KILLS 2 WORKERS
ON W. MA. TRAIN
Dies in Crash at
Revel, Md.
Two men are dead?one of them.
John A. Pearson. 38 years old. of
111 Fourteenth street northeast.?
and several persons are suffering
from injuries as the result of a
head-on collision beween a passenger
train and a work train on
the Short Line branch of the'Washington.
Baltimore and Annanolls
Electric Railway at Revel station.
Md., shortly before noon yesterday.
Beside Pearson, who was conductor
of the work train. James
White. 35 years old, of Baltimore,
motorman of the work train, was so
injured indi nc u i eu a
short time after the crash.
Two IstlT IiJsrH.
Louis J. Israel, of Annapolis, a
passenger, was severely injured,
having several teeth knocked out
and his back sprained. Harry Uppenheimeis
of Baltimore, suffered
from.severe lacerations and braises.
A number of other passengers suffered
minor injuries and from
shock.
The passenger train was manned
by Arthur M. Milder, motorman, and
George C. Harris, conductor, both
of Baltimore. With the exception
of being shaken up, both were uninjured.
Both White and Pearson, after being
extricated from the wreckage,
badly mangled, were placed in a
motor bug and rushed to the Navml
Hospital, at Annapolis, six miles
distant, where surgical attention
was given them, but despite all efforts
they died within an hour.
Blaaee Work Traia Crew.
The accident occurred on the sin- j
lie track at the crnwlnm nf - ?... I
try road directly at Revel station.
Failure of the work train crew to
take a elding 1* ascribed as the
cause of the collision, according to
i statement made by Thomas Majon,
assistant to the president of the
road.
The work car was pushing a flat
ear at the time of the collision, and
the fact tnat the flat car greatly
reduced the force of the Impact Is
believed to have saved many of the
passengers from more serious Injuries.
The flat car was pushed
nearly \alf way through the work
:ar. ^
See*ad Bertoaa Aeddeat.
This is the second accident of the
IcUid on tha Short Line In the three
months since the road was taken
>ver by the Washington. Baltimore
tnd Annapolis Electric lines
George Harris, conductor of the
passenger train, was a member of
:he crew In the former collision,
which resulted In the death of one
nan and the injury of eighteen oth>rs.
In that case the responslbllty
was also attributed to the work
:ar crew. '
