confined to their homes for several
days.
The Madison avenue car, crowded
with passengers, stopped at One Hun
dred and Sixteenth street to allow
some one to disemhark. 1t immediate
y started again, although west
bound car was about to cross the ave-

dows were broken. The passengers
became panic stricken and they fought
to get out of the cars. Many who had
escaped being cut and bruised in the
collision were thus injured.
