Wreck of Crescent Limited After Bridge Failure Near Washington
A Crescent Limited derailed near the eastern branch of the Anacostia River outside Washington, killing engineer A. H. Bryde and fireman J. H. Foxe, injuring 13 passengers and crew. Rescue teams removed trapped passengers as heavy rains swelled the river, and authorities blamed a weakened bridge pile likely washed away by dredging. Johnson survived after being pulled from the mud, and doctors said he would live.
