Buffalo's McKlnley Monument Four ' Deaths In Auto Wreok 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 U es timated that the loss of life is at least 75 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 bridge a4 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 Hko a crash ot artillery. Terror lent fleetness to the feet ot 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 brldgo did not go below the surface of the water and eight workmen who remained above water were rescued and taken to the hospital at Levis. The steamerGlenmonthad Just clear ed the bridge when the first section fell. The water thrown up by the de bris came 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 wreckage for half an hour but there was no sign of life. The twisted Iron and steel held its victims in a terrible deathgrlp. All the men drowned were employes of the Phoenix Bridge company of Phoenlxville, 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 flntshed 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 ot the span In the center being 1,800 feet, or 200 feet longer than that of the Firth ot 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 ot Quebec to grow, a number of the city's 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 $354,000 from the govern ment of the province of Quebec, while the city of Quebec gave a grant ot $300,000. The promoters put up $650,000, and the Dominion govern ment guaranteed their bonds up to $7,000,000 Dedication of McKinley Monument. Governor Charles E. Hughes will be the guest of honor and the principal speaker at the ceremony of the dedi cation of the McKlnley statue at Buf falo on Thursday of this week, while Harlan J.

A confufelon ot orders received over the telephone Is said to have teen the cause of the accident.

Cieplnno refused to comply with the demands of the intruders, at the same time seizing a revolver from under his counter and opening fire.

However, the sight of the offi cers' revolvers had a quieting effect, and without mishap the prisoner was escorted to the 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. GIRL HEADS POSSE.
