All of the injured will recover. Raymond Lucas, five, was instantly killed, Mrs. Ernest Blumenauer and her son William, of South Lincoln Ave., were carried injured 300 yards in the wreckage of the automobile on the pilot of the locomotive and Ernest IBlumenauer and Mr. and Mrs. George Lucas, of South Mill street were knocked down. "Mrs. Blumenauer and her infant Son were pulled from the wreckage of the automobile after the train had been stopped. The Lucas child was picked up dead from a crushed head. The other three were placed in am bulances and sent with Mrs. Blumen aner to the city hospital. The Blumen auer child was taken to the residence of relatives. The party had just left the Bllumen auer house where they had dined to take a ride in Lucas' new car which he was just learning to drive. The freight train was approaching when the automobile drew near. Thinking the motorists had ample time to cross Gatetender Frank Benedict kept the gates utlp. The automobile moved on the tracks and stalled. The adults jumpedi from the seats and were in the act of resctting the children when the pilot of the locomotiive struck the car Siltmrely in the middle.
