Fonr Madison, la., May 0. Without
a word of warning, in the midst of a
frightful storm, the castbound trans
continental express on tho Atchison,
filled with human beings wrapped In
slumber, plunged through a trestle
weakened by rain, to death, at about
1:45 o'clock yesterday morning, between
Revere and Mcdlll In Missouri, about
26b miles from Chicago.
It was a frightful night The rain
fell as it never hud been known to fall
before, and an occasional flash of light
ning could be seen in the gloom. Tho
grout express had come through
from San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Mexico to Kansas City on time. On ar
riving at Kansas City ut 4:40 on Wednes
day afternoon orders were received to
hold It until 0:40 nnd run to Chicago on
tho tlmcof tho Denver limited, which
wns very lato.
At 0:40 tho train composed of a postal
car, a baggago car, chair car, a tourist
sleeper und two Pullman conches com
menced its run to Chicago. All went
well until a pile and trestle brldgo over
tho Fox river near Revere was reached.
This bridge Is 220 feet long und thirty
six feet high. Two hours before tlio
transcontinental express struck tho
brldgo a heavy freight train passed over
It In safety but the heavy rains had
swollen tho torrent which raged bo
ncnth the rails to a miniature Niagara,
which had curried thu bridge out of
lino but left it standing, and so far as
the engineer ori tho locomotive could
see, all right
Tho engine crossed In safety, but not
tho balance of tho train, for the brldgo
went down with Its precious load, only
tho engine and rear sleeper remaining
on either end of tho abutments. Thu
other part of tho train was precipitated
into tho swiftly flowing waters which
coursed through the ravine below.
Five cars with their load of human
freight wearied with a long trip, and
tho remains of the bridge sank together
In one conglomeration of crushed tim
bers, torn and twisted Iron work und
mangled humanity.
Men sprang from the windows of tho
wrecked ears and lighting their way
through the whirling waters filled with
debris reached tho banks and fell to the
ground exhausted. Seven sank In tho
wreck to die. Thirty-eight are known
to have been injured.
