On Sunday morning last and since that
time a heavy force Of mechanics and
laborers have been employed ~ erecting
trestle work FOR temporary use during
the rebuilding Of the bridge. About
one hundred Of these men dined at
Mortified Honse at II 80 P. m, yester-
day, and Immediately after proceeded
by train consisting of IN engine and
one passenger car TO the bridge, a mile
and half distant, up heavy grade,
the chr being moved backward.
BY some ineonceiyable forgetfulness
or unacountable halucination the engin-
eer, Frank Abbott, proceeded at m I'M
usual rate of speed, some setting IT as
high as thirty miles an honr. Tie was
reminded Of his strange mistake by his
fireman, but not until to late to avert
the terrible consequences, for the car
with its freight OF some ninety men was
percipitated from the abutment OF the
bridge into a rayine below, distance
Of sixty feet The tender broke from
the engine and instantly followed The
scene after the disaster can be better
imagined than described. Fifteen dend
men, with more than as many others
suffering from wounds more or less Sc
we're, lay in one heap, seven of whom
were under the tender, and Of those
who escaped some were saved by leap
from the car windows after they had
perceived Their danger. The number
of casualties is appalling and embraces
fifteen killed and twenty-five injured,
three of whom have since died The
casualties consist Of broken arms, legs,
and hands, dislocations, cuts, burns and
!, bruises. Many of both killed and
wounded were Canadian French and
but little known.
Another account says: "When the

J late in checking speed enough to save
