RAILROAD WRECK AT ATTICA.

Passenger Train on Wabash Goes Goes Through River liriitgc—- :? Killed, jjr> Injured. Three persons were killed and 3•" J injured, some very seriously, at j^-t-, tic a- Sunday afternoon, when the 1 Wabash bridge gave way and three coaches of Wabash train So: 4, the ' (’on mental Limited, fell into the river. The tact till at the train was made up of steel coaches saved Tar greater casualties. About, noon a refrigerator car jumped the track at t|ie esafend of the bridge, throwing the span out of line and pending one of the vertical supports about two feet. The wrecking crew Had just in clearing the tracks and the slip- 8 erintendent of the crew had examined the bridge and reported it safe to the train dispatcher. Train No. 4 started over the bridge, running very slowly. As the big engine passed onto the east span, : the bridge wavered for a moment and then crumbled to the first pier, 150 feet from the last end of the bridge. The engine had just reached the end of the bridge when the crash came, and it toppled off aiid turned over, turning upside down and half burying itself in the grade. The engineer and fireman were both killed. -.* ■

The mail car fell upon (he east bank of the river. There were six mail clerks in the car. Its steel construction saved them from death. The car fell 30 feet. The second car, combination express, baggage and smoker, struck-the east bank of the river at the water’s edge, the smoking apartment being. submerged up to the windows. One of the express messengers was instantly killed. The occupants 6f the smoker escaped by climbing through the windows. The day coach immediately following lodged one end against the pier and the front of the car ahead,

This car was also of, steel and practically filled with passengers, a n of whom were badly shaken j up and Wedged in the forward end by live angle of the car.
