Narrow Escape on North Main as Car Throws Man
Joseph A. Snyder of 41 Ninth Street narrowly escaped severe injury on North Main Avenue after a streetcar lurched on a sharp curve near Bright's carriage works. Snyder and a companion carried violins and stepped onto the platform just as the car lurched, sending Snyder to the street and onto the southbound track. The conductor did not stop the car for over a block and offered no help, though an earlier passing car likely saved him from a worse fate.
