One train heavily laden with passengers
had reached Summit street. four blocks
east of the top of the Twelfth-street via
duct. For eight blocks there is a descent
of about thirty degrees. AT Summit street
the first car had stopped to let off a pas
senger, when the gripman lost his grip
on the cable. Immediately the train
started back, gaining great speed. A heavy
fog made it impossible to see block ahead
and indescribable confusion ensued among
the passengers inside. who were toe
closely packed to make a move to save
themselves, but many among those on the
platforms of the rear car jumped and es-
capped with slight injuries. When the train
had reached the top of the viaduct it was
going at the rate of perhaps thirty miles
an hour. Two blocks away, midway down
the incline another heavily laden train
was making its way upward. The fog was
too dense for either crew to see the other
and not until the runaway train was with
in few feet of the second train did those
on the latter realize any danger. The cars
came together with terrific force, throwing
the passengers in every direction.
Several of the injured had been thrown
clear of the viaduct railing, and. falling
twenty feet to the railway yards below
suffered injuries more or less serious.

\ STATEMENT OF MRS. EDDY.
Denying That Emerson is the Author

Concord, N. II. June, Recent

the author of Christian Science has
called forth the following statement

the proprietor and sole editor of that

his recent lecture at Chicago, he said,
