WRECK IN A TUNNEL.
Two Killed and sixteen Tn1ured In 8
Chicago Cable Car Collision

Two killed and sixteen Tn1ured In q
Chicago Cable Car Collision.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-IR a collision be-
tween cable cars in the Washington
street tunnel last evening two men
were fatally hurt. fifteen more were
seriously injured and a score at others
more or less bruised The cars were
set on fire by the stoves and for a
time there was fearful panic around
The scene.
Both the West Madison street and
the Milwaukee avenue cable lines
run through the tunnel aud at the
time the accident Occurred-6:3O
o'clock-all the west bound cars are
iammed to suffOcation with people re-
turning from business on the South
side A Madison street cable train
consisting of a grip car and two trail
ers was O-thirds of the way down
the incline toward the bottom of the
tunnel when the cable train of the
Milwaukee avenue line, also cOnsis-
ting of three cars, entered the tun-
neil Almost Immediately after start
ing down the slope, Gripman T. H.
Moran of the Milwaukee evenue line
lost his hold on the cable and the
car slipped forward down the steep
incline at a fearful speed
Moran rang his alarm bell, and he
and the conductor set all the brakes
on the train, but were utterly unable
to hold it, and just as the bottom of
the tunnel was reached the runaway
cars struck the Madison street train
with awful force, smashing it's rear
car into splinters and de molishing the
Milwaukee avenue grip car. Both
cars were piled up in a heap, from
which such passengers as were capa-
bic of moving crawled out, battered
and bleeding. Each of the two
wrecked cars held about seven ty- five
passengers and that number Of
them were not instantly killed was a
wonder
To add to the horror Of the acct
dent one of the wrecked cars caught
fire and began to blaze furiously- All
the people injured on both cars had
been removed before the fire became
dangerous, however A number of
people were piniOned in the wreck
and others were held fast between
the wreckage and the walls of the
tunnel. All of them were quickly
removed and the fire extinguis he'd BY
engine company which responded
to the alarm The cause of the acct
dent was the breaking Of the grip on
the Milwaukee avenue grip car With
this out of order there was nothing
except the brakes and they we're.
powerless against the heavy load on
the cars.

Home,
Professor Zeliekovitz, in recent issues Of
his paper, strongly limited that the books
OF the institution were not relia BILE, and
that all expenditures were not satisfac-

President slupsky Of the home was the
first speaker. He made remarks unoom-
plimentary to the editor. Immediately
there was an uproar, and harmony was Q
missing factor the remainder Of the even
Ing. The president was obliged to give
mp the door. and Secretary Bsrofsky
undertook to speak, He charged Pro
