FRIGHrFUL CATASTROPHE.
Wreck of Cab1e-Car Loaded wit
Human Freight.

Wreck of Cab1e-Car Loaded with
Human Freight.
CINCINNATI, October 18th The most ap-
palling accident ever known on the in
clined plane railway of this city happened
to day between II and o'clock, on the
Mount Auburn inclined plane. 1t lies at
the head of Main street, and reaches to a
hight of between $50 and 800 feet in
space of 1000 feet. Two cars are EN- ployed.
one on each track, drawn by two steel wire
cables wound upon drum at the top of
the hill by an engine.
Nine passengers haG entered the car at
the foot of the plane, and the car was as
cending all right until it reached the top,
when the engineer found the machinery
would not respond, ard he could not stop
the engine Only one result was possible
for the car to be arrested by tie strong
bumpe which stops its progress; and as
the engine continued all its force was ex-
pended on the two cables, and they snapped
like wrapping thread. Then the car with
its nine inmates locked within descended
the slope at frightful speed. The crash at
the foot of the plane was frightful. The
iron gate that formed the lower end of the
track on which the car rested was thrown
sixty feet down the street. The top of the
car was hurled almost as far in the gutter.
The track itself aud the floor seats of the
car formed a shapeless wreck, mingled
with the bleeding, mengled bodies of the
passengers. The dead were taken to the
Morgue to await full Identification. The
wounded were carried to the nearest place
where an examination could be made.
LATEST PARTICULARS.
At11:30 tonight it is known that there
we're eight persons in the wrecked car.
Following is the correct list of the dead and
wounded:
Dead-Judge Wm. B. Dickson, Michael
Kniss, Mrs. Caleb Ives. Mrs. Mary G. En-
rett and Joseph McFadden, Sr.
Wounded-Mrs. Agnes Hostetter, Miss
Lillian 0skamp and Joseph McFadden, Jr.
Besides the occupants Of the car several
persons standing on Mulberry street were
badly hurt. One of them, George Miller,
is believed to be fatally injured. He is still
unconscious. Joe Huette, aged II, was
badly cut about the legs by flying frag-
ments.

John M. Clayton's tree has been
blown down and a new one has been
planted i'm its stead. The rise of Clay.
toms tree, its history, its fall, and the
subsequent events which eliminated

to mind the old Constitution, planted
by the same hands in Delaware soil
only few years before the setting of
the tree whose successor now mods To

the flaming of the old Constitution
John NJ Clayton stood on Georgetown
Square and planted the tree that sue
cumbed to the storm of last Septem-
Der. Only two years after the election
Of 1887, when the old Constitution was
condemned by popular vote, Chief
Justice Conegys stood on the same
square and planted n new tree that

tons tree gradually lost their grll
upon the soil in which they we've
planted. They were not embedded
deep enough; they did not cling close
enough; they did not possess sufficient
affinity for their surroundings to
spread and grow and throw out root
let's until they could defy the east
winds fury The storm king srealhed
upon the tree aud It fell. And so it
was and is with the old Constitution.
It has lost its hold upon tho affections
