One Car Had Stepped When the Other,
Running at High Rate of Speed,
Crashed Into It—Motorman Staid at
PoM and Received Broken Back.
St. Louis, Jan. 23.—More than 30
persons were injured, some of them
fatally, when cars on the Broadway
line coll'ded today. Most of the seri
ously injured were taken to the Alcx-
ian Brotherhood hospital while the
others were sent to their homes. The
seriously injured:
John Barrington, probably fatal.
Walter Seiventritt, internal injuries.
J. H. Hobeman, internal injuries.
\Villiam Miller, badly bruised about
the body.
Thomas McGovern, both ankles
broken.
Frank Alter, upper lip cut off.
Christopher Juergin, motorman of
the front car, internally hurt, perhaps
fatally.
Both cars were northbound, end
were traveling in a smoke fog so
dense that it was impossible to make
out an object a few feet away. The
front car was stationary, owing to a
quarrel over a fare. The second car
wms coming at a high rate of speed
through the fog. the motorman ring
ing his gong. When, less than a
hundred feet away the front car loom
ed through the fog. Juergin stuck
to his post, but it was useless to try
to avoid a crash.
The slippery tracks made a quick
stop an even more dTfficult matter
than usual and the car smashed into
the front one. The second car crash
ed its way through the rear of the
front ear, until it reached almost the
midille of it. The d'-zen or more pas
sengers on the rear platform of tho
front ear were jammed together under
the rerir car. The other car was
crushed and the passengers inside
were . i.r.n n about on tlm floor and
under bed seats, while showers
ot broken .-class fell upon them.
Juergin. the motorman. caught the
full force of the collision. lie was
cut and eni -bed and his back brok
en. He will die.
A panic ensued on both ears, and
in the fight for escape children and
women were trampled, on and the
weaker ones were beaten against the i
wreckage by the stronger.

Berlin. Jan. 27.—The news of tor- !
turing to death by natives of south

fice, asked the reichstag budget com-;
mitti'e to defer consideration of the
colonial appropriations, as he was too
busy preparing to send off troops to
southwest Africa to explain the esti
mates.

Brunswick and Western.
Tilton, Ga.. Jan. 27.—Two negroes,
were burned to death in the quarters
of the Hart Lumber company, at |
Heartsease, on the Brunswick and |
Western division of the Atlantic Coast
Line.
The shanty in which the negroes
were sleeping was burned and their
bodies charred to a crisp. As no
one knew of the lire until the shanty
was gone, it is supposed the two men
were intoxicated and went to sleep
before the lire and that in some way
their clothing or the floor of the shan
ty < aught. From the position of the
charred bodies, it is evident* they had
made no at tom fit to escape.
No inquest was held as there was
nothing to warrant a suspicion of
foul play.
