Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-07-24

Cincinnati was dazed by the shock but
the conductor, Frank Schroeder, of st.
Louis, escaped injury.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it shook all the houses in the
neighborhood and was heard for dis
lance of two or three miles. There is
no clue to the identity of the person
who placed the explosive on the track.
Persons living in the neighborhood say
they saw man in buggy stop at the
corner of Kensington street where the
explosion occurred. and get out by the
railway track. He remained there a
short time and then drove rapidly
away.
Within a few minutes after the ex-
plosion crowd of a thousand people
assembled and the injured, who were
suffering from shock, were cared for
until the ambulances arrived. None of
them was dangerously injured, their
hurts being confined to bruises about
the feet and legs. Mrs. Martin tainted
before she was taken from the car. All
were taken to their homes in ambul-
ances. The motorman on the car
managed to get out of the vestibule of
the car, and then fell to the street, but
he quickly recovered and helped to ex-
tricate the passengers from the wreck.
Passengers who were on the car say
the explosion seemed to life the whole
front of the car, and it ripped up the
floor for more than half the distance
from the front end. The car was in
fact a complete wreck, but strange to
say it did not leave the rails and was
taken to the barns by the next outward
bound motor.
The police were quickly summoned to
the scene of the explosion and a force
OF men was detailed to investigate with
a view to running down the person who
placed the explosive on the track. A
boy living near the corner saw the
mysterious man in the buggy. He said
he noticed the buggy drive up there
and stop and saw the men get out. He
fumbled about the rails for a minute
or two and then jumped into the buggy
and drove away at a gallop.
There seems to be no doubt now that
Mayor Farley will call out the three or
four available military companies in
this city in addition to those already
under arms. The call will include the
battery or artillery and the Governor
may be requested to send other troops
to the city
