spectators, variousy estimated from fifteen to forty

warning the bridge was seen to topple over, and,
amid the crash OF falling timbers, those upon the
bridge were precipitated below, some into the river
others upon tue ice.

REPUBLICAN, TROUBLES IN NEWARK.

This evening the Common Council Of Newark will
undergo very serious change. In place Of the
slight democratic majority which for the last year
has ruled the roost in sort or way, the majority
will assume an entirely different political CON-
plexon. Tho Council, through the advent OF
thirteen new members, will be republican by at
least twothirds OF the whole number-twenty-
six. 1t is anticipated that the meeting TO-
night will be an exceedingly exciting one,
owing to a serious split in the republican
ranks on the subject OF the appointment OF Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department At the recent
brace or caucuses they could not agree this point
Some OF the acknowledged leaders. such as Baker,
Stainsby and company, fought strenuously for the
appointment OF ex-Chiet Elias r. Carhu, but others,
Messrs. Gurney and Armstrong in particular, were
equally fierce In their opposition to him. They
openly declared that Carhuf1, during ONCE,
had regularly run the machine for his own
pecuniary interest, and charged that he had been
guilty OF numerous acts OF the most agraDt black
mailing They declare they can, and will If neces-
sary produce afidavits In support OF these asser-
tions Carhufrs friends simply deny the charges,
but have thus far been unable TO produce evidence
to the contrary. lively time is therefore looked
Tor tonight In the Council chamber.

themselves on this pont the following facts were
elicited:-
CORRESPONDENT have called sir In search Of
information regarding the causes that have led to
the suspension oil so many shoe houses In this city
late.
MANUFAcTuREg-The suspensions have occurred
Tor the most part among class OF manufacturers
who desire to compete with leading houses They

than larger houses) and sell at lower rates. Unless
they could pick up immense trade ut once 1t ma

MANuFAoTURER-Thsy have been buying in New
York instead OF Philadelphia. With the exception
OF the shoes OF one dealer in New York those Of
Philadelphia manufacture sell the best. They can't

that local buyers Will buy OF local manufacturers

the OLD fashioned way-slow and sqre. Where one
man gets rich quick nlpety nine fail.
