Ten persons were killed and a score In jured this evening when a trolley car on the International railway's line Jumped the tracle at a curve on the sharp incline leading from Queenston heights Into the Tillage and rolled down a steep embank ment. The car was carrying a crowd of Toronto eicurslonlsts to the boat landing here. Late tonight the only body which had been identified was that of Dorothy Keats, 1 years old. The car was so completely crushed that the work of extricating trie in jured was distressingly slow. There were about thirty-five passengers on the ear and only ons or two escaped injury. Eight dead were taken from the wreck age and two of the Injured, one of them a girl of 1, died while being carried from the car to an ambulance at Ni agara Fans. Passengers said that the car seemed to buckle in the center before it left the rails. The car was virtually In two sections when It stopped. Owing to the inaccessibility of the spot there was a long delay In getting the dead and Injured Into Queenston and Niagara Falls. The more seriously in jured were taken to the general hospital at Niagara Falls and those who could be moved after receiving first aid were car ried on board a Toronto steamer, which was at the dock. Conductor Escapes. Conductor Oeorg Caswell was among the few who escaped unhurt. Realising that he could give little as sistance to the injured, he ran to Queens ton. A general call for help waa sent out in the village and word of the acci dent waa telephoned to the main offices of the company at Niagara Falls. Ont. Relief cars were started from both ends of the 11ns, carrying all the doctors who could be reached, as well as soldiers who bad been on guard at the bridge. When the rescuers arrived the slightly Injured were sent on to Queenston. The bad cases were taken to the hospital at Niagara Falls, Ont It was after mid night when the last case had left the operating table. The Injuries of many of the patients were serious, but it was thought that no additional deaths were expected. Cans a Mystery. Railway men have been unable to learn what caused the car to leave the rails. Neither rail Is broken, and crew and pas sengers say the car waa not moving at excessive speed. The rails were slippery from rain and the car waa heavily loaded. These conditions, it waa said, may have caused the flanges on the car wheela to jump the rails when the greatest force was thrown upon them as the car turned the curve.
