Tacoma Washington

Tacoma, Wash, July 4-The most APP
palling accident ever known in the his
tory OF Tacoma occurred this morning
when the $3.50 Edison car, loaded with
excursionists coming to see the parade,
was dashed down sixty feet over the
bridge at the gulch where the track runs
from De Lin street, burying the pas
sengers, among whom were many wo-
men and children. under the wreck Of
the car The car turned completely
over and mangled the unfortunate vic
tins into unacceptable shapes as the
debris crashed down the steep side of
the gulch.

Where the car went off there is a
sharp curve,at the foot Of a steep grade.

never be known, but as the car struck
the curve. instead Of following the rails,
It whirled completely over and pitched
from the bridge, striking on its top, the
heavy trucks and body OF the car crash
ing the frail upper works to splinters
and smashing down upon the mass Of
men. women and children, with which
the car was loaded.
SCENE WAS TERRIBLE.
In the gulch confused mass Of
wrecked car. bridge timbers, and killed
and mangled people made the heart Of
the beholder sink.
Telephone messages for doctors from
the st. Joseph Hospital to the central
station brought quick response. Po-
licemen and civilians were sent in haste
and every physician In the city was
notified. Telephone wires were kept
hot with repeated calls and not an eff
fort was lost 10 get every available
doctor in town.
MEN. WOMEN AND CHILDREN
KILLED.
AS the bodies OF the victims were
brought up out OF the gulch, some OF
them mangled out Of all recognizable
shape, heart-rending scenes were every
where seen, as mothers found the dead
and mangled children Others were
wildly rushing around looking for
friends that had been on the fatal car.
and everywhere scattered about on the
ground at the edge OF the gulch were
bodies OF men, women and children,
some OF them still alive. and some just
gasping their last breath. often with

dicted that The Democratic party would
reaftirm the Chicago platform in toto, and
add thereto strong planks against imne-
rialism and trusts. He took q hopeful
view Of the national contest. and thought
the Democratic party's chances OF sue
cess were greatly improved.
The speaker closed with brief allusion
10 his efforts 10 secure appropriations for

Congressman Lamb was seen yesterday
in regard to his candidacy for reelection,
and said that he proposed TO open head
quarters at once in this city, and felt cor
hdent of being his own successor.
He said he was satisfied that
the people did not believe that new man
could take up his work where he left of,
and carry it forward as successfully as
he himself could do
He referred TO his efforts in behalf Of
deep water for the Richmond harbor, and
said that his acquaintance with the River
and Harbors Committee warranted the
belief that, If returned 10 Congress, he
would succeed in getting through the a3-
preparation in the next Congress, which
was the most important legislation in
which Richmond had bsen interested for
many years.
He said he proposed to canvass the en-
tire district, speaking in this city and at
all the county Courthouse, and has no
fears as TO the result.
Asked his opinion as to the probable re-
suit of the coming presidential canvass,
Captain Lamb said that an air of conf
dence pervaded Democratic circles in
Washington. and that tae Western Con-
gressmen were especially hopeful, beIiev-
ing that their section would. stand up to
the Democratic ticket.
