New York, Sept. 12.-The death list
of yesterdays accident on the Ninth
avenue elevated railway, when a car
crowded with passengers pitched
headlong into the street, stands at IL.
Three men are in hospitals with frac-
tured skulls One of these, who as
vet remains unidentified, is uncon-
scioUs and not expected to live. More
than two score of persons were in
jured, many seriously.
The cause OF the accident and the
immediate responsibility remain to
be seen. The motorman of the
wrecked train is fugitive while a
switchman, conductor anr four guards
are under arrest. The switchman Is
charged with manslaughter and the
other men are held as witnesses.
Whatever may be the cause, the acct
dent came when a south bound train
on the Ninth avenue line was switched
off to the South avenue line at SOD
street junction. The motorman. ex-
pecting a clear track on the direct nne
of Ninth, or dsregarding the warn
ing signal that the switch was open,
rushed his train along at high speed.
The first car swung around the curve,
holding to the rails because of the
weight of the train behind. The
