AUTOMOBILE KNOCKS TROLLEY OFF TRACK But Car is Able to Proceed While Motor is Laid Up For Repairs. A five passenger Liberty touring car owned and driven by Anthony Brown, a Dwight street tailor, was in collision with an Arch street trolley this morning with such force as to drive the front trucks of the trolley off the track. The automobile was badly damaged. Mr. Brown was headed north on Arch street at what he thought was a safe distance from the trolley. He said that he did not know just ex- actly what happened but the first thing he knew the trolley and auto had crashed. The force of the im- pact threw the trucks of the trolley off the track and carried the auto about four feet west ahead of the trolley. When the two cars stopped the wheels of the trolley were ap- proximately ten inches from the rail. The left wheel on the front of the automobile was completely demol- ished, the front fender torn off and the hood and radiator crushed in. The engine apparently was not dam- aged. The trolley was a one-man car in charge of Harry Magnerson. Mr. Magnerson bears the reputation among trolleymen of being a careful operator and this is his first accident. NEW T. B.
