Tbey were the most seriously Injured, and
the physicians thought best to keep them
there until their Injuries could be dressed.
W. 11. Kelgler,of Manor, a tormer employao
of tha Pennsylvania Company, gave his
opinion of tbe onuse as follows:
"The cause ol the wreck wss the breaking
of tbe brake bar on the overturned car. This
happened lust ns tbe car was passing the
station and caused tbe front wheels to leave
tbe track. In doing so tbe front wheels lelt
the main track and went over to tha tracka
of the Manor Valley branch, which beglna at
that point. The rear wheels remained on
tbe main track. Tbe car was thus drawn
apart, as it were, the front pari going up the
Manor Valley branch, going north, while the
rear trucks were trailing east. The strain
lasted as long as It could, when tbe car left
tbe track and was pitched Into tbo gully. 1
was only asbort distance from the track when
I heard tbe draw bar break, and soon after
beard tbe crash of the wreck. I knew Im
mediately that tbe train had lelt the
track."
Seventeen pocketbooks were found and re
turned to their owners. On woman said sh
bad (500 In a aatohel which sbe lost In tha
wreck. Several women when taken from the
wreck refused to leave saying tbat tbeir
pocketbooks with all tbelr money were in
tbe cars and they could not get along with
out them. Bevernl valuable diamond were
also reported missing.
