Victoria, Il. c.. May 27.-A defective
span in the Government street traffic
bridge across Victoria Arm, gave way
Tuesday afternoon, precipitating a
loaded street car and several private car
riages into the bay, 100 feet below. The
number of victims cannot at this time
be estimated. The bridge was crowded
with vehicles containing pleasure-seek-
ers bound for MacCauley's Point, where
the queens birthday celebration sports
were in progress.
Up TO 1880 p. IN. CO bodies had been
taken from the bay. Twenty persons
known TO have been on the bridge at
the time of the accident are missing,
and IL is supposed that they hive per-
ished. The car register shows 90 fares,
and il is probable that over 125 were
on board.
The sham fight and naval review were
TO take place at MacCauley's Point, near
Esquimalt, Tuesday evening, and crowds
were making their way there by every
route. All the tram cars were packed
with visitors. At two p. m. large and
heavily-laden car left Government
street having upwards of 100 people on
board.
When the middle span OF the traffic
bridge, about $50 feet in length. was
reached, IL collapsed, throwing the car
and a number OF carriages and foot pas
sengers into the water. 100 feet beneath.
The car was completely submerged
and all save few who were on the plat
forms and roof were drowned. A num-
Der were killed by falling timbers and a
few escaped by clinging TO the floating
ruins of the bridge.
The number OF carriages lost and the
foot passengers carried down i'm the
wreck cannot be learned. II is claimed
by many that fully 200 persons went
down with the span, and that more than
half OF them persisted. The accident
occurred so quickly that nobody has
very clear recollection of what trans
pired.
A number of bodies have been car
ried out of the harbor by the outgoing
tide, which runs at not less than seven
knots an hour at the point where the
accident occurred. The sad affair has
cast n deep gloom over the city. The
naval review and sham battle were can.
celled, as were all other sports planned
for the afternoon. Thousands Of sor-
rowing friends and relatives are crowd.
cd around the approaches OF the bridge
eagerly scanning each body as IL is
brought 10 land. Many heartrending
scenes are enacted as the work of rescue
progresses. II will probably be several
days before the full extent OF the dis
aster can be correctly estimated.

engaged in improving their highways,
this year the number has increased 10
