vivors of Blizzard to ST.
Johns.

st. Johns, ~ F., April 6.-The seal
ing steamer Bellaventure steamed
slowly into the harbor at dusk bear
ing 60 of the dead and 80 of the Grip
pied survivors of the disaster that
overlook the sealers of the steamer
Newfoundland on the ice foes near
Belle Isle straits in last Tuesdays
blizzard.
Thirteen of the living were removed
to the hospital in a critical condition.
Several others were seriously i'll and
all but one of the remainder bore the
scars of their As hours exposure to
the arctic gale in which II of their
companions met death. This unin-
jured survivor was stricken blind
after being picked up. but it is ex-
pected he will recover his sight.
There is still faith in many quarters
that the Southern Cross. the stout
steamer that Lieutenant Shackleton,
the British explorer. used on one OF
his antarctic expeditions, weathered
the blizzard with its 10 men. No
wreckage has been reported anywhere
along the coast.
The disaster which overlook the
Newfoundland hunters was unavoid-
able, according to Captain Randell OF
the Bellaventure
On Thursday the weather cleared
and the Bellevanture was making
ready to start the men after seals
again when a lookout in the crow S
nest reported men on the ice. Cap
tain Randell Immediately ordered
every available man from the ship to
the rescue Most of the castaways
were four miles away over a broken
field of ice.
The Bellevanture was driven toward
them with all possible speed, but sc
bad were ice conditions that 1t re
quired nine hours to cover the four
miles.
In the meantime Captain Randell's
men had reached the castaways. Only
a few of the hardest were conscious
and able to help themselves. Many
were in a stupor. Some were raving
others having been stricken with ice
blindness. Many bodies were found
frozen so fast In the ice that pick
axes were necessary to chop then
out. Two of the survivors were near
" mad from their suffering and grief
Each had watched a brother die In
his arms.

Many were raving maniacs from their
long vigil on the firing lines, loss OF
sleep and the excitement of battle.
Saloons were broken open and loot

many rebels were shot by their com
panions. Many of the rebel troops
were so exhausted that they fell
across the bodies of the dead and
slept soundly for hours.

General Villa, without giving his
men time to rest after their terrific
eleven days battle. ordered an inn
mediate advance on Saltillo and
Monterey, two of the few important
cities in northern Mexico still held

news of the capture of Torreon to
General Carranza, the latter said he
had been sending troops eastward to-
ward the two federal strongholds.
According to two dispatches re-
ceived here from the rebel front, the
entire army of General Velasco, fed
eral commander at Torreon, was wiped
out. save a few hundred who escaped

LAPSES IN NDlANA-THREE
KILLED AND so HURT.
CREW VICTIMS OF CRASH
Passengers Saved From Death by
Breaking of coupling-Engine and
Three Cars Plunge off Structure
One Wreck Was Just Cleared Away.

Attica, Ind. April 6.-Three persons
were killed, another fatally injured.
and 90 others less seriously hurt when
the Wabash river bridge collapsed and
hurled the Continental Limited train
of the Wabash system into the ditch
and partly into the river.
Wrecking crews had just cleared
away the debris caused by wreck
earlier in the day. Apparently the sup
ports of the bridge had been weakened,
for the whole span under the engine
crumpled.
The dead are:
Tim Hull, engineer, Peru. Ind; mar
ried.
Jacob Miller, fireman, Peru, Ind;
married.
J. A. Thomas, express messenger.
Huntington, Ind.
The engine, tender and three cars
plunged through the broken span, all
falling a distance of about thirty feet
to the bank of the river, and one car
partly submerged Only the breaking
OF the couplings prevented the remain
der of the train from falling, and only
the fact that the cars were Of steel
averted terrible loss Of life.
Enoineer Dies in Cab.
Tim Hull, the engineer, died at his
post. and was apparently killed in
stantly The engine turned over back
wards and Hull was crushed. Fireman
Miller was flung out of the engine cab,
but caught by falling fragments o. the
bridge Express Messenger Thomas
was killed in the combination express,
baggage and smoking car by some
heavy express packages. or possibly
his own safe, falling on him as the
car plunged through the opening in the
bridge. The mail car, which was oil
rectly behind the tender, carried six
clerks. This car made an almost yer
tical drop, and though every one of the
clerks was injured, none was killed mol
even injured seriously. Next came the
combination car, directly at the edge
of the river. One-half of the car alight
ed on land, the other in the water
ing compartment in the rear.
Water Reaches Windows.
Fortunately for them the car re
NAMED right side up, and though thu
car sank until the water was up to th'
windows, the occupants managed Il
crawl out of the windows. Had the
car turned over they would have beer
drowned.
Next came a passenger day coach
and here was displayed one of thu
nearly miraculous things that some
times happen in accidents of this kind
This car was half way over the edg
of the pier on the river side of tn
broken span. When the forward car
fell the weight and momentum of thi
car sent the forward end topping down

Every passenger was hurled in
screaming, fighting mass to the from
end of the car, and finally it becam
apparent to them that the car was n
longer moving, and that they would b
all right If they would extricate then
selves.
Then it was seen that the forwar
end of this car had struck the rea

on the pier, and there the car hung 6
