and Horse Shocked
Special to The Telegraph
Penbrook, Pa., Aug. 12.—A serious
.accident was narrowly averted yes
terday when the crew of a funeral cap
which had turned into the Penbrook
'Cemetery failed to close the switch.
ißhortly after this the 3.30 o'clock car
came up Main street and was thrown
from the track, the rear end running
Into a telephone pole at the corner.
Motorman Grove was thrown from
.his feet to the floor, the closed doors
,preventing him from falling out. The
.windows on the left side of the car
were smashed and the passengers were
,thrown from their seats and several
cut by the flying glass.
The car was badly damaged and the
pole was split from top to bottom,
falling a short time later. In its fall
'lt brought down a mass of tangled
.■wires, several of them "live." A short
time later one of Bernard Schmidt's
(bread wagons came down Main street
and the driver, not seeing th? fallen
wires, permitted the horse to drive
over them. The animal stepped on a
'"live" wire and the shock threw him
fegainst thocurb. The driver followed,
itout neither was badly hurt.
