A General Estimate of One Hun- dred Lives Lost. THRILLING INCIDENTS OF ESCAPE. Efforts to Raise the Debris of the Bridge. — Light on the Cause of the Great Loss of Life. Drxon, Ill., May 4, 1873, No other bodies of victims of the bridge disaster have been recovered at this point up to the present hour, but seven bodies have been picked up at Sterling, six miles below here, and doubtlesas the swift carrent has borne others still further down stream. The general estimate of the loss «a ninety to one hundred. As stated in a previous despatch, thirty-two bodies were recovered before Gark. Five bodies floated past the men at work at the wreck and have not been found. It is supposea that at least fifty bodies are still in the water; most of them, tt 1s supposed, are under the wreck of the bridge. The bridge, which was of iron, Trugsde'l’s pattern, and of five spans, was elevated about twenty-five feet above the river, which is from fifteen to twenty-five feet deep. Only the twoend spans fell; the three middle spans are standing, but in such a condition that it is thought they will fall when the wrecked spans are removed. Workmen are busy to-night putting up a derrick in order to clear the wreck, and making arrangements to secure the bodies beneath it. It 1g now stated that there were 300 persons on the bridge at the time of the accident, and that a greater number escaped than was at first sup- posed. WHEN THE BRIDGE GAVE WAY most of the people were gathered at either end, though a large number were near the centre, and some of the latter remained where they were after the crash aud were taken off in boats. Several per- sons jumped from their precarious resting place, and were drawn ashore. Two -horses attached to a buggy were on the middle span‘ when the crash came, and remain there still, as there is no way of getting them off. There were a number of remarkable escapes of children, of whom there were probably not less than fifty on the bridge. One little fellow, aged thirteen years, was caught by both feet in the iron rigging of one of the spans, and had a leg broken; but he managed by sheer strength to pull one of his boots off, and then coolly took out his knife and ripped the other boot from the crippled leg and swam ashore, Two littie girls, sistera, standing side by side, went down together. The elder caught the other by the dress with one hand, and with the other hand seized part of the wreck and main- tained their heads above the icy water until res- cued. No additional names of killed are yet known, Daring the night the workmen got the derricks in Position to raise the bridge, and until that tedious work is accomplished hardly anything further can be done. There are crowds of people on the banks of the river this morning viewing the scene of the disaster, the majority of whom are looking for missing friends. The telegraph wires are kept constantly in use with messages from all parts of the United States. Every house 10 the city ts in mourning. Mrs. P. M. Alexander and Mrs. Vance died this morning from the effects of their injuries. RAISING THE BRIDGE. The derricks for raising the fallen spans of the bridge were got in place shortly before noon te day and the work of recovering the bodies of the unfortunates under the bridge commenced. The following are those recovered to-day:—Mrs. c. wW. Kintner, Mrs. E. Hope, Robert Dike, Frank Hamilton, and Miss Nellie Hill. There are great numbers of people in the clty, and the river banks, near the scene of the accident, haye been lined to-day with people to witness the result of the search. It is certain there are other bodies sti beneath the ruins of the fallen spans, but how many it is im- possible to determine. Forty bodies, alto- gether, have been recovered so far, and it is believed that twelve or thirteen more are stillin the river. It is now believed that the number on the bridge at the time of the accident did not exceed 150, The wounded are nearly all doing well. The Coroner's inquest was commenced to-day. Nothing of interest was elicited, and the inquest was adjourned until to-morrow. CINCINNATI, May 5, 1873. Despatches from Dixon, Ill., after giving the par. ticwlars of the disaster, which are substantially the same as telegraphed last night, say the bridge, as torn aad broken, hangs from the piers, and is @n appalling sight in itself At each end men, women and children were crushed into the river, while at the north end, where the loss of life was greatest, the bodies were held firmly to the bottom of the river in the net-work of iron. Mrs. Daniel Cheeney, who, it was, feared, was fatally injured, is now better. Mr. Charies Murray, fractured bong of the leg and collar bone, and a severe flesh wound, but is doing well this morning. Mrs. Marray is also comfortable and better. Mrs. Ella Campbell, of Devoatown, was severely injured, but is doing well. . There were several buggies on the’ bridge, but, strange to say, no one in the vehicles was injured, and the horses also escaped. William S, Hillock’s horse and wagon are still on the bridge, and food for the horse has to be carried to it. Jacob Armstrong, Jtq went down in the crash, and was compelled to crawl on the bottom of the river out from under the sidewalk of the bridge, but, being an athletic young man, saved himself, and helped rescue several. Charles McBride also saved many lives. Colonel H. T, Noble made @ narrow escape; he held Mrs. Smith’s little child and went down with it, came up, saved the little girl and barely saved himeelf. Mrs, Nobie was several feet from her husband, but he could aot reach har in tha fall. because there was a mass of fauman beings between them. Tony Brant, a boy of eight years, clung to a plank and was picked up safe, half a mile below. Ed. Patrick leaped into the water and saved sev- eral lives, Will Daily, with noble energy, saved many lives, among them three women on a plank, whom he pushed to the shore. He then pulled off his coat and boots and swam to Dr. Hoffman, who was on & bar half way to tho railroad bridge, and rescued him, Willlam Dauntier saved several lives, Fred I. Snow saved five or six persons. Henry Woodcitt swam boldly into @ep water and rescued many. There were several bodies taken out of the river as far down as below the railroad bridge. The body of Fred Hope was found floating nearly a mile down the river this morning, We learn that all those re- ported missing are probably in the network of the bridge at the bottom of the river. After the nigpt’s work, under the superin- tendence of J.-C. gsacobs, of the Til nois Central Railroad, who kindly rendered much assistance, a derrick was erected, and it is hoped this morning the iron work wilt be lifted so that the bodies will be re- leased and recovered. Itis feared the extent of the calamity is not yet learned, for there may have been manyon the bridge from the country whose names have not been obtained, Light on the Disaster. Cnicago, Ilt., May 5, 1873, The following extracts from an extra published this morning by the Sterling Mills Gazette will give @ clearer idea of the manner and direct cause of the Dixon Bridge disaster than anything be- fore received:—The peovle were closely crowded on the footway and the immense weight, all on one side, was too much for the bridge. One of the cap stringers snapped asunder and allowed the north section to sag from the abutment, plunging into the river with its living burden. Between the foot and wagon-ways was a net work of iron braces, about nine fet high, and this toppled over on the mass of humanity who had been thrown into the river, and by it men? women and children were pinioned beneath the water without power to help themselves and too firmly bound by the weight of iron to be aided by their friends. It appears the bridge was constructed in such & manner as to make each section depend on others for support, and when the north section gave way, the balance sagged between the plers making a complete wreck of tho entire structure, So far as known no fatal casualties occurred on any section but the first, though several were seriously injured by be- ing crushed between the iron work. The special despatches received here to-night are filled with incidents attending on the fearful calamity, but add little to the main facts already telegraphed. The number still known to be miss- ing added to those whose bodies have been re- covered, makes the list of killed seventy-five, wounded thirty-two, of whom Mrs, Alexander and Mrs. Vaun have since died. Among the killed was Miss Bessie Paine, daughter of Mrs. M. L. Payne, editor of the Chicago Ladies’ Mogazine, ANOTHER BRIDGE ACCIDENT. Three Men Killed and Eight Wounded. Sr. Lovis, Mo., May 5, 1873, A terrible accident occurred yesterdgy afternoon at a bridge being erected over the Lanune River, on the northwestern extension of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, foyrteen miles from Sedalia, The talse works erected for facilitating the construction of the bridge sunk into the quick- sand, upon which it rested, carrying with it the bridge timbers and twelve workmen and precipi- tating all into the river below. William McAvoy, Peter Connor and Harry Finch were killed out- right and eight others were wounded, tWo of whom are not expected to recover. The bodies of the three killed were taken last night to Sedalia, where an inquest was held, and a verdict rendered that the insecure foundation of the false works was the cause of death. LOUISIANA, The Metropolitan Police Reported in a Fight—Hail Storm. * New ORLEANS, May 5, 1873. There was a heavy rain and hail storm this even- ing at New Iberia. It is currently reported here that the Metropoll- tans last night attacked the forces of Captain De Blanch, near St. Martinsville, and were repulsed with the loss of three men killed and two wounded. De Blanch 13 said to have 200 men, with one piece of artillery. It is stated that the Metropolitans were driven back into St. Martinsville, Lat New Inert, La., May 5, 1873. Later advices from St. Martinsville report the position of the Metropolitans to be precarious, The impression ts that they may at almost any mo- ment be overpowered by the tax-resisters under De Blanch, from St. Martin and adjoiming parishes, The people of this section seem determined to pay no taxes to the Kellogg government, unless com- pelled to doso by the United States forces, THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD IN A TIGHT PLACE. Aubany, N. Y., May 5, 1873, The sale of New York Centrai Railroad locomo- tives, by United States Collector Batley,’for gov- ernment tax, which was advertised for to-day, was postponed until the 12th tnstant. It is said that, owing to Judge Woodruf!’s decision against the company, they will now pay the tax. OBITUARY. Rigault de Genoutlly. M. Rigault de Genouilly, an Admiral of the French Navy, has just died, as reported to us by cable from Paris, He had, in the course of a very distinguished career, @rved the State as Senavor of France and Minister of Marine and the Colonies during the reign of Napoleon the Third. Admiral de Genouilly was sixty-six years of age at the moment of his demise. He was born at Rochefort! on the 12th of April, inthe year 1807, and emtered the Polytechnic School in the year 1825. He was strict in his every-day discipline and very atten- tive as a student, consequently he was commis- sioned at an het age. He was appointed as ensign on the 10th of Feb- ruary, in the year 1830, and made first lieytenant on the 6th of January, 1834. He was ointed to the rank of post captain in 1341, and made commander of La Victorieuse, which he held till 1848. His ship was wrecked on the Corean coast. For this he was tried by a council of war. The opinion of the court was completely in his favor, and the judges took occasion to pay ® compliment to bis courage and devotion under the trying circumstances of the wreck. He was commissioned captain in 1849. In the year 1354 he was attached to the French naval contingent operating for the siege of Sebastopol, and became commander-in-chief of the corps of disembarkation. He was made Rear Admiral on the 2d of December, the same year, In 1856 he was commissioned commander-in-chief of the fleet serving in the waters of Asia, and in this capacity signed with the Chinese government @ treaty of alliance and friendship between France and the ancient Eastern Empire, on the 27th of June, 1857. After this he moved his fleet to Cochin China and made himself master of Tourane and Saigon. He was elevated to the rank of vice-admiral and created @ Senator of France on the 11th of July, in the year 1360, and on the 27th of January, 1864, re- ceived the commission of admiral. The deceased Admiral was much esteemed by his countrymen, and his talent and patriotism universaily acknowl- edged by the peoples of foreign countries, a his name has been scarcely mentioned since the fall of Napoleon.

O’KE The President Determined Not to Inter-.) phe Herald Commissioner Sent to fere with the Military. General Sherman Forwarding | Reinforcements. Four Hundred Friendly Indians To Be Re- cruited to Fight Captain Jack—What a Volunteer Saw in the Lava Beds. WASHINGTON, May 5, 1873, The President is not now expected here until Friday night or Saturday morning. Secretary Belknap will not reach here until the latter part of next week. The President, it is under- stood, telegraphed General Schofield that he should not interfere with any of his plans for punishing the Modocs, ana would see that he was promptly reinforced. This is not to be understood as indicating the slightest difference of opinion between army ofll- cials at the War Department,.but as forcibly con- firming the President’s sentiments first expressed on hearing the nows of General Canby's murder— ‘{shall approve the utter extermination of the Modoc tribe, not as an act of vengeance, but as an act of justice.” General Sherman Pushing Forward: Re« inforcements—Four Hundred Indian Scouts To Be Employed. Wasntnaton, May 5, 1873. General Sherman, in conversasion on Modoo aifairs, shows that he fully appreciates the situa- tion, and has entered upon the subject with his characteristic energy. All the reinforcements re- quired will be sent to General Schofield without delay to the last man that can be spared. A regt- ment will be conveyed to Omaha to be in readiness for @ prompt movement. A body of 400 Indian scouts will be raised for service against the Modocs just as fast as fit men can be found. Senator Casserly has had several interviews with General Sherman, and is satisfied that no effort will be spared at headquarters to enable General Schofleld to tuflict on Cap- tain Jack and his fellow savages a blow that will not soon be forgotten by them or the other tribes on the Pacific coast. General Sherman has no fears of anything like a general Indian war. The Fight of the 20th of April—The Lava Beis and the Nature of the Ground—What a Volunteer Saw. WASHINGTON, May 5, 1873, Captain Hendiey, of this city, has received a letter, dated Lava Beds, April 20, in which the writer says:—“I have just come in from Jack's stronghold, where I have been in a fight for the last tnree days. I went as a volunteer, and was attached to Major Thomas’ battery of four Cohorn mortars, and it was the mortars which drove the Indians.out. Five thousand infantry could not have done it in six months, without the loss of one-half of the command. Words cannot describe the character ef these beds; newspaper reporters may try todo it, but they cannot convey an idea. ‘Since the fight I have been through part of the bed, and that was enough for me. It is impossible to tell what damage we have done to the Indians, as they concealed or burned their dead, and the former is very easy, an all they have to do is to merely throw the bodies into a crevice and then fill it up with*rocks. We have, however, found eleven dead bodies, The beds are full of caves, and many are undoubtedly hid away, for every once in a while a@ stray shot comes out; but the majority have got out, and there is no telling where they will turn ‘up. Our cavalry have gone out in pur- suit, We have here six dead, twenty wounded and about the latter number on crutches from sprained ankles from falling over the rocks. To give you some faint idea of the sharp rocks, one-half of our men went in with new shoes and came out mostly barefoot and witn feet bleeding. All Quiet in the Lava Beds. San FRANCISCO, May 6, 1873. A despatch from Yreka to-night says:—Camp south of Tulle Lake, May 3:~—Everything is quiet. Not a shot has been fired by either side since the afternoon of the 26th ult. A large fire was seen this evening in the direction of the place where Major Thomas’ com- mand was slaughtered, distant about five miles. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. An Excursion Train Upset by a Number of Cows—The Cars Run Over an Embank- ment—Large Number Injured. Lovisvinie, Ky., May 5, 1993, Advices from Princeton, Ind., last night state that an excurston train left that place on Saturday night on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad. for Mount Carmel, Ill, carrying about seventy-five persons. In backing the train from Mount Carmel to Princeton @ number of cows suddenly ran on the track, when Conductor Henry T. Haynes, who was on the rear platform, promptly sigpalled the engineer; but it was too late. The cars ran over the cows and plunged down an embankment eight feet high, turning the cars bottom upward. The passengers were immediately in a@ terrible state of confusion and terror, and a number of them were seriously injured, some probably fa- tally. The conductor leaped into a ditch and escaped injury. He afterwards broke the glass in the doors and rescued the passengers. THE INJURED. Among the wounded are Miss Louisa West, of Princeton, injured in the head and two ribs broken; Nathan Buckner, of Princeton, severely injured in the head, back and hips; E. R. Penny, collar bone and right arm broken; Miss L. Dorsett, Princeton, head and jaw seriousiy injured; Richard Ingle, of Cincinnati, foot badly hart. Some thirty others were more or less injured. OHIO.
