DISASTER AT DUNDEE.
A Train Falls Through Bridge
over the Tay--Effect of Des-
tructiye StOrm--TwO Hun
dred Lives Believed to be
Lost.

LONDON, December, ga portion
of the bridge across the Firth OF Tay
was blown down while train from Ed.
inburgh TO Dundee was crossing. at
fourteen minutes past seven O'Clock last
night The gale was so strong that
steamboats, we're unable to reach the
scene of the disaster, but several mail
bags have been washed ashore four
miles from the bridge. and there is no
doubt that the train is in the water. The
passengers, who are certainly all drown
ed, are variously estimated at from
$50 to 200 in number. The gale having
moderated somewhat, the Provost OF
Dundee and number of leading citi-
zens started in a stesmer to the scene OF
the disaster but have mt yet returned
The excitement at Taybredy station is
appalling. Many thousands of people
are congregated awaiting definite intelli-
gence from the accident. The missing
Dundee train was seen crossing the
bridge, then suddenly flash of fire be
came visible. The roilway officials, in
spite of the gale, walked along the
bridge from Dundee until they found
there was large gap caused by the fall
Of two or three of the largest spans.
Another despatch says that the train
was bound for Dundee and bad arrived
safely at the south end OF the bridge
crossing the Firth of Tay shortly after
seven. The bridge was intact at the
time, for signals we're given to allow her
to cross. The wires were interrupted a
few minutes thereafter, and no further
communication could be obtained.
