DROWNED,

A Sad Kr»11ng to a Revival Meeting. Tw« Women Drowned.

(We copy from the Express of thf« morning.] While on his usual rounds last evening in search of newt, an Express reporter was startled be the information that a wagon containing fourteen persons, on their way to a revival meeting at Macksville, had been thrown off the trestle on the grade west of the city and three of the party drowned. He immediately turned his steps in the direction of the disaster to gain some definite information upon the subject. In the vicinity of the river bridge everything was as quiet as usual. Not a soul was to be seen. The lamps, placed at regular intervals in the bridge were glimmering and gave the surroundings a cavernous appearance which was not diminished by the sullen rushing sound of the river which rolled underneath. After emerging from the bridge and commencing the walk upon the grade eveiything looked gloomy indeed more so than under ordinary cir cuinstances, considering the object in view. The narrow grade, the water on each side of it, and the lights glimmering through the darkness away in the dig tance on the spot where men were at work searching for the bodies, were cal culated to arouse gloomy feelings even in the light heart of a reporter. When about half the distance had been travers ed a wagon surrounded by a large crowd was met. Upon inquiry the reporter was informed that it contained the body of one of the victims, Miss Hanna, who was being taken back, a corpse, to the home which she had left only two hours before in perfect health. Arriving at the place where the accident happened there was found the usual large crowd of persons who are possessed of that morbid curiosity which always attracts them to such scenes as this. They lingered around a help to nobody and oftentimes in the way of those who wanted to work. The trestle was crowded, not only witli men, but those whose presence would be least expected at such a time—women. Working his way 'through the crowd, he found the bridge caretaker, Peter Mc Kcnna, and Officer Coughlfn, with lamps, aiding two men who were below the trestle in a boat, dredging tne river for a body No one present seemed to know much about what had happened or how it oc curred. All agreed that a wagon had been thrown over the embankment at the cast end of the trestle, on the north side of the grade that two ladies had lost their lives, and that one of the horses was drowned and the other rescued. No one was present who had witnessed the catastrophe. It seemed that all who were present when it occurred had left the scone as rapidly as possible. Some said the wagon contained eight others ten, and some insisted that the party consisted of fourteen. From Mr. McKenna it was learned that Mrs. Otterman and Miss Hanna were drowned that the body of the Utter had been recovered, and that they were now searching for the body of Mrs. Otterman. With the aid of a lamp a tolerably fair view of the place of the acci dent was obtained. It was at the east end of the trestle on the north side of the grade, within a few feet of the trestle. The slope of the side of the grade is very steep, and there is no protection whatever against accidents of this kind. The care lessness in allowing it to remain so long as it has deserves the severest condemnation. The grade is so narrow and the sides so steep that it is almost a miracle to escape an accident should a horse become restive. It ought to be widened and fenced its whole length. Looking over the side where the wagon and its human freight fell, It seemed about 30 feet. The wagon was standing in Its natural position in which it had been placed, in the search for the dead. Miss Hanna's body was found between the wheels, where it had caught. Mrs. Otterman must have been caught by the current and carried away, as the body could not be found near where the wagon retted. No one seeped to know at what time the accident occurred, but the opinion prevailed that It was about 9 clock. At half-past 10 o'clock all hope of recovering the body of ilr». Otterman was given up. and the search was discontinued. The reporter returned to the bridge with Pete McKenna who made the road more dismal still with stories of his experience as bridge tender of the grand opportunities offered far roMwry on the bridge after the lights am turned out. Arriving la the city agate the search commenced to obtain

THE PARTICULARS.

It was some time before any due could be found as to who composed the party, bat it was finally asceetained that a man by the name of Jos. M. Ellison, who lives at 1,428 Main street, was along, and NEWS reporter arrived there at midnight. Knocking at the door, it was opened by Ellison, who was perfectly white from fright, and In a state of excitement. He said that be is the driver of an express wagon, and was engaged yesterday afternoon to take a number of people from the city to Macfeeville, one mile west of the city, to a protracted meeting that is being held there. He was not acquainted with the party, but drove to Mont Rose school house, where he took in several, and from there to Second street, where there were several more in waiting. He says that when he started from the city there were fourteen person# in ali in the wagon. They left the river bridge at nearly 8 o'clock. There was a slight mist falling at the time, and the night intensely dark. The grade, asfs known, is high and narrow, and the willows along either side make the drive dark and dismal on a clear night. The horses were allowed to walk, and the party were in a happy mood, laughing and jesting, as the cumbersome vehicle moved slowly along. Ellison says that he kept a sharp lookout ahead, but, of course, could see but a few feet Suddenly, rfnd without warning, the wagon reeled, fell, and rolled down the north side of the grade, The river has been rising for several days, and now covers the bottoms between here and the bluffs. Of course, all went into the water. From this time, of course, Ellison can know but little of the occurrence. He remembers the screaming of the women, the splashing and noise made by the men, women and horses struggling in the water. He states that the water was no more than four feet deep, and that he carried two women to the shore. He does not know who they were. He was so frightened and excited that he could scarcely get home, which he did by riding the horse that escaped. This was all he conld tell about it, and after considerable difficulty in finding the road the reporter reached the residence of Samuel P. Hannah, after midnight this morning. The plaee is at 1,620 Oak street, and the house was filled with sympathizing friends, who were doing everything that possibly can be done at such a time for the terribly afflicted family. The body of the dead girl layon a pallet hastily prepared and the dimly lighted house out on the vacant prairie, the subdued moaning of the relatives and the hour all tended to make the occasion one of extreme solemnity. The father could give but an incoherent account of the affair, He says that he is the night watchman at the nail works and last night was the first for along time that he had off duty. His and a number of families in the southeast part of the city have been attending a religious revival at Mont Rose, conducted by Rev. Van Cleave. The meetings closed, and the above mentioned minister has been at Macksville for some time. Mr. Hannah had organized, a party, and had started over as above narrated. He remembers the names of the following who were along: Mrs. George M. Otterman, Mrs. W. R. Landrum, Mrs. Bell, Charles Meeker, Miss Ida Meeker. George Hughes, Misses Susie and Lizzie Helmkamp, his wife and daughter. He says there were fourteen in all, four gentlemen and ten ladies. The overturning was so sudden, and-it tyas so dark that the circumstances cannot be related, with a positive knowledge, Mr. Hannah succeeded in getting to shore, and amidst the screaming and general excitement did not know whether his wife and daughter were safe or not The crowd soon got together, however, and it was discovered that two of their number, Mrs. Otterman and Miss Ella E. Hannah, were missing. The loud cries of the bewildered party reached Macksville, and a number of men came to the scene. Search was immediately instituted, and in a short time the body of Ella, Hannah was found. In the struggle she had clutched a spoke in one of the wheels, and held to it with the death grip. The body was immediately taken home. The deceased was about seventeen years of age. She took great interest in religious matters, being a member of the Methodist Church, and her anxiety to attend the meeting at Macksville had induced her father to organize the unfortunate party. Mr. Hannah is a present candidate for constable on the Republican ticket, and is a man admired for his sterling qualities, The bereaved family has the sympathy of the community.

Thi* morning a number of rolling mill employes left for the place bearing torches and hooks. The body was found at 8 o'clock this morning, and was brought immediately to thi» city. It had floated around to a deep pool about one hundred yards south of the bridge or trestle. The deceased was the wife of expoliceman George M. Otterman, who is at present head blacksmith at the blast furnace. She was aboat thirty years of age, and was beloved by all who knew her. The** facts are gathered at a late hoar at night and if then? ace any in addition they will be brought out at the inquest to-1

day, and given ha the Xsw* to-morrow.
