accident, involving fearful loss Of
life, occurred here this afternoon
while the rite of baptism was being
administered to asnnmber q of recent
converts to the Baptist Churches
here, at point on Rock River just
below the trestle iron bridge. About
two hundred persons. including
many ladies aud number of chill
dreD, had gathered on the bridge to
witness the ceremony, when sudden
~ the bridge gave way and rrcci-
piiated it's living freight into the
stream below. The scene which ell
sued was indesciibab!y terrible, as
the struggling victims enGeaYored TO
free themselves from the ruins Of the
bridge and from each other. Large
crowds on the banks rushed wildly
to and fro. nauy OF them so distract
ed with terror as to be unable to rem
der any assistance; others. more self
possessed. speedily brought ropes,
planks and boats, aud went nobly to
work. Some OF those who were on the
bridge when it fell were 40 near the
end that they were able to reach the
bank without assistance, while
others were fortunately within reach
of those on shore. Up to P. M.,
thirty-two bodies had been taken in.

still under the wreck OF the bridge.
Seventy-four were rescued alive, but
more or less injured. some fatally.

the number lost is from ninety to
one hundred. it was stated in pre-
vious dispatches that thirty-two
bodies were recovered before dark
Five other bodies foated past those
engaged at the wreck, aud have not
yet been recovered. There are sup
posed to be at last fifty bodies that
have not yet been found. Most of
them, it is thought, are under the
wreck of the bridge. =
