THE STORY or THE ACCIDENT
When the HERALD correspondent arrived at the
scene of the accident crowd Of iders gathered
workmen busy repairing the track. One
car stood ON the bridge, having passed clear OF the
draw two lay their sides in the water; next came
tho smoking lying side in the dit ch and the
partly telescopcd and one end lying the track,
while the other buried In the ditch. The passen.
gers had all been removed to Long Branch and the
neighboring farm houses Tho drawbridge was shut
and the latch bol,ed leaving the lever an angle OF
forty five degrees. 1t appears however. from the
statement Of the bridge keeper that after tho train
passed the bridge open aud the lever upright
showing that the bolt had been drawn back. He also
stated that the end Of the track the draw open
about TWO inches. The following diagrams will explain
tho position of the drawbrdgo before and after the
accident
