car was running slowly when the front
wheels struck the explosive. The explo-
sion that followed was heard for over a
mile. Windows were shattered and seats
twisted. The floor of the car was lifted
upward, throwing the passengers in
panic-stricken heap on the floor. Only the
slow speed of the. car saved it from going
over the steep embazkment lining the
road. The explosion lifted it clear to
within foot of the curb. The explosive
tore off the fanges of the wheels and the
motor fell between the rails. Two sticks
of dynamite were found on the rails,
where they had been placed with the in
tention of blowing up cars bound in the
opposite direction. The police believe the
dynamiting is an echo Of the street car
