stantly and when the remains are
placed on board the cars for the east

afternoon when loaded trolley car
went off he trestle over Peck's mill
pond at Oronoque, about six miles
north of Iridg port, and sank in the
flats 10 feet below. Thus far Sc peo-
pie are known to be dead and several
more injured.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unhurt.
1t is believed that there were 43
passengers on the car but the indica-
tor was removed by conductor of
another car and spirited away. SO that
at present it is impossible to state ac-
curately the number aboard.
The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car was northbound, running toward
Shelton. 1t was in charge of Conductor
John Carroll, of Bridgeport, who was
among the killed, and Mortorman
Hamilton of Bridgeport, who escaped
by jumping. The trestle is 44O feet
long, made of iron with stone founda-
tions and was not protected by guard
rails.

and three ambulances and a police
wagon were hurried to the scene and
the injured were taken to Bridgeport
general hospital.
A morgue was improvised in the
main room of the town hall at STRAIT
ford and in very short time 23 bodies
were laid out awaiting Identification.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Francis Peck, who resides about 400
feet from the bridge. She was up
stairs at her home as the car
was passing and she says that it
was running unusually fast Frank
Cramer, who was bathing near the
bridge, states that the passengers were
all singing and in the most joyful
mood as they passed him.
The road, which is practically con-
trolled by the Bridgeport Traction Co.,
was opened for traffic last Thursday.

NAVIGATION SUGGESTION.
Captain Should Not Lay Out His ves-
sells Course without As
distance.

All theories about magnetic attrac-
tion and unknown currents will have
to be dismissed SO far as the Paris acci-
dent is concerned. says the Philadel-
phia Press. 1t demonstrates one weak
feature in the method now followed in
determining the course of a vessel at
sea. The captain of vessel determines
the course without consultation with
the other navigating officers If he
makes mistake there is no check on
him, unless the man on the bridge dis
covers land, or light that causes q
change.
The suggestion made some time ago,
that more than one officer should take
part in laying the course of vessel,
seems to be wise one. The captain
could, for that matter, proceed as he
does now, but if another officer were re-
quired to make separate calculation
and give it to the captain, mistake
such as that made by Capt. Watkins
might easily be discovered in time to
avert disaster. t
Age and experience do not guarantee
freedom from error. Accidents more
often happen to the experienced cap
tains than to the inexperienced ones.
Perhaps in long course of years they
are apt slightly to relax their.vigilance,
and then comes the danger. The cap
tains of all the steamship lines lay out
the course Of their vessels without
check of'any kind from other officers.
There would appear to be need Of q
change In that respect.

BAR HARBoR. Me-, Aug. 7.-While a
crowd of excursionists were on. the
way to see the warships, slip lending
from the dock to the boat at Mount
Desert ferry broke, prccipitating more
than 100 into the water. Twenty bod
les have been recovered, and it is esti-
mated that the dead will number 80 or
more.
Among the bodies identified are
those of Mrs. William Murray, of
Brewer; Irving Bridges, of West
Hancock; Albert Colson, of Lee
want; Mrs. Alonzo Oakes, of Ban
gor; Joseph Murphy, of Old Town;
Mrs. Hollis Estey. of Ellsw, rth;

The Maine Central railroad Sunday
ran excursions to Bar Harbor from all
sections of it's line in Maine, the at
traction being the war ships which
were expected Sunday. All the morn
ing long trains packed with excursion
lists were rushing to Bar Harbor. The
rain which left Bangor at s:25 con-
sisted of 12 cars jammed with people.
At Mount Desert ferry, the terminus
of the line, the train is left for the
boat for an eight mile sail to Bar Har-
Dor. From the wharf slip or gang
plank 40 feet long and 10 feet wide led
up to the boat. The slip was hinged
at the inner end, was raised OF lowered
to suit the tide.
The wharf extends IN both sides OF
the lush with the end of the wooden
gang plank. Five timbers, 4 by 12
inches, set vertically, ran the length
of the plank and these were crossed
by two inch planking. 1t is said that
there was no support for the plank be.
tween the hinges at the outer end.
When the excursion train from Ban
gor arrived at the ferry there was
rush for the steamer Sapphet. The
first few passengers had crossed the
gang plank safely, and it is estimated
that 200 people were massed on the
plank. Suddenly they felt the plank
give way beneath them. The long
timber supporting the plank broke in
the middle. The hinges held up one
END and the chain the other, while the
broken end of the plank dropped, and
a struggling, screaming mass of hui
manity was plunged into the water, Is
feet below the wharf. A few clung to
the inclined sides of the plank, but at
least $50 were struggling in the water.
The piling of the wharf partially
penned them in on three sides and the
boat at the wharf closed the outer end
of the opening.
