STRUCK AT CROSSING.
Electric car 2S5 left this city at
l:l0 o. m with fOrty-two passengers
on board. Arriving at Oneonta the car
stopped and the conductor went ahead
TO the Southern Pacific grade-crosslhe
at this point. He saw no train ap-
preaching and the car started forward
and reached the center Of the crossing
when the train, westbound from Pasa-
dena for Los Angeles. suddenly rounded
the curve to the north and crashed
into the car with terrific impact
The train was running at a high rate
OF speed and no effort could be made TO
avert the crash. The electric car was
struck souarely in the center by the
pilot OF the engine. The body Of the
car was torn from the trucks and car
ried 200 feet down the track before
portions Of the wreckage went under
the wheels and threw the engine from
the rails The engine and tender went
into the ditch and the combination bag
gage and smoker was partially de-
rallied.
The passengers on the electric car
were hurled in every direction and
many Of them thrown beneath the
train and horribly cut and mangled.
one woman was killed instantly and
several who were believed to be dying
AIKEN from the wrecka Se- The injured
were at once placed on an electric car
and taken TO the various hospitals In
Los Angeles and Pasadena. Scarcely a
person in the car escaped injury. SO
far as ascertained none of the passen-
gers on the train were hurt. The one
coach Of the train did not leave the
rails and none Of its occupants were
hurt beyond severe shaking up. a
car loaded with surgeons was dis
patched from Los Angeles at once and
the doctors rendered aid to the in
Jured before they reached the hospitals.
BLANES CAR CREW.

tempted TO get across the track in

the distance"

street and Grand avenue occurred at 8
o'clock this evening. The accident is
