OF eye witnesses there were none ex-

and then saw the greater part OF II go
into the river. Some OF the cars with
closed windows fioated and the tug.

and started TO the rescue.
A porter jumped from one OF the cars
that remained on the track and ran into
the yard of Augustus Kah's house near
where the accident occurred and stood
screaming for help and moaning that
the train was In the river and that the
passengers were drowned. Kah hastily
dressed himself and, getting boat,
fowed with the porter 10 the scene of the
accident. AS they turned a point in the
bank they came upon the express car
and the combination car floating about
20 feet from shore, but sinking every
minute. One man was taken from the
top of the car and efforts were made 10
rescue those inside who might be alive.
A few were gotten out, the passengers
left upon the track making a human
bridge TO the shore to take the wounded
over. The day coach and smoker had
gone down in the deeper water. and
rescue was impossible. In the latter
coach the conditions must have been
horrible. The car turned completely
over, and the passenger end of il was in
the deep water while the baggage end
stood up towards the surface. The men
In that lower end must have fought like
fiends for a brief period. for the bodies

The closing scene Of the first day of
this tragedy is drawn around a common
car that stands near the scene Of the

mutilated bodies, ncne OF them yet

General Manager Toucey gave the fol-
lowing statement as TO the cause or the
disaster: THE accident was caused by
the bed Of the railroad being washed out
in some inexplicable manner. In this
undermined condition the track sank
as soon as the weight Of the train was
put on IL, and the embankment, giving
way, the train was Of course precpi-
tated into the river. Such a condition
as this we have never looked for. Trains

years and years without accident or difil-
Guilty of any kind. and this piece of track
was considered as good as any section
OF the road Not only was the roadbed
the hardest kind of an embankment, but
ii was strengthened by a retaining water
wall of solid masonry three feet thick"
Other railroad officials were Of the
opinion that quicksand foundation Of
some kind below the water line was re-
sponsible for the sinking Of the roadbed.

10 go through the submerged sleeping
cars He reported that he found no
bodies. but said that one or more might

the derrick and hosting engine could
raise the combination car, consisting of
the smoker and baggage compartments,
to such n position that the top OF il
was out OF water. Slowly the big load
began TO rise. and in a few minutes il
had been turned over so that the win

body of man came out OF window as
this car was being brought to the shore.
A boat was near by, and the oarsmen
secured the body. A derrick next pulled
