Disaster is visiting the completion of the last Of the
three bridges swept away at this point by the spring
floods. Yesterday morning the town was greatly ex-
cited over the demolition Of the east span of false
work. which went down with crash carrying with IL
ten men, all of whom were less injured Three
presumed to be injured fatally. The distance from
the top OF the span TO the water is nearly
forty feet Last night was extremely cold, and THIS
morning the Susquehanna was full of huge cakes of
floating ice, while the water IRON the rains on Sunday
night increased and the violence augmented the
current, as the second span of false work which ex-
tended from the second pier the east side to the
completed portion of the structure torn away this
afternoon, about i've O'Clock, carrying with 1t all the
iron floor beams and good portion of the bottom
cords The timber noated away with the current but
the iron sunk
The contract for building this bridge was awarded to
the King Iron Bridge Company, Of Cleveland Ohio who
will be heavy losers by this catastrophe. There will
be great delay now in completing the structure, and
much disappointment in consequences,

"RosE MICHEL AT THE UNION SQUARE THEATRE
The interest in "Rose Micheln increases, and not
wthstanding the intense cold of last night the Union
Square Theatre crowded to 1t ought to be
good play and good performance that could induce
people to leave comfortable resides night not fit for
Polar Bear to be In 'Rose Michc quite enough
It is certainly strong play having its plot elements
OF unfalling interest-a concealed crime, innocence
falsely and maternal beautifully expressed
and contrssted in two different characters The da-
logue is pathetic and witty and tho characters
powerfully drawn. Here is the basis of success for
fine company and perfect scenery only to
make bad play more odious. Good acting and good
scenery not only wasted in such service but they
actually bring out the faults OF bad play into boder
relief But "Rose Michel" is worth the pains be-
slowed upon it 1t affords Miss Rose Eytnge touching,
serious role TO which she mparts deep pathos and dra
matte force gives Mr. Stuart Robson ample for his
peculiar humor and in fact all the principal members
OF the company. Miss Fanny Morant, Miss Nina
Varian, and Messrs. Thorne, Parselle, Robinson and
Soddard have capital opportunities The performance
is its entirety very efective-a finished picture The
scenery of course, is worthy OF the reputation the
Union Square Theatre has won by series of magnf-
cent productions. The effects In the fifth
act-the dark gallery OF the prison,
the swinging lamp, tho red light that
streams in from the prison gate, the pale moonlight
that floods the rivers and bridges of Paris from
the ramparts where the sentinel keeps his round make
picture that is seldom rvaled the stage The rest
of the scenery in sRose Micheln is superb but this
effect has poeca beauty which deserves recog-
milton true work Of art
