CAR PRECIPITATED INTO NIAGARA RIVE R Several Persons Killed and In - „lured. • t A despatch from Fat Erie, On., dated last (Friday) night, says: The first fatal accident on the International bridge eine° its opening for ,traffie in September, 1873, occurred this evening. There has been but one accident previous to this, which occurred SOnle seven years ago, when the less was Very slight. The International Bridge Company, haying failed to comply with the terms of their Act , of Incorpora. tion as regarding a footpath across for the convenience of foot paaseugers, etc., have kept a dummy car plying between the adjoining village of Victoria and Black Rook, a portiOn.of the city of Buffalo. The oar made frequent trips across the bridge, andewasewell-1-patronizel—The-1ast-trip, Was usually made, starting from . Black Rook about 5.30, and the ear was laid up Tor the night. On reaching this sideof the river this. evening. about, 6.20 Conductor Haggert got his usual' order, to cross the bridge, as nothing was COMlng over. The. ear had our passengers, Mr. Edwin Hershey, Reeve of the townehip ef Bertie, and the ex -Warden of the °panty of Wel- land Mr. Parnalee, a lady livipg in Black Rook and anether lady whose name is un- known. Besides these there .were Mr. M. Cololeugh, superintendent of the bridge, Capt. Haggert, overseer of the bridge, who was acting as conductoron the dun:nays:pa Engineer Ches. A. Bohn, a resident of Fort eEriee_The dummy proceeded Beeman 'the bridge and ran past the7danger Brgral, which was up to show that the draw ,was open. A few yards further on the ear jumped the abutment,and went down •itito the Niagara River 25 feet below. Mr. Col- oleugh with great presence of mind sprang off the car just as it west going , over and saved himself, receiving ,no injury. The rest were not so fortunate. Engineer Bohn; whose body has been recovered, must have been instantly killed. Mr. Hershey was also killed, and Mrs. Parmlee . received injuries which .may prove fatal. The other lady, whose name has not beenascertained, was not severely injured. Captain Haggert was got out alive, and it is thpuglat will recover if he has not received internal injuries, of which medical rase who were immediately summoned, have discovered no sign. Capt. Haggert is unable to give any details of the affair at present. Mr. Hershey, one of the victims, was a gentle- man of very high prominence in Welland County, and was considered a man . of superior intelligence - and considerable wealth, and has held various offices of honor in the county. He, was a'. candidate in the Reform interest in 1878 for the Dominion House, opposing Mr. e0. W.m Bunting, the late meber for Welland County, by whom he was defeated. A telegram frone Buffalo, N.Y., ' says: 'Coroner Scott says he will malee-a-thorottghe investigation a the accident by which William Bohn and Reeve Hershey !get their lives. The body of the latter- was removed to Canada at an early hour on Saturday morning, and that of Bohn was shipped to Fort Erie on Saturday forenoon. ' As far .as can be learned no blame is attached to the bridge authorities. They have an admirable system of signals, and an this caeca -opinions -agree -that they-were-:-givera promptly. One of the bridge tenders says that he saw 'nothing of 'Engineer' Bohn until just 'before the dummy took the fatal plunge. He then seemed to be in the act of leaping from the cab, but it was , too late. Superintendent ,Colcleugh states that he felt the shook of the engine when it was reversed. . At that mordent Mr. Hershey Was leaning with his back against the door, and was handing leie fare to Conductor Haggert. Colcleogh got down on the step to look ahead, saw the danger- ous position they were ineshouted to those on the platform to ,jump, and, sprangoff himself. He was nonetoe scion, for the rear end of the car went Up at that moment. He was whirled around by the sudden stop and thrown violently on the bridge, hurting his knee. The dummy °erne out of the repair shops two weeks ago, and was in good repair until yesterday. The wounds. of Dirs. Parmelee and Miss Nellie O'Connell were attended to by Dr. Earl on Saturday morning. He says they are doing well.. Mr. John O'Conuell,one of the passengers, told a graphic story. of his experiencee at the International Bridge. "My, sister and Mrs. Parmelee and I,” he said," were,gaing over to the OcIdsfellows' picnic on the other Bide. When we started I noticed that the engine was pounding in a ,queer way, and as we ran out over the canal and the Squaw Island embankment we went a good deal faster than the dummy usually does. • All at once I saw white skirts -my 'sifter and Mrs. Parmelee' were in front of itte-and then came a shoelt and I was:under water. I came to the top in a minute, and the car door wee eight above me. I was p todny neck in water,- but vvaan't hunt'; my hat was on my head even -shows nay good luck,. - I -looked . around', and thinks 1: My God, is everybody else killed t' Then I looked ,down, and Under the cushions and bundles, all tumbled to- gether at the bottom of the car, were my sister and Dirs. Parmelee. I helped them to get their heads above water. :Mrs. Par - melee's face was bleeding and both were hurt and scared. They clung to me and I was afraid we'd all be.earried under. Then' a boat came and we got in. Jost before climbed out of the car I looked down and saw the head of a raan wedged down, under water. Then I remembered that there was another passenger in the car. When they got him out he was juet alive but now he's dead." • The two other living oectipante of the car when it plunged' into the river,Miss '0 Con- nell and Mrs. Parmelee, were too seriously hurt to see the reporter last night.

Further Testimony Concerning Lake ' THE ROCK THEORY EXPLODED, A Thursday' Collingwood despatch says: The continuenee of the investigation to -day, consists entirely of 'the testimony of recalled witnesses, which from the points touched upon is especially interesting. 'EXPERIENCES IN ROUGH' WEATHER. The first witneeerecalled was Captain E. B. Anderson, of the Ca,mparta, who gave, the following ,a,dditienal evidence,: While serving in the Steamer Quebec on the Sarnia route at the end of Octciber, 1880, I was caught id gale firm the southeast, being about 100, iniles northeast of Duluth, with a heavy sea runtavg ; the barometer was very low, and we Were steer- ing N.

E , snowing .continuously, the vessel iaboring -heevily and shipping seas both sides'; three of the gangway% shutters gave Way, and the boat Was thereby placed iu immineut danger; I caused the shattere to be closed and barricaded with sacks of flour, part of the ea-go,;then threw overboard 800 ',lecke of flour, which eased her very considerably; on leav- ing portreiy deck was fully three efeet_out_of_theavater_e_theetaatabeieltein_thee fore ohnianion, which we secured; only a small quantity of water got into the stoke. hole; green seas passed over all; sweeping the deeks and bursting inthe cabin &foretell, - the promenade deck ; the weather was very cold, the , thermometer1 .below the freezing point ; this gale cornnaenced at 9- p. m,. with the wind steadily blowing from the same direction, which did not, cease until 2 p. in. of the next day, leaving a heavy sea; I an; of opinion that all pas- senger steamers -should carry life rafts, say 16 feet by 10 feet, as these are not liable to capsize, but in boats there is no Ceitiliniy WHY A SHORE RECORD IS NOT KEPT. W. 11. 13ellsmith, the company's her*. keeper, said that when ‚the Asia last left Collingwood -her-mein-deek-Veas-6-feete above water at midship.t,The Simcoe and Columbia were of the -saine style as the Asia, though, of an inferior class; and both boats were lost by getting into the trough of the sea and becoming unmanageable. The Waubuno was lost by being driven on a lea, shore. Witness said it was agitated by certain parties that a liet should be kept of all passengers received on board these steamers. He deemed it to be altogether impracticable for the Georgian Bay route, which took in some twenty- four intermediate ports. , After the neon adjOUT/IMEOit Capt. Ander- sen Was visited on the Campana by Captain Scott illet before leaving port, and denied .emphatically that Captain Savage had ever .informed him that when the Asia grounded ,at Thornbury the got a rock in her bottom. The heroine of the Asia disaster, Miss Morrison terrived on the late train to -night.
