ae Py) TROLLEY POWER ~ PROSTRATES MAN, Entire Yoltage of Circuit Passes Through Body of Street Rail-| . Way ‘Employee Who Tried to Replace Power Pilate. SECOND AVENUE LINE HELD UP FOR AN HOUR. Loud. Report, Followed by Streaks of Blue Flame, Which Shot Out Underneath Car, Causes Much Excitement. One man badly shocked. traMc along Second avenue held up for an hour and the entire neighborhood near Fifty- ninth street treated to fireworks dis- play resulted to-day through the power plate snapping off a downtown trolley ear, In trying to re-attach the plate to the ear, John Riley, of No.: 332 East Six- tleth street, an employee of the Metro- politan Street Railway Company, had a narrow escape from electrocution. He was seriously shocked and taken in an unconscious condition to the Flower Hospital, the entire voltage of the cir- eult having passed through his body. Loaded with passengers, the car had crossed Sixtieth street and was ap- Yroaching Fifty-ninth street at a lively clip when there was a loud report and streaks of blue flame shot out from under the car. Two inspectors, with Riley and the crew of the car, tried to revlace the power plate, which had de- tached itself, but every effort wus at- tended by e terrific pyrotechnic display, After forty minutes’ delay the line was Peopened to traffic at 8 o'clock, attempts to replace the plate being abandoned. With diMculty the plate was knocked out of the trolley slot. The electric flames brought hundreds of spectators, who thought all that end of the city ‘was ablaze.

N. Wetherlow, a brakeman, were killed, the latter's head being blown off, and Fireman F. Neary was prob- ably fatally injured. The locomotive was No. 116% of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, recently bor- rowed by tho Central because of rush of business. The men, who were all from Buffalo excepting Wetherlow, whose home was in Rochester, were New York Central employees. Conductor Redmond, the only member ot the crew who escaped, was in the eanoose and knows nothing of what Was going on in the locomotive prior to | the tme of the explosion.

Near the Willis Avenue Station. } The body of Thomas O'Brien, fright- fully mangled,’ was taken from the Blevated Railrdad track about one hun- Gred and fifty feet south of the Willis avenue, station of the Second javéenue Une shortly before 2 o'clock this morn- ing. Whether O'Brien was shocked and killed by the third rafl or struck by a passing ‘train is a matter for the Cor- oner’s physician to determine. It is be- Meved that the third rail killed him, for the mangling of the body can be achounted for im the fact that the train whose motorman , discovered. the body ran over it before coming to a stop. "Brien was a btikeman employed on the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad.
