FATAL BRIDGE COLLAPSE.

4 Dozen Youthfol Msrrymshsrs Plunged
Into Creek-Ail Injured.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. ga party of
3 dozen young people, who left Ensley
City Saturday night for hay ride, had
their merriment transformed Into death
and disaster before they had proceeded q
mile on their journey.
Ten days ago q new bridge was COM
pleted across Village creek near Ensley
City. While crossing this structure 10
gave way, precipitating the wagon and its
load of human freight fifteen feet below
into the water Not person In the ve-
hicle escaped uninjured.
William Shannon, aged 20, was hurt
about the head, which caused conclusion
of the brain, from which he died yester.
day. Miss Maggie Hartigan was serl.
ously injured about the head and back
sprained. 1t is feared she will die. Charlie
Barns had his scalp cut open for two
inches and received internal injuries which
may result seriously.
The other injured were; G. L. Shannon,
head badly cut; G. G. Campbell, horribly
bruised about face and body; Ed Black.
burn, arm broken; Sam Brown, leg and
head cut Miss Emma Jones, cut and
bruised in head and shoulders; Miss Lula
Williams, bruised Miss Annie Williams,
face badly cut; Miss Nellie Blackburn,
bruised; Eph Bowie, colored driver, back
sprained.
The cause Of the accident was that the
stringers of the bridge were too short and
by constant jarring they gradually worked
off the stills. The jar of the wagon caused
them to fall, letting the entire span down.
The water in the creek was six feet deep,
so that but for the timely work of those
least injured the young ladies and those
most seriously hurt would have drowned.
