On a New York City street, the collision of a express train and a streetcar kills a young boy and injures others
A young boy was killed and several other passengers seriously injured in a collision between a city train and a horse car omnibus on Third Avenue near the center of New York City. The Adams Express Company locomotive, on the Harlem & New Haven Railroad tracks, hit the street car at the junction of Third and Fourth Avenue near Fifth Street just before dark fell. The driver of the locomotive was arrested. (By John Osborne)
