STRUCK A CABLE CAR
MARROW Escape From a Terrible Disaster
at Chicago Grade Crossing.

Narrow Escape From q Terrible Disaster
at a Chicago Grade Crossing.
CHICAGO, March pa Baltimore and Ohio
switch engine pulling heavily loaded train of
freight cars collided with q State street cable
train at the 18th street crossing last evening.
The grip car and first trailer were demolished
and sixty passengers had a most miraculous
escape from a terrible death. The freight
train had just rounded curve and was going
west with full head of steam on. James Dill
Ion, the engineer, had no opportunity to see
the approaching grip, as two large buildings
abutting on the street obstructed the view on
either side of the track
The cable train was made MP Of two trailers
and the grip car. The engine struck the latter
In the middle and the fifteen occupants were
hurled through the air. The greatest confusion
was in the closed car following the grip. Ac-
cording to the conductor there we're
forty-fve passengers in this car As soon
as the shock was felt they all made q
mad rush for the rear door. The exit was too
small and the frenzied passengers who had not
been jostled to the floor when the train was
struck pulled and tugged in their enraged en-
deavof to extr1cate' themselves The
ladies carrying babes tainted and Mrs
Boyle was knocked down while trying. to get
out. She was trampled upon and received
very painful bruises about the body. Mrs.
Morgan had her wrist sprained and several
other passengers were bruised and cut about
the head.
If the cable train had been ten feet further
across the tracks the loss of life would have
been appalling.

district attorney and by the Judge who
presided at the trial that the guilt of
the petitioner was not established beyond
reasonable doubt. Indeed, the weight of the
evidence seems to have been against the gov
eminent. His conviction was much influenced
by the fact that he had previously been con-
