TRAIN HITS STREET CAR.
Two Persons Fatally Injured in Acct
dent at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, March 23.-Two peo-
pie were fatally injured and nine
others, all girls, were more or less
seriously hurt Friday when a south
bound Fourteenth avenue street car
was struck at the Fourteenth avenue
crossing by Michigan Central rail-
way train.
There were % passengers on the
car, majority of them girls on their
way to business. The car stopped at
the railroad crossing and the con-
ductor ran ahead as usual, but ap-
parently did not see the approaching
train. The view up the track is
somewhat obscured by nearby build
ings. Just after the car passed under
the gates and out on the crossing the
gateman sighted the approaching
train and lowered his gate, but the
car was already on the track.
Engineer Smith of the train says
that he did not see the street car un-
til he was within rs feet of it. He
instantly applied his brakes, but the
distance was too short to stop the
train. 1t struck the car which had
stopped, in the middle, splitting it in
two and throwing the wreckage so
feet away, against trolley pole. A
few Of the passengers sighted the on
coming train just before the col
lision occurred and tried to escape
through the rear door. There was
not time enough, however, and they
were hurled into heap among the
wreckage Smith was taken from the
wreck with his skull fractured and
other injuries about his head which
will prove fatal. One of the women
sustained severe internal injuries.
The other injured received cuts and
bruises.
