TWO LIVES LOST IN

Fatally, When Street Cars Collide,
Causing Collapse Of Bridse-Two
Investigations Are Begun.

Cleveland. o., Oct. 4.-The death
list in last nights bridge tragedy in
which two street cars plunged thirty
feet from viaducti to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad tracks, remained at
two today. OF the sixty injured it was
expected one or two will die. Two in
vestigations are under way today, one
by city officials and the other by the
Cleveland Railway Company
Conflicting testimony was available
as to the cause of the accident. Some
claimed q southbound runaway car
was derailed and collided with a north
bound car. the force of the crash caus-
ing the bridge to crumble.
Two street cars came together on
the West Third street bridge causing
it to collapse. Sixty passengers were
plunged thirty feet to the Baltimore
and Ohio railway tracks below.
From the railway tracks the two
cars almost rolled into the Cuyahoga
river. A@ss
How 50 man~a escaped unhurt Is al
most miraculous. It was at first be-
lieved that rtha- degsht list would reach
fifty, but latef Sc wxs Il und that while
dozens were hurt. only two had been
killed.
The accident occurred when a south
bound Scranton road car carrying a
crowd of women shoppers home at the
rush hour broke away from the motor
man on a hill approaching the bridge
and tore down the north approach to
the bridge just as a northbound car
reached the same point. The runaway
car jumped the track and struck the
northbound car. The combined
weight of the two cars and the shock
Of the collision was too much for the
wooden bridge, which sagged and then
gave way.

Correspondent Describes Brilliant

London, Oct. Am official state
ment issued here today gives details OF
the fighting on the Somme front after
the advance Of Sept. IS, describing the
capture of villages including 'Combles,
Gueudecourt and Thiepval, and pro-
ceeds.
1.-THE enemy has fought stubbornly
to check our advance, and since Sept.
Is seven new divisions have been
brought against us and five against
the French. The severe and prolonged
struggle demanded on the part OF our
troops very great determination ano
courage. At the end Of September the
situation may be summarized as tol-
lows:
Since the opening OF the battle on
July we have taken 2S,735 prisoners
and engaged thirty EIGHT German ol-
visions, OF which twenty-nine, about
100000 men, have been Withdrawn, ex-
hausted or broken.
1--WE hold the half moon upland
south of Ancre, occupy every height OF
importance, and 80 have direct opsei-
walton ground to the east and north
east. The enemy has fallen back upon
the fourth line, behind q low ridge
Just west of<the Bapaume-Transloy
road.
.-rhe Importance Of the three months
offensive Is not to be judged by the
distance advanced nor the number OF
enemy trenches taken. 1t must be
looked tor in the effect upon the en-
eny's strength in numbers. material
and morale. The enemy has used his
reserves In repeated costly and unsuc-
cessful counter attacks without caus-
ing our allies or ourselves to relax our
methodical pressure.
