Terrible Accident in California

One of the most horrible railroad
accidents ever known in California
occurred on the afternoon of Decor
alton Day, May Both, when local
train connecting Oakland with the
ferry boats from San Francisco went
through the open draw bridge over
San Antonio creek at Webster street,
Oakland. The draw had been opened
to allow a yacht to pass through,
and the draw bridge keeper was en-
deayoring to close the bridge when
the train appeared, going in the di-
rection of Alameda. The keeper
says he had the danger signal dis
played properly, but as the trains
approach the bridge around curve,
it is possible that the engineer did
not see the flag. At all events the
train kept on, and. when Engineer
Dunn saw that the draw did not
close, and reversed the lever, it was
too late as the momentum of the
engine was too great to be stopped
in time, and the engine, with the
first car, which was filled with pas
sengers, plunged into the estuary.
The engineer and fireman went
down with the engine, and it was sup
posed at first that they were drown
ed, but they both escaped, and re-
ported themselves to vice president
Towne on Saturday. The weight
of the engine and car that fell broke
the couplings and left the other
cars of the train on the track. The
second car ran about third Of the
way across the bridge and stopped,
but the jar was sufficient to break
open the front of the car and many
of the passengers were thrown into
the water. The car which had fallen
to the bottom of the muddy estu-
airy soon rose and some of the pas
sengers freed themselves from it
and were picked up by yacts and
small boats which soon gathered
at the scene.
The train men and uninjured pas
sengers worked MOLLY to rescue the
more unfortunate, and soon the
wrecking train arrived and the car
was drawn into shallow water, while
small boats began to drag the creek
for bodies. The top of the coach
vas cut open as soon as it was
'aised above the water, and the
work of removing the bodies began.
i thirteen were taken out in quick
succession, and though the most
borough search has been made no
more has been found. There were
hirty or forty persons in the coach
When it went down, and besides the
thirteen who were drowned, num-
'er were seriously injured, some no
[oubt fatally. The bodies were
AIKEN to the morgue and laid out
0 await identification, and heart
scenes were witnessed as
riends came forward to claim their
cad. The experience of the pas
engers in the first coach, as related
y those who fortunately escaped,
we're horrifying in the extreme.
The widest rumors of the extent
f the loss of life were circulated,
nd people rushed over from San
francisco by the hundreds in the
reatest excitement. The news was
AIKEN to Mountain View Cemetery,
we're several hundred Oakland peo-
lie were decorating graves, when
earful panic seized them and they
ushed into town in great confusion.

Al LATE dispatch from San Fran

surfing the railroad for carelessness.
