Portland's second street railway catas
trophe within a rear occurred early
Wednesday morning, when the electric
car lnei bound from Milwaukee to
Portland plunged through tho open draw
of the Madison street bridiw and sank
in the river, ltiere were eighteen or
twenty passengers aboard when the car
started to cross the bridge, and all but
seven of them saved their lives by leap
ing from the vehicle ere it dived.
THK MOTOKMAN'S ACOOl NT.
E. F. Teiry who was running the car
at the time made the following statement
which is substantially the same as that
made by Conductor Powers and most
eye witnesses, he said : "I ant a motor
man for the East Side Railway company
and live at Milwaukee. I left the station
at Milwaukee for Oak Grove at 5:45 A.
M. and took on five passengers nt Oak
Grove when I turned there for Portland.
I do not know how many people got on
after that. The track was somewhat J
slippery all the way in, but worse on the
bridge than anywhere else. I madd
reasonable stops wherever I found it
extremely slippeiy, and threw off the
power, as usual, while comirg on the
bridge. I threw tht? power on about one
turn after getting on the bridge and do
not know exactly how long I kept it on,
but am sure t was a very short time, as
we always expect to meet tenuis on the
bridge. When I got into the fog, wh'cli
was heavier on the bridge than any
where e se 1 had seen it this murning,
I tried my brake. Then the car was
about three spans east of the draw.
The brake worked all right and held
the wheels, but 1 found that the wheels
slid on the t'ack. By this time I was
within one span of the draw, and then
for the first time I raw the red light. I
then reversed the switch and put on the
power. It seemed to have no effect.
Tne wheels continued to slide ami the
power was on the reverse when the car
went into the river. I stayed with the
car until it broke through the gate.
Then, seeing that I bad done all in my
power. I jumed, landing on the side
walk. I held to the outside railing of
the briuge, and my feet were hanging
over the outer edge. Vv ben I got up the
car had sunk out of sight. I did not see
it go into the river, nor do I know bow
many passengers were aboard it at the
time."
It was about 6:45 o'clock when the car
arrived at the bridge. A dense fox en
veloped the river, and the sharp frost
of the preceding night had covered the
rails and trolley lines of the railway with
a coating oi ice mat made locomotion
very difficult The draw span had been
swung open to allow the steamer Elwood
to pass op, and the bridge-tender had
taken the usual precautions against
accident by closing the gates at either
end of the draw and keeping the red
signal light hoisted. The steamer was
within a few yards of the draw when the
car crashed through the frail barrier and
slid along the ice-covered rails until it
went headlong into the river. The
details of the awful affair can best be
gleaned from the statementBof employees
Thwe of Motorman E. F. Terry and
Conductor W. C. Powers were sworn to
before Mayor Mason and Chief of Police
Hunt, who released the men on their
own recognizance.
HI'HKAD I.IKK WILUKIKK.
Early as it was, thousands of people
were congregated on the bridge and the
wharves in its vicinity while fearfully
exaggerated reports of the catastrophy
were flashing through the city. Ifiiifh
Brady had his dragging apparatus in
operation an hour after the Inez hud
sunk from view, and at 9 :30 o'clock the
first body was brought to the surface. It
was immediately identified as that of
John P. Anderson. The coroner's
wagon was in waiting, and the remains
were at once taken to the morgue.
Shortly afterward the corpse of Alexan
der Campbell was brought up, and at
11 o'clock the stiffened form of Jasper
Stadler was added to the ghastly col
lection. Then the tugC. M. Belshaw
arrived with a couple of construction
barges in tow, and their hoisting ma
chinery was set to work to remove
the sunken car, which was obstructing
the drags. Shortly afterward George A.
Tilden, submarine diver, boarded one of
the barges with his apparatus and drag
ging was suspended.
WKKCKED CAR BAISKU,
Diver Tilden made bis first desent at
1:15 o'clock. He found the wrecked
car in about thirty-five feet of water,
lying almost parallel with the bridge
and tipped slightly on one side, It was
off the trucks, the entire roof was
crushed in, the platform was completely
severed from the body, and about hull
of one side was smashed to splinters,
The inteiior was so jammed with wreck
age that the diver found it Impossible to
force an entrance or (o ascertain whether
any human bodies were Inside. So he
began preparations to have the entire
shattered mass hoisted. At two o'clock
he had a heavy chain securely attached
to each end of the wreck, and when ho
returned ilwtr.1 tho barge the signal to
hoist was given. It was slow work,
and before the loops of the chain ap
peared above the suifnce the patience of
the thousands who watched tho
operation from ever)- available point of
view was sorely taxed. As the jagged
point of a broken U-am arose from the
tide there was an Involuntrry pressing
forward of the throngs aboard the barges,
ami several oarsmen Ignored police
restriction by slipping under the ropes
stretched to impede their navigation.
Then the wbole shattered mass slowly
apiieared, but ere it was entirely raised
from the water the engines were stopped
and an eager inspection of the wreckage
was made by Police Captain Ilotmherg
and the men in his commamt. One of
tho otllcers reached down and tugged at
a black mass wedged between a couple
of seats. It was a man's coat. Another
tug or two released the mass from Its
fastenings, and brought to the surface
the douhled-up corpse of Theodoro
Bennick. The Identity was established
by a memorandum book in one of his
IMxkets. The body was lifted alord
the barge, and soon the coroner removed
it.
SK A Ki ll I SO TI1K WKKCKAOK.
No other bodies could be seen amid
the wreckage, and the work of hoisting
was resumed and continued until the re
mains of the car swung high in air.
Then a haosn was floated under it, and
it was lowered to the ilcvk, where a
thorough insection was made. It was
with a feeling akin to disapsintment
that Captain HolmU'rg announced there
were no more corpses in the car, for of
the seven pemons known to have
erished, the remains of only five had
been recovered. So the diver resumed his
I quest on the river bottom. He sent up
the remainder of the wreckage, but noth
ing to relieve the anxiety of those ulsive.
At 4 :.'!0 o'clock he ceased work for the
day, and the flotilla and small boats
that had hovered around the barges
ail day returned to shore.
The car looked as if it had been tel
escoped, so complete was its demolition.
Its remaining woodwork was broken and
splintered in a most inexplicable wav.
and some of its 2-inch iron bars were
warped and twisted as if a giant had
Wn testimr his strength with them.
The debris of the roof was mixed up
with the wrecked seats, and not an inch
of glass was left in any of the yawning
window frames. The trucks showed
that the motorman had worked hard to
avert the catastrophe, for the dripping
wheels were tightly hugged by the
brake flanges. Nothiig but the trucks
can be maile use of, for the wood work
is only fit for kindling.
The diver resumed work Thursday
morning but he did not entertain very
strong hopes of finding the remains of
the missing persons in the vicinity of
the bridge. While down for the last
time Wednesday he searched carefully
within a 100-foot radius of where the
wreck lay, but found nothing. It is
likely that the bodies of Oder and Alhee
have been carried down stream by the
current.

A fatal accident occurred on the mill
switch last Friday as tho morning freight
was switching t ars for tho mill, which
cost a man, named IWIiinan, who had
been a suitor on the Tilllo Starbuck, his
life. He. with a companion, had occu
pied one of tho freluht cars during the
night and as the train csino along they
probably tried to board It which the other
man succeeded III doing, but Bacliinnn
fell beneath the wheels and had his leg
crushed so that It had to bo amputated.
The trainmen were notified of the acci
dent by his companion and brought hi in
to the station but none of them thought
to tie tho leg so as to stop the flow of
blood and when Ir. Carll reached It i tit
he found amputation necessary but his
patient was so weik that ho died at
tho close of the operation.
