BRIDGE.-On last Wednesday afternoon,
when the Brooklyn Bridge on the end on
the New York side was crowded with per-
Sens, the scream of a woman caused a panic
and consequent crowding that resulted in a
crush of bodies and the loss of about f1f-
teen or more lives, and the wounding of
twice as many more. They were piled up
on each other five or six tiers in depth, and
those below were crushed and smothercd to
death-some with faces so disfgured and
bodies SO mangled as scarcely to be recog-
nizable. There is nothing more terrible
than panic in vast crowd of persons.

consuming their time in vile efforts to in
tiict upon their people petty vexations for
purposes only of revenge, hunting up ne
