Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 20.-Nine men
were killed, two are missing and four
were badly hurt by the collapse of a
traveller crane on the Pittsburg end of
the new Wabash railroad bridge over
the Monongahela river.
The wrecked section of the bridge
fell on a barge loaded with steel on
which number of men were working.
So sudden were the swapping of the
traveller, the falling of the section of
the bridge and the sinking Of the
barge, that scarcely any of those in
the vicinity had time to get out of the
place Of destruction. Those on the sec
tfon of the bridge were crushed. and
some instantly killed by the heavy
traveller falling on them, while those in
the barge were crushed or drowned.
The cause of the accident has not yet
been ascertained, but as far as can be
learned from eye witnesses, it was due
TO the traveller being weighted.
The traveller projects beyond the fin
ish ed part of the bridge for the pur-
pose of placing an addition in position
and allowing the builders to operate
While many men were at work on this
additional section, the projecting part
snapped and fell. 1t landed on the
section of the bridge that was being
placed in position and caused it ito
give way. On this section several men
were at work, and they were carried
down with the Wreckage.
