hundreds of their local friends, waiting
for the train, the excursionists
damned Garfield avenue some time be-
fore the train was due. When the
train was sighted the crowd pushed
arOss the track and on the Grand
Trunk tracks, which adjoins those Of
the Lake Shore, just as the Grand

dering in from the west. The people
were thrown into the air and dashed
to either side of the track.
Many Ground Under the Wheels.
Many of them were ground under
the wheels. The police department was
notified, and all the ambulances in the
city were rushed to the scene. The
victims were scattered along the track

were procured and the work of rescue
began Immediately. The scene re-

when there was none.
