along all right. Dildne, motorman on
the local, will be laid up for some
time with the fractured leg He is
Mt his home on South Church street.
Driscoll his conductor, IS almost
completely recovered from the shock
and his sore spots are disappearing.
George Underwood's worst injury
is an injured knee and it will be some
little time before he will be able to
use it.
Fred Myers, young man from To-
ledo, lay on a cot in the hotel lobby |
and continuously asked that he be |
not bothered but that the others be |
looked after. His legs both lay limp |
as if broken and his face covered
with gashes. He was later taken to
Toledo at his request and conveyed
TO the Toledo hospital where informa-
ton today states that the extent of
his injuries can not yet be determined
by the physicians.
George e. Crawford, of Findlay,
with one eye nearly gouged out of his
head and with other deep cuts and a
leg on which he could scarcely step,
urged that everything be done for the
rest as he was not hurt. He was
later removed to Senator Beattys
house and today his injuries appear
to be very serious.
Another and one of tho worst in
iured, S. A. Dugan, with the cali OF
his leg nearly torn off and his tace
almost unrecognizable from cuts,
ioked and told funny stories to the
long faced visitors who came into the
room to see him.
A Boston travelling man who was
but slightly hurt, had the pleasing
sensation of being hugged and kissed
for dear life by another mans wlfe,
bride of but few hours, it is under
stood. The bride was hysterical ana
it is presumed she thought the stranS
pr was her husband. 1t was some

unfastened from his neck. Several 9th
er women shrieked and were hysterl-
cal and for a short time wild excite
ment prevailed. A small fire in one
of the cars promised to add further
horrors to the affair as had it gained
headway some would have been burn
ed to death before they could be re-
moved. The blaze was quickly eX-
tinguished.
Oscar Straight, conductor of limit
ed, was injured internally, face and
arms badly cut. George Main, the
motorman, face and body badly cut.
VIM. Driscoll, conductor of local,
bruised and cut. w. F. Dildine, mo-
torman of local, leg broken in two
places, face and body cut.
Coroner Jones will hold an inquest
and a thorough investigation into the
causes that resulted in such ter
rible accident.
The general conduct of railroads is
for them to suppress everything in
connection with accidents, but in this
case no hesitancy is expressed by the
company in giving out information
and a committee consisting of super
intendents of other electric lines has
already been appointed to make
full investigation of the affair and
make report.
There is no doubt but that the ac-
cident was due to disobedience of or
ders or a mistake of some one in the
employ of the company. Both crews
insist that they had the right of way,
the limited crew declaring that they
had orders to pass the local at the
Portage switch, while the crew on the
local had orders to go into the "Y" at
the car barns to permit the limited to
pass.
Superintendent VIM. Smith did
heroic work in caring for the injured.
