BRIDGE COLLAPSED AT
PARIS EXPOSITION.
Six Si^ht Seers Were Killed and
l oity Injured.
i
Paris, Apiil 2!>, 8:15 p m. ? I
An aeeident within the exposition
grounds caused the death of six
persons and the injury of about
t". A temporary bridge, unable
to withstand the Sunday crowd,
I >r? ?ke.
j The aeeident threw a pall over
the happiness of an iinmeuso
I throng who had profited by th<?
magnificent weather to visit tho
exposition. Today's was prob
I ably tho record attendance. Not
! merely the interior of the grounds
i
; but the precincts were also crowdjed,
and the concourse was particI
ularly great along the Avenue de
SufTren, which forms tho northern
boundary of tho grounds. Here
is situated a big side show, the
Celestial (ilobe. A foot bridge,
? n which the finishing touches
were being put today, crosses the
Avenue de SutFren, onnccting
the sideshow with the exhibition. i
It was constructed of wood, with
a stucco facade and with a plaster-1
I made tower at each end.
Strangely enough, the bridge
had been condemned only this'
morning as unsafe by the exhibi-i
lion authorities. The public
was, therefore, not allowed to go I
upon the structure, and in this
way a disaster even more terrible
than that which occurred was
averted. 1 he gay crowd was
passing along the avenue and some .
hundred or more persons were
walking beneath the bridge when
suddenly an ominous crash wa**
heard liefore those underneath
o old turn aside the structure fell
with a fearful crash, burying
MiMirlv r.n a ciimii .if ii? I
rose from the spectator*, mingled i
with the cries of the victims. For
a moment nothing could !?o d!s
tinguished hut u cloud of dust an<i
plaster A scene of the greatest
excitement and confusion followed.
t 1'iut this was only for a few
seconds. Almost immediately
the crowd attacked the debris in
an cfl'ort to release those lying he
neath.
The workmen within the
grounds who had witnessed the
accident, the police and the re
publican guard*, together wit i
ijuitc a numher of soldiers, join
ed in the rescue work. The
promenadcrs forgot their Sunday
attire and covered themselves
with dirt in tearing away the rubbish
with their hands. Wooden
beams and p< ?l??s wore brought
from the half-finished building*
nearby and were used as levers to
rnisf the fallen mass.
The victims lirst recovered were
mostly the injure !, the dead bein?*
l'ouud later beneath tho centre of
the structure. Messengers were
dispatched to lirin^ lirenien and
sappers with their equipments,
and the lirst body was found after
a quarter of an hour's frantic la*
bor. It was that of a little ^rirl,
about 7 years old, whose head
was horribly crushed. Victim
after victim was brought to Ii_rht
until u row of six mutilated j
corpse* had hoof) placed upon the
si lewalk and nearly 40 other persons,
some badly and other-. less
sciiou.il y injured, had heen car-,
ried in ambulances or driven to
the hospitals.
A family, composed of father, 1
mother and two girls, narrowly
escaped destruction. The parentwho
happened to be a little ahead,
had gone under t ho bridge, the I
children following just at tliei
moment of the collapse. The
parents wcje killed, but the children
sprang hack and escaped
with a few scratches. A cyclist
had his wheel smashed, but himself
escaped unhurt.
The dead are three men, two
women and one child.
4:50 a 111.?Some of the injured
have since died at the hospital.
The corrected list shows that
nine were killed and nine injured,
the injuries being mostly compound
fractures of the leg. One
| woman and a child are still
unidentified.
