THE VIRGINIA DISASTER.
Thirteen Bodies Taken from Cars
Which Plunged Into River
Five Persons Missing.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 199.-The removal
cars which plunged into the open draw
at Elizabeth river Thursday afternoon
revealed but two bodies in the first car,
making the number of bodies recov-
cred 10, with five persons missing
None of the injured now in the hos
pitfalls will die, but a majority Of them
will be sent to their homes in a day or
two. The bodies of the dead will be
forwarded to their homes to-day. A
careful examination of the bottom of
the river showed no more bodies, and
the railroad officials are convinced that
the death list is now complete. though
reponte are still current of a much
heavier loss OF lie al DAY long Tne
operations Of the rescuing and wreck
ing crews continued. There were re-
ports that in the raising of one of the
submerged cars the end of the coach
was lOOsened and bodies were washed
back into the stream and foated away
with the tide. Later reports, however,
denied this story. The small casualty
pletely submerged. is explained by the
theory that when the emergency
brakes were applied many of the pas
sengers thought collision was immi-
nent and they rushed into the second
car, and all of them had time to es-
cape, except two, before the car finally
sank beneath the surface of the river.
The train was running at a rate of
Is or 20 miles an hour as it approached
the bridge. The specific orders of the
road to stop all trains at the bridge,
whether the draw is open or not, were
apparently ignored. The train plunged
into the abyss. Both engineer and fire.
man discovered the open draw too
late to stop the train. The air brakes
were applied, but did not work prop
