A Railroad Train's fatal plisnge in ' v California. Otmt a Score of Persons Drowned One Car Sinks Into the River Some of tha Passenger make Narrow Escapes. One of the most horrible railway accidents ever known in California occurred at 1.40 o'clock in the afternoon, when the local train connecting at Oakland with the ferryboats from San Francisco ran through an open draw, bridge over the San Antonio Creek, at Webster street, Oakland. The yacht Juniata had just passed through the draw, when the train ap peared, going ia the direction of Almeda. The drawbridge' keeper endeavored at once to close the bridge, but it was too late, and the engine, with its tender and first car, which was filled with passengers, plunged into the river, which was here quite deep. The engi neer, Sam Dunn, and fireman O'Brien went down with tho engine. The former, when he Saw thftt, t.llA hrirfirp HiH nnt. nlnen vmrorcorl (h. lever, but the momentum of the engine was top great to be stopped in time. The weight of the engine and the first car broke the coup lings andleft the other two cars of the train standing on the track. ' ; ; The second car ran about a third of the way across the bridge and stopped, but the jar was sufficient to break open the front of the car, and many passengers were thrown into the water. The first car, which had followed the engine to the bottom of the muddy estuary, soon rose, and such of the passengers as had escaped were picked up by the yachts and other boats which gathered at the scene, v - The trainmen aud the rest of the passengers lent their aid to the work of rescuing, and when the wrecking train arrived from Oak land the car was drawn into shallow water, and the boats began dragging the'ereek for bodies., ,The train was li charge of Condactor Iterath and an extra crew, it being a holiday. The conductor Btated that probably twenty five persons had met their death. i , The top of the passenger coach waa cut open as soon as it was raised above the water, and the work of removing the bodies commenced, ten being taken out in quick succession. Engineer Dunn was net to be found, and if was believed he was beneath his engine. The , fireman, it is thought, escaped by jumping. Three women and three gikjs were taken from the water alive, and removed to the receiving hospital. - - -. , . , , Another young lady died soon after being taken from the water. ' - The news of the accident created intense excitement in Oakland, and thousands of people flocked to the morgue ami to the scene of the wreck. At the morgtie the bodies were laid out as soon as received to await identifi cation. . - 1 . . . . ?, ' In a short time thirteen bodies lay on the .floor and on the marble slabs of the morgue awaiting identification. - Many heartrending scenes were witnessed ss the friends came forward to claim their dead. . , '. 7 A late despatch says the engineer and fire man were both saved. Thousands or people flocked to the scene of the disaster, and the street leading; to the bridge was crowded with vehicles and hurry ing men and women. So great was the crowd on the drawbridge that the police had to drive the people ofl", for fear the great weight would upset the bridge and cause another catas trophe. ' . .' :.; ., ' ''',- -. . The water over which the bridge is built is an estuary of San Francisco bay and . is com monly called the Oakland creek. A strong -rrent runs in the stream, which at the point 1 the accident is about thirty feet wide and ; inty feet deep. Both sides of the creek are lined with shipping, and boatmen from the vessels were ot great assistance in rescuing those who escaped from the car. : 1- -, ' 5,000 P0UNDS0F POWDER.

Not a vistige ot the little building was left, but a swath of destruction and desolation had been swept in every direction. J ust across the road, was the dwelling Henry Roost, in which at the time were hie wife ana three chil dren. The house was shivered to atoms. One of the children, fifteen months old was crushed and hurled thirty feet away lifeless. Another, four years old, was so badly in-' jured that she will die, and the mother is yet unconscious from injuries that will likely prove fatal. , v. A new and as yet unoccupied dwelling ad jacent to the Roost house was also wholly de stroyed, being levelled to the foundation. The force of the explosion was so terrific that the bricks of the powder house were hurled a full quarter of a mile away, the debris sweeping over the fields and through the adjacent woods, leaving a path like that of a shell-swept bat tlefield. All the windows of houses within a radius -of half a mile , were shattered, and a plate-glass window in the postoffice, about a mile and a-half away was broken. The debris of the demolished houses was scattered through the adjacent woods for a hundred yards in all directions. The powder house was located on ' the old Fainter farm, aud next to it was the private burying ground of the Painters.

The. men afterward met at the Alexander Hotel and resumed their difficulty, and finally decided to settle their affair according to the code. Overby was represented by Frank Lat terall, a young man who lives in Indianapolis, while atraveling man from Cincinnati, named Harry Thomas, acted as second for Sanders. Accompanied by a medical student named James White, who acted ansureeon, the pnrty secured carriages and drove to St. touiseeme tery, in the suburbs. The principles took their positions, armed with 32-eaIiber Smith and esson revolvers, twenty paces apart. It was too dark to see the men plainly, ex cept at a close distance, butthey both displayed great coolness. The seconds took their re spective positions, after arranging that the firing should begin when three-had been counted. "One, two, three." As the last number was called by the physician, who did the counting, a blaze of fire flashed from the muzzle of both pistols. Before one could see whether or not either man was wounded, four more reports rang out, and Sanders staggered up to a tombstone near him, and supported himself by its eold sides. Dr. White hastily examined him and found that one bullet had penetrated his right breast near the top of the shoulder, while another had made a slight flesh wound in lelt arm. , He had fired two nhots while Overby had fired three, ' The man's wounds were dressed as quickly as pos sible and he was placed in his carriage and taken to New Alhuny, Ind., where he took the first train lor his home in Erfliisville.
