work nnd part of the middle span of tlio j
Loulsvlllo and JpfTerwinvlIlo rnllmatl
briilRe, In course of erection across tlio
Ohio river, imve way yesterday, nnd with
nil the workmen wns precipitated 110 feet
Into tho water below. There wns hut n
moment's warning, and those who escaped
going down with the muss of Iron nnd
timber stnrted for tho piers after tho first
trembling that indicated the kIvIuk way
of tho fnlso work.
Tho accident wns n horrible one, nnd is
the last of a long list of catastrophes that
have marked the construction of this
bridge. Tho foreman, in beginning work,
noticed that during the night the "trav
eler" had been worked loose by the wind.
An order to drnw It back into place was
given, nnd the men nnd engines started.
The wind wns high at the time, nnd tho
general swaying of the false work grad
ually got the traveler oft the base on
which It was resting. When tho end
slipped the whole trembled, nnd tho men,
realizing their (lunger, started for the
piers. The central bent wns the first to
give way, nnd the men on this bent went
down, to be covered by the tnnns of iron
nnd timbers of the other bents which fell
almost ininirdintely after, carrying with
them the other workmen who failed to
rench the piers. The north bent, or tho
one attached to the Indiana pier, did not
full for fifteen mlnutos after the other
parts went down.
Without a Moment's Warulnp;.
As near as can be ascertained there wpro
fifty-one men on the bridge when tho
nlarm was given by the engineer In chnrge
of the work. Of this number several suc
ceeded In reaching thepiprs. Of thosethnt
wont clown some were covered by a mass
of timber, from beneath which it will be
days hofore their bodies nre recovered
The greatest number of fatalities occurred
when the first bent gavo way. A few min
utcs later a bent on which thero was hut
little of the bridge proper gave way on the
Indlnna side, in this It is believed that
hnt one unknown man wns killed. He wns
conght by n rope and dragged beneath tho
water.
The crash attracted tho attention of
those on theshore and many turned away
their eyes as they saw the men struggling
in ruld-nir in their mad efforts to climb
out of danger. Whpn the huge mass of
material struck tho water all wns con
cealed for an Instant by tho spray that
was thrown high In tho air. As the water
subsided here and there could be seen men
struggling desperately to climb upon the
timbers that thrust their ends nbovo the
water. A few succeeded in clinging to
places of safety, and were quickly rescued
by boats that put out from the shores.
Others struggled desperately and were
carried ofT by the current to sink almost
ns rescue was at hand.
George W. Brown, one of the foremen
in charge of eight men, had a remarkable
and very thrilling experience. When tho
crash came the nine men made it dash for
the Kentucky side of the bridge. Before
they reached s-afety, however, the spnn
fell and the workmen were precipitated
into the river.
Foreman Itrnwn's Miraculous Ksenpo.
Sir. Brown held his breath during tho
fall, nnd remembers going to the bottom
of the river. Tho debris was piled far
above him, but he managed to crawl from
under it. lie Is an expert swimmer, nnd
attempted to put this practice to use, but
then, for the first time, he discovered that
his left arm wns broken In three places.
He managed to grnsn n floating piece of
timber with his right arm, and floated
down the river until rescued.
The wives and children of the workmen
llvo near the bridge, nnd they were soon
at the river hank. Many were wild with
grief, and rushed frantically about wring
ing their hands and tearing their hair.
The office of thobridgo company on Camp
bell street wns beselged with anxious
mothers and wives inquiring for their
loved ones. Half an hour after the acci
dent there were nt least 3,000 peoploontho
river bank, nnd as the news spread they
still poured in in a steady stream towards
the place of the accident.
To whose doors must he laid the re
sponsibility for the terrible disaster will
probably never lie known. It is doubtless
one of those unforseen accidents thatoconr
In spite of all precautionary measures.
General opinion ascribes the cause of the
disaster to the stiff wind that had been
sweeping the river all day. It bore with
great Ion e mi the ponderous framework,
which necessarily became loosened from
the constant strain and swaying of the
heavy Umbers.
OaummI by a nvj Wind.
A great number of people before the
first span fell could see the great "trav
eler" rising eighty feet above the piers,
swaying and quivering in the wind in
what appeared to be n most alarming
manner to those on shore. The motion,
however, was hardly noticeable to the
workmen, and they had no idea of their
deadly peril until the great mass of wood
and iron began to sink.
To the great "traveler" alluded to is
directly attributable the falling ot tho
span. The constant wind bore it from its
resting place on the last pier but one on the
Jcffersonvilleslde. This displacement was
discovered and the work of putting it
back in plaoe was liegun, but It was too
late. The centre of the great span began
to sink liefore the work was accomplished.
The third span of the bridge collapsed
at 8i9f) last nlgbt. Bo far as known there
was no one injured. This spau bad been
completed, but the collapse of the fourth
span is supposed to bave loosened aud dis
placed it.

A History or Ilnlers,
The history of the Louisville and JefTer
sonvllle Bridge compnny Is a series of dis
asters, financial and otherwise. It was
originally projocted in 1S70, and failure
overtook It In Its very Inclplency. In 18M3
it wns revived under new charter, and
ground was broken in October, ISHil.
Jacob K. Kreigcr, the lending spirit,
broke himself and the Masonic bunk, of
IiOUisvillo, in furthering the project, and
finally sank himself Into an untimely
grave under a load of ills resulting from
the multiplied disasters ranted by tho
bridge. The enterprise languished sev
cral times, anil nt one time it looked as If
those who had projected it would reap
nothing but loss. However, in March
Inst they succeeded In disposing of tho
property to a syndicate under terms that
were considered very ndviiutngeoiis to
them. It Is estimated by the engineers of
tho Phienix Bridge company that tho
lossto the bridge will boat least ?17.r,000.
Two caisson nreidentH took place during
the building of the piers. The first wns
caused by the cupidity of a sub-contrac
tor, who engaged himself n an expert
when he was without experience. He ul
lowed the air to escape from the caisson,
and tho water rushed In, drowning four
teen men. The second cuisson nccldent
resulted from the foolhnrdlness of tho
foreman in the niHungemeut of the struc
ture and caused the death of seven men.
Several minor accidents occurred between
times.
The Kant I'.nd Improvement company
hns been net ins as limited agent in tho
construction of the bridge under the re
organization of last March, when the
property was disposed of to n syndicate
controlled by three railronds, generally
believed to be the Big Four, Chrsupenko
and Ohio and Baltimore, Ohio nnd south
western. For the purpose of completing
the bridge nnd providing suitable facill
ties a guarantee of $.",000,000 wns author
ized, $1,000,000 of which was to bo held in
reserve. This gave new llfo to tho enter
prise, and the work of completing tho
structure bus been going on rapidly since,
The span that gave way was tho 1,-iBt but
one needed to complete the structure.
