Passengers aboard a northbound Mount
Pleasant car at 18th and I streets were
thrown into great excitement about 4:15
O'Clock yesterday afternoon when a
short circuit occurred in one of the mo-

much flame and smoke, but small
amount of damage.
Several woman passengers jumped from
the car while it was in motion and were
bruised. The flames subsidized in short
time and a number of the passengers had
just resumed their seats when there was
a second short circuit and the car was
again filed with smoke. Again there
was a wild scramble to get out of the
car. Fortunately no one was seriously
injured. The car was disabled by the
burning out of the motor and had to be
pushed to the barn by the car following.
