Spectat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune Sr, Louis, Mo., Dee, 9.—The morning brought crowds to the scene of lust night's djsaster at St. Charles, Mo, From the unnks of tho river could ve seen the jagged ends of tho pleces oo cach side of tho broken span, which stood out 1m clear rollef, and between them here and there broken inasses of curs und sections of the bridge ap- peared aboye the rushing stream. The spac dropped out bodily from tne piers, toaving not ube vestige—not even a bar—to show that tt bud ever stood In Ite splendid beauty and appar ept strength. Inmnediately against Pier No, 4 the western end = of -tho spat, tully twenty curs ile pled In untold confusion, amass of car-plutforms with tops swept clean from them, car-wheela and truck-beams torn from the platforms. {none pite were hundreds of how—alive, dying, and dead. Wheels wero ehapped ii two und axtes twisted Ike strings. In the middle, between tho piers, Iles a huge section of the broken span, with twonty fect of clear water on euch side, Within this section fa the back end of the only cur above water, on whick brikemun C,H. Qblinger was clinglag when rescued. ‘Tho top of the cnr bne gone, but the back, side, and brake stand above water. Near plier No. ls ANOTHER SECTION OF. THE SPAN.

Workmen were cugaged thls morning tearing _ down tho disabled telegraphewires and putting up new ones. At the wreck were C. Shaler Sinith, Col. MolKissock, A. .L, Hopkins, First VicosPresident; W. F. ster- i), General Superintendent of tho Cnfcayo Division: J.C. Ganes, Genoral Manager; F. R. 3now, General Agent at Detroit, who returned py special carte St, Louly this’ morning; and others. Capt. Smith, the architect of tho struc: ture, Was very reticent as to the disaster and tuo probabilities of it, He sald ho contd not ace count forlt, Ile had perfect coniidence in the oridge, and thinks that it would have been Ime possible for the spin to bave given way without forme unusual cause, His contidence In tho structure ig unimpaired. He.says the work wus ab experiment, and the improvement made aince Its construction makes it TUF BEST FORM OF BRIDGE MADE, Capt. Smith bas no theory is to the cause of tho uceident, and siys be must seo the wreck first. Many theories are advanced, and tndignation ritns high agalnet the company. Tho theory whicn Shaler Smith oredita is bused on the story of the night watchman, Churics Shinks, who de- cldred that the engine exploded, The fireman and brakeipan Medenp deny tho story positively. The enginecr on the Ward Bates, who bas been Identified with bridge-building for many years, wns interviewed by tho reporter, Hu antd he hud perfect confidence fy the bridge, and think there must have been an unusual cause. Tho explosion of the engine he thinks tho most plausible theory.
