Eye Witness, Statement,

Cornwall, Ont, Sept. S.-An eye wit ness of the fall of the New York and Ot- tawa railroad bridge says he was sitting on the bank of the river watching the workmen above him when without warning there came fearful crash. Two spans of the bridge collapsed, inn mense masses of timber and iron dropped and the agonizing shrieks of the men who were being crushed in the wreck were drowned by the rushing waters. Then he saw bodies coming to the sur face and the work of rescue began. This was helplessly inadequate, there be- ing only few boats i'll the vicinity and very few men who would undertake to swim out into the turbulent waters. Many who might have been saved were drowned before help could reach them. Piteous, appealing faces sank beneath the waters before the eyes of helpless on- lockers Mangled bodies came to the surface for moment and then passed out of sight. 1t was terrible and heart rending scene. Even those who were got to land alive were in such condition that many died on the way to the hos pital. Some had their backs broken, others both legs, while others were crushed by the heavy timbers.
 About 50 of the men employed on the span were Americans who came here to work for the Phoenix Bridge company The remainder were mostly Indians, who acted as assistants Every man o,s the division went down with the wreck.
 The killed are:
 W. J. Curry, Paterson, N. J. W. J. Jackson, Columbus, 0.

Sixty Workmen Are Thrown Into the River Some Sixty Feet Be-
 low and Meet Death.
BUT FEW BOATS WERE
 IN THAT VICINITY.
Very Few of the Men Wonld Un. dertake 10 Swim Out Into the Turbulent Waters 90 Save
 Those Drowning.

Hogansbuag, N. Y, Sept 8--About noon yesterday two south spans of the international bridge of the New York and Ottawa, now under construction across the St. Lawerence river about three miles from St. Regis, an Indian village, fell without warning with Go workmen, all being thrown into the river, some 60 feet below. Over 30 were picked up and taken to the Corn wall hospital and 27 are now missing The bridge consists of three spans, of which two wore completed ami the other nearly completed when the south pier gave way at its foundation, causing both spans to fall into the water taking its load of human freight with it.
 The names of the killed and drowned cannot at present be ascertained, as they were mostly from Pennsylvania.
 The bridge that gave way was being built across the St. Lawrence river at the foot of Long Saulte rapids, near Reihhart island. The immediate cause of the disaster seems to have been the washing away of one of the large piers.
 Late reports from Cornwall hospital say B men have been taken oat of the water and transferred to the hospital Eighteen of them have since died The latest information makes 1t probable that the death list will reach 30. AS far as can be learned S7 men were on the payroll, of whom S2 reported this morn ing for work. Of this list only s8 have actually been accounted for. All efforts to get list of the names of the work men and those missing have proved fu- { tile as yet
