An unlucky turn of youngU lllain
Path's automobile on Saturday on the
mad from West Conshohoeken to
h id .'a port, resulted in disaster. Ths
occupants were thrown under a trolley
tar, hy the side of which the auto was
.-pee,ling, mid Mr. I'oih was rendered
.ni onseloils from OOnCUSSlOD of the
brain. A liitl later the runaway vehicle
wall li had plunged on therailroad track
aeai-hy. was smashed hy a train.
Mr. I'oth the son Of I''. A. I'olii. the
Philadelphia brewer, had as his com-panion
Howard Armstrong, of Phila-delphia.
They were on their wny to
i the I'oth summer home nt Jefferson-
I ville, When the crash came Mr. Arm-
| strong was thrown un top of Mr. I'oth.
ji|id ha injuries were comparatively
' slight.
The automobile was spinning along
it D last elip with I'olh at the lever,
elos ■ hy the side of the Irolley tracks,
whi. h occupies part of the road. A car
emu ' along in the same direction, and
the men In the nutci kept a.heail of It.
-.mi iiniy the auto became unmsnage
able, Veered BbOUl and dashed right
.nn ss the traik.
The occupants jolted from their senta
fell directly In front of the cnr. while
their machine plunged on. through n
rail fence nnd down a.3p.foot enhank
mei t to the Reading Railway.
Miti.riiii.n Matthias applied the
brakes anil did all he could to stop the
tiul ey. but the men were lilt hy the Car
nnd pushed along. When the car was
stopped I'oth and Armstrong were
found ben«tU) it. and were taken out
with difficulty.
Ppth was unconscious from his In-
Jiirlt s, badly bruised and bleeding. He
was placed on the trolley ear nnd
brought to Norrlslown. Later he was
removed to Jefferaonvtlle, still union
seio'lS.
Conductor Kelley nnd Motormnn
Mntlhins. state that twice before the
accident the ajito got in front of the
trolley car, but turned ofT in time,
The third time the nccldent ocenred.
The motormnn. becnuse of the ma-chine's
errntic movements, wna run-ning
but slowly nnd nccordlng nnil his
car well in hand. Hail this not been
the case the men would have been
ground to pieces.
The nuto had scarcely landed a I the
foot of the embankment when a freight
train came along ami knocked off the
top. Notwithstanding the smash, the
machinery continued in operation, ond
the people that gathered were afraid to
go nenr It. In fnct, none knew how to
slop the wheels. II was finally slipped
by Mr. Arinsrong.
Mr. Armstrong when asked for an e\
plnnatlon of the accident, said: "1 con-sidered
Mr. Pott fully eapable to man-agi
the auto. We were running along
apparently all right. All I know is
thai the thing suddenly swerved to the
side and Mr. I'oth nnd I were thrown
out. I fell on top of my companion
and thus escaped Injury. I hnd no
time to think of the danger of the ap
in BChlng trolley ear. It was all so
sudden."
