operated
by a Wilmington crew, and left Del
aware City for Wilmington at $40,
