THJUTKKN LIVES LOST.

SAN KKANCISCO, May 31.—Ono of tho most horrible railway accidents ever known in California occurrod at 1:40 o'clock Friday afternoon, when a local train ci meeting at Oakland with tho ferryboats from San Francisco ran through an open draw bridgo ovor San Antonio creek at Wobster crook, Oakland. Tho yacht Juanita had just passed through the draw when tho train appeared, going in tho direction of Alameda. The draw-brldgo keeper endoavorbd at onco to close the bridgo, but it was too late, and the engine and tendor and tho first car, which was filled with passengers, plunged into tho estuary, which was hore quite deop. Enginoor Sam Dunn and Fireman O'Brien went down with tho ongino, but were picked up and immediately disappeared. Tho formor, when ho saw that tho bridgo did not close, reversed tho levor, but the momentum of tho engine was too groat to be stopped in time. The weight of tho engine and tho first car broke the couplings and left tho other two cars of the train standing on tho track. Tho second car ran about one-third of tho way across the bridge and stopped, but tho jar was sufficient to break open tho front of tho car. and many of the passongors were thrown into Mm water.

The first car, which had followed tho engine to tho bottom of the muddy estuary, soon rose, and such of the passengers as bad escaped therefrom wore picked up by yachts and small boats which had gathered at tho sceno.

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

The trainmon and tho surviving passengers lent their aid to the wurk of rescue, and when the wrecking train arrived from Oakland tho car w»t drawn into shallow water and tho small boats began dragging the crock for bodies.

Tho top of the passenger coach was cut open as soon as it was raised above the water and the work of removing the bodies commenced, ten being taken out in quick succession. Threo women and three girls were taken from the water alive and removed to the rocoiving hospital. Another young woman died soon after being taken from the water.

The news of the accident creatod Intense excitement in Oakland, and thousands of people Hocked to the mprguo

A list of the dead so far as identified is as follows: Martin Kelly. Oakland, assistant State wburllngcr A. II. Austin, of Austin & Phelps, San Francisco Mrs. Florence Austin Mrs. llryan O'Connor: J. 13. Invln, sewing-machine agent, Oakland K. K. Rol)lnson, Sun Franeiseo: Luigi Mulesto, San Francisco: Captain John Dwyer. Sacramento Mr. Williams, San Francisco: 11. W. Auld (colored). Honolulu two Misses Keenan Captain Thomas Dwyer.

F. 1'. Finley, of San Francisco, one of the passengers, said: *'I was seated on tho front seat, of the first car facing the engine. As wo drew near the bridge it seemed to mo that the draw was open. Just then a man jumped from the engine into the water and then came a crash. The next thing I knew the car was in the water and I found myself blindly groping for thoi door, which I fortunately reached and opened. When I found m.vself on the platform I gradually worked my way the roof, which I had just reached when that end of tho car roso out, of the wator and quite a number of people escaped in this manner, principally women and children. The car was about two-thirds full when wo left the wharf, and I should judgo there were at least twonty-five to thirty people in it"

George T. Hawley, of Oakland Heights, was in tho car that went over, but escaped. Ho said there were about forty people, including children, in the car.

Tho frame of tho car has been raised and it is believed there are no more bodies in the wreck.

Thousands of people flocked to tho sceuo of the disaster and tho street loading to the bridge was crowded with vehicles and hurrying men and women. So great was the crowd at tho drawbridge that the polieo had to drivo the people off for fear tho great weight would upset tho bridge and cause another catastrophe. The wildest rumors of the extent of loss of life were circulated, and many people from San Francisco went across tho bay to look for friends who were supposed to boon the train. When vows of tho disaster reached Mountain View Cemetery. where hundreds of Oakland people were decorating graves, a panic was created a.id men, women and children rushed into town. The cars of the narrow gauge road seat about fifty peoplo and the seals are very close together. Conservative estimates place tiio number of people ill the car at about thirty, thirteen of whom lost their lives.

The water over which the bridgo Is built is an estuary of San Francisco bay and is commonly called Uakland creek. A strong current runs in tho stream, which at tho point of tho accident is about300 feet wido and 20 feet deop. Both sides of tho creek are lined with shipping, and boatmen from those vessels wero ot groat asin rescuing thoso who

Tho drawbridge is about 100 foot long, and just bpforo trains from San Francisco got on th3 bridge they have to come round a sharp curve and usually travel at a high rate of speed. A passenger train crosses tho bridge every half hour during the day, and when the bridge is open tho keeper is supposed to signal by hoisting a r»itl Hi,jr. •I. K. Dunlap, tho bridge-tender, says tho red danger (lag was vronerly set in tne center ot tlio track wtien tho brlag® wasrswung open for tho yacht Juanlta to iMiss. Tho boat had just gone through an4 the bridgo was being swung back the train appeared. He supposed the engineer did not see tho signal on ace.-uni of tho curve. Tho stories of thi engineer and fireman have not been obtained, as they disappeared as soon as rescued.
