4 Street Gar Wrecked by Locomotive

A Street Gar Wrecked by LOGON olive
Notes.
laAsADENA, Oct. 24.-As the O'Clock
Terminal train from Los Angeles rounded
thecurve north of the Raymond station
it crashed into south-bound Fair Oaks
avenue street car, driven by L. Z.
Boynton, instantly killing the horse and
quite seriously injuring the driver, who
was alone on the car. with the exception
OF Mr.. White from South Pasadena,
who, however, escaped with few slight
bruises. The train was stopped as soon
as possible and Mr.. Boynton was taken
up town where his injuries were at once
attended to.
He stated that the cause OF the acci-
dent was the brakes failing to stop the
car, owing doubtless to the wet condi-
tion of the track. The train, he said,
but that he could stop the car, until 1t
was too late to do anything. The horse
was right across the track when the en-
gine struck it, and was carried some 20
feet on the cow-catcher, killing him.
The front platform OF the car was COM
pletely cut off, and the car turned
around sideways. brt not overturned.
How the driver escaped being killed is
O mystery, ae he was on the front OF the
Car and was thrown some Is feet in the
air. He received several bruises on the
head and body aud complained OF in
ternal pains, but IL ia not known whetE-
or his wounds are fatal or not.
Several people saw the accident, and
no blame is attached to the engineer OF
the train, which was running at the
usual speed. The brakes were put on
as soon as possible, but the train could
not be stopped.
The place where the accident occurred
is on sharp turn, and the street can
not De eeen from northbound trains
until they are almost on it.
ANOTHER ELECTRIC ROAD.
Once more prospects seem good for an
electric road between this city and Los
Angeles.
This time the scheme Ia enlarged, and
it is proposed to run the road from the
foot OF the Lowe road to Santa Monica.
just how much there 10 in this proposal
is difficult to state, but it is ass serted
that the Highland Street Railway COM
pany's lines in this city have been pur-
chased by company of eastern capital
lists, who expect to begin work at On O.
The Highland tracks extend from the
southern city limits to within aHhort
distance from the foot OF the Lowe road,
and connection could easily be made
with the line at but slight cost. Ex-
tending south as direct route as possi-
BILE will be eelected to Los Angeles, from
which city it is claimed the road will be
extended to Santa Monica. The scheme
as outlined is certainly an ambitious
one. and If carried to a successful COM
pletion would be of much benefit to this
city.
A franchise for operating the old
Highland lines by electricity was OBJ
tanned from the city council several
years ago, so no difficulty would be ex-
perienced in getting through this city.

A special meeting OF the advertising
committee of the board of trade was
held yesterday evening to take action
regarding the folders which the board
