1'rofeHHor O'Oara waB a paflHoiiKcr
an tho motor. Ho Bald: "Ab tho mo
tor camo Into tho station I noticed
that tho motor ovorran tho station
and I knew that something woh
wrong with tho brakcB of tho motor.
Tho motorman know It also.
"Going to tho junction wo wont at
a fast clip and thon I heard tho three
whistles of warning. Tho Jar camo.
Wo flow through tho air. Seats woro
Jorked from thoir fastenings and the
HoundB of breaking glass and tho
groans of tho Injured woro tho next
thlUKB I wan conncloiis of. Tho In
torlor of tho cur was a slaughter
pen. People- with blood Btrwimlng
from their faces and others lying
liuddled on tho floor and groaning.
"Everything in tho Interior wau
gone. Tho crowd had all bcon
thrown forward und tho door was
Jammed. '
"Imniodlatoly camo tho atncll of
smoko. Tho car was aflro.
"Tho floor Doomed to raise two
foot and fell back again. Thou n
flumo of flro Boomed to flash
through tho car. Tho whole intorlor
vViih booh filled with smoke, Every
thing waB Binashcd to hits,
"MrB. Crooey, with blood stream
lug down her face, waB holding hor
child out tho window. A man took
tho child. I hundod more children
out tho window.
"I hud In tended going Into tho
.front part of tho cur, hut decided to
go In tho rear Hoctlon. It wub tho
front purt where most of tho men
woro hurt badly."
"I believe tho wreck was duo to
criminal negllgenco. Tho motorman
know his brakes woro not runu'iiK
right and woro refusing to work.
Thon ho trovolod to tho Junction at a
high speed. It wuh criminal. Of
course tho balky brakes refused to
act, und tho accident resulted.."
II. C. Koldol, the Gold Hill In
ventor, who Bomo months ago blow
hliuHQlf up In tho attempt to Invent
a now mutch, wub In tho par, In the
uxploslon ho lost both arms, the
Htumpn of which woro badly bruised
In tho wreck of yeatorday. His aculp
wub also badly hurt.
Mrs. Gruggmun of Seattle was bad
ly bruised ami was carried to the
Pacific & Eastern track, whero a doe
tor administered restoratives to her.
She was I alum to tho homo of Mrs
William Pudge, with whom she Is
staying. Mrs. Iludgo and Mrs. Caroy
woro also Injured slightly.
W. L. McCluro of Gold II 111 wub
badly cut about tho head and was
removed to the Southern Oregon hos
pital. Tho sixth grado basoball tonm
woro on board, but on going In de
cided that they ought not go In tho
Binoklug compartment and Btood In
tho rear of tho train. Hut for this
decision, many of them would have
been seriously Injured. Hoy Carpen
ter alone was hurt. Ills hips were
badly bruised and Jammed. Ho will
recover In a few days.
When the boys woro crawling out
of the wreck thp first question they
asked were:
"Did you got my mitt? Did you
get tho bat? Oh gee, kids, my glovo
Ib insldo."
They wero determined to walk to
Central Point and nlay their name.
but dccldpd that afl their mothers
might bo alarmed about thoir safety,
knowing thoy wero aboard, thoy im
mediately went homo to notify their
parents that they wore not hurt.
Conductor Taylor of tho mtor said:
"Every one of the 50 people on board
owo their lives to Motorman Itlggs.
Tho boy waB nervy and cool and that
Is what saved the car from being
blown to atoms. After tho collision
bo crawled through tho debris, al
though tho flames wero burning his
hair and faco, and shut off tho gus-
ollno. If ho had not done so und
tho flro had got to tho tank, woll,
Ood knows, it would havo been a
slaughter. It was a bravo act.
"Not ulono this, but ho stayed with
tho lovorB and reversed the car,
knowing that a collision was certain
and that In all probability ho would
bo killed when tho smash camo.
A. 8. ItOBcnbatim Bald: "Tho brakes
woro In good order when tho motor
camo Into tho station. Tho motor
man ovorjudged his ability to stop
In tho required position and slightly
over-run tho station. One does that
frequently In an automobile. No, the
accident Ib ono of thoso unoxplalna
blo Incidents which uro a mystery to
railroad men. Why should the
brakes refuse to work at that tlmo
when Bomo fow months boforo thoy
woro In good working order?
"Tho motormnu deserved praise
for his bravery and It wub tin fault
of his, but tho breaking of his brakes,
that caused tho accident. The air
rofusod to work,"

almost act stories as well as tell

these is tho complicated ign used to

Hit." Followinir close on this the
Iigthning flash disappears and tho
words "J-Mdio Koy in tho Orchid"
flare up, only to as quickly disap
pear. After a brief interval the per
formance is repeated, and so on
through the lively time of the night
which is usually until nearly morn
ing. On a roll top adjoining this sign ;s
one proclaiming the merits of a bot
tled water, if bottled water can be
said to havo any merits. This takes
the form of a mountain nnd basin
outlined in red lights, from which
ii . . ..J
there rie n half dozen sprays of gol
den water in representation. They
sparkle with a dazzling effect such as
no water known to man could pro
duce tinilcss it might be fire wnter."
Across the street from this exhibit
of electrical lighting beauty, on the
side wall of another building, is the
advertisement of a certain brand of
gin, and if ever mortal man could bo
weak enough to be deluded into dal
lying with so suspicious n tipple as
gin this sign certainly is calculated
to lead him to the fateful dalliance
It consists of a gigantic siphon, out
lined in golden bulbs, from the spout
of which is continually spurting nn
othor golden stream, representing
water that falls into a ricky glass
of corresponding huge proportions,
und likcuKc outlined in electric
sparkling. Honest, in spite of him
self, it mnkes n fellow say, "Gee!
Let's go get one!"
These are but examples of the in
genious and bewildering signs that
"act" alone the Great White Way, :n
the domain of the piny houses, the big
hotels and the giddy lobster palaces.
They are undoubtedly a paying in
vestment, judging by the amount of
nttctinon they attract from the strol
lers on Broadway, and they are splen
did demonstrations of the possibili
ties of the illuminating branch of the
electrical industry, and of the artistic
genius of its engineers.
