sides being filed with water from thirty
to fifty feet deep. The catastrophe was
hastened by the breaking of sewer,
which sent current along the bank

small building near by, went down. The
crowd rushed ON to the platform OF the
depot TO see what was the matter, when

pressed at the same time and the cars
standing close by ran into the depres
sion, covering the people who had
gone down with the falling structure.

escaped. The work OF recovering the

sewer in Mclean avenue caused the de-
pot to sink.
