iced the full horror of the terrible acci-
dent on the big Central viaduct. it was
the worst accident that had ever happen-
ed in this city. and the story oi how the
motor car, loaded with men, women and
children, had plunged through the open
draw. straight down too feet into the riv-
sr, was told over and over again. Thom
sands oi people remained by the river
bank all night. and thousands more were
there early the following morning. Great
crowds are still standing on the bridge
above the wrackedoar and about the place
where the wreckage is buried in the rlv-
er eagerly discussing every detail at the
accident. The work oi rescuing the bod~
lea oi the victims is on steadily, and it is
now believed that nothing more can be
done until the last bit of the wreckage of
the car has been removed from the river.
The Central viaduct is a huge stilt
bridge 8,000 feet long and ads of iron.
It connects the heights and t e prosperous
residence section on the south side with
the business center of the city. Directly
over the river is a drawbrldgc oi the pivot
swinging pattern, and this is 101 feet
above the surface of the water. ‘ The South
Side Street railway passes over the bridge,
and on either side of the draw there is a
safety switch, which, unless the conductor
alights and holds up a handle, will send a
car into the gutter instead of allowing it
to go on the draw.
As is the rule. the car stopped. and the
conductor went forward to release tho
switch in case the way was clear.
He must have been blinded by the elec-
tric lights. for an eyewitness declares that
although the gates were closed and the
draw was already in motion the conduct-
or raised the switch handle. The motor‘
man applied the current. and the car shot
forward and struck the gates with a crash
Down the [rightist Abyss.
There was only a moment's pause. and
than the heavy car ground its way through
the wreckage and plunged over the brink
into the black abyss amid the screams
and frantic struggles oi the passengers,
who at the that intimation of danger
rushed for the rear door. The car struck
the water with a great splash, and then
there was silence.
As the car went over the brink oi the
abyss the motorman jumped irom the
vastlbnlcd front. He fell upon the abut.
ment of the bridge. his skull being crushv
ed by the fall. All the other occupants of
the ear. with the exception oi the few
who had managed to jump as it. toppled
over. went down tocortain death. The
car disappeared irom sight as soon as it
struck the water, and ovary one oi the
passengers was drowned.
The scenes about tho river while the
work of rescue was being prerecorded were
pathetic in the extreme. 'l‘ho thousands
of people who had assembled wnltcd with
bated breath for the discoVory of bodies.
It was is sad crowd, and out of respect for
the unfortunate dead but. very little noise
was made. ilccuslonally the wild scream
of some frantlcwoman who believed some
one dear to her was among the unfortu-
nate onus would echo over the little. only
to be taken up at a distance by rlilillil oth.
or woman whose heart was breaking over
her loss. it was almost impossible to get

way and that. their bells clnnging. odd

lances dashed up to the “TH“, only to
turn and drive away again. carrying the
remains of other unfortunntcs.

any sysiom. The crowd pushml its way as

is the last arrival front there. He says:
"The seat of the government at the
Congo Free State is at Board. about 50
miles from the coast and 250 from ritanv
ley Peel, which ought to be the real Con.
go cent". It takes four weeks to continu-
nicate between these two places; hence it
becomes almost impossible for the govern-
or to manage his vast and unwieldy terri-
tory, sothat the commissioners or petty
governors of the interior districts have
almost unlimited power. The oillcsrs oi
the state are young and inupnriencod.
They do not come out as colonists to do-
vslop the country, but in order that they
may receive quick promotionl—thc Congo
decoration-end, above all. to get money.
Of course there are sonic noble exceptions,
but it is only the law who have an inter»
est in the country and the well being oi
the people.
"It has been said by some traders that
the king of the Congo Free State is the
largest slaveholdor in the dominions. and
this is true, although the olilcsrs, by a
play some words, got rid of the statement
by calling them liberated cloves. 1 have
been told by naval and minor oliirmrs oi
the state that a certain sum per head is
paid by the government to tho commis-
surles of the districts from which the
slaves are received and to the naval oili—
cors who bring such slaves “into camp.
’i’hsse wretched slaves sorm find that they
have only changed toasters. and it will be
found that about 50 per cent of those are
in rs starving condition.
"The state has placed 'posts' in all the
towns upon the river banks and in most
oi the inland towns. Each post is corn-
mandml by a black corporal and s (lflmplr
ny of soldiers belonging to a hostile tribe.
They are armed with European guns
and are: commanded to stop every ounce
that patterns the river pmt.
Reduced to Desperate Despair.
"The rubber question in our district
has minced the people to a state of dos-
pcrnte despair. Each town is forced to
bring a certain quantity to the headquar-
ters. The soldiers drive the people into
the bush. and if they will not go, shoot
them. and their leit hands are out ed and
taken us trophies to the Commissary.
fi’heir hands—the hands of rnen, women
and children—are placard in rows before
the commlssary, who counts thorn to see
that the soldiers have not wasted their
cartridges.
"One day a state corymral who was in

around the town collecting rubber. He
