Another Car Wrecked.

Cleveland, Aug 10.--A Big Consoli-
dated street car was wrecked on the
Wade Parke avenue line, near Cactus
Drive, lonely spot adjoining Wade
Park. The car was east-bound and
the first intimation Of danger was its
sudden rising from the track and a
deafening report Residents for a mile
and half around We're awakened by
the roar. The bottom and forward
part of the car were blown out by the
explosion, the forward trucks being
smashed to atoms. Every pane of
glass in the windows and door We're
shattered. The car was blown from
the track and wrecked The fright
ened motorman was hurled from the
yestibule and the conductor from the
platform, but they and the one passen-
ger aboard were not injured. The ex-
plosiye used evidently was nitro-glyc-
crime. There is no clue as to the iden-
tity of the persons who committed the
outrage
