(To be continued.) Test of a Fender in Scranton. The effectiveness of a fender in saving life was shownin Scranton, Pa., a few days ago. William Stetter,who is slightly deaf, was crossing the North Main Avenuetracks at oclock when car 113 struck him. Stetterfell into the fender and was carried about 200 feet. Hesprang out when the car had slackened its speed suffi-ciently. He was badly frightened, but with the exceptionof a slight bruise was uninjured.
