Gravity Railroad Accident Near

Five-Mile Dash Down th«
Side of Mount Penn.
Ow Attempting to Bound a Sharp Care*
On Its Flight Downward the Well
Filled Car Lmth the Track end la De¬
molished on the Rocha—Several People
Killed and a Number Injured.
Reading, Pa., Aug. 84.—An accident
occurred on the gravity railroad which
ascends M^nas jKoagt Mount Penn, ± ' 94 “’ near * here, at 11
o'clock Friday morning. A well filled
car, ——M—— on reaching the upper terminus of
the rood, from some reason or other-
said to have been the failure of a brake
to work—started down the five-mile
grade. At Horseshoe Bend, > the 9 second
curve from the city, the car jumped the
track and was smashed into kindling
Wood on the rocks. Several people
were killed aud a large number injured.
Another Account.
Later advices from Mount Penn say
there are different stories as to the canse
of the accident but it appears that when
the tower was reached, the point where
the gravity portion of the road com¬
mences, the engine was detached, when
the car ran away while the passengers
were still on board.
The distance to the point of starting
is five miles, and it is estimated that
this was covered by the runaway car in
about three minutes, the car attaining a
fearful speed, estimated at eighty miles
an hoar. It remained on the track to
the foot of the plane, going around all
the curves, while the passengers
shrieked iii their fright and several
jumped off.
When the car reached the station at
the foot of the plane it jumped the
track and rolled down a fifty-foot em¬
bankment, where it landed upside down
with the passengers imprisoned inside.
The greatest excitement prevailed, and
soon a large crowd gathered.

His Utter to tho Chur of tho Brother¬
hood of Engineers.
Mr. Powderly has vtrftten the follow¬
ing letter to Mr. A rt hur, gr and ch lsf en-
ginserof the Brotherhood of Dooomo-
tive Engineers:
There is at present a strike in progress
on the New York Central and Hudson
River-railroad. In this strike is invslrsd
a principle which we cannot afford to lg.
nore, and the principle is that of fair play.
Many of the men on strike are firemen,
and belong not only to the Knights of
Labor but to the Brotherhood of Looomo-
tive Firemen. They are manfully con¬
tending the right to maintain their or¬
ganization. They are now at a standstill,
and In some Instances their places are be¬
ing filled by members of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, who have
stepped down from the foot-board to pick
up the shovels which were dropped by ths
firemen.
Are you willing that this should con¬
tinue t Are we to understand that this
action is to receive the sanction ot the
organization you represent f The Knights
of I<nbor desire to know how you stand
on this question, for you ore authorized to
voloe the sentiment of your order. Ths
members of various Brotherhoods of Bail¬
way Employes are desirous of knowing
where you stand, for on your answer, we
desire that it-be a public one, depend* We ths

If your members continue to the

with your consent, and the future will be

official sanction of the strike. We only
ask for fair treatment at your hands, and
that we have a right to expect The man
who takes the place of another in this con¬
test Is untrue to the cause of organized
labor.
The organization which approves of
such conduct must be regarded in the
same light, and we want to know from
your own lips where to assign th* Broth¬
erhood of Locomotive En gin ee r s in this
roster of organizations. We have asked
of the other organizations of railway em¬
ployes to take sides with us. They are
responding nobly, and the future of labor
seems to indicate that between us all
there will be a far better understanding
than ever before, but your voice USSR be
heard either on the stde of the railway or
the men. Which will it bef I remain,

Why Powderly Wrote te Mr. Arthur.
Telegram* received in Albany locate
the cause of Mr. Powderly’* letter to
Chief Arthur as occurring in that (ac¬
tion. Knighte The of charge Labor firemen's is that places the striking til that
city were taken by the relief force of en¬
gineers thus giving practical aid to the
road in filling vacancies. The inference
drawn was that the firemen are hostile
to the strikers.

bany The blockade and Syracuse left being their raised engine*.
precluded the not need yet of filling all of these has
places, bnt such engines as were needed
taking nave been the supplied by of the other strikers engineers
and
working as firemen. It is safe to say
that in and about Albany are at least
ten Brotherhood men doing the work of
the strikers. The Knights of Labor
men there claim that Chief Arthur
knows nothing of this, and that it will
now be stopped.
