END OF THE SEARCH
TWO MORE BODIES FOUND IN THE
RIVER At CLEVELAND.
Seventeen People Killed or Drowned
as Result Of the street Cars
Plunge Through the Bridge.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. ls--The life saw
ing and fireboat crews resumed work early
this morning in the endeavor to recover ad-
ditional bodies of the victims OF Saturday
nights terrible street-car disaster at the
drawbridge OF the Central viaduct. Shortly
after 10 o'clock the body of a woman was
brought to the surface of the river, and
was later identified as that of Miss Martha
Sauernheimer. She was a sister-in-law OF
Mrs. John A. Saurenheimer, whose body was
recovered Saturday night. The body of the
seventeenth and probably the last victim
was recovered this afternoon. 1t was that
OF Matthew Callinan, and it was buried in
the mud directly where the trucks of the
motor had been. Callnan had been included
among the missing from the first, and it
was certain that he was dead. The search
for bodies has now been abandoned.
The recital of his experience by Patrick
Looney, the sole survivor of the accident,
leads to the belief that ali the victims were
unconscious when thev struck the water

1t was definitely settled to-day that one of
the safe guards provided by the street-rail-
way company at the drawbridge to prevent
accidents has been out OF order for three
weeks. 1t was a device of levers, so ar
ranged that when the safety gates at the
approaches to the draw were closed the cur
rent would be shut OFF for distance of FIVE
hundred feet on each side OF the river. The
wires remained dead until the drawbridge
was closed and the gates were swung back
to the sides Of the roadway. With the cut
on in working order motorman could not
run his car to the river, and the absence of
power would be an infallible warning OF
danger Why the cutoff was allowed TO re-
main out of order is unexplained by the
street-car company.
Rogers, the motorman. who Jumped from
the car and thus saved his life, was bound
over without bail in Police Court this MORN
ing for two weeks, during which time a
thorough investigation will be made into the
affair. The coroner's inquest will begin to-
morrow morning.
Tonight II develops that c. A. Ferguson.

wrecked street-car as 1t was plunging into
the open draw, has not been seen since
One OF the other men who escaped from the
car says that Ferguson exclaimed. "My
wife is in the car" and that he wrung his
hands and wept for some time Ferguson
was a contractor, living at Parma near the
city, and the fact that he has mot been
seen since leads to the belief that his wife
was in the car, and that he may have COM
mitted suicide. How much there is in the
story will not be known tonight.
