up for distance. The engine and four cars
ran humping the ties Of the bridge. being
prevented from topping into the river by the
stringpiece. The last was thrown across the
westbound track.
The passengers greatly frightened. ana
women and children screamed. while men held on
TO their seats expecting every moment that the
train would be hurled into the river below. When
the train came TO stop, the cars were tilted ana
the male passengers prevented the women from
alighting the ties of the bridge while the train
hands passed through the cars assuring the pas
Sengers that the danger was over.
A passenger train took the people back 10 Newark
and word was sent to Jersey City for wrecking
the rails Passengers from Jersey City were for
warded 10 Newark by way OF Elizabeth.
