RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Additional Particulars Concerning the
Bridge Disaster at Brainard,
MInRCsOta.

ST. PAUL, July 2S.-People from the
scene of the raiIroad-bridge disaster at
Brainard furnish particulars of interest.
AS the train was crossing the bridge the
engineer heard 1t cracking and put on
steam to escape, but it proved too late to
save his life. The central span OF the
bridge broke down under the weight of
the cars, loaded with iron, and both
ends OF the train were drawn into the
wreck, the engine and several cars be-
ing drawn backward, and the remainder
of the train forward. The central and
western spans of the bridge went down,
the engine and two cars that were pulled
backward falling on the western shore,
and the remainder into the river. The
crash made by the wreck was heard at
the distance of three-fourths OF a mile.
The river at this point is about three
hundred feet wide, and the water is
from six to eight feet deep. There ap-
pears to have been but one brakeman on
The train, and luckily he was behind the
cars loaded with iron. AS he saw the
train going down he ran for his life
across the top of the freight-cars, but
finding he could not reach the end OF
OF the train in time, jumped off on that
portion OF the bridge which remained
standing, and was unhurt. The wreck
is reported as frightful to behold. With
the exception of the engine and two CARS
on the west bank, the entire train, num-
bering tWenty-One cars, including the
caboose, is piled in heap in the river.
The cars are emphatically smashed in
to kindling- wood. All agree that the
bridge absolutely broke down beneath
the weight of the train, and that no cars
left the track until the break occurred.
The names sent yesterday include all
persons fatally injured. The few who
were wounded are doing well and WHY
recover.

without rendering any service what
ever. This wear the contract was
awarded to Draper at twenty-seven thou
sand three hundred dollars per annum,
service to begin July lst. This man,
who is unknown on the Mississippi,
owned 40 boats, and it was perfectly
well understood in the postoffice depart
ment that he was a straw-bidder. AT
the time of the lettings, the frauds on
all these routes had been fully exposed ID
the Sun, and the postmaster general
had been warned Of the game which
was to be played, and likewise informed
how to thwart it. But Diapers bid was
accepted, he failed, as he was eX-
pected to do, and Peterson, or some
other Of the ring, stood ready to contract
for temporary service, leaving Cannon,
Leathers d Co. to do the work as usual.
But lust here a difficulty arose. Ihese
gentlemen object to being made the tools
of the ring any longer, and they refused
to TRANSPORT the mails for any middle
man, The result of all this has been a
suspension of mail facilities on the Mis-
sissippi, causing great Inconvenience
and loss TO thousands Of people. cap
tain LeatheTs, of the steamer Natchez,
has published card in the New Orleans
newspapers, in which he explains that

Cannon and himself, commanders o.
three Of the fiuest steamers on the Mis-
sissippi, sent in to the postoftice depart.
ment bids for service, accompanied
with good security, which still re-
main subject 70 the acceptance OF the
acknowledgements; but that they will
not cor sant to place themselves at the
service of government GO 5etweens,"
especially ss there is not even certain
ty OF being paid by them. And now, in
the midst of the confusion and discon'
tent caused by completely with straw
bidders on one Of the most important
mail routes in the south, Jewell is COM
plaCently having his praises trampeted
over the country, because he has conhs'
Gated to the use of the government the
paltry sixteen hundred dollars deposited
by the straw contractor as forfeit.
Really, this is too absurd. Mr.. Jewell
would like to be considered refOrmer,
and we have no doubt he would
like to be one if he could accom-
plish it without treading on anybody's
toes. Indeed, he has gone so far in fussy
attempts in that direction as to induce
Boss Shepherd to characterize him as
" that little bob-tail clam Yankee over
here in the postoffice," which is some.
thing in Mr.. JEWELS favor. But the
great ring contractors and his own sub.
0rdinates who are in the ring interest,
twist and mould him as they would q
piece of putty, and continue to run the
department in the old grooves, while its
ostensible head is dreaming Of being
elected President in return for his hercu'
lean exertions to extirpate corruption
from the postal service.
