Three Persons Killed and Many Serious
ly Injured.
BRooKLYN, Feb. "A,

BROOKLYN, Feb. IA.
A portion of the Union elevated failroad
in process of erection on Broadway, fell this
morning near the junction of Broadway and
Sumner avenue. Three men were killed,
one or two others were fatally injured and
iniuring dozen more. The Reed avenue
line of cars were badly demolished, and
butchers cart was wrecked and four horses
were killed The accident was caused by
the gross carelessness of those building the
elevated road and John Shafer. asst. fore
man in charge of the operations, was arrested.
Two huge derricks were hosting the large
iron girders into place, when
the stringers of the structure evidently
insecurely fastened spread, letting four iron
girders, construction car derrcks, boiler
and engine, quantity of planking and tools
and eight men fell into the street. The
crash was tremendous, aud the air was filled
with flying splin.ers and stones. The Reid
avenue horse car which was just driven un-
der the structure was partly crushed and the
driver and horses killed. 1t was partly filled
with passengers, several of whom were
hurt. Thomas Thompson, the driver, had
heard the cry of warning and tried, unsue-
cessfully to drive out of danger. heavy
string piece struck him, almost severng his
head from his body and disembowelling
him. Several elevated railroad work
men were buried in the ruins.
The shrieks and groans of the wounded
could be heard for long distance. F.
Fink's meat cart, driven up to the curb stone
moment before, was reduced to kindhng
wood and the horse mangled to death.
The fire alarm was sounded, and ambu-
lances summoned The police kept back
the great crowd which soon gathered. The
fire laddes threw aside the pipe and hose
but worked like heroes with axes, picks,
pixies, and jacks. Driver Thompson's body
was removed in pieces after the heavy iron
stringer had been lacked up.
Chas. kirschner, an employe of the l..
road was the next body recovered, and was
badly manged. Soon afterward, Patrick
Clark, also an employe of the l.. road. was
taken out. The body was terribly mangled
All we're covered with blankets, placed in
ambulances and taken to the thirteenth pre-
cinct station.

DOWN THEY GO.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Car
ries out it's Threat.
CuIcAGo. Feb. Ii

CHICAGO, Feb. IA.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy today
carried out its threat to put in reduced grain
rates from Nebraska points and Missouri
river to Chicago, cutting the old rates eight
cents per hundred and making a twelve cent
rates from Omaha.
1t is understood that the Milwaukee & st.
Paul and Rock Island & Northwestern will
combine to keep up the old rates on corn
and ignore the Burlington cut.
The rates on horses and mules in carloads
were reduced by all the lines from Kansas
City to Chicago, from $50 to $40 carload.
The live stock rate from Council Bluffs and
Omaha, were pulled down from S35 to SO
a carload, to equalize with the rate from
Kansas City.
The Rock Island sent out notice that they
woul meet the low rates between Chicago
and St Paul on through business, but de-
cline on all local business at those figures.
The general managers of the Northwestern
lines, in session today, took no steps to the
adjustment of the trouble.
