The worst accident ever known on the in- clined plane railways of Cincinnati, Ohio, has happenad on the Mount Auburn inclined plais, at the head of Main street, and which reaches to a height of between 250 and 300 feet in a space of perhaps 2000 feet or less, The accident resulted in the death of six per- sons and the injury of two others, Two cars are employed, one on each track. They are drawn by two steel wire cables that are wound upon a drum at the top of a hill | Nine passengers | had entered the car at the foot of the plane | and a number were on the other car at the |! by an engine located there, of the it horror top. The passage was all right until the top, when to his ascending car had reached the enginser found that the machinery would not respond | Only | and that he could not stop the engine, one result was possible, The car was ar- rested by the strong bumper that stops its rogress, and as the engine continued all its orce was expended on the two cables and they snapped like wrapping thread under its enormous power, Then the car with its niine inmates locked within began the de scent of the slope. The crash at the foot of the plane was terrific. A cloud of dust arose that hid the wreck from view for a moment, but when it was dispelled the scene was pitiful. The iron gate that formed the lower end of the truck on which the car rested was thrown sixty feet down the street The top of the car was Iving almost as far in the gutter, The truck itself and the floor and seats of the car formed a shapeless wreck, mingled with the bleeding and mangled bodies of the nine passengers Two were taken out dead. one a middle aged woman with gray hair, was recognized as Mrs. Ives: the other, a young girl of twenty, was Miss Lillian Oskamp. Another N. Kneis, a teacher, died soon afterward. Five others were injured, three fatally, and one man escaped miraculously with a ht injury. One of the injured was WwW. M, Dick. son. He was too old to survive the shock. and died in a few minutes He wasa well known attorney, retired for a number of years.
