Louis when the crash came. The lights went out as I heard the crash and In total darkness, I could not realize what had happened, but my first thoughts were of an earthquake; then I realized that It was a wreck. The crash was followed by a grinding, the moving of timbers and the wails closed la about me. timbers caught my legs and I gave up hope. I had no hope of rescue, and can not now recall the chain of incidents that flashed before me and the un hurt to struggle, began a fight for escape.

Children and women were trampled on, and ie weaker ones were beaten against the wreckage by their stronger fellows. The accident occurred within three blocks of the South Broadway car sheds, and the sound of the crash was heard by men at the sheds. They started out at once through the smoke, seeking the scene of the accident. Guards and employes at the workhouse hurried to the scene, guided only by the cries of the wounded. TWO CARS FORCED INTO ONE They lifted the injured out of the worst of the wreckage and placed them in the few seats that remained Intact in the front car.

This car was started for the sheds, as the front motor was Intact. The two cars were so tightly wedged, to- i gerher that the second car dragged along with the front one. Several of the worst Injured ones were taken out of the damaged car at the she-Is and transferred to another car, to be taken to the Alexian Brothers' Hospital, and to the private hospital of Dr. F. B.

Dresher at K9 South Broadway. Physicians were called at once to the car sheds to treat the injured who remained there. The two cars were complete wrecks for half the length of each. Every seat in the rear of the front car and the front of the rear one is torn from its fastenings and piled into an indistinguishable heap. Every window In both cars Is broken.

The rear trucks of the front car and the front trucks of the rear one are broken and forced under the center of the bodies of the two cars.
