FEARFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Terrible Accident Near San FrancIHoo--A
Passenger Train Piunges Into nm Open
Draw Al Least Thirteen Persons
Drowned.
SAN Francisco, May 81-One OF the
most horrible railway accidents ever
known in California occurred at 1:40
yesterday afternoon when the Oakland
narrow gauge train connecting at Oak
land with the ferryboats from San
Francisco ran through an open draw
bridge Of the Antonio creek at Webster
Tho yacht Juapita had just passed
through the draw when the train APP
peared, going in the direction Of Alame-
da. The drawkeeper endeayored at
once TO close the bridge, but IL was too
late and the engine, with its tender and
first car, which was filled with passen-
gers, passed into the river, which was
there quite deep.
Engineer Sam Dunn and Fireman
O'Brien went down with tho engine.
The former when he saw that the bridge
did not close reversed the lever, but the
momentum Of the engine was too great
TO be stopped in time. The weight OF
the engine and the first car broke the
couplings and left the other two cars Of
the train standing on the track. The
second car ran about third OF the way
across the bridge and stopped, but the
jar was sufficient 90 break open the
front of the car and many OF the passen-
gers were thrown into the wator,
II being holiday the conductor
stated that probably twenty-five per-
sons had met their death. The top Of
the passenger coach was cut open as
soon as it was raised above the water
and the work of removing the bodies
commenced, ten being taken out in
quick succession.
Three women and three girls were
taken from the water alive and removed
to the receiving hospital. Another
young lady died soon after being taken
from the water.
The bodies of six men and two women
we're brought in after some of the bodies
had been left at the receiving hospital
where the injured were also taken In
a short time thirteen bodies lay on the
floor and on the marble slabs Of the
awaiting Identification. Many
scenes were witnessed as
the friends came forward TO claim their
dead. The list Of the identified is as
Martin Kelly, Oakland, assistant chief
wharflnger for the State; A. II. Austin,

NEW York June The leading
lights Of the Mormon Church are in
state of anxiety over the question Of
the admittanoe of thousand or more
converts who viii arrive here next
week. Elder George O. Cannon and
others had long conference with the
contract labor inspectors and assured
the officials that no Mormons whatever
were imported under contract All
came on purely religious grounds and
no effort was ever made by the
Church to have them come here
otherwise. After much talk it
was decided not 10 detain any,
but TO take full memoranda and
afterward. should investigation disclose
any contract case, the people could be
easily reached. This method was
adopted to save the expense of keeping
1000 people the length OF time neces-
sary for rigid examination. The elders
promised TO help in the examination
and withdrew with thanks.

The exercises began with parade Of
military and civic societies, the process
sion forming in the center Of the city
and moving 70 the cemetary, a distance
Of Ave miles The city was filled with
strangers, and thousands Of people
watched the parade. The decorations
were the finest ever seen here. The
procession moved at one o'clock GEN
erai james Barnet was chief marshal,
and General Edward s. Meyer was
adjutantgeneral.
The dag was perfect and not cloud
was seen in the sky. The procession,
which was a very long one, was viewed
by two Wild lines Of people extending
from Erie street to Lake View cemetery,
five miles. President Harrison, Gen
eral Sherman, ex-President Hayes, Vice
President Morton and General Sehoheld
were applauded very frequently. The
spectacle, barring Gar6eld's funeral pro-
oession, was the most imposing ever
seen in Cleveland.
A vast concourse Of people had pre-
ceded the procession to the cemetery,
and when the exercises began there
we're thousands congregated about the
great stand that had been erected and
on which we're seated the distinguished
guests. Ex-President Hayes, the presi-
dent OF the Memorial Association, pre-
sided, and after America" had been
sung by the memorial chorus, he spoke
briefly OF the monument and its history
and purpose. The divine blessing was in
yoked by Right Rev Bishop Leonard, and
eX-Goyernor Jacob d. Cox, Of Cincinnati,
delivered the Grafton Of the day In
the course OF his remarks he said:
ut is well that this memorial should
be built here in the capital city OF the
Western Reserve on the eastern side
where the branching roads lead TO all
the counties Of the old district that
Garfield served for nearly twenty years.
