DASHED INTO a CAR.
CareIessness in Chicago Leads TO
Terrible Accident.

Four persons werr killed and eight injured
a few mornings ago by the collision OF a
street car and locomotive at Forty-seventh
street and Stewart avenue. Chicago,
III. The street car was crowded
and was passing the Fort wayne
Railway tracks when Fort "-Tne
train crashed into it 50 suddenly that Tue
occupants had no time to escape Inc dead
art: George Blaka. Archibald McAudrews,
unknown man found under the tender or the
engine. Unknown woman died In patrol
wagon on the way to Mercy Hospital, SIP
posed TO be Mrs. Carson. as a card bearing
that name was found in her pocket:
The accident happened when the street
car traffic was at its heaviest and the cars
standing and sitting. The car was going
east on Forty-seventh street TO State street
where il was to be hitched to grip
car, which was to bring it to the bus1-
ness centre of the city. As IL APP
preached the tracks Of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago, at Forty-seventn street
and Stewart avenue, an engine came backing
down the tracks at a rate OF about
fifteen miles an hour, the railroad peo-
pie say. For some reason the oc-
cupants of the cab did not see
the car approa ching, and, on account OF the
heavy coating OF frost on the windows OF
the car, the passengers did not see the
engine bearing down upon them. ln An In
slant the engine struck the car and passe1
Oh.
The car was dragged for 80 yards, and
at every foot of the distance fresh injury
was added to those inflicted. The horses
became detached from the car and ran away
unin jured.
The widest confusion reigned for the first
few minutes. Those who had come to the
work of rescue could hear the pitfu: cries of
the wound ed and see the body Of one dead
man. George B!aka was the first one taken
from the wreckage. He was carried to sa-
loon, but died almost as soon as be reached
there. The other wounded were then picked
I'D and carried into houses near the cross
ing.
Five police patrol wagons soon arrived.
The most severely injured person, the
woman supposed to be Mrs. Carson, was at
once put into one of the wagons and
started for Mercy Hospital. Before
the wagon had gone far Conductor
O'Connor and Driver Stanley, who
were on the street car, and Engineer Ross
cup and Fireman Meager of the train were
arrested. That the accident was due to the
grossest carelessness cannot be doubted. By
their own statements the two crossing men,
Albright and Schwartz, were not attend
ing to their duty, and neither of them
knew of the danger until after the crash.
