MANY CHILDREN DROWNED
Collapse OF An Old Suspension Bridge AT
Charleston, S. c., Causes Number OF
Deaths.

or6usly, the United States engineers
being appealed to for help, while river
men were among the earliest help.
0Fs. = 49,. ~ ,
The bridge was built fifty-two years
ago and during the past few months
there has been considera doubt re-
garding it's safety, heavy traffic being
kept off on number of occasions.
Two large cables Of the bridge were
pulled from their moorings, fitting the
floor and sliding people and wagons
off. Later the strain snapped one OF
the cables on the lower side, the floor
turning completely over as it dropped.
All the rescued were numbed and
chilled and suffering from the shock.
The fire department did good work
and the steamer, Baxter broke ice in
order to get small boats up. The
crash was heard all over Charleston
and in the country.
During the Civil war the cable of
this bridge was cut by General Wise
when he evacuated Charleston, the
bridge at the same time being par
TALLY burned. The same cable was
afterward spliced and has been in Use
ever since.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 16.-While
crowded with people, including many
children on their way to school, the
old suspension bridge which connects
East and West Charleston collapsed
during the day, turning turtle as it
fell, throwing twenty to thirty people
and half dozen teams to the ice fifty
feet below. The ice broke under the
weight and it is feared that the num-
Der who were swept under the ice to
their deaths will not be known for q
long time. Two dead bodies were
taken out within short time and a
number of injured were assisted to
the shore by rescuers who were
promptly on the scene. Planks were
thrown on the broken ice and over
these the rescuers crawled with ropes
which were used to pull the injured
and dead to the shore. .
News of the accident spread rapidly
and the banks were soon lined with
frantic people, who feared that friends
or relatives had gone down with the
bridge to their deaths.
The work of rescue was pushed Wig

decks of the destroyers and torpedo
boats were coated with ice and the
men suffered acutely from cold. t..
The Russians resorted to the most
extreme precautions to protect the Sc
vastopol. They dropped torpedo nets
which shielded the bows Of the war
ship, and the Sevastopol was further
protected by. a specially constructed
wooden boom, the framework of which
was composed of iron bound logs and
cables and heavy chains interlaced
and entangled From the surface 81
this boom hung q deep curtain made 81
