That One Might Have Been Averted.
CINCINNATI. Sept At is now believed that
the total deaths from the Avondale electric car
accident yesterday evening will not exceed
five. though many Of the three dozen people
injured will carry the scars Of their experience
through life. Two Of those fatally injured are
expected to die before morning by tho doctors
In attendance.
Superintendent jenkins OF the Covington
and Cincinnati hallway Company thinks the
accident might have been averted. He be-
lieves that the motorman had the current
turned of and allowed the car to gain too great
momentum on the hill. He applied the brakes
and they broke: the rear brakes also collapsed.
Then the motorman put on the reverse cur
rent but did is 80 suddenly that the motor
was burned out and he lost control Of the car
entirely.
A similar accident took place on the East
End line on Broadway at o'clock this after
noon. Electric car No. 100 became unmanage-
able on the hill and collided, with 2 ,Covington
car. wreckiug both cars badly. William Bolan
OF 1So Des Moines street, Columbia, was
seriously injured Internally: Gus Bernard. son
Of the Hon. Lewis Bernard. injured In right
leg; J. B. Meyer. 107 Twelfth street. injured
In right arm and leg.
