LARGELY INCREASED DEATH LIST
The Total Number of Lives Lost
Now Placed at 120-Several Fam.
ilies Practically Wiped Out of Ex.
istence—Sad Scenes on the River
Bank.
Berxg, June 16. —Further details re-
ceived from the scene of the terrible
railroad accident which occurred at a
village near Bale, on the Menchenstein
and Bale railroad, show that two en-
wines and three carriages loaded with
excursionists fell into the stream which
flowed beneath the iron bridge, which
gave way and caused the disaster,
These carriages and engines now form
a shapeless heap of wreckage beneath
prevented two other carriages, which
were suspended practically in the air,
the number of killed and wounded.
Over a Handred Dead,
is now placed at 120, with
hundreds more or less injured. Of the
large number of persons injured, many
have suffered so seriously that it is con-
sidered likely that their injuries will
terminate fatally, as they consist of bad
lacerations, and in some cases limbs
have been completely severed.
Engineers who have inspected the
bridge since its collapse say that the
iron work of the structure alone gave
way, and that the masonry work is in
tact. The musical fete at Manchen-
stein, to which the excursionists were
bound, was abandoned as soon as the
news of the accident was received, and
hundreds of villagers hurried to the
scene to assist in rescuing the victims.
The bridge was an iron skeleton struc.
ture, which was considered weil built
sud substantial. The only apparent rea-
gam for the collapse of the bridge is that
the train left the : dls and threw ifs en-
tire weight on one side 7 the bridge.
A City of the Dead.
Scenes which were truly heartrender-
were witnessed in this city when
the bodies of a large number of the vic
tims were brought here. Several fami-
lies were practically wiped entirely out
of existence by the disaster, the fall ex-
tent of whichis not known yet. Bale is
now truly a city of mourning, a place of
the dead. and the scene of bitter desola-
tion and mourning. Nearly every family
in the city may be said to have been
touched By the « alamity.
The work of the soldiers dragging the
river was greatly impeded by the fact
that the stréam is considerably swollen.
Thus the waters carried many of the
b dies a long way down the river, so
nuch so that it is expected that sever: ul
day s of such dredging work will be re-
eyired before the soldiers’ work will be
LOM ete nl.
G lastly as the broken bridge and its
environs were during the work just de
scribed there was one corner of the dark
picture which was the center of the dusk
