hundred or more were on a rustic foot

and extending from bluff across the lake.
The jumper made the descent. striking the
water near the shore. and the people on the
bridge made a rush for the place. Nearly
all of them were massed on thirty five-fooG
span adjoining the bluff. The structure
fell with a crash, going down in the mid
die. The foot paths under the bridge were
crowded with people. and upon these the
timbers fell, while those on the bridge were
thrown in heap in the center of the span
where it struck the ground. At least
twenty five persons were injured more or

SEVEN LIVES ARE LOST,
A KENTUCKY VILLAGE OVER
WHELMED BY WATERS.

A CIoud-Burst Causes an Awful Deluge,
Carrying Away Buildings and Destroy
ing Property-Seven Lives Lost in a Re-
suIting Wreck.
Mayville (Ky.) dispatch: At Bull
black clouds met and burst The
creek jumped over. and it swept like
driftwood several dwelling houses and
their frightened occupants. The stone
culvert on the Chesapeake e Ohio rail-
road over Bull creek was washed out
into the river and about 10 o'clock last
night, while the storm was at it's height.
the west bound freight-train ran into
the washout, causing a fearful wreck.
The engine and nine cars were piled one
on top of another almost in the creek
bottom. The following were buried in
the wreck:
ENGINEER G. G. RoADCAP of Greenup
county.
FIREMAN MORRIS HoNAKER of Lewis
county
BRAKEMAN CHARLES EATON.
The train was the first section of
freight No. 33, drawn by engine No.
1874, which is one of the largest as we'll
as finest engines on the road. The en-
CINE is now out of sight in quicksand.
The train was running over thirty miles
per hour. A little later an east-bound
mixed passenger train would have
passed over the fatal culvert, when the
loss Of life would have been appalling.
1t seems incredible that so many cars
could be iammed into so small hole as
there is at this culvert.
James Irwin had a portable saw-mill
located several hundred yards up Bull
creek, above the railroad. The clouds
suddenly bursting caused rapid rise in
the creek, already badly swollen by the
storm. Farmers say the creek rose two
feet per minute, and the water looked
like wall twenty-five feet high
when it got to the railroad The
saw-mill was lifted from it's fastenings
and with over hundred big logs
hurled violently against the railroad
stone culyert. This is what probably
caused it to give way. Huge stones
weighing several tons were carried by
the creek long distances. The creek
rose two feet higher than it had been in
forty years. The fury of the storm
caused many persons on Bull creek to
abandon their homes and take to the
hills, else the loss of life would have
been greater.

Speculation has been neither large in
