road crashed into a trolley car loadeI
with pupils on their way to the high
school yesterday morning. Eight
children were killed. At least fifteen
were injured, some SO badly that it IS
feared they will die.
The trolley car was one Of the
special vehicles which the North Jer-

tween s and 3 O'Clock five mornings
Of high school pupils 1t was crowded
with young men and women from all
parts of the city, many of whom hal

both crossing gates were down when
the car and train approached the cross
ing at the same time
The motorman saw the train ami
put on the brakes with all his toTce.
The car, however, slid upon the icy
rails until the front platform project
ed over the tracks A moment later
the crash came. The pilot OF the
engine struck the front platform and
turned it over. The pupils by the
force Of the collision were prccipitatea

A most heartrending scene was pic
sented to the sight Immediately after
the train crashed into the car. Dead
or injured children lay in all directions.
Word of the calamity soon reached

The fatally injured are: Jennie Nc.

varied from broken limbs to bruises.
Owing to the severity Of the
weather the car carried more than the
ordinary load. Inside the car was
packed while both platforms were
crowded. Most of those outside
jumped before the crash came, but
there was no possible escape for the
others. When the collision occurred
the car was cut almost in the middle

In a few minutes several bodies were
taken from the wreck and laid side by
side in the snow alongside the track.
One body, that of a girl, was carried
n block beyond on the pilot of the en-
CINE. Load after load of injured was
sent away in the patrol wagons and
ambulances. Within a short time
there was not an injured person near
the scene of the wreck and the dead
