PASSENGER CRASHES
INTO BIG ENGINE
Many Passengers Injured in 1
Head-on Collision on Iron
Mountain Near Earle
(Irassy Lake, May 5.— Five
persons were hurt dangerous
ly and a score of others were ■
injured when the Hot Springs
special, east bound, and an ex
tra Iron Moutain engine, run
ning light, met head on here
at 0:15 o'clock tonight.
Practically none of the pas
sengers on the special escaped
injury. That more were not
hurt dangerously is due to the!
heavy construction of the cars. |
Rain was falling in torrents
as Kgineer William of No. 220, i
the special drove his locomo
tive into the curve, a short dis-!
tune west of here. She was j
running 10 miles an hour, it is
said and neitherhe orengineer!
Lloyd coud stop, when sudden-1
ly their headlights flashed the
danger.
Kgineer Williams and Fire
man 11. Agnew jumped. Neith
er was hurt seriously.- Fire
man H. Smith on the extra
jumped. He was not hurt bad
ly Fngineer Lloyd and Con
ductor Page stuck to teh en
gine and were penned in the
cab beneath coal from the ten
der and a mass of debris.
With the removal of the in
injured and all passengers to
Earle, the wreckers began
choiring the right of way. If
will require probably 15 hours
before the line again is opened
for trafiic.
Mistaken orders are said to
have caused the wreck. An in
vestigation will start tomorrow

INVENTS DEVICE
FOR CAS ENGINES
Spark Plug That Cleans Itself
and Insures Safety Invented
By Newark Citizen.
John L. Crosser of this place
has been granted a patent on a
self-cleaning spark-plug for
gasoline engines.
Mr. Crosser is an expert gas
oline engine man, and has had
several years experience with
gasoline engines of various
kinds.
The spark plug is the most
vital part of a gasoline engine,
for when it fails to spark
there is “nothing doing.” Con
stant use will cause the spark
plug to become corroded, and
sometimes a verry small ac
cumulation of corrosion on the
spark plug will kill the vitali
ty of tin1 plug. When this hap
pens, the spark ceases and the
engine stops, no matter wheth
er it is on an aeroplane, auto
mobile or any other machine
driven by gasoline power.
From this, it can readily be
seen that a good spark plug
that will always emit a heal
thy spark is a thing that is
very much to be desired by all
users of gasoline engines, from
autoists and aviators or. down
to the thousands of people
who use gasoline engines for
various purposes.
Mr. Crosser’s new device is
u very small affair, which can
be manufactured at small cost.
He is now negotiating with a
number of large manufactur
ers for the manufacture of his
invention and it is very prob
able that it will be ready to
place on the market at an ear
ly date.
