HORRIBLE TRAGEDY WAS
OVER IN A MOMENT.


The horrible tragedy was completed in
almost a moment Not a man had time
to take another breath after the shock.
Without an instant's warning, while
tired and very, peacefully reading their
papers, or talking. they were. crushed to
death and hurled into eternity. Not a
scream went up, nor even a groan from
the four who were stricken 1t was all
over while the watch ticks once.
At Z o'clock East Lake car No 221, pull
ing trailer No. 692, left the city with d
fairly good crowd, thought not packed.
The o'clock store and shop laborers had
passed ON to their homes, and the cars
were running on fifteen minute sched-
ule. As it went up Second avenue a
group of six boys chased it all the way to
Twenty street, but they are now
thankful that they were left behind.
The car rounded Twenty-fourth street.
and started out First avenue. AT the
motor stood James w. Myers, a motor
man who took the helm only last week.
but who has been a conductor for the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company for several months. Collecting
fares on the motor car, was S. e. Jones
of East Lake, and on the trailer's front
platform leaned II. ]. Young, having just
rung up his last fare. His register
showed a total of thrty-two passengers,
CLEAR SIGNAL GIVEN
BY THE FLAGMAN.
AS they reached the first tracks the
fiagman swung out and signaled his man
across. They moved on across slowly
and the motor car had jolted past the
last rail when with crash, a coal car
from the north bore down upon the trail
er, striking it near the rear end.
Flying from trucks, the great structure
with its load of humanity is said to have
hung suspended moment in the air.. The
rear end came violently in contact with
a box car, standing on another track,
Knocked it over and STAYED in the side
The trailer then Topped over on its side,
pinioning mercilessly three out of the
four who were killed.
When Henry Dillon, the yard foreman
who had charge of the switching train,
arrived on the scene people were crawl
ing out of broken windows, and scream
ing from fright. About fifteen were so
badly shocked and frightened that they
had to be assisted.

O'NEILL HAS PLAN TO STOP
ACCIDENTS A CROSSINGS

AT the next meeting of the City Council
John w. O'Neill, alderman from the Sec
ond ward, will introduce a resolution
which, If adopted, is expected to work to
the end that fatal accidents from collis-
Ions at crossings may never occur again
in Birmingham.
The resolution will carry with it a
provision compelling the railroad and the
street railway to establish automatic
gates supplied with signal lights not UNI
