A Frfghtful Calamity.

On the night of the 28th ult., portion Of
the iron bridge which spans the Firth
of Tay, Scotland, was blown down, and a
railway train bound from Edingburg to
Dundee plunged through the gap into the sea
below, distance of nearly one hun
dred feet. Not soul on board the train
escaped. and the story of the disaster must
forever remain mystery. Reports as to
the number of lives lost are conflicting, one
placing 1t as low as ninety persons, but
other dispatches positively assert that 3l5
lives were lost. The train consisted of four
third-class cars, one frst-class, one second
class, and brakeman's van.
The bridge was only opened for traffic in
May, 1873. 1t was considered triumph of
engineering skill. 1t was about two miles
long, and had SIS spans, the longest of which
was 245 feet. At the highest point it was
100 feet above high water.
Later-The official report OF the North
British railway, in regard to the terrible
calamity Sunday from the break in the Tay
bridge, says: "The falling Orders made a
very clean break from the portion standing,
Almost the only signs of smash are the ends
of the rails on which the trains ran, which
are torn asunder. The rails remaining are
wrenched out of their chairs for few yards. "
Several bodies and all the mail bags have
been recovered. On the 31st ult, after sew
eral unsuccessful attempts diver discover.
ed first class carriage of the wrecked
train, but as there were no first class passen.
gers, no bodies were discovered in the car

The Men who We're Not Hung

occasion" said the duke. "The troops
had taken to plundering good deal. 1t
was necessary to stop it; and | issued an
order announcing that the first man
caught in the act should be hanged upon
the spot. One day, just as we were sit
ting down to dinner, three men were
brought before the door of the tent by
the prev0t. The case against them was
clear, and | had said nothing for it but
to desire that they should be taken away
and hanged in some place where they
might be seen by the whole column in
its march next day. | had good
many guests with me on that occasion,
and among the rest, | think, Lord Nugent.
They seemed dreadfully shocked and
could not eat their dinner. | didn't like
it much myself, but, as | told them, |
had no time to indulge my feelings; |
must do my duty. Well, the dinner
went off rather gravely; and next morn
ing, sure enough, three men in uniform
were seen hanging from the branches of
tree, close to the high road. 1t was q
terrible example and produced the desired
effect; there was no more plunderlng;
when. some months afterward, | learned
that one of my staff took counsel with
DR.. Hume, and as three men had just
died in the hospital they hung them up,
and let the three culprits return to their
regiment" Weren't you very angry,
duke? "Well, suppose was at first,
but as I had no wish to take the poor
fellows lives, and only wanted an ex-
ample, and as the example had the de-
sired effect, my anger soon died out, and
l confess to you that l am very glad now
that the three lives were spared. "-LDe
