The BANGOR SNAsH-UP.-The Wing of Fri
day says the smashup reveals the fact shat tim.
bers in other parts of the bridge are badly de-
cayed.
Various conflicting stories are afloat con-
corning the bridge, but the matter is in COM
potent hands for investigation, and the evil
dence btfore the coroner's jury will doubtless
throw some light upon the matter.
During yesterday at least ten thousand per-
sons visited the spot, many coming long dis.
tances from adjoining towns to view the wreck.
Every one seemed anxious to obtain q memen-
to OF the accident, and mouldings. bits Of wood
and metal, scraps Of upholstery and other relics
Of the demolished train were carried away in
great numbers. Several photographers of Ban
gor obtained stereoscopic pictures of the scene
and many pencil sketches were made.
A wrecking train with over hundred men
from the Maine Central shops at Waterville
and Augusta, arrived early in the day and the
Pullman car was replaced on the track. The
other cars, being too far gone for repair, were
demolished to make room for the bridge build
ers, who have already commenced work on
timbers for new bridge. "'
The following are additional names of the
wounded 4..
D. w. Waite, Bangor, slightly bruised.
Arson Mason, Bangor, face and head yerv
badly cut and side bruised.
Irwin Kicker, Providence, r. l., right leg

he Bridge Rotten.

BANGOR, Aug. 1.-The Coroner's Inquest
continued their investigation OF the Railroad
disaster at the City Hall to-day. A number OF
witnesses were examined, among whom were
Superinte ndent Noyes, of the Maine central,
and Messrs. Wilder and COrser of the Ball
road Commissioners. The evidence all points
to the decayed state of the bridge as being
the cause of the disaster, but it does not APP
pear that the bridge was known to be rotten'
either to the officers of the road or the Rail-
road Commissioners; although Col. Wilder
testified to having inspected the bridge in
June, when he gave orders to have the bridge
strengthened, not from any particular appar-
ent weakness, but because of the great strain
to which it has been subjected by the heavier
trains which it has been carrying of late. The
investigation is being conducted in thorough
and searching manner, and tho jury is COM
posed of men Of standing and intelligence,
whose verdict will be accepted as an honest
one made up from facts which shall appear
from the evidence before them. The inquest
adjourned tonight till Wednesday next.
