THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE CATASTROPHE

SCENES OF AGONY.

‘SHORT BUT GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION,

-_

(From the Examiner's New York Corres- pondent. ) New Yor, May 30, 1883. Decoration day, (May 30th,) has become one of our most popular and generally absord holidays. Thirty thousand troops were received in the morning by President Arthur from Maidson Square. After the parade, the new bridge was the

attraction, and thousands, and tens of thousands flocked to see and cross it. All went well till a little after 3 p. m.,

when the crowd became so great that its motion ceased.

Then came a cry of fire ! and

A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE occurred.

Half a dozen steps lead to the bridge proper on the the New York side, and here scores were mangled, torn and crushed beyond recognition.

Chamber's Street hospital near by, where forty-five bodies were taken, thirteen of whom soon died, or were dead.

screams which are STILL RINGING IN MY BARS.

Street trying to gain admission to the hospital to minister to the wants and relieve the suffering of their friends and relations, only to be turned back by the gruff unfeeling officers on duty.

| At this hour, no estimate can be placed ‘upon the number of killed and wounded. The former will not likely be less than thirty. S.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The New York Evening Telegram of the 30th, gives the following account of the disaster :—At about four o’cloek a long line of people on foot in the centre walk of the structure going from and coming to this city thickened, swelled and stopped in_ its motion just at the stairs leading up from | the concrete roadway to the bridge proper. | Strong men and feeble women, manhood and infancy were wedged together in that \jam by the fearful pressure of a crowd Which extended miles, one might say, on, ‘either end of the line.

HELD AS IN A VISE.

It was a remorseless, fearful, stupid force | that held its victims as immovable as the stone foundation of the bridge itself. ‘The stoppage lasted nearly an hour, during | which time scores of people fainted. To |

| !

‘relieve the jam the bridge officials removed | some of the iron paling a few feet from the! stairway on the New York side when, of | _course, those unfortunate enough to be near ‘the opening, weak and fainting at the death, ; ‘as they were, immediately fell helter skelter, ‘heels over head, down on the jagged, ‘yravelly road beneath—a mass of bruised, | | discolored human flesh. Scores were | ‘trampled upon instantly, and to stumble. was death. Men were dragged out of that, heap of helpless humanity with faces blue) as indigo and the life blood trickling out of | their nostrils. Children and women ald ‘dishevelled and dead. THE DEAD AND DYING,

The roadway on either side of the walk was strewed with dead and dying—a piti- able sight, and yet, it is said, no efforts’ were made by the bridge officials to stop | people coming on the bridge. Dead and | dying were carried off in wagons, carts, &c., improvised on the moment for the service, ; and it was a long time before the police ar- rived and anything like order restored that an ambulance appeared. Meanwhile, teams were rushingeboth ways at full gallop over the roadways—why no one could tell— threatening the limbs and lives of those on foot who were attempting to assist the un- fortunate victims.

Police shouting themselves hoarse— “Clear the way !’” wagons rattling over the rough stones, men and women crying in all] directions—made it a Bedlam indeed. A party of men in uniform did yeomen’s service at the spot as volunteer police to check the vulgar and curious.

'

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

A terrible accident occurred on the Brooklyn bridge on the 30th. The bridge was packed to its utmost capacity by people coming from both ends. In aerush that occurred, apparently by accident, some fifteen persons, mostly women and children, were killed outright or fatally injured.

One theory is that the panic was started by pickpockets. Between the cables there had been, only a few minutes before the panic, one of the blockades common at this point. This blockade was broken by the bridge policemen. The stream of pedes- trians was steady and large, although there was no extraordinary throng moving in either direction at the time. There was, however, an unusual crowd in this par- ticular section of the bridge, resulting from the biockade which had just been broken, and it seems to have been just at the time that this crowd reached the steps that the disaster occurred. Some say that a child was thrown down by a gang of pickpockets; others say a man fell first and others that a woman was the first victim. The foot- path is already worn smooth as glass by the constant trampling of hundreds of thousands of feet. It might not have proved a serious

valamity if the rush frum abvve could have

been stopped, but the current from above was as RESISTLESS 4S NIAGARA.

Peoplecoming down knew nothing of what was happening until they were right upon the steps ; there was no one to stop them. Staiwart men broke over the restraiut that others sought to impose,and trampled their way over the upturned faces of those who were prostrated. The shricke and moans and cries of chilcren were terrible. After the dead and wounded were removed a large number of pools of blood could be seen around the steps. As far as learned there was no one at the scene whose author- ity was at once recognized, and there is no telegraph service on the bridge. Detective Mangin dropped over the fence snd rushed to the New York entrance notified the toll

gatherers that there had been an accident, and asked them to STOP FURTHER TRAFFIC.

This they refused to do withont orders from higher authority. On the Brooklyn side not so much ever was done. Messengers were sent by the police to the Brooklyn side with word to the same effect, but ao heed was paid to the message. At last people at the New York end understood what was happening the gates were closed and word was sent to close the gate in Brooklyn. One account of the disaster says a half a dozen rovghs hunched themselves 300 feet above stairs, laid their hands on each other’s shoulders and forced them- selves like wedges into the crowd, shouting wildly. _The crowd seemed to huve a herr- or of going up the steps, although the flight is only six feet high. They locked arms and

PUSHED FURIOUSL¥Y AGAINST THOUSANDS coming from Brooklyn. In a few minutes there was aslow yielding to the frightful pressure, and the front of the crowd was forced near to the edge. Women and children were screaming for help and men were shouting. Umbrellas and canes were thrown over the rails by people who madly began to fight their way out of the crush. At last with a shriek, a young girl Jost her footing, and fell down the lower ‘flight of steps. She raised herself on her hands and would have got up, but in a moment she was

BURIED UNDER THE BODIES OF OTHERS, who fell over her. A man sprang upon the rails and waved the crowd back from New York and Brooklyn, but people continued to crowd on. The bridge policemen did not wear uniforms and were not recognized as officers in the crowd. Those on the outer edge of the crewd clutchod desperate- ly at the railing, but the tremendous pressure tore them loose and swept them on with bleeding hands towards the next truss. Men struck out right and left at those who pressed against them. Girls

SHRIEKED THEMSELVES INTO HYSTEKICS,

One old man plied his cane vigérously on all sides. A drunken woman scratched and bit like a frenzied cat at every face and arm within reach. A little girl, erushed between two laborers, was by their com- bined strength lifted and held up senseless and bleeding atthe nose and mouth. From every thrvat came frantic shrieks of terror and agony, which added to the excitement made the danger worse Several who at- tempted to climb upon or cling to the rail- ing had ARMS OR LEGS BROKEN, A woman who got upon the rail fainted, and would have fallen to the street had not two men cavght her by the ankles and lowered her to » beam, where they held her until] assistance came. First to be lift- ed out of the mass of crushed and bleeding humanity was a boy ten years of age. His ace had been trampled te pulp. .A young woman almost nude was laid on the drive and died almost instantly. A man about 35, was next. A young woman with broken rib protruding through ker breast was carried across the track. Vigorous efforts swere made to resusci- tate those who seemed to be lifeless. Ice water was brought from the New York entrance, and the doctors in the crowd volunteered their services. It was not until the dead wagons came into Park Row that the public knew any- thing of the catastrophe. Wagons were followed off the Bridge by WOMEN CRYING :

for children, and men crying for wives; some women were half naked, many in rays.

There were hundreds of women dishevel- ed and crying; their faces were white and they were covered with dust, end dirt.

_——-— +

“The two greatest masters of English eloquence” are, according to fhe London News, Mr. Gladstone and Mr, Bright. **Mr. Gladstone continues to be ready, vig- orous, full of resource, and eloquent as ever, Nor in Mr. Bright’s case does it seem that age has brought any decay to his faculty of eloquence. Orator as he is, in some qualities the greatest English crator of his day, he never appears to have had any- joy in speaking, ot even any inclina- tion or impulse to speak, except when it was actually necessary that he should plead acause. The country is proud of the two men,and proud especially of the work which ithey have done together.”

The opinion of one outside of the actual fray, who is not excited by the blows of party warfare, elated by the charge or dis- spirited by the retreat, is always valuable, the Boston Advertiser briefly reviews the ression of Parliament just closed, It refers to the measures passed with approbation, and concludes by saying “thus the session, though protected, has been proportionately fruitful.” The Globe and its following, try to make out that nothing of importance was done during the recent session, but the press both of England and America have again and again referred to the important legislation introduced and carried to a successiful issue by Sir John Macdumald.
