PLUNGED TO DEATH.
TROLLEY CAR DISASTER NEAR
BRIDGEPORT. CONN.
Hurled from a Trest1e and Fifty Feet
Down Ravine- Thirty five Persons
Killed and Twelve Injured-NO One
on Board Escapes.

Forty-three passengers on trolley car
on the Shelton street railway were dash
ed down ravne at Peck's mill stream,
five miles from Bridgeport, Conn, at
3:13 Sunday afternoon. Twenty-six We're
killed outright and two died at the hos
pital.
bridge $50 feet long The distance from
the top of the structure to the bed of the
stream is fifty feet. All vf the water
was drawn off a few months ago to per-
nit the buttresses for the bridge to be
laid The street railway line was open
ed to the public the previous Thursday
for the first time.
The car jumped the rails on the trestle
over the stream and plunged down the
embankment fifty feet below, where 1t
was buried in the mud. The motorman,
George Hamilton, saved himself from
death by jumping on the trestle as the
car plunged into the abyss.
The alarm was given and hundreds Of
farmers from the vicinity were soon on
the scene. Other cars that were follow
ing the fatal one arrived, and in a short
time hundreds Of volunteers were at
work The work was retarded owing to
the difficulty of gaining secure foot
passage in the narrow ravine. Farmers
and their wives and daughters came with
blankets and woolens, and all of the
physicians in Bridgeport and Stratford
who were available were summoned.
The car was soon separated the bottom
portion being lifted off. The top was
buried several feet in the mud and the
bodies Of the dead and dying were strewn
about. The seats were smashed to splin-
tiers. Strange to say, few Of the bodies
were badly mangled. All of the persons
killed sustained fractured skulls.
John and Daniel Calvin of Ansonia, as
far as is known at present, were the only
ones except Motorman Hamilton who es-
capped being hurled into the ravine. They
were ON the rear end of the car, and
when it left the rails they took no
chances, but jumped and landed safely on
the trestle.
The cause of the accident is uncertain.
The car is too badly wrecked to give an
indication of possible defects of its
wheels. South of the trestle is quite an
incline, on which the car ran down at a
very high rate of speed. After it ran
on to the trestle for about ten feet the
trucks left the rails and the car contin-

SCARCITY OF HANDS.
WOMEN COMPELLED TO WORK
IN HARVEST.
Large Wages offered for Men ano
Bows, but the Demand Exceeds the
Supply Brilliant Outlook for Fall
Business Is Reported.

That section of the great corn and
wheat belt formed by northwestern
Iowa, northeastern Nebraska, southwest
ern Minnesota and southeastern South
Dakota has witnessed the extraordinary
spectacle of hundreds of men and women
working in the harvest fields to save the
small grain Such a sight was never seen
there before Men and even boys nave
been offered So day, but could NOT De
had. The scarcity of men was due TO
the pressure of railroad building gong
on in the North and West. On account
of the recent heavy rains and WIND
storms, necessitating restocking ana
rushing the work to save from blight, all
hands have had to turn into helds
through those parts. 1t is the Wettest
harvest since 1888. Since cutting began
three tornadoes have swept that section
and rain has fallen in torrents. When
the harvesters went into the fields the
splendid stands of grain promised one
of the biggest small grain crops ever
produced. Now the farmers will be glad
to save half crop. In some sections rot
and half-flled ears are complained OF,
but the greatest loss is entailed by the
lodging of the stalks. Whole fields are
matted and beaten into the ground be-
yond recovery Corn has been loosened
in sections where the storms have been
Most violent, but on the whole 1t stu
promises a splendid crop.
