It is known that the freight train
was backing up just as the street
car was nearing the end of the

car ran upon tracks, with the
train approachir ,. The rear end of
the train hit the front end of the car
and damaged it considerably. In the
mix-up, every window In the car was
broken and several of the passengers
sustained minor cuts by the flying
particles of glass. Other passengers
received bruises when the sudden col
lision threw them from their scats.
No one was seriously injured in the
mix-up, however.
Motorman Albert Macabee. of Mar
tins Ferry, and Conductor George
Haynes, of Caldwells Run, were in
control of the car at the time of the
accident. Haynes. who was on the
rear vestibule, escaped without any
injuries, while Macabee was cut
about the head and face by flying
glass. Haynes was able to resume
his run after the accident, but Maca
bee was taken to his home in Mar
tins Perry, where he was given med
ical attention. He is not seriously in
jured and will be able to operate hlB
car today, it was stated last night.
Much excitement was created when
the accident occured, as the car was

sengers scrambled for the doors.
Several received minor bruises in
this way.
The car was towed to the Island
