Bridgeport, Conn.. Aug. 8. Nearly
40 poisons weio killed by nn accident
on tho Stratford extension of tho Shot
ton Street Railway Company at 4
o'clock today, whon a loaded trolley car
went off tho trestle over Peck's
millpond at Oronoquo, about six miles
noithof Biidgeport, and sank in tho
HatB 40 feet below. Thus far 30 per
sons aio known to bu dead, and sevoiul
moro in jilted.
Onlv two persons aro known to havo
escaped unharmed. It is belioved that
there woro 43 passengers on tho car, but
tho indicator was removed by a con
ductor of another car and spirited
away, so that at present it is impossi
ble to say accurately tho munbur
aboard.
Tho scene of tho accident is midway
between Shelton and Uridgepoit. The
car was northbound, running tow am
Shelton. Tho trestlo is 440 feet long,
made of iron, with stone foundations,
and was not protected by guard rails.
South of tho tiestlo is an incline down
which tho car ran on tho trestlo for
about 10 feet, the trucks left the rails.
The car continued on tho tlea about 76
feet, when it went off the trestle and
dropped into tho pond below, overturn
ing and completely upending.
U'linn fVwi i.r clrurl- tin) fnill-toll
motor and tho heavy trucks crushed
into it, instantly killing many ot tlio
passengers. Three physicians, who
wmn nnssenenifl on a car a short dis
tance behind, arrived quickly and ren
dereil all possible assistance to tho in
jured. Word was sent to Bridgeport and
three ambulances and a polieo wagon
were hurried to tho sceno, and tho
injured were taken to Bridgeport gen
eral hospital. A niorguo was impro
vised in tho main room of tho town
hall at Stratford, and in a very hort
time 23 bodies wero laid out awaiting
identification.
DROWNED IN GROUPS.
DUatter to Mitlnn Kxcurilonlita at
Mount llt-irrt Ferry,
Bar Harbor, Me., Aug. 8. A score
of persona were killod today by tho
collape of the gangplank of the Mount
Desert ferry. Seventeen were drowned
aud three died from the terriblo exper
ience of immersion in the water and in
juries while struggling for life.
The Maino Central todav tan excur
sions to Bar Harbor from all sections
of its line in Maine, tho attraction be
ing the warships which were expected
today. All tho morning long trains
packed with excursionists were rushing
to Bar Harbor.
When the excursion from Bangor nr
rived at tho ferry thoro was a rush for
the steamer Sappho. The first few pas
sengers had crossed the gangplank safe
ly, and it is eetiinated that 200 people
were massed on the plank. Suddenly
they felt the plank give way, and a
struggling, ecreaming mass of human
ity was plunged into the wator, 15 feet
below the what f. A fow clung to tho
inclined sides of the plank, but at least
150 were struggling in tho wator. Tho
piling of tho wharf partially ponriod
them on three sides, and the boat lyiug
at the wharf closed the outer end of
the opening.
After tho first moment of stupcifac-
tion tho work of rescuo began. Ropes
and life preeerveis were thrown to the
crowd, but in the panio the people in
tlio water clutched one another and
many sank in groups in a death grip.
Tho exact numbei of dead will not be
known for some time yet, os a strong
tide sweeps under tho pior, and tho
bodies may havo beon carriod away
away by it.

Austin, Tex., Aug. 8. A special ro
oeived here today from Terrazas, Chi
huahua, Mexico, which is located near
the sceno of the Yaqui uprising, is to
the effect that the Indians are arrang
ing for a prolonged war. Tho special
says:
"It Is going to take tho Moxican gov
ernment a long tiino and a big lurco ol
troops to quell tho rebellion. The
Yaquis aro bettor prepared now than
ever before for a long and bloody cam
paign. Thoy aio all well fixed finan
cially, nearly all of them having saved
the $200 per lioad which tho Mexican
govornment paid them whon they
signed tho treaty of pouco two years
ago. They havo been making since
then, too, and it is known to ho a fact
that they have been laying in big sup
plies of arms and ammunition for somo
time past. It has boon common thlk
among the American prospectors in tlio
Yaqui valhy that tho Indians woro pro
paring for anothor outbreak, hut as the
braves had alwnva shown n fiimwllu
spirit toward the Amorioans, it was
uiougui tney would not molest them
when they did go on the warpath.

HAD HIS EYE ON MANILA.
Downy Wniitml to Cnpturs thn City a
Qunrtrr of a Criitilty Acn.
Washington, Aug. 0. An interest
ing historical fact dating hack to 1873,
has como to light, in which Admiral
Dewoy was tho central flguro. Dowey,
then a commander, was in command
of tho United States ship Narragansett,
on tho Asiatic station, having taken
charge of tho vessel March 1, 1873.
The vossol was on surveying duty when
tho Virgini.iH ttoublu was precipitated
and a war with Spain seemed itiiml
nont. Commander Dewoy wrote to tho
navy dopartmont requesting that in
case of war ho should bo assigned to
the duty of capturing Manila. Tho
poacoful sottlemont of the controversy
with Spain avoidod tho nocessity of
hostilo demonstration, but tho intor
osting fact is that tho doughty officer
had his oyo on Manila over a quarter
of a century ago. A soaioh will ho
made for tho letter in tho files of tho
navy departmoiit and if found it is ox
pected an effort will ho niado by tho
citizens cominitteo to havo it repro
duced os a souvenir of tho reception to
ho tendered Admiral Dewoy upon his
nrrivul hero.
