avenue and Thirty-second street, De-
troit, Tuesday, when 40 passengers
were hurt. That somebody wasn't
killed outright is a miracle. The car,
while running at a rapid rate, jumped
the track, plunged into the front OF
Solomon Silberstein's store and
turned over on its side. The
passengers were pitched In all direc-
lions and some were extricated with
difficulty.
Ambulances were quickly on the
scene and the injured were hurried
TO hospitals. Pending the arrival OF
the vehicles the victims were cared
for in neighboring houses. stores and
offices. Doctors living in the vicinity
were quickly at the side of the per-
sons injured and every possible aid
was given.
Passengers were piled on top OF one
another like so much cordwood. Their
clothing was torn and blood streamsd
down their faces. Not one in the car
seemed to have escaped an injury of
some sort
The wreck looked really worse than
il was. The big car was lying about
in three sections the body separated
from the trucks and the roof took an
upward flight. The different parts,
except the trucks, were almost COM
pletely demolished, as was also Sill
berstein's store front. A worn rail is
said to have caused the derailment.
