of water which has been running of the
past few days, aud In addition gorge OF
ice was formed which previous TO the
arrival Of the rain carried away portion
of the bridge. Nothing was visible to
show that there was danger ahead
and the train plunged into the swollen
stream while running at full speed. The
engines and three coaches went into tho
creek and were Immediately submerged
in the torrent of water which oycrilowcd
its bank A scene of widest confusion
ensued, and those Of the train crew or
passengers who escaped death or injury
were Immediately called into service to
save the drowning or pinioned passen.
gers Ii was with great difficulty that
the cars could be reached owing to the
rushing OF the waters through them.
Those who were rescued from the smok'
ing car. which was almost entirely sub.
merged were taken out Of the windows,
some manned to such an extent that they
were powcrlcss TO help themselves, while
others, unhurt. were nearly drowned be.
fore aid could reach them. At this hour
t1l o'clOck) six dead bodies have been
taken from the wreck and three more are
underneath the debris, through which
the water Is madly rushing, and il
Is difficult To reach them. II Is also stated
that the engineer and fircmen were in
stantly killed or were caught in the cab
and drowned before aid could reach them,
but the confusion and excitement is such
that IL is difficult to ascertain the facts.
In addition to the passengers known to
be killed, from fifteen TO twenty have
been rescued that were more or less ser.
ously injured. A number IRE 80 danger.
