A Suburban streets car, containing
IL passengers, a at a high rate OF
speed for several blocks, in st. Louis,
after the motorman. James Cahill, had
fallen from the front platform. The
first intimation that the conductor,
James E. Sullivan, or the passengers
had that they were in a wild" car
was when the conveyance made the
sharp turn at the corner of Fourteenth
and Wash streets. The a struck the
curve at such a high rate of speed that
the passengers and conductor were
thrown from their seats and jostled
against each other. The wheels chung
to the rails, however, and the condue-
tor rushed to the front end. He found
that tho motorman had disappeared,
and be threw off the power and applied
the brake, bringing the car to a stop.
The motorman, Cahill, was found sew
eral blocks back, with a fractured
skull and broken neck, and life was
extinct. According to Sullivan, Cahill
had not been drinking, and was not
subject to fainting spells. At any rate,
he could hardly have fallen from the
platform, as the gate was securely fas-
tened. The police think that Cahill
was thrown from the car by somebody,
and they are investigating.
