Smoke Interfered With Vlaloa.
Both cars were northbound and traveling
In a smoke fog so dense that It was
Impossible to make out an object as far
as a block away. The accident occurred
while the front car was stationary, owing
to a quarrel between the conductor and
passenger over a fare. The second car
was coming at high speed through the fog,
the motorman, Christopher Juergln, ring
ing his gong. When less than 100 feet
away, the front car loomed through the
foe-. Juerain stuck to his cost, but It was
useless to try to avoid a crash. The
allnnprv tracks made a aulck' StoD an even
rmore difficult matter than usual, and the
rear car smashed Into the front one. None
of the 100 passengers on the two cars knew
that the accident was Impending until the
crash came. The second csr crushed Us
way through the rear of the front car
until It ttached almost the middle of it.
The dosen or more possengers on the
rear platform of the front car were
Jammed together under the rear car.
The attacking car could not withstand
the force of the Impact, and for half Its
distance It waa crushed and the passengers
Inside were thrown about on the floor and
under wrecked ' seats, while showers of
broken glass fell upon them.
Juergln, the .notorman, caught the force
of the collision. He was cut and bruised
and his back was broken. He will die.
Panic Among Paaaeagera.
A ranlc ensued on both cars. Those of
the passengers who had not been too badly
hurt to druggie began a fight for escape.
Children and women were trampled on snd
the weaker ones were beaten against the
wreckage by their stronger fellows. ,
The accident occurred within three
blocks of the South Broadway car sheds
snd thav sound of the crash, was heard by
men at the sheds. They started out at
ence through the smoke to the rescue.
Guards and employes at the work house
hurried to the scene, guided only by the
crlrs of the wounded. They lifted the In
Jured out of the wreckage and placed them
In the few seats that remained Intact In the
front car. This car was started for the
sheds, as the front motor was Intact. The
two cars were so tightly wedged together
that the second car dragged along with the
front one.
Several of the worst Injured ones were
taken cut of the damaged car at the sheds
and transferred to another car to' be taken
to the Alexlan Bros, hospital and to the
private hospital of Dr. F. B. Dresher."
S2S2 BOuth Broadway. Physicians were
called at once to the car sheds to treat the
Injured who remained there. Most of these
were able to get to their homes.
The two cars were complete wrecks for
half the length ot each. Every seat In the
rear of the front car and In the front of
the rear one was torn from Its fastenings
and piled Into a heap. Every window on
both cars was broken.
George B. Dovey, division superintendent
of the Transit company. In charge of the
South Broadway division, says tha acci
dent was duo to the fog. He said:
So far as I can ascertain, the motorman
on the second car was not running st a
high rate of speed. There ts a down
grade at that point and the natural mo
mentum ot a car Is greater there than on
the level. Nothing has so far developed
to place the blame on any of tha employes
of the company, and sll of them, except the
Injured motorman, continued at work after
the accident.
