BROKE THE GATES
TO ESCAPE FIRE
TROLLEY PASSENGERS IMPRIS.
ONED IN A BURNING CAR.
The Motorman Jumped to Safety, For
getting to Open the Gates, and the
Passengers Had Struggle to
Wrench Them Open-The Car AL
most Totally Destroyed.

Eight passengers and a conductor,
imprisoned in burning streetcar at
Tenth avenue Sc and Fourth street
this morning, were obliged to force the
gates and jump over live electric wires
in order to escape from the burning
car. ,-....-
A badly damaged streetcar is the
only result of the accident, but accord
ing to passengers, the action of the
opening the gates might have resulted
in tragedy had the car been crowded.
The burned car was No. 1854 of the
Oak and Harriet line, and it was on
! its 7 o'clock trip toward the city. At
the corner of Tenth avenue Sc the
| trolley wire broke and fell. The live
, wire struck toward the front Of the
car and came in contact with some
metallic fixtures. Instantly the air was
full of fire and flames burst from the
car. The motorman s cab was the cen
ter Of the display, and without opening
the gates, the panic stricken motorman
ly spread to The woodwork and the
eight passengers rushed as one man
for the rear platform. Here closed
gates barred their way but with the
aid Of the conductor the iron barrier
was wrenched apart.
The fire department was summoned
and by the use of chemicals the fire
was extinguished, but not until the
interior of the car and the wooden
parts of top and sides were completely
destroyed. :
The Como Harriet and Oak street
lines were tied up for half an hour
by the burning car and election was
forgotten for the time by the East
Side residents in the vicinity.

ORPHANS SUPPORT GONE
RAILROAD KILLED FATHER AND
NOW sPOILs EARNING CA
PACITY OF THEIR PROPERTY.

Who will pay. for the support Of the
little Moore children this winter, now
that there is no rent collected for the
house that was pushed into the street to
make room for the tracks Of the Great
Northern, laid in such dramatic manner
at midnight, Aug. %?
The story of the Moore family is one
Of the pathetic incidents that follow in
the path Of the improvements pro-
jected by the great corpora tions. In
1898 Henry Moore was switchman on
the Great Northern and lost his life in
+ the service of the company. He was
signaling train and in stepping across
the tracks his foot caught in switch
and he was crushed und der the wheels
Of the engine. A. suit for damages re-
suited in a verdict for the Moore fami-
relative Of the family, who was in tho
service Of the Great Northern, declared
that it was case Of suicide. Charges
| were made that Moore's domestic life
had been unhappy. These charges were
declared absolutely false, but the jury
brought in verdict in favor Of the rail
road. s..
Mrs. Moore, stung by the accusations
a ann desth Of her husband went
violently insane and is today in an
asylum. The two babies were taken by
the mothers relatives to New Boston
where they were supported by the small
rental Of the father g house.
Two days before the Great Northern
executed it's grand coup to obtain pos
session of the land owned by the help
less families along it's tracks at Sixth
street and Sixteenth avenue Sc, the
tenants Of the Moore house were
warned to move out. The family
moved out, and have since disappeared
and no one knows where the order tt
move originated. The house wa:
bowled into the street and there il
stands today, worthless.
