THREE SCORE ARE DEAD.

An Excursion Train In Switzerland PlunGes
Through u Bridgc-Sixty Lives Lost-A
Hundred or More Persons Injured.
BERLIN, June ia fearful accident
is reported from Switzerland. A rail
road bridge across the Moenichen, a
small affluent of the Rhine, at Stein, in
the canton of Basel, not far from Ger
many, gave way Sunday under the
weight of an excursion train, crowded
with throngs of people.
This long train was crowded
with people on the way to attend
a musical fete. Sixty persons We're
killed outright while hundreds were
injured. Two engines and tt.e first car
plunged into the river and all the pas
sengers in the car were drowned. Two
cars remained suspended from the
bridge. All the trainnmcn were killed.
Thirteen cars were saved. The musical
fete at Muenchenstein was abandoned
as soon Us the news of the accident ar
rived, and hundreds of villagers hur-
ried to the scene to assist in rescuing
the victims. The bridge was an iron
skeleton structure which was CON
sidered well built and substantial. The
only apparent reason for the collapse
of the bridge is that the train left the
rails and threw its entire weight on
one side of the bridge.
The gorge was about 80 feet deep
and the water was deep and swift.
The engines and car were en-
.tirely submerged and none of
hn %s,DSV
able to escape. The bodies of
these victims remained long
time in the water before being reached
but finally the car, which was badly
crushed and splintered, was torn apart
and the victims penned within released.
OF the remaining cars all were more
or less damaged, the forward one
being almost suspended over the tor
rent below, having been thrown off its
trucks and lying almost crosswise of
the track. All the others were de-
rallied and not a passenger escaped
without some injury. At least
hundred were badly hurt and
of these several, it is feared, will die
The dead and wounded were taken to
Stein. The calamity has stricken the
people with horror. Relief trains with
surgeons have been sent to the scene
of the accident.

Burned to Death in Their Home.
New York, June ia whole family

ing by fire which complete

a laborcr, aged IS years; Catherine
Brady, his wife, aged 40 years, and
Joseph Brady, their son, aged II years.
The fire started at half past o'clock
in the morning, when everybody in the
building was asleep. That many other
persons did not lose their lives is owing
entirely to the active work and heroic
conduct of the fremen.
