A Frightful Accident Between Covington and Newport, Ky., 40 People Killed. A Terrible Cyclone Kills Many Children and Adults. CixcINNATI, O., June 16— Yesterday morn- ing, the false work of the new bridge being built over the Licking river,between Coving- ton and Newport, fell, carrying down with it 90 men. The first estimate of the number of lives lost was 30, but later reports make the total number 88. Among them were Andrew and Albert Baird, the contractors. The construction of the bridge was begun ear'v last fall, and will be used for foot pas- sengers and street railway traffic. The piers have been corapleted, and the work of fixing the heavy pieces of iron in place had begun. Not a stick of the false work, from pier to pier. remained, and the river was filled with timbers and iron work, with scores of men struggling for life. Following is the list of dead, injured and missing, so far as known up to mid- night: : LIST OF THY DEAD. C. D. Champoi Sempld, of Boston; Thom- as Down, Wheeling; an unknown about 40 years old; J. R. Roby,*Radford City., Va.; Elmer Barber, Cincinnati; William Alois, Ohio; C.W. Pfafenbach, Wheeling; Richard Gorman, Dolphin, Pa.; John Adams, Cin- cinnati; Frank Adams, Cincinnati; Robert Baird, Newport; Andrew Baird, Pittsburgh; Charles Gresham, Covington; Edward Sulli- van, Ludlow, Ky.; James Johnson, Havre de Grace, Md.; Dennis Harlow, Parkersburg; E. A. Nolan, Erie, Pa ; Charles Stall, Iron- ton, Os; Charles Tyre, Mitchell, Ind; Wil- liam Burton, Pendleton, Ky.; Patrick Mur- ray, Greenbriar, W. Va. The number of killed will probably reach 40. LIST OF THE INJURED. Daniel Binkley, Hill Station, O.; Bruce Thomas, Indianapolis; J. C. Arling, New port, Ky.;a German nicknamed‘ ‘Skyhooks,”’ name unknown; Charles H. Wilkerson, Louisville, Ky.; Benjamin Arnold, Nich- olasville, Ky.; John J. Murray, Newport; ‘William Thomas, Xenia, O.; John Phillips, Newport; “Rabbit” Heinger; C. H. Fetters, Ironton, Ohio; A.

Heil; Thomas Krause. THE MISSING. Martin Luther, Lagrange, Ky.; Frank Mure, Newport; George Burge, Covington: N. W. Burton, Winchester, Ky.; William We Sling, Newport; Frederic Brant, Cincinnati; Richard Adams, Cincinnati. A big portion of the false work was sub- merged, and with it were the unfortunate workmen. The scene was a horrible one. In a minute the air was filled with the shrieks of the injured and dying. Those who could free themselves from the tangled network of timber, struggled to the surface of the water and tried to get ashore. One after another gave up the desperate and uneven struggle and sank into the muddy water. Fhough the banks were crowded not a soul could go to the rescue of the poor fellows. One unknown man was taken out on the Covington side. He was found wedged in so tightly that a portion of his hand bad to chopped off before he could be taken out. All the dead bodies as they were taken out presented terrible pictures. The bones were crushed and splintered, and in many in- stances forced through the flesh, presenting a sickening sight. The terrible calamity is due directly to the recent heavy rains. The traveler was fully 70 feet high, and the false work 60 feet. Two men were at work on the top They fell into the river, but escaped with a few scratches. They were J. P. Lynch, colored, and Bruce Conas. Lynch fell with the bridge, and landed on top of it. Conas fel®underneath the work, but, singularly enough, escaped with a few bruises. All the men employed were insured. You see the contractors, Baird Brothers, had in- sured the lives of all their employes in the Employes’ Insurance Company. The com- pany agrees to protect the contractors against all damage claims. I think the average amount of insurance on each man killed is $1,500, but cannot say Bodiively: Raird Brothers had been very successful bridge builders. There were four of them and two were killed in the accident. They were married men, of family, and are quite wealthy. They had just completed the great cantilever bri-ige at Memphis, which is the largest in the world, with one exception. They had never before met with such a dis- aatTous accident. The property loss is $10,- 00 Fourteen dead bodies have been taken out of the Newport side and eight from the Covington side of the river. There was great difficulty in ascertaining the exact number of the victims. The report varied from 15 to 100. Superintendent Sullivan says there were 73 men at work on the bridge when the crash came. Those who escaped were at work on the up-stream side of the work, which is to the south. They fell with the wreclk, but fortunately fell on top of it. Those onthe down stream side feil under the wreckage aud were killed and injured. Itis certain that those who can- not be found are lying at the bottom of the Licking river. ¢ It is thonght that in addition to the work- men caught in the wreck were a number of spectators, who were watching the men at work. The accident is supposed to be due ‘ to the heavy weight of the iron floor sup- ports, the false work not being strong enough. WIPED OFF THE EARTH, A Montreal Summer Resort Destroyed by a Cyclone.

Cnicaco, June 14.—A tornado raged in this city this afternoon. The rainfall was terrific. The full force of the wind struck the southwest corner of the Home Insur- ance building occupied by the Union Na- tional bank and blew in three large plate glass windows. J.J. P. Odell, President of the bank, was struck on the thigh by a fragment of glass and severely cut. | The great canvass canopy over the wig- wam, in which will be’ held the National Democratic Convention next week, was torn to tatters and so utterly ruined that the contractors determined to use instead a timber roof.

A Tornado Tears Through Minnesota, Wrecking Several Towns and Kill- ing Scores of Persons. MixxeAroLts, June 18.—Dispatches from Mankato, Minn., say that one of the worst disasters that ever visited Southern: Minne- sota occurred Friday. The terrible funnel shaped tornado again stalked abroad “over the land and laid wast scores of happy homes and sent 40 or 5) souls to eternity. The extent ofthe country ‘swept by this awful visitation was greater than ever be foré’known in the history Of the State, and fortunate, indeed, if i§ that no town or vil- lagé'lay in its"destr active course. i Starting near Jackson, on the Southern Minnesota division of the Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul railroad, funnel-shaped clouds swept eastward and passed four miles south of Minnesota lake, and then took a broad circle to the south and passed away south of Wells. About 5:30 a circling black cloud was seen rapidly advancing and demolishing every- thing in its course. It struck a district school house, in which were the teacher and 18 scholars. The building was demolished and the teacher and 15 scholars killed. At Easton three buildings were des royed and several people injured. Linden was visited, and many houses were torn from their foundations. One famaly, consistin of a man, his wife and child, were killed, and others injured. The storm passed on eastward, destroying farmhouses, barns, and in fact everything in its path. Four miles south of Minnesota Lake five farmhouess and other buildings were caught in the storm and utterly demolished. “Four people were killed here. t yany heartrending scenes occurred dur- ing the night. The log house of a Bohem- ian family, near Minnesota Lake, was blown entirely away, not one log remain- ing. The family of a man, wife and six children spent the night miserably in the srain without shelter. They huddled to- gether upon a heap of straw, and with a piece of sheet trie toward off the cold wind and never-ceasing rain that chilled them to the bone. S Superintendent Earling is in receipt of the following telegram, dated at La Crosse coming via Mankato: ; Train No. 23, on the Mankato line found obstrue- tion on the track about four miles south of Minnesota Lake, with two houses blown down and the ocou- pants lying around badly injured. They cleared the track, and piczed up the wounded and took them to Minnesota Lake. Another reads: - 24 at Mapleton. disastrous. - Number 23 found a snow fence, timber and other material on the track, and several peop.e killed in the neighborhood. Many were injured. & LATER REPORTS. At Spring Valley damage aggregating £50,000 was done. Large, heavy clouds came up in the west, gathering thick and fast, when without warning the heavens broke loose with constant ightning and heavy peals of thunder. ~The rain came down in torrents, Spring Valley Creek avas quickly swelled to its utmost. Then the bursting of a heavy cloud about nine o'clock made the little stream a raging torrent, raising it to five or six feet above the highest mark it ever reached, carrying averything in the way peforeit. = #4 & & pr The first damage done was that of lighing the house occupied by a Mr. MnrDuggan an carrying it down against the iron bridge, demolishing everything in it, andsMrs. Mc- Duggan herself was not rescued until the house had anchored. ik The following is partial list of the ki n the vicinity aE Wells: Alfred Frederick, John Brown, Mrs.” John Brown, Andrew Pietras, Mrs. John Lalusick, Herman Brew- er; a:daughter of Amdyew Melchert, John Ivorson and three childgen; child in the family of Andrew.

At Hartland five people were killed and many wounded. hen the center of the cyclone approached Winnebago City, it seemed as though that village was fated and the greatest consternation prevailed there for a few minutes. The river seemed to divide the tornado, and one-half turned southeasterly ‘and one-half northeasterly. The southern funnel swept around south of Wells and circled in to the east. FIFTY KILLED IN ONE PLACE. Ten are reported killed in the neighbor- hood Mapelton, and 20 injured. .The north- ern half of the cyclone was the more de- structive. Tt passed northeasterly about four miles south of Minnesota lake, and not a building in its path was left standing, while many people were killed or wounded. The country «evastated is one of the most pros- perous sections of the State, and the houses were thickly dotted over the prairies. cores of those houses were destroyed, and it is estimated the loss of ?ife will foot up to from 30 to 50. Wherever a building was dertsoyed, it was so totally and utterly demolished that not a vestige of it is left. At one place where the cyclone struck, eight houses in suc cession were destroyed, and at another the place was so completely washed off the face of the earth that no trace of it or its occu- pants could be found, though search was made. Four miles north of Wells the storm raged in unrestrained fury. At Anthony Mal chert’s, the wife and a little girl were at home, and after the storm the wife was found in the grove clinging to a tree with one hand and hanging to the little girl with the other. In a pasture-a few rods from the house were 15 dead cattle. Here the buildings’ and a grove of perhaps 100 large trees were literary crushed into the ground, and how the woman ahd child escaped death is a marvel. The devastated territory was to-day cover: ed with a flood of water, and throagh the deep mud, on horseback and in wagons, hundreds of people searched for some trace of their homes, some wind-tossed souvenir of their lost possess ons, or for the faces of missing friends. 2 davs before the full sum of the disaster is known. ¥ LIGHTNING KILLS THREE PERSONS IN CHICAGO.
