THE BR1DBE CAVED IS.
Fortunately No one Hm Hurt-Narrow
Escape or Street Car HMMcucer.
It Is what has bee-n expwted for a
JonB time. so the announcement that
the ElKhth avenue bridge, which had
lnwn cuiitlenim-d. had suik was nut
so much of a surprise t nixst pool'l'"
as It mitfht have been. It la just ful
filling the prediction of those who are
versed on such subjects.
Nearly three months ap the city
tnelnver pronounced the bridtie unsafe
and ordered that tralllo on It be sus-pr-nded,
and lut signs up warning all
l.cttousethe Headway. The-electrw road
crosses the bridge at this point, how
ever, and they removed the barrier so
that they could resume rathe. All
the time the company were riskiiiK
the lives of those who rode In their
cars, the city looked on and did noth
ing to prevent the horrible catastrophe
which, sooner or Inter, must come to
pass. The crash, when it did come,
"however, was one of the most fortunate
that could have occurred. Although
tne weight of a passing street car was
the last straw, no one was Injured, and
thus the city has been lucky In escap
ing several suits for damage, which
would surely have been brought auninst
the cltv had It resulted more serious-Iy.
It was about 5..10 o'clock when the
bridge gave way. A street car was
coming north ftt a lively rate. and. as
It neared the center of the bridge,
Motorman McIViiioiigh felt the track
sinking. Immediately he put the cur
rent on full force, and. to bis presence
of mind, and prompt action, is probably
due that no fatalities resulted. The
car was stopped us soon as the danger
was passed, and the people walked
back to see what they had escaped.
The bridge is sunken badly at the
lower end. and one of the heavy
arched-Iron supports was broken In
several places and bent badly. The
Inm braces and stringers wore nlso
bent and out of place. It Is really
wonderful that "the bridge had not
Riven away sooner.
As the news of the accident began
to get around town crowds of curious
people wended their way to the place
eager to see the bridge for themselves.
Several councllmen and olllcials of the
Transit company were also on the spot.
The crowd were very Indignant agiiinst
the company for thus placing the lives
of their passengers In J.ipanly. The
bridge was at once closed, but opened
later for the convenience of pedestralns
and those on the cars who were ob
liged to be transferred.
The bridge Is still i; an upright posi
tion, but. should it be subjected to any
heavy weight or strain It would at once
be precipitated to the bed of tile river.
It Is rot. yet known what the council
will do in regard to the matter. When
Sunperintt ndent Ducan. of the Trac
tion company, was asked whether any
action sh.mid be brought against the
city he answered in the negative, as he
wanted no tight with the city .
The outlook of the affairs Is looked to
with great Interest. What it will be
cannot vet be told. It may mean a
new liiidg at the place.

FIRE A LA KM IMIimi.
A Philadelphia Company Is Now Showing
Its System.
Two'trentlemen, R. S. Tfansbury and
Frank W'ooletts, were in this city on
Saturday representing the I'nlver.'aJ
Fire Alarm company, of Philadelphia.
They brought an experimental plant
with them to rtiow the workings of the
system. In the evening the plant wan
put Into operation at the Columbia
Hose house, and the citizens and city
fathers given a chance to see the
merits. It wan thought very favorable
In all respects but one. This was the
manner of registering the box from
Which the signal was given. This was
done by certain number of dashes on
the registry .tape, and the firemen con
tended that a mistake might
easily be made in reading the register.
The men said that should the system
be adopted, numbers would be put on
the tape Instead of the dashes.
TV Gamewell company also had a

J. Scott Iiiglis
WE1S HDD WALL PIPERS,
representative In the city on Satur
day, who was making Inquiries about
what the councils were about to do. It
is thought best that the workings of
other companies be seen before any
step toward securing one be done. The
I'niversul company is a young organi
sation, and has but one plant in this
section, at Ardmore. near Philadelphia.
Something delluite should be done by
the councils, as the need or a system
Is felt daily.

TO our patrons:
Washhurn-CroHhy Co. wish to nsRurc their many pf
rons tlmt they will thU year hold to their usual custom
of milling S1KICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop

ovinK to the excessively dry weuther many millers aro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Wa.shburnCrosby (Jo. will take
no risks, and will til low the new wheat fully three
months to mature before KrinUinK.
This careful attention to every detail ot milling ha
placed Wnshburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
bruuds.
