g DIE IN A COLLISION
INTERURBAN CARS CRASH WHILE

CAUSED BY MISTAKE IN ORDERS
Hardly a Passenger Escaped Injuries of Some Sort, Mostly Cuts

Detroit-Two large interurban troll ley cars on the Detroit. Jackson & Chicago railway. a part of the Detroit United Railways system. running from Detroit to Jackson. collided head-on Tuesday afternoon while running about 45 miles an hour. % miles west of here, near Ypsilanti. Nine men were killed and about 90 men and women injured. some of them serious ly. All of the severely wounded were taken to the University hospital at Ann Arbor A mistake in orders on the part of Motorman Isa Fay of the limited car. who was crushed to death beneath his vestibule, is alleged to have caused the collision. It is charged that he oyerran his orders. The dead are:
 MOTORMAN ISA FAY, Detroit.
 JOHN FACET. Detroit.
 CHARLES CARMEN. Detroit.
 GEO. E. HOWARD. Detroit.
 JACK McCULLEN, tailor, Syracuse. N. Y.

 Three unidentified men. Four of the injured are in critical condition in the hospital here.
 Among the less seriously injured are: Edward Dewitt, Grand Forks. N. D., and G. W. Reeve Van Vert. O.
 The limited car, comfortably filled with about is people, left Ypsilantf at 2:11 o'clock for Detroit The running time of the car was changed Tues day, and reduced so that Motorman Fay left Ypsilanti 10 minutes earlier than he had been accustomed to. This Is thought by some to have been re. sponsible for his mistake. Instead of stopping at Harris switch, about two miles west of the scene of the acei- dent where it is said by the officials of the road the cars should have passed, the limited rushed by the crossing peril at high speed. As it rounded curve four miles east of 1psilanti, the local car flashed into view, also running at high speed. It was a hopeless effort to try and stop the heavy cars, and they crashed to. gether with terrific impact

NEW RIVER LANDING.
Wharf at Classic Shore on Site of
Old HOLSTERS.

The new pier which has recently been
built at Classic Shore. a short distance
above Colonial Beach, is on the site of
old HOLSTERS wharf, one of the old-time
piers on the Potomac, which was carried
away by Ice about fifteen years ago. The
remains of the old pier were visible until
within a short time ago. 1t was in its
day an important landing place and large
quantities of fruit and other produce of
the country came to this city from it.
When the wharf was destroyed by the
ice its owner refused to rebuild it and
the shippers that formerly used it went
to the Colonial Beach wharf after it was
built. HOLSTERS in its day is said to
have been the only pier on the river from
Matthias point to Smiths point on the
Virginia side Of the river The new clas-
sic Shore pier has been included in the
schedules of the river line steamers land
ing on the Virginia side of the river and
when the fall schedules of the boats are
issued the landing will be found upon
them. The new pier bids fair to be one
of the most important landings on the
Potomac.
