Seymour Daily Republican, January 24, 1898, p. 1. INTO THE OHIO RIVER Engine Falls from a Trestle at New Albany New Albany, Indiana, January 24-The high stage of the water in the Ohio was responsible for a railroad accident here yesterday that resulted in the death of two men and the injuring of two others. A part of the New Albany, Belt & Terminal Railroad skirts the riverbank on a steel trestle 20 feet high. The water had softened the earth about one of the pillars, and it became unsteady. A freight train had just reached the foot of Pearl Street when the steel support gave way. The locomotive toppled over the side of the trestle and fell into the river. The train was left standing on the trestle. Conductor John Burke of New Albany, and the brakeman, Harry Miller of Louisville, were killed. Engineer Henry Murphy of Howard Park, Indiana, and fireman Charles Hoan of Louisville were injured but not seriously
