Wreck of Windber Street Car Ran into Bark Train, then Ran Back and Jumped the Track One Killed Forty Injured A terrible accident resulting in the death of Ernest Gianetta, a French chef in the Saratoga lunchroom on Clinton Street, Johnstown, conducted by Fred A. Vivis and the injured - some seriously – of about forty persons. The catastrophe was the culmination of two wrecks, the first of which was caused by car No. 104 running into a bark train, hauled by a traction engine, crossing the street car line, without lights at a sharp curve on Central avenue, Ferndale, near the Hogback tunnel, where the lights of the car did not illuminate the track far ahead and the motorman - Irvin Hoover - could not see the bark train until within a short distance when he reversed his car on the four motors notwithstanding, it struck the first of the three bark wagons with terrific force, shoving in the front of the car which instantly turned backwards and there being no break levers on the hind end of the car, Conductor Edward Deitz had no means to stop it and the trolley having jumped off the wire, the car was in darkness until it struck the curve where the tracks turn off the Valley Pike in Ferndale to cross the B. & O. tracks into Moxham, when, turning, running at terrific speed, it jumped the track and turned on its side. Relief was promptly at hand and after the passengers were gotten out it was found that Ernest Gianetta was so seriously injured about the head and neck that he died in a few minutes. The wounded were taken to the hospital and cared for and Coroner McMillan of Barnesboro notified of the accident that an inquest might be held. Gianetta who was a young man came to this country six years ago and worked in various saloons as chef, accumulating, it is said, by this means about $12,000. Besides this, by the death of his parents in France, he recently fell heir to property valued at $100,000 – $50,000 of which is cash. He had intended to return to France in about a year and settle up the estate and live a retired life. He has two brothers in this country and a sister and brother in France.
