could reach them. Piteously appealing
faces sank beneath the waters before
the eyes of helpless onlookers. Broken
bodies came to the surface for a moment
and then passed out of sight perhaps
forever 1t was a 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 irons.
The town is in a terrible state of ex-
citement owing to the number of local
men employed on the work. Women
are looking for husbands; mothers after
sons and friends after friends. About 40
of the men We're Americans who came
here to work for the Phoenix Bridge
company. The remainder were mostly
Indians, who acted as assistants. Every
man on the division went down with the
wreck Many of those who escaped
climbed up the iron work which still
rested on piers at either end
The latest information concerning the
tragedy makes it probable that the death
list will reach fully So As far as can be
learned. 81 men were on the payroll Of
whom 50 reported for work yesterday
morning. OF this list only 3S have actual
ly been accounted for. Allowing that
some of those unaccounted for will turn
up after the excitement, the probable
list OF dead and injured will in all likeli-
hood reach over %, and it may reach 30
Among those thrown into the river was
the foreman, Thomas f. Brady or Bricer-
~ whose home is in Pottsvile Pa. He
has not been accounted for up to late
hour, and is supposed to be in the bot
tom of the river.
All efforts to get a list of the names
OF the workmen and those missing
proved futile. Everything was in a state
of great excitement all the afternoon.
and the effort of all was to care for the
injured ones and get them to Cornwall
hospital as fast as possible.

No Time To Seek Place Of safety
and Few Rescuers at Hand.

Cornwall, Ont, Sept. IA most ap-
palling disaster occurred near here yes
terday and its results will probably
make death list of 40 to so. The great
railroad bridge, now being erected across
the st. Lawrence for the New York and
Ottawa railroad, gave away about noon
sending upwards of 60 workmen WIN
the debris into the mighty, rushing river
60 feet below That a single man sur
wives is almost marvellous. Thirty
three of the victims were brought TO the
hospital here and Is died. 1t is believed
that over 20 remain in the river, ana IL
is expected that the roll Will not DE COM
pleted for many days.
A witness of the terrible affair was
sitting on the bank of the river watching
the busy workmen above him, When
suddenly, without warning, there came
a fearful crash, and two spans OF the
bridge collapsed; the immense mass OF
timbers and iron dropped down ana the
agonizing shrieks of the men who were
being crushed in the wreck We're
drowned by the rushing waters. Ther
he saw floating bodies coming to the
surface.
The work of rescue was helplessly IN
adequate, there being only few boats
in the vicinity, and very few men VINO
would undertake to swim out into the
turbulent waters. Many who might have
been saved were drowned before hell

The funeral services Of little Park Ware
occurred last Sunday afternoon al o'clock
at the home of his parents and grandpar-
ents. 1t was largely attended, rotWlth-
standing the extreme heat. Rev. Mr..
Smith, who officiated, made mention OF
the fact, that when Parks father left Brat
tlebOro TO go to the war, upon returning 10
their home Park perceived that his mother
showed outward signs Of grief at her recent
separation from her husband. Little Park
looked up into her face and in a manly way
said: Don't feel bad, mamma, | will
take care of YOU" And from that time
no youth of four years could have been
more attentive and thoughtful for his moth
er's welfare; as he would often deny him
self of play TO devote his time to the new
responsibility of "taking care OF mamma"
He can never know the large vacancy he
has left in the family. The services were
tender, though necessarily brief. Under
the casket were placed some of the play
things, which had been used by the little
sleeper. Many flowers added their beauty
and fragrance. Alter the services picture
was taken of the scene. The family have
the sympathy of many friends, and the
bright face OF Park will be missed by many
outside the family.
1t was not in cruelty, it was not In wrath the
reaper came that day;
For an angel visited the green EARTH and TOOK tine
flower away"
