Some of the forty six psssen- gers saved themselves by jumping, but the
 majority were caught. Perkins and Dillon | were frightfully mangled.
 The towerman states that he did not zee
 ! the train coming until 1t was too late to
 lower the gates. Engineer Jones says he
 | did not see the street car until the horses
 were in front of the train. Engineer
 Jones, Fireman Campbell and Henry
 Hughes, who was riding in the cab, were
 | arrested.
