SEVERAL HURT IN 4 TROLLEY WRECK High Speed Fountain Heights
 Car Jumps Track CRASHES INTO A BUILDING Six Were Injured, but No One Fatally. Motorman McFerrn Seems to
 Have Lost Control of
 His Car.
CRASHES INTO A BUILDING

Last night at 9:45 o'clock trolley car 1 No. 415 of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company with six pas sengers aboard besides the motorman and conductor came bounding down the Fountain Heights hill at what was de- scribed as almost a lightning rate of speed, jumped the track before the re- verse curve was reached and stove into 1 the side of Carlisle Brothers store at the corner of Eleventh avenue and Thir- teenth street with a terrific broadside | None of the people were killed. but all except Conductor J. H. Grahl and negro man and woman were injured though perhaps, not seriously.
 The Injured. Those on the car were M. Fleischer of | 140S Fifth avenue, injured in side, les and head Mrs. F1escher, arm, leg and back; little Feischer boy, injuries about the chest; Morris Arbutler, dislocated l hip G. M. McFerrin, motorman, injuries about the head.
 McFerrin and Arbutier were taker to St. Vincents hospital and the Fleischers were taken home by Shaw & Sons ann bulance.
 It seems that the motormaa lost con- trol of the car near the top of the hill and it came down the 1900 foot grade with accelerated speed.
 Just before 1t reached the curve at Eleventh avenue 1t bounded from the track, over the sidewalk and rammed into the side of the store. knocking the frame structure back several feet from its original moorngs.
 But for it's course being somewhat checked by the six-inch curbing the store probably would have been demolished. As it stands 1t furnishes shelter for several yards of the front end of the car, the trucks of which lay twisted and scattered. l The injured passengers were taken into | the house of c. J. Deatman, l2O Eleventh avenue, where they remained until the ambulance was summoned
 Accident Described. | Mir Deatman, who saw the accident, stated that the car was coming down the hill like streak of lightning. The negro man on the car whose name could not be learned said that as they started down the hill the motorman cried Hook outp' and that he tried to jump but that every time he would get up from his seat the car was going so fast that he was jolted back
 George H. Harris, superintendent of the railroad department of the company, who was later at the scene of the wreck at tributes the accident to failure of the air brakes He said that the motorman had only been running a car about six weeks.
