Electric Street Cars Carry Passengers
Down Hill to Death.

Down Hill to Death.
On the electric railway from Avon
dale to Cincinnati, all the brakes of an
incoming train of two cars gave way
simultaneously at McGregor avenue
ON Hunt street For mile and a
quarter from this point the road Is
down grade. 1t makes a long curve
before intersecting with Broadway,
which street it enters at right angles.
The grade for four hundred yards be-
fore entering Broadway is five or six
feet TO the hundred The motor man
when the brakes failed tried to reverse
the wheels, but the wires of the con-
'troller burned off, and the motor man,
conductor and forty-fve passengers
were at the mercy of that wild train.
Swifter and swifter sped the two
fated cars; louder and more despairing
grew the screams Around the great
bend the train shot at so miles an hour
with speed accelerating every second.
Into Broadway it dashed at 10 miles
an hour. Tearing across the street it
struck big cedar telegraph pole out
of the lower part OF which IT cut hog.
After cutting through the pole the
great iron frame of the car went on
and struck huge iron door post in the
building at the corner, split upon it
and thrust half the length of the car
into the building. Over this mass of
pulverized ruin the rear car leaped to
destruction. All around in this heap
of confusion were scattered the dead
and dying human freight. So far as
can be learned not soul escaped. One
was instantly killed and IS were either
fatally or seriously injured.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

throughout the country are more healthy,
failures diminish in number and resump-
ton by a number OF banks and other estab-
lishments illustrates tine general tendency
toward revival of confidence. Manufac-
turerS do not yet feel the upward Impulse,
ana exhibit on the whole rather less signs
OF Improvement than n week ago. The
record OF the week has been mainly one OF
satisfactory progress toward rccONe ry,
Wheat was Affected TO some extent by the
Vienna report. though it was presently
realized that the estimate as to this country
were no more reliable than those of the de-
partment and that the estimate as n whole
gave no assurance that the heavy surplus
of old wheat would De required. Corn
yielded a little with more satisfactory crop
reports, but in spite of better advIces from
the more important cotton producing states
the price of that staple was advanced &C.
The industrial situation mcnds but little.
The signs of Improvement observed a week
ago are scarcely sustained, for while twelve
textile and thirteen iron and steel concerns
have resumed after stoppage, fifth-fve
textile and twenty-one iron and steel con-
Germs have stopped. In addition thirteen
others have reduced working force. and
large number of works, including most of
those at rail- River, have reduced wages
from 10 to 20 per cent. A more cheerful tone
Is seen in iron and steel markets, but never
theess prices do not improve, nor are orders
sufficient To encourage general resumption
been greatly relieved and scarcely any
premium Is now paid for currency, partly
because many concerns which required
cash for payment OF hands have stoppedt
while many Others are using checks and
other substitutes for cash. The number of
