Out of Eight Passengers, Only One, Miss Ida Bryant, of Theodoro Streot, Was Seriously Hurt-Tho Escapo of tho Others Was Miracu lous Thoy Received Warning from tho Crash of tho Car Into tho Gate-Car Was Cut in Halves and Smashed Into Kindling- Wood. Fight passengers hud u miraculous escape from death lust night ut 7.35 o'clock on tho Carbon street cross ing, where the Delaware and Hudson freight train crashed Into a ttollcy cur, cut It In halves und made cplluters and kindling wood out of the greater part of It. One woman, Miss Ida Bryant, of 310 Theodoro street, alone failed to make her escapo fiom thu car. Her recovery is doubtful. She is lit years old, a dressmaker, and was returning home after a day's work In a house on Adams avenue. The passengers probably owe their lives to the fact that the car first crashed through tho gate and onto the railroad tracks. The snnpplng of the gale and the breaking of glass brought them to their feet und all of them, Mies Bryant, excepted, weic able to reach the ground Just as the car was struck. Motorman Patrick Cnffrey disappear ed after the accident, but ut 10.43 o'clock last night reported nt the com pany's olllce on Lackawanna avenue. Conductor Philip Clifford was In charge of the car. Tlie ear was No. 303, bound toward Providence. It was on the recently purchased double truck, eight wheel cars. The only reason for supposing that eight passengers were uboaid Is the evidence offered by tho register found In tlie wreckage, and which show eight fares. Besides Miss Bryant, tho passengers were Frank Spangonberg, of 428 Itay- mond court: Mrs. K. T. Davis, ot 23 S Mlfllln avenue; James Timlin, of Green street and Brick avenue; and two Miss Gilgallons, whose residence was not learned last night, and two passengers unaccounted for. These two latter were not found in tlie wreck age however. STORY OF THU ACCIDFNT. In the excitement of the crash tlie pas sengers Interviewed by a Tribune re porter received impressions and Ideas which made some of their later state ments not even plausible. The several Scranton Hallway otllcials positively re fused to give any Information what ever nnd the Delaware and Hudson officials were almost as reticent. But from all the Information available tho following appears to be the correct version of tho accident: The trolley car failed to stop before tlie gate, either because the brake re fused to work or because on account of slippery rails Its momentum was too great for Motorman Caffrcy to overcome. At that point there is much mud and water. A male passeng):r saw the headlight of tho engine com ing on the north bound track, for he sprang toward tho rear door just as tho car struck tho gate. His act and the noise made by the gate, which was snapped off short, and the break ing glass alarmed the other passengers, who, without waiting to see whether a collision wns Imminent or not, took the chance of escaping to the ground. One of tho Misses Gilgallon had no sooner removed her "oot from the step than the crash came. The train was not running nt a rate of more than tlfteen miles an hour. It struck tlie car squarely in the middle and had separated Its body from the wheels before going more than a car's length. The east end of the car then became jammed between the stone retaining wall and the engine. The collision with the -wall broke the car about In the middle and swuner the half that had been headed toward Providence direct ly ahead of the engine. In the half against the retaining wall, Miss Bry ant was imprisoned. Tills part of tho wreckago was ground into bits so line that no piece was so large that a boy couldn't lift It and carry It away. The tender of the locomotive and the first truck of tho first coal car had left the rails. Tho train stopped after the engine and three loaded coal cars had patwd the crossing. Ahead of tlie loco- motive was what was left of one-half of the trolley car. it wns on Its side and the only whole niece worth men tioning was one-half of the lloor. It was united to the engine by scores of spllnteied ends which represented so many wooden claws. NOISF, HEARD SOME DISTANCE. The noise of the collision was heard all along Carbon street to Penn avenuo and quickly brought very nearly every body In the neighborhood to tlie scene. Hurry calls were sent for physicians and the Lackawanna hospital ambu lance. Trainmen and residents found Miss Bryant lying In a big pile of broken wood and car furniture between one ot the coal earn and tho house of John Blglln, a few feet from the track. She was carried unconscious Into Mr. Blg lln's house, where she speedily received medical attendance. At S.30 o'clock she was taken to her home. The train was No. CD, the through freight from Wllkes-Barre to Carbon dale, and was drawn by engine No. 27. The engineer, Thomas McCawley, and fireman, John Gllroy, both of Carbon dale, Jumped from the engine Just be fore It reached the crossing. McCaw ley saye he first set the air-brakes. Jlis statement seems to be verified by the short distance traversed by tho heavily loaded train before it stopped. P. W. Gallagher, John Huudon, chief dispatcher; Division Superintendent Giles Schenck and Master Mechanic Mullen, of tho Suranton Railway com pany, were not long In reaching the crossing. With the assistance of trol ley wrecking crews and Delaware and Hudson engines the south-bound rail, road tinck was cleared In a few niln . and Oranges, JericllO Ci utes. It was after midnight before the ' . . . . -,. , , jer) pints; Sweet Cider by jUffW, Fzi kail Coo 1b Special line of ( MKUYH I'dll Ce holiday till Th AT KKMl"S Mu ll). i und Ilnll'InvMor ', nt 1'iille.', thu llntlor, derailed tender and coal car wero Placed on tho rails and' tho wreckage cleared from In front of tho engine and awny from tho retaining wall. Mian while, tho trolley und railroad traffic wcie not Interrupted, excepting the small delay caused in the uso of the south-bound railroad track by trains going both north and south. The news of tho nccldent had quickly spread about tho city and several thoti pand persons were on the spot during the evening. After belnjj' carried Into Mr. Blglln's homo, Miss Bryant was attended by Drs. O'Mulley, Ueedy, Webb and Thompson. The toe of tho shoo nnd rubber on her left foot and the great toe had been tevered as clean as though done with a sharp tixe. The other toe.? of the left foot were so badly mashed that their amputation may yet be nec essary. Several bones of each foot were fractured. Her head wus badly contused and her right arm lacerated In a sickening manner. No part of the unfortunate girl's body escaped a bruise or cut of some kind. Tho wonder is not Hint she wan hurt so badly, but that she escaped being literally ground to bits. She lecovercd consciousness at Mr. Blglln's house and asked to bo tak en home Instead of to the Lackawanna hospital. The ambulance conveyed her home where her Injuries were dressed by Dr. Corser, of the hospital. Dr. O'Malley and Dr. Reedy. At no time was she able to give a. clear account of tho accident. General Manager Sllll mnn visited the house during the even ing. MOTORMAN DISAfPKARKD. Motoimnn CalTiey left the crossing Immediately after the nc-ldent. A few minutes later he was seen standing on the Carbon street bridge and then dis appeared. It was later learned that ho went to his home in tho North Knd and then to the" house ot Common Councilman Grier, who, with Caffrcy reported at tlie company's ofllces about 10.15 o'clock. Mrs, K. T. Davis, one of the pas sengers, Is the mother of Druggist Davis, of tlie North Knd. She was on her way to spend tlie evening' with him. She admits her Inability to tell much about the accident, except that she saw a man run from the car and fol lowed him. A glance down the track revealed to Iter the approaching head light. She was not the last person off the car. l'hat Is about the substance of Mrs. Davis' story. She wns almost prostrated with nervous excitement last night. She was taken homo In Chief Illikey's service carriage. James Timlin, another passenger, is a bartender at Baumnn's saloon, corner of Penn avenue and Linden street. His father Is a permanent man at the 12x celslor hose house. Spangenberg wns stnudlng on the rear platform. He says the crnsli Into the gate and the sight of tlie approach ing train came to him simultaneously. The absence of value in tlie evidence of tho passengers Is illustrated In a statement by Spangenberg that the train was running at the rate of 30 miles an hour nnu was within fifteen feet of the car when he first knew of his dnnger. I. F. Spellman. ofllccr at the Dela ware and Hudson Lackawanna avenue station was one of first on the ground and quickly organized a party that made a inorough search of the wreck to ascertain If any person was pinned down or covered from view. It was ut first reported that Motor man Caffrcy was in the wreck, but that Investigation made by Officer Spellman proved the story untrue. MISS HOWISON'S RECITAL. Listened to with Real Pleasure Lats Night in Guernsey's Hall. The reading given by Miss Jean Howlson from Maclnrens "Beside tlie Bonny Brier Bush" lust evening in Guernsey's hall on Washington ave nuo was a distinct pleasure to all In attendance. Being In true Scotch "burr" and a Drumtochty woman by birth, Miss Howlson's reading was especially happy. The evening's read ing was Introduced with several se lections from Burns, including one from "Duncan Gray." Miss Howlson then proceeded with the readings ironi Maclarcn's works. Her delineation of the men nnd women whose nnnies and characters give to the world through the medium of the writings of Barrio and Maciaren, was well night perfect. The description of "Drumsheugh" wns a loving tribute to those endearing qualities of one who has become a prime favorite In Amer ican. "Drumrae" with Is bluff hon esty and Margaret Howe with her beautiful face were portrayed with fi delity. This reading closed with the pathetic story of the "Doctor's" death.

Murphy, Privnto Counsel for the Prosecution, Ob jected to tho Action of District At torney John R. Jones in Having tho Cnso Stricken from tho Quarter Sessions Argument List Mr. Mur phy Made an Appeal to tho Court for Relief. District Attorney John It. Jones and Attorney John J. Murphy had 11 lively tilt In court yesterday afternoon over a case which Mr. Murphy alleges Dis trict Attorney Jones hud stricken oft tho argument list without sutllclent ground. AlHiut a year ago Louis A. Mack se cured the arrest of Georgo Clark, 11 foreman, on the around that he had discharged men In his employ because they were members of labor organiza tions. Tlie charge against him was conspiracy mid he was Indicted at the February sessions of tlie present year, Attorney Murphy being retulned as pri vate counsel by labor organizations' who were behind Mack in prosecuting the case. Clarke's name appeared on two trial lists, but the case was not reached. Attorney John F. Scragg, who repre sents! Mr. Clarke, then made a motion to quash the Indictment on the ground that tho net on which the prosecution Is based Is unconstitutional. ON ARGUMENT LIST. Tiie case Is on tho quarter sessions argument list for thin term and when the list was called Monday, District At torney Jones requested that it be stricken off tlie list, as he had been In formed thete was no desire on the part of tlione Interested to prosecute it further. He gave notice that ho would apply for a nol pros, ut the next term of quarter sessions. Mr. Murphy, private counsel In the case, objected to this action. He said there was no disposition to drop the prosecution and that Mr. Jones' inform ant did not tell the truth. When tho quarter t-esslons list wns j disposed of yesterday und the court was about to pass to other mutter, Mr. I Murphy called the attention of tlie court to tlie fact that the Clarke case had not been considered. He was In formed that the court had stricken the case from the list because Informed there was no desire to prosecute the cas-w further. "That statement wns not the truth about tho case," replied Mr. Murphy. District Attorney Jones snid he under stood the case was to be dropped, and at nil events it was only a minor con stitutional point that was Involved. This led to a lively Interchange of re marks between the two attorneys. COMMENT OF COURT. The court interfered and said they would have to settle the matter be tween themselves; that Mr. Jones Is tho public prosecutor and he can, If he de slreM, ask that a case be stricken off the list. "If I can't get relief from this court In this matter, where am I to look for It?" queried Mr. Murphy. To tills tho court repeated Its former statement that Mr. Jones is public prosecutor, nnd can make a request of the court as he did In this case. It was not suggested as to how relief can be obtained. The case remains stricken off the list.
