A BROOKLYN HORROR.

In which Eight People Are Killed and :
Number of othors Seriously IBJured.
An Engine Fails ON n Car-NamOS
the Killed and IUJurod.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 1.-THE most terrible
accident that has yet occurred in connec
ton with the building OF the elevated rail
road structures in this city took place a
9:45 o'clock to-day on Broadway, near Ell
lery street, Eastern district.
The steam engine used by the Unior
Elevsting Company in hosting the iror
girdsrs, fell just aa Reid avenue car wa
passing under 1t.
The engine crashed through the roof o.
the car, and the passengers, among them
several women, were buried in the ru'
ins.
Ambulancss, engines and hook and lad,
der trucks OF the Fire Department were
soon on the scene and the fremen at work
reecuing the people under the debris. A
gang oflaborers, employed on the elevated
road, were also put TO work TO assist in
the work OF rescue.
Seven people were killed outright and
ten or more received injuries, The Woun'
ded were taken to houses and stores in
the neighborhood, where they received all
the attention possible. One man was seen
in grocery store with his head crushed
in. He was struck by heavy timber.
Another was taken to an adjacent liquor
store, badly wounded. A lumber wagon
had Just passed under the derrick when
the accident occurred.
Tho following Ia q list Of those killed 30
far ss can be learned at this hour:
CHARLES KIRscHNRR, Brooklyn, q work.
man on the Elevated road.
PATRICK CLARK, Of New York.
MICHAEL McAULEY, Brooklyn.
EMMA HoLToN, Brooklyn.
THOMAS THOMPSON, Brooklyn, the driver
OF the horse car.
Two UNIDENTIFIED BODIES, one Of which
is supposed to be towboy.
The injured are:
MARCUS MRNDLKs, both legs broken.
JACOB BENDER, badly injured.
JOHN PETERSON, Justice Of the Peace; bad.
ly injured.
THOMAS CosBURa, badly injured.
MATTHEW YoUNe, q passenger; slightly
hurt.
THOMAS ]. CASSIDY, New York; bad con-
fusion Of both leHs.
EDWARD PRTRRs, slightly hurt.
WILLIAM NICHOLS, New York; badly hurt.
JOHN FIELD, New York; scalp wounds.
Mention, one Of the injured, died at l
o'clock at st. Catherine's Hospital.
John Schsefer, the superintendent Of
the Elevated Railroad workers, was placed
under arrest. The accident ssems to have
been caused by the upright beam not hav-
ing been sufficiently well braced in the
granite eocket, and when the weight Of
the lifting machines came upon the plat
form they gave way. The wooden beams
were examined by the reporters and found
to be much decayed where they snapped
at the bolts. The street car, It appears,
would have escaped the accident had not
a horse and truck intercepted 1t at the
time. The truck horses shared the fato Of
the street car horses.
LATER-A late dispatch says the list Of
killed Is not SO large as OF first reported,
and that the number Of injured is fifteen.

Hacker, Of Danville, Ill, shooting and
killing Mable steIke, Of Belle Plaine, Iowa,
and then blowing out his own brains.
Hacker was nineteen years old and his

result Of love trouble. II seems that
young Hacker and Miss steike met some
time ago and fell in love. The marriage
was opposed by the girls parents and to
separate the young people she was sent to
Berlin to visit at the home Of her grand.

when Miss Stieke prevailed on her grand
parent to take the young man under his

door Of his room when the tragedy occur
red. The family rushed to the scene
upon hearing the pistol shots and found
young Hacker dead and the unfortunate
