The crash occurred on a sharp curve, one mile west ot Charleston, 11!. A confusion of orders received over the telephone is sald'tc have been the cause of the accident The cars approached oach other at :i high rate of speed and the impact was so terrific that the motor car anil trailer were telescoped by the traction car. There was no warning and few passongers had time to escape by jumping. The passengers, nearly all of whom were on route to the Colet county fair at Charleston, wore crushed or maimed where they sat In tholr seats. Some of them who es caped and who were able to spunk said the scene at the wreck was grewsomc. The dead and dying were jammed together in n mass. Women woro shrieking with pain nnd children were crying for mothers who were thought to bo among the dend. When the news of tho wreck reached Mnt toon, special cars werothurried to the scone and tho dend and Injured were brought to the morgue and hospital hero Some of the Injured are in a critical condition nnd there is little hope of their recovery.

Tho dead and injured wore ex. ' traded from tho broken mass of tlm-1 hers and seats. First aid was given tho maimed nnd bruised- and the dead were laid alongside the track. Tl.oj ! victims could not be laken to Charles- j I ton, bfcause the track was blocked ' j In that direction and consequently I wore brought to this city.

Several engineers ' visited the scene of the bridge dlsas-' ter. It was evident, they said, that there had been a miscalculation of the , tensile strength in some spot, that ' the weak spot had given way under tho strain of hundreds of thousands . of tons of steol and that this had upset ' the balanced proportions of the struc ture and caused the collapse. Bridge employes were busy looking for. bodies among tho piles of iron ' which Ml on tho shore. Wonun wen sitting mi logs weeping and as a b dj was brought ns-hore there was a wild rush to see if It was that of a lost relative. As the bodies wcie found they were carried to one of the com pany's buildings. The general esti mate of the number of dend Is seventy. The number of dead victims, as stated at the olllce of the Phoenix Bridge company, Is 18 Canadians, 28 Indians and 17 Americans, but the ofllclals would not give out any nnnies at pies out. They also state that five Cnna dlans, four Indians nnd throe Amer lenns are injured. The Quebec Brldg comnany's ofllclals place the numbe of dead at seventy-eight.
