STREET CAR WENT OVER EMBANKMENT IN CINCINNATTI[sic], ONE KILLED, MANY INJURED.

Cincinnati, Oct. 16. -- One man was killed, six persons were dangerously injured and probably 25 others slightly hurt today when an Elborn avenue car went over a 25-foot embankment, at Mount Hope, in the western end of the city. The man killed was HARRY BAUSCH, an attorney.
The Elborn avenue lines start at the southern section of Price Hill, having a steep grade around Mount Hope. As the car was coming down this grade the motorman lost control of the car, which jumped the track soon afterwards, apparently striking a bad rail, going clear across the street and over the bank. It landed upside down and the heavy trucks crashed through the car, a number of those most seriously hurt being caught in the car. The car was crowded and only three or four jumped before the accident.
The pollice, under orders from the mayor and prosecuting attorney, took charge of the wreck, preventing its removal until photographs could be taken and data secured showing the cause of the accident.
The seriously injured are:
MISS BESSIE POWELL, hip broken and internally injured.
CASPER VOGHT, internally injured.
MISS HELEN HALL, internally injured.
MISS LILY J. HUST, leg and arm hurt and internal injuries.
CHAS. LOCKHARD, salesman, legs crushed and internal injuries.
BENJAMIN EISENSTEIN, painter, shoulder and leg injured.
MISS EVELYN McCOAL, leg hurt.
MISS MARY CROW, bruised and cut.
