COLIiPSEOF BRIDGE,
Of the 92 Men at Work Only 14
Escaped With Their Lives.
Buffalo's McKlnley Monument Four
' Deaths In Auto Wreck 15 Killed In
Trolley Collision Death of Richard
Mansfield Erie Dividends Deferred
10 Years.
A section of the new bridge across
the St. Lawrence river five miles be
low Quebec collapsed Thursday, car-'
rying scores of brldgeworkers and
mechanics Into the water. It Is. es
timated that the Iobs of life Is at least
73 and may exceed that number.
The bridge was about a mile and
a half in length and half of it, from
the south shore to midstream, crum
pled up and dropped Into the water.
Ninety men were at work on this
section of the structure and the whis
tle had Just blown at 5:30 for the men
to quit work for the day when there
came a- grinding sound from the
bride midstream.
The men made a rush shoreward,
but the distance was too great for
them to escape. The fallen section
of the bridge dragged others with It,
the snapping girders and cables boom
ing like a crash of artillery. Terror
lent fleetness to the feet of the fright
ened workmen as they sped shoreward,
but only a few of them reached safe
ty before the last piece of ironwork
on the south shore was dragged Into
the river.
Near the shore the wreckage of the
bridge did not go below the surface
of tho water and eight workmen who
remained above water were rescued
and taken to the hospital at Levis.
The steamerGlennionthadjust clear
ed tho bridge when the first section
fell. The wuter thrown up by the de
bris camo clear over the bridge of the
steamer. The captain at once lower
ed boats. The small boats plied back
ward and forward over the sunken
wrecknge for half an hour but there
was no sign of life. The twisted iron
nnd steel held its victims in a terrible
death grip.
All the men drowned were employes
of the Phoenix Bridge company of
Phoenlxvllle, Pa., and sub-contractors
of Montreal and Quebec.
Work on the Quebec bridge was be
gun about seven years ago and It was
to be finished by 1909. Subsidies for
the work had been granted by the fed
eral and provincial governments and
the city of Quebec. The estimated
cost of the work was $10,000,000.
The Quebec bridge was remarkable,
being the longest single-span cantilever
bridge in the world, the length of the
span in the center being 1,800 feet, or
200 feet longer than that of the Firth
of Forth bridge, at present the world's
longest single bridge span.
There has been no bridge across the
St, Lawrence below Montreal. At
Quebec all traffic was ferried across
the river. This expense being held re
sponsible for the failure of Quebec to
grow, a number of the clty'a leading
citizens secured a charter from the
Dominion government to bridge the
St. Lawrence. A subsidy of $1,000,000
was secured from the Dominion and
another of $350,000 from the govern
ment of the province of Quebec, while
tho city of Quebec gave a grant of
$300,000. The promoters put up
$(50,000. and the Dominion govern
ment guaranteed their bonds up to
$7,000,000

Four Killed In Auto Collision.
Three women and a Rochester phy
sician, who was driving an automobile
near Canandaigua, were Instantly kill
ed Wednesday afternoon in a collis
ion between the machine and a Roch
ester & Eastern trolley car.
Witnesses of the accident say that
as the automobile approached the trol
ley tracks it was seen by the motor
man. The motorman made a signal,
It Is said, and Dr. Waldron slowed up.
Then apparently thinking that he
rnuld cross before the car reached
him, he started on again. It is thought
that the automobile did not respond
readily to the levers and It was
caught on the track and the occupants
thrown In various directions from It.
The bodies wero frightfully crushed.
Fifteen Dsatns in Troney collision.
Fifteen were killed and 50 Injured
Friday In a head on collision be
tween an Interurban express train,

curve, one mile west of Charleston,
111. A confusion of orders received
over the telephone is said to have
been the cause of the accident.
The cars approached each other at
high speed and the impact was so
terrific that the motor car and the
trailer were telescoped by the trac
tion car. Few passengers had time
to escape by Jumping. Most of the
passengers were going to the Coles
county fair at Charleston.
The line on which the disaster hap
pened is 12 miles long, running be
tween Mattoon and Charleston, III.,
and has hut a single track. Tele
phones are placed every two miles for
orders to be transmitted to the cars
passing over the road.

in Self-Defense.
Motorman Wounded One of His As

Man Through the Groin Men Who
Did the Shooting Arrested Arrested
Rioters Released.
San Francisco, Sept. 3. The labor
anion parade resulted In the shooting
jf two men by employes of the United

It Is stated a Sutter street car broke
through the line of parade. A mob of

arrested but several rioters who were
seized by the police were released.

break through the procession there
was trouble.

turned Into a riot.
The cars of the United Railroads
had stopped while the parade was in
progress, but when the marchers be

lice station. When the police Jumped
In to quiet the riot a number of them
as soon as they made arrests were set

arrest."

DEATH TO BLACK HAND.
Shoemsktr Shoots One of Thrte Men
Who Demand Monty.
Blairsvlllo, Sept. 3. The first known
effort of the Black Hand to carry on
Its nefarious practices in Blalrsville
resulted in the death of one man, the
serious wounding of another and the
arrest of a third.
The victims are: Guiseppe Guissifo,
dead; (Yank Clepinno, stabbed in the
back and breast; unknown Italian, in
Jail at Indiana.
Cieplnno is a wellknown shoemak
er, who has been a resident of Blalrs
ville for many years. The dead man
and the prisoner had been employed
by a local agent for a brewery, and lit
tle is known of their antecedents.
Late Saturday night as Cieplnno
was about to close his shop three men
entered and demanded a sum of mon
ey, the same amount which has been
demanded, it is said, in letters signed
with the conventional Black Hand
marks.
Clepinno refused to comply with the
demands of the intruders, at the same
time seizing a revolver from under his
counter and opening fire.
As he pulled the trigger his assail
ants closed with him, one of them
sticking a knife Into his breast.
The shoemaker saw one of his
would-be slayers fall; then he started
Ifor the yard in the rear of his shop
and tried to scale a fence. As he did
so one of the pursuing Italians stabbed
him again. Then they fled.
A crowd was attracted by the 6hoot
Jng, and after hearing Cleplnno's story
started out in chase of the Black Hand
men. One of the two escaped, but the
other was arrested and hustled to In
diana on a freight train. The man at
liberty was recognized as an employe
of the beer agent and efforts are now
making for his capture.
The crowd was ugly after the cap
ture of the unknown and for a time it
looked as though efforts would be
made to mete out summary punish
ment, However, the sight of the offi
cers' revolvers had a quieting effect,
and without mishap the prisoner was
escorted to tho railroad and hustled
way.
Cieplnno is In a serious condition,
but will probably recover. He was not
totally unprepared for the attack, as
he had received several Black Hand
letters, all demanding money, and all
of which he had Ignored.
