DREADFUL DISASTER.
Collapse of a Bridge Ovor the Lick
ing River.
.Forty-five workmcn CARRIED Down with
out Warning Nearly All kiIIcd-Thc
Two Contractors Among the
Victims.

CINCINNATI, June 16.-A bridge in
course of construction over the Licking
river between Covington and Newport,
KY, fell this morning, and of forty-tive
workmcn on the structure, so far rs is
now known only two escaped unhurt.
The high river had washed out the
earth about the supports OF the false
work, and II Is said one Of the contract
ors said II day or two ago that he was
afraid the structure would not stand
under the weight OF the heavy material.
But still they kept ut work.
A force of forty-thrce men I'M
der the direction Of Robertand William
Baird, the contractors, was engaged In
putting in place the heavy iron work
on the main span. Suddenly, without
warning, there was n cracking sound,
IA swaying of the structure and n head
long plunge of the whole mass of tim
bers, iron and workmcn into the river
fifty feet below. Few forms were to
be seen struggling on the surface, the
others were drowned or crushed by the
material.
Those who came out of the wreck I'M
injured, as nearly as could be learned,
were as follows: Murray Rairdcn and
James Caldwell. Others went to their
homes and could not be traced.
While most Of the workmen were
from abroad, there were enough from
the vicinity TO make the scenes on shore
OF the most s~ickening character. Tear
full women were to be seen eagerly peer
ing into the countenanccs Of the recov-
cred bodies as they were borne To the
shore, and every now and then n pitiful
wall of anguish told that some friend
or relative had been recognized.
1t was slow work to get the bodies
from the wreck.
Among the dead were the two con-
tractors, the Baird brothers Of Pitts
burgh, who were on the bridge wit h
their men experimenting the work at
the fatal moment. Though it is said
, that one of them had spoken Of fear
concerning the safety of the supporter,
it appeared by their act yesterday in
going with their men that they had no
such fear rs would keep them from
sharing with their men the danger.
The body of one was among the first
cover n the other lies buried IN
, the river beneath the ruins of his own
/ work.
The span between the two piers looks
to he $50 feet. The height Of the truss
which was to form tls, bridge span be-
tween these two piers was sixty-fvc
feet above water. False work in piling
and timber had been constructed In the
river. On the top of this false work the
construction Of the iron truss began ex'
actly midway between the two piers
and the work vas pushed from the mid
die both ways. Five bents or sections
Of the ponderous iron work had beer
constructed. Each bent or section wa,
thirty feet long, making nearly hal
the span. On the top of this was an ap
paratus known to bridgemen as tn,
traveller, which is used to extend tn,
structure from the ends.
