Train Collision Kills Three Near Market Crossing
A Sunday evening crash on the market crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad at Douglassville left William J. Gray and his wife of Temple and Dr. and Mrs. Jamiel B. E. Schlegel dead. The high speed train struck their automobile as it approached the crossing, hurling it off the track and down an embankment. Rescue workers found the victims at the scene. Dr. Schlegel was badly injured. The travelers had been on a weeklong trip and were returning to Philadelphia via Delaware Water Gap. The crossing bell reportedly rang as the car neared, yet occupants did not appear to hear it.
