THE GATE WAS RAISED.
But Second Train Smashed Il Stree
Car and Killed Four People.

Car and Killed Four People.
CHICAGO, H., July IAN incoming
passenger train on the Grand Trunk
road ran down crowded street car to-
night, killing four people and injuring
number of others.
The collision occurred at the Forty
ninth Street crossing, which is a net
work of tracks, and has always been re-
earded as dangerous. A long freight
train going west had Just passed, and
the towerman, George Barnett, had
raised the gates This was taken as a
signal that the way was clear, and
Driver StainecSer started across the
tracks. The passenger train was rap
idly coming from the west, how
ever, and, just as the car reached the
tracks it struck it squarely in the center.
The car was turned entirely around and
hurled fully thirty feet from the point
where it was struck. Some OF the pas
sengers managed to save themselves by
jumping but the majority were caught.
Perkins and Dillon were frightfully
mangled. A piece Of timber had been
forced into the latter's throat, breaking
his jaws. The two women killed were
unknown to any of the passengers OF
the car and there was nothing upon
them to give a clue to their identity.
The police arrested Engineer Jones,
Fireman Campbell, of the passenger
train. and man named Henry Hughes
who was riding in the cab of the engine.
The engineer said that he did not see the
street car until it was on the track and
so close that it was impossible for him
to stop the train. The towerman,
George Barnett, who raised the gates
and allowed the car to come upon the
track, said: 81 raised the gates after
the freight train had gone west and did
not see the approaching passenger tram
until it was close upon the crossing. |
then lowered the gates, but it was too
