DIXON, May 4-Midnight-Up to this
hour no other bodies Of victims Of the
bridge disaster have been recovered at
this port, but several are reported to have
been picked up at Sterling, six miles be
low. and doubtless the swift current has
borne others even farther down the river.
The general estimate oI tho number lost
Is from ninety to one hundred. As stated
In previous dispatches, thirty.two bodies
were recovered from the wreck before
dark, 1--WE other bodies floating down
past those engaged at the wreck
and have not yet been recovered.
There are therefore suppose to be
at least fifty bodies unfound. Most OF
them it Is thought are under the wreck Of
the bridge. Tho bridge was of iron, OF
the Truesdell pattern, and had five Spahs
elevated about twenty feet above the wat
or, which at this point Is from fifteen to
twenty feet deep. Only two spans-the
end spans-fsll, the three middle spans
still standing, but in such condition It Ia
thought they will fall when the wreck Of
the end spans is cleared away. Work.
men are buSily engage 0-night putting in
place derricks with which 70 raise the
fallen spans, and arc making arrange
menls TO secure the bodies beneath. 1t %
now stated that there were nearly 500
people on tho bridge at the time Of the
accident, and more succeeded In escaping
than was at frat feared. At the time ol
the accident the most Of the people were
gathered at either end Of the structure,
though large number were near the cen.
ire. Some Of the latter remained where
they were when the crash came, and were
afterwards taken of by boats. Several
men jumped from their precariouI rest
ing place into the river and swan 10 tho
shore. Two horSsS and buggies were
standing on the middle spans and are
still there, there being no way TO take
them of. There were number Of re-
markable escapes OF children, Of whom,
there were probably not leSs than ftIy on
tho bridge when 1t went down. One
fellow about 10 years old was. caught by
both feet in the iron rigging. Of o fallen
span, and had one OF his legs broken. BE
managed by sheer strength to pull one

process. Then coolly taking out his
