Hoganstown, n. Y. Sept. Two
spans Of a new bridge being built
over the river a few miles north OF
here fell Tuesday carrying with them
60 workmen into the turbulent river
below. 1t is feared that at least 80
were killed, either by falling timbers
or by being drowned.
The bridge consists of three spa0s
of which two We're completed and a
third nearly completed when the south
pier gave way at its foundation, caus-
ing both spans 10 fall taking their
load of human freight with them.
The names of the killed and drowned
cannot be ascertained at present. They
are mostly from Pennsylvania, eX-
cepting a few Indians from the st.
Regis reservation.
The immediate cause of the disas-
ter and the giving away of the span
of the bridge seems to have been
due to a washing away of one of
the large piers. The water
at this point is known
to be as swift as
IL. any part of the river. The pier in
question was begun last fall and fin
ished this summer. 1t had been ac-
cepted as perfectly reliable and safe.
II would seem from this that the
swiftness of the current was under
estimated. Late reports from Corn
wall hospital say that '23 men were
taken out of the river and transferred
to the hospital. Eighteen of them
have since died.
An eyewitness of the fall of the
bridge says that he was sitting on the
bank of the river watching the work
men above him when without warning
there came fearful crash. Two
spans of the bridge collapsed, and the
immense mass of timber and iron
dropped, the agonizing shrieks of the
men who were being crushed in the
wreck being drowned by the rushing
waters. Then he saw the bodies COM
ing to the surface and the work of
rescue began. This was helplessly in
adequate, there being only few
boats in the vicinity and men who
would undertake to swim out into the
turbulent waters. Even those who
got to land alive were in such CON
dition that many died on the way TO
the hospital Some had backs broken
some both legs, while others were
crushed by sections.
Among those known to be missing
are Cyril Campbell William jack
son. w. Cubby, Foreman Thomas
Brad and a man named Craig. AS
far as can be learned 50 reported for
work Tuesday morning, or this list
only SO are accounted for.

FOURTH NOT TO GO SOUTH,
Orders Suspending the Movement to
Alabama Isued.

Chicago, Sept Maj. Smith of
Chicago, chief commissary of the de
partment Of the lakes, t, S. A., has
received orders from Washington to
the effect that the fourth regiment at
Camp Doug as will no. be sent south
at presen,. The order TO muster
1t out of the service has been re-
voked. the major states. and the sup
position is that it will remain at
Camp Douglas for the present.
The orders for the fourth have been
full of ups and downs. When the
war was first declared over the orders
were that the regiment was to be
mustered out and seat home. Then
the agitation to have the second sent
home from Porto Rico was started
and the fourth was ordered to Annis-
ton, Ala. Now comes the revoking
of that order with the assumption
that the regiment will be held In
service at Camp Douglas for the pres
ent at least, and perhaps until mus
tered out.
