STREET CAR TURNS TURTLE.
Two Killed and Thirty Injured in Wild
Runaway in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, O., Dee. 31.-At least
thirty persons were injured, two of
whom died, in the wreck of a runaway
electric car on the Warsaw avenue hill
in this city Sunday.
The motorman discovered at the top of
the hill that he had lost control Of the
car and tried to use the emergency brake,
but it failed, and the car got away for a
distance of five blocks, when it struck a
telegraph pole and turned turtle, the
passengers being thrown in heap in
the mud beside the bank.
Hiram Lester, a passenger, by operat-
ing the brake on the rear platform, prob
ably prevented a much worse accident,
as his action, made at great personal
risk, reduced the speed of the car mate
rally before it left the track.
