carried two cars across after having
been crippled by the car that left the
rails.
OF the bridge there was nothing left
but scrap, and the cars were thrown
about in wild confusion and dismem-
berment. Among the debris were
found the bodies of three tramps who
had been stealing rides.
Two men were sent back to flag an
excursion train, soon due The coroner
Of nearby town, upon the arrival Of
the bodies of the tramps, impaneled the
whole of the train crew as a jury and
even forced the fagmen to leave their
posts. Only two men were left at the
scene of the wreck. Suddenly they
were startled by the shrek of an en-
CINE whistle. The two men climbed
up away from the track, expecting
each moment to hear a terrible crash.

founded to see an engine and ten cars,
from which people were swarming.
standing on the track, safe and sound.
The locomotive had ridden out over
the wreckage and rested upon it in an
upright condition, supported by the de-
bris which filled the opening that the
bridge had spanned, instead Of by the
rails.

THE ENGINE AND TENDER JUMPED THE
FORTY FEET THE BRIDGE HAD SPAWNED.
many instances the engines, tenders
and cars have performed feats that are
astounding, and their causes have been
no less unusual.
In 1873 at the Richmond switch in
Connecticut dam across a small mill
stream was carried away, and the wa
ter, released, rushed onward with such
force that it carried away the railroad
bridge, some forty feet in length, which
crossed a chasm twenty feet deep. But
the rails at both ends of the bridge
were left projecting over the swirling
stream.
No one lived near the place, so the
breaking Of the dam and the washing
away Of the bridge were not known,
and there was no one to give warning
to train of six cars, bearing some $50
passengers, which came laundering
along. Not until it was too late to
stop did the engineer notice that the
bridge was gone. He instantly applied
the brakes, but his act was Of no avail.
So great was the momentum Of the
train that the engine and tender jump
ed the forty feet which the bridge
had spanned and imbedded themselves
on the farther side. Two cars plunged
into the chasm, but all the rest remain
ed on the track. Although fire broke
out Immediately, only seven people
were killed.
A singular accident occurred at Cole
man Station, n Y, in the winter Of
1888. In endeavoring to clear the
tracks OF the New York and Harlem
road a snowplow and five engines
plunged into q firmly packed snow
drift in a rocky cut and were heaped
in shapeless mass. Four men were
killed and five injured.
The cut was eXcavated from the
solid rock, barely the width of a car,
about 80 feet high and $50 feet long.
Into this cut the snow had drifted till
in places 1t was level with the top, and
it was packed in an almost solid mass,
made less penetrable by thaw which
had been followed by freezing wealth
er. Into this cut the five engines and
q snowplow charged at @ speed Of for
ty miles an hour. So great was the
power of the locomotives that the first
engine, with the plow, penetrated the
frozen mass and they were buried in
it. But there the tunneling ended.
When the first engine and pillow were
brought to sudden stop the other
four locomotives, their momentum
broken without any warning or chance

or with roar like thunder They were
keaped in an awful tumble, and from
the terrible mass of broken iron, the
Kissing steam and grimy smoke came
the cries of the dying and injured.
An accident in which fifteen people
were killed and fifty injured, while the
engine and cars performed remarka-
bic stunts happened near Peru, Ind,
in 1901, when the train known as the
st. Louis flier crashed through a tres
tie twenty-five feet high at 2 o'clock
In the morning.
Speeding at the rate of mile q
minute in order to make up time, the
flier dashed around curve leading to
Short bridge, just outside the limits of
Peru. A shrill whistle told that the
train was late, but the whistle ended
in a shrek and the hiss Of escaping
steam.
AS the locomotive struck the trestle
there was a deafening crash, a fare

Of revolving lights and roar as Of
thunder as engine and cars plunged
with terrific force to the bottom Of the
ravine. Over and over the engine turn
ed, making three somersaults before it
landed, bottom up, at the foot of the
embankment.
One of the sleeping cars measured
the exact length Of the trestle, and as
the train hustled down the embank-
ment this car lodged squarely on the
abutments at each end of the bridge
supports and exactly spanned the ra-
vine in place Of the wrecked trestle,
directly over the scene of disaster and
death.
The blowing out of red signal light
by the wind during fierce blizzard
caused collision between two passen-
ger trains on the Pere Marquette rail-
road at East Paris in the winter Of
1903, bringing death to seventeen and
injury to thirty-one.
The east and west bound trains were
to have passed at the town Of Fox.
Orders to this effect were received by
the train from the east, and at Nc
Cords Station the one from the west
should have received them, for the
agent hung out his red lantern. Two
minutes before the arrival Of the train
the agent had noticed that the light
was burning. Suddenly above the fury
of the storm he heard the train, which,
to his amazement, Numbered by. Re
alizing that the action meant an in
evitable collision, the operator rushed
to the door sand found that the signal
light was not burning.
Tearing through the blizzard rfven
night, the westbound train sped down
grade, making all Of sixty miles an
hour, while to meet it came the east
ern train up the grade at the rate Of
forty miles. And the driving storm
made 1t impossible for the engineers
Of the approaching trains to see each
other even in time to allow them to
slow down.
Almost frantic, the operator at Nc
Cords notified the train dispatcher
and then sat in awful suspense, await
ing word Of the wreck. And In less
than twenty minutes after the train
had rushed past his station the report
came. The two trains had met In the
middle Of long curve, on the inner
side Of which was high embankment
which shut out all view Of the track
ahead.
When the engines met one turned
completely over and lay headed in the
opposite direction to that which it had
been travelling, while the one from the
east climbed over the other, it's boiler,

the mail and baggage cars, remained
on the rails, and their passengers were

quarters of mile back from the

Woman Said to Have Aided
Church in Escape May Be
Able to UnraveI Mystery
PRISONER NOW RECANTS
Officials Do Not Place Much
Faith in the Story of
Bribing Deputy Sheriffs

The Police Department and the Sher-
ifs Office are still puzzled over the
mysterious Church case. The officials
are inclined to throw cold water on the
story of alleged bribery that was told
by Church in Los Angeles, but still
they are working on the theory that
some influence was brought to bear to
aid the prisoner in his escape from the
hands of deputy sheriff.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
locate Mrs. Mitchell, wife of the man
who is now serving a term in the
States prison for the robbery of a
bucket shop. Both Sheriff Curtis and
Captain of Detectives Burnett are con-
f1dent that the woman is mixed up in
the case. So far she has managed to
elude the officials.
District Attorney Byington yesterday
had Church on the carpet in his Office
for more than. an hour. The District
Attorney tried to make the crook tell
all about the case. but the latter was
willy and refused to .divulge the infor-
nation desired He assumed an inde-
pendent attitude and denied every
thing published about. him.
Church exonerates. Chief Jailer Sulli-
van and Deputy Sheriff Kerrigan from
all blame He saySs-he -outwitted the
latter when he took him to a dentists
Office and strenuously denies having
paid any money for hiss5escape. He
admits having metz Mrs. Mitchell near
the dentists office, but swears' that was
the last time he saw her. se
Sheriff Curtis. is inclined to doubt
Churchs tale of bribery and says mo
action will be taken against Sullivan
or Kerrigan unless some positive proof
is obtained that CHURCH or an accom-
plice did pay over the money. fSherin
Curtis yesterday morning detailed Dep
uty Sheriff Hines to interview Church,
and the latter as was. expected, de-
MED everything when confronted by
the official. K
1t is now known beyond a doubt
that Church pawned the ring he stole
from one of the prisoners in this city.
He says he got rid of both the watch
apd the ring in Los. Angeles. but the
police are sure he disposed of the lat
ter article here.
Captain of Detectives Burnett said
last night that the police would take
no further action in the case unless
notified by the Sheriff. The latter is
anxious to locate Mrs. Mitchell and ex-
poets to find her shortly. Should Cur
tbs happen to secure more evidence
within the next forty eight hours. it is
believed the case will develop into a
sensational affair.

will be granted next year.
NJ Butterworth appeared before the commit
tee 10 urge that the city purchase some dis
appearing hitching posts as recommended by
the Board of Works. The committee rather
favored the proposition, but said no funds
were available at present. Butterworth was
instructed to come before the committee at
the end of June, when possibly money may be
found out of the surplus fund TO buy some OF
the hitching posts.
