An Electric Car Is Deratled in
Kansas City, Has.
Lively Accident on Structure
Near the Union Depot.
WAS HUNG IN MIDAIR.
Car Split a Switch and Sprung
from Track.
Accident Delayed Traffic Until
After Dark.

Kansas City, Kan. Nov. 1S.-A west
bound electric car. No. 720, on the IL
road, left the track at the switch near
the Union depot about 4;30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The prompt appliea-
ton of the brakes by the motorman.
H. c. Babb, prevented the car from fall
ing from the road to the roof of the
Wabash freight house, a shell-like
structure. No one was hurt.
Cars are running on the IL" road only
from the depot to James street in this
city. They are switched back at both
of these places.
The car had started on the trip to the
west when the accident happened There
were only two passengers on board, both
of them negroes. The front trucks of
the car jumped the switch and left the
rails, while the rear trucks remained on.
Motorman Babb felt the wheels bump
on the ties and saw his car start for the
edge of the roadway. Then he applied
the brakes.
The negro passengers also saw the car
start sideways across the track and they
started for the door. One of them
yelled:
Please. mistah, stop the car. All
The wheels of the front trucks came
within six inches of leaving the road
way. The front end of the car extended
over the edge of the ties several feet.
Ties were mashed and the fender broken
from the car. The front platform OF
the car rested partly on the big cable
feed wires which conduct the power
from the Riverview power house. These
cables are strung along the side of the
elevated road on a level with the ties.
There are six of them.
The car was in charge Of Conductor
c. E. Soule. He was at the rear gates
of the car but could not open them to
let the negroes out. These gates are
controlled by the motorman. Traffic on
the IL" road was delayed until long
after dark by the accident.
