FELL OVER FIFTY FEET.
Frightful Accident 10 Several Bridge
Builders fn Iowa.

kEoKUK, Iowa, Feb. 1.-The county bridge
across the Des Mones river at Pittsburgh, Iowa,
In Van Buren, county, was carried away by
high water last spring. For some time past
workmen have been engaged In raising the
spans that were swept away, and bridge COM
pany have been putting in new spans. Yesterday
a derrick rope broke, letting the derrick fall
against span in course of erection, and two
thirds of this gave way, falling ffty-two feet
upon the ice-bound stream below. Five men
were working upon the span at the time OF the
accident and were carried away with the wreck.
First reports received here stated that three
men had been killed outright and the other
two seriously injured, but later reports state
that John Jamison, OF Pittsburgh, is cut about
the head and injured beyond recovery. Edward
Booth, of keosauqua, was injured in the back
and cut in the head, and is seriously hurt. ii,
Ii. Gilman, foreman, had his shoulder disclo-
Gated and was badly cut about the head and
face. Both these men are seriously injured and
their recovery is considered doubtful. The fall
was frightful one and IL is a miracle that any
OF them escaped with their lives.

TIoN-AN Address TO THE PUBLIC.

STAUNToN, VA, Feb. "A disastrous COLI
sion occurred on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road here at one o'clock this morning. No. 3
night express ran into freight train on a sid
ing and completely wrecked both engines.
Cuttings, OF Richmond, fireman of No. 3, was
killed, his body being terribly scalded and
mutilated. q. w. Ettlnger, master machinist
of Richmond, had his right arm and leg badly
broken and received a bad scalp wound. Zege
Lowry, of Richmond, engineer of No. 3, had
his throat cut and his arm scalded. His condi-
ton is dangerous. Charles Smaller, OF Staun-
ton, the engineer of the freight train, had his
back badly sprained and his body bruised. The
only passenger hurt was DIR. Lafferty, of Rich
mond, who was standing in the sleeping car,
and was knocked down and bruised, but not
seriously. The accident was caused by crimi-
nal negligence. The freight train was on a side
track waiting the arrival Of the express. The
conductor told his brakeman-Samuel Vie
that when the express passed he should turn
the switch. Vie went to sleep and was aroused
by a passing freight train. He got up and
changed the switch just as the express came in
sight and, before the fatal error was discovered,
the train dashed on to the siding and the en-
gines locked, the two boilers being damned to-
gether.
