The Central viaduct la a huite Iron bridge
3.000 feet long which connects the height
and prosperous residence section of the south
side. IMrectly over the river la a drawbridge
of the pivot swinging kind, and It Is 101 feel
above the surface ot ths water. The Houth
Hide electric linn passes over the bridge, ami
nn Jelther end of the draw there Is a snlety
switch, which unless the conductor nlluhts
and holds up a handle, will send the cur Into
a nutter Instead of allowing It to go on the
draw. The motor cur approached the draw
Just at a vessel was approaching it, and the
bridge alienisms had closed the big Iron
Rates and were preparing to swing the draw.
1 be car stopped, at Is the rule, and ihe con
ductor went forward to release the twitch In
case the way was clear.
The conductor must have roen blinded by
the electric lights, for. although the Kates
were closed and the draw wua already In mo
tion, he raised the switch handle. The
motormnn applied tho current nnd the cm
shot forward and ttrnck the Rates with a
crash There was only n moment's pause,
and then the heavy car ground Its way
through the wreckaite and plunged Into the
dark abyss, amid tho sereams and frantic
struggles of the passenger, who, at the Mrs!
Intimation of danger, rushed, lor the real
door. The car struck the water with a great
splash, and thon there was silence. Hoon
men began to rush, ahoutlng nbout, and
police patrol wagons and ambulances were
toon Dying to Ihe spot In response to tele
phone calls. In an Incredibly short space ol
time the work of rescue baa begun.
All the occupnnti of the car with the ex
ception of the lew who bad managed to Jump
as It toppled over, went down to certaiu
death. The ear disappeared from sight af
toon at it ttruck the water, and every one ol
the passengort were drowned.
The alarm which was sent out brought to
the tcene half a doren ambulances, tbe fire
boatt and the membert of tbe life-saving
crew with grappling Irons. Within five min
utes after the acoident the surface of the rivei
revealed nothing of tbe terrible tragedy that
bad Just been enacted. The waters had
closed over the ear and Itt pasaeugera, and
tba worluof rescuing the bodiee In the uncer
tain light was slow Indeed, All of tbe dead
have been Identified, but four persons ,bc
were supposed to have been on the lll-fnted
oar at tt made the awful plunge are still
missing, and there seemt to be no doubt that
their bodiet will be taken from tbe bottom ol
the river when the heavy Iron truckt ol tht
wrecked motor are raised.
Motormtn liodgert wat arrested shortly
after the acoident. He tuld that tbe con
ductor gave him the signal to come ahead
and he supposed everything wat ail right and
did not notice the draw open, being blinded
by tbe eleotrlo lights. He Jumped when he
discovered tbe Relet doted and barely es
taped going over.
He talked about the acoident:
- "It wat my second trip," he began. "Just
- after leaving tht Market house, I looked Into
the oar and from what I can remember, there
were about 20 or 25 passengers. They were
mostly women and ohildren, I think. When
my motor reached the twitch at the approach
ol tbe draw In tbe viaduct, I thut oil my
eurrent, and applied tbe brake. The ear
came to a full stop, and the conductor ran
ahead and threw the switch, lie motioned
me ahead with a wave of bit arm. I put
my lever at the flrtt notoh. and at I
patted tbe conductor, who always ttandt
at tbe twitcb lever until the ear bos
passed, wat running at the rate of pot
tlbly four miles an hour. I looked baok,
at I alwayt do, and taw him get on tbe rear
platform. Looking ahead I thought I taw
ths gates at tbs draw closed over tht traak,
but at my lights were burning and I had eur
rent, the thought occurred to rat that my
eyes must be at famt. X wat just in tbe act
of giving, and possibly gave tht lever a slight
push forward, when I wot Hurtled by the
gates Just In front of me, and I heard tome
out yell 'Jurup.'I don't konw whether I revers
ed the current or not, for I then realized tbe
danger and leaped from tht vestibule. At I
leaped I thought I would plunge headlong
down and Into the river, but at the ear ttruok
tbt gate I tell on It and oaught the Iron frame
and saved myself. The oar went down with
au awful crash, but I never heard a murmur
or anything that resembled a scream."
Here Rogers burled hit faoe In hit btndt
and erled: "My God, itt an awful thing."
When tat bad recovered himself tomewbat,
Bogert oontinued: "When I wot freed from
tbe Iron gate I eosroely knew what to do. I
wot dazsd. I Anally oonoluded to run baok
to tbe market bouae and tell tbt police. 1
burrled down tbe embankment and began to
pull bodiet out of tbe wreck. I worked there
(or fully an hour, may be an hour and a half.
Then I grtwaiok and went home."
"When you taw the gates of the draw,
were your light burning and did you bkvt a
current?''
"I did hsvt eurrent and my llgbtt were
buraiag. That it the reason I thought of no
danger. When tbe draw is open tbe lights
usually go out, but tt wat not the ease at the
time of the acoident, at I can twtiar. Aa I
told you, I wat surprised when I eaw tbe
gates and knew that' I had both Ugbn and
eurrent, whiob baa never been tbe case before
when the gates bars been oloaed, at the
twinging of the bridge cutt off tbe current
and of court when tblt It done the llgbtt so
out." "
"How do you account for the ttraoge
law?"
"I cannot acoount for it, but I twear that
it wat to. 1 have never bad an acoident of
any kind, until tblt out, and I belter tblt
will kill int."

AMERICANS GOT LEFT.
European Merchant Qet Tremendous

Consul (ieucral Jernlgnn, writing the de
partment of state from Hhanghnl, on labor
nnd wngea in China, enys that during the laat
Hseal year the value of trade relation! be
tweeu Japan nnd the lnlted Mates was esti
mated at W.uno.O'jO, with a balance against
us of 10,0(10, 000. A comparison between
Japan nnd Great llritnln shows a lalance in
fnvor ol Great llrltaln nhiut as Inrge as the
balance against us. During the same period
the value ol the trade between tbe l ulled
Mates aud China Is placed at (24,000,000
with a balance of (10,000,000 agalnat ua,

bavo to ruy upon their own skill and energy,
while the merchants of Europe nfu encour
aged by the aid given to the great steamship
lines which carry their. Mage and pour the
productions of Europe Into Asiatic ports.
Amerlcun merchants, says Mr. Jernlgnn,
cannot euceessfully compete for Aaiatlo trade,
eveu with tho natural advantagee of their
geographical position, when such advantages
are so greatly neutralized by aueh resources
nnd mentis at tbe command of their com
petitors as referred to.
In conclusion, be says: "From this stand
point the advantages to American interests
of the cutting of tba Nicaragua canal would
evidently be great Hbould tbe government
of tbe United Htates cut the taunl and say
that vessuls of the United Htates carrying the
flag of the l ulled htatet should past toll free,
or at very moderate toilt.for a certain period,
would not tbe benellt to American shippers be
almost Incalculable? Would It nut create a
new life lu the shipyards of the United Htatet
and toon restore our (lag to Itt former
supremacy on the ocean V With an American
lank In China and an American Journal, both
conducted by men whose known chnrnator
would command confidence In all circlet, and
the Nicaragua canal completed, the com
mercial prosperity of the United Htates would
approach nearer the blessings of our free In

Tha scare about gold exports had no real
significance, nnd although (2.2:0.000 mors

erates to our disadvantage. But there la no
local disturbance of money maikctt.
The output of pig Irou to November 1 waa
217,300 tons weekly, about 10 per cent, larger
than ever before, and a continuance of ths
same production for six weeks mors would
make tho half year'a output 5,1150,000 tone or
more, about 450,000 tuna greater than lu any

Wheat perplexes the oldest Inhabitant.
There Is little reason to expect a yield larger

DISAPPEARED.
Tht Great Healer Schlatter Took to Hit
Heela.
Francli Schlatter, who bos crentod tuoh
sensation throughout ths country, and es
pecially In tbs West, by reason of bis to-called
wondtsful powers of healing diseases, bos
suddes-'y disappeared from Denver. He wat
to bavo appenred Thursday before s United
Hlutet commissioner, to give testimony
against some persons charged with fraud lu
connection with bis henilug, and bis sudden
disappearance is supposed to have been
caused by fear that ne might become entang
led In litigation. lilt dixappearauce wat so
tudden and mysterious that It caused a great
commotion In the town.
lleports tt to the results of cures claimed
to have been effected by Scbuttler are quite
contradictory. That be bat been measurably
successful In relieving persons suffering from
certain nervous affections can readily be
understood, but thut be poetesses any tuper
human power will be believed by few.
There It no proof at yet that Schlatter Is a
firetender, or that he Is not perfectly sincere
n all that bs says and does. Ho it modest,
unassuming, and goes nbout healing at
though It rat a duty that be could not neg.
lecL Money Is evidently not bit object, since
he Is laid to return any tumt that are tent to
him.
He claims no power In . himself to heal dis
ease or relieve pain, attributing everything
of Ibat kind to the "will of the Father' He
it very simple In bis manner, resorting to no
display or ostentation. Hs takes tb band
of the allllcted ones, each In turn at tbey
retch him, and the only ceremony Is brlei
prayer uttered in an undertone. He makes
no charge for bis services. He bat been In
Denver tlnce the middle of September, nnd
bss created a wonderful furor among tba
