TwENTY-NINE KILLED.
Loaded Trolley Car Plunges from a High
TrestIe.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. 7.-Shelton
Derby, Ansonia and Bridgeport are in
mourning. The frightful trolley acct
dent at Peck's Mills by which twenty
nine persons lost their lives and four
teen others were grievously hurt, has
cast feeling of gloom over the people
in the four towns affected. The acct
dent. one of the worst in the history of
the trolley, occurred on the line of the
Bridgeport Traction company. The
line is new one, having been opened
for traffic only on Thursday last.
1t is continuation of the road which
had stopped at Paradise Green in
Stratford; it was extended to Derby
to connect with another line, thus
forming part of the vast network of
trolley lines that run all through Con-
necticut. A trestle over Pecks pond
is the only important engineering work
on the line. The bridge is about 500
feet long, built of iron and rests on
stone piers. The pond had been drained
to facilitate the construction of the
trestle. From this bridge, or trestle,
a trolley car with forty-four persons

as it fell, and the heavy trucks and mo-
tors crashed through the floors of the

of the drained pond. Twenty.three
persons met instant death in that aw-
full plunge; six others died soon after,
while fourteen were more or less seri-
ously hurt. The dead are:

our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was

SHAW. TO A LABOR LEADER.
Hawkeye Governor Resents Some Re

Hawkeye Governor Resents Some Re-
marks About Iowa Volunteers.
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 7.-Governor
Shaw received circular letter sent out
by Edward Rosenberg, secretary of the
San Francisco Labor council, de-
nouncing the plan of the administra-
ton to muster out in San Francisco
the regiments returning from the Phil
ippines. The writer declares that the
members of the Fifty-first and other
regiments would be overwhelmed by
the irresistible attractions of San Fran
cisco, and so "go broke" They would
then have to "beat their way home on
trains" and run the risk Of being
thrown off these trains in the desert
by vigilant trainmen. 1t was claimed
that it would overstock the San Fran
cisco labor market. The letter was
written in spirit strongly against the
Philippine war.
The governor replied in a caustic
manner. He said in part: you must
have failed to have come in contact
with the Fifty-first Iowa when in camp
at yOur CITY They will not
become soldier tramps,' nor will they
attempt to beat the trains, nor will
they be put off on mountains and in
deserts. and there miserably perish.
l fear my dear sir, you have
not kept much in touch with the
thought and sentiment of your coun-
try"
The governor quotes from a speech
delivered by Governor Kirkwood these
words: IF you hear any one utter one
syllable against the government of the
United States of against the president
thereof, or against the cause for which
our boys are fighting, or do aught in
disrespect to the flag that waves over
them, shoot him where he stands. They
may arrest you, they may try you, they
may convict you, but they shall never
hang you. I'm governor of Iowa."

DEATHS Big HARVEST

bodies have been taken from the water
at the wrecked pier at the Mt. Desert
ferry, which connects the Maine Gen.
trail railroad with Bar Harbor. The
injured, who number fifty, are being
cared for at the Hotel Bluffs, which
has been converted into a hospital.
There were about 200 persons on the
pier when it collapsed, and all were
thrown into the water. The Maine
Central arranged four excursions to
carry people from interior towns to
Bar Harbor to see the ships of the
north Atlantic squadron. When the
first train of ten cars reached Mount
Desert it was crowded. The ferry boat
Sappho, which had been sent to meet
the train, could accommodate only one
third of the number on it, and there
was wild rush to get aboard the boat.
Pier damned with People.
Four men who had been stationed to
keep the crowd moving in order were
swept aside, and the pier was soon
jammed with 200 people. Beyond
them were several hundred more, push
ing and crowding Suddenly there was
a loud report, as though of cannon,
and those who had gained the Sappho
turned to see the pier part in the mid
die and men and women disappear into
the deep water about the piles
The wild excitement and confusion
that followed delayed effective work of
rescue. Then Captain Dixon of the
Sappho and Frederick Sanborn of
Portland organized a small party from
the crews of the Sappho and the Sc
bonca. In few minutes ropes and
ladders were let down and willing arms
were pulling out terrified men and
women.
No Physicians Present.
The work of reviving those who
needed resuscitation was slow, for
there were no physicians present. Tel
ephone messages to Bar Harbor and
Bangor soon reached a dozen physi-
clans, and their efforts saved at least
ors had been taken out the work of
recovering the bodies of the drowned
was begun. The freight house across
the railroad track was opened and on
the floor of it the bodies, as fast as
they were brought up, were placed for
Identification. 1t took three hours to
get the twenty bodies out.
The bodies of the dead have been
sent to the towns in which they belong.
List of the Dead.
The following is believed to be a
complete list of the dead: Miss Louise
