railing Of Bridge in England.

Bath, June 6.-The Widicombe sus-
pension bridge fell to-day, and about
one hundred persons were precipitated,
30 feet, into the river Avon. Eight
dead bodies have been recovered and it
is feared that others persisted. Many
were injured.
Another account represents the dis
aster as much more serious, but the de-
tails are not sufficient to know whether
it is exaggerated or not.
London, June 6.-5 p. m.-Later adj
vices from Bath say that twenty dead
bodies of the victims of the Widicombe
suspension bridge accident, have been
recovered, and several are still missing.
1t is now said that there were nearly
two hundred people on the bridge when
it fell.
Bath, June 80 p. M.--From II to
two hundred persons, mostly well-to-do
farmers, were upon the toll bridge lead
ing from the railway platform when it
fell. 1t was a light wooden structure,
about thirty feet long and thirty to
forty feet high, without centre support.
1t snapped in the middle and the ends
were wrenched clean off, when the
whole mass was plunged into the
stream, which was about seven feet
doep. The work of rescuing the vic
Tins isnow going on.

THE u. p. a. q. paofosiTIoa.


We reproduce from yesterdays issue
the proposition made by Assistant Gem
eral Superintendent Clark, in behalf of
the U. 7. r. r. Co., to furnish this city
with water for the extinguishment of
fires. We publish this document for
the second time at the request of some
of our patrons, and shall probably keep
it in-these columns until after the next
| meeting of our Board of Trustees. We
| shall also gladly print the proposition
| of any other corporation or individual,
/ having in view the construction of wa
ter works. In our humble opinion wa
| ter works are of most vital Importance
to our existence as n city, and until
they shall be an accomplished fact. THE
LEADER will keep the subject in the
foreground OF its field of discussion.
We have at present only II fair and
square proposition before ms. Mr.. j. L.
Clark has laid the matter before us In a
plain. straightforward and business-like
manner. lie tells you what he is going
10 do-this and nc more-if you accept
Of his proposition. OF course, his
plan is not perfect. and therefore does
not please everybody. In the absence
of a proposition from responsible par
ties TO furnish Cheyenne with u system
of water works for general purposes,
for the extinguishment of fires and
all domestic uses, we, give it. our un-
qualified approval. We are willing to
take half n loaf, if we cannot get a
whole n We are willing to take Il
supply OF water for ire purposes
only, if We cannot get water for
general use. The great advantage of
this scheme, in our judgment, lies in
the fact that the pipes to be laid by the
city for its use, will remain the city's
property, and can be utilized at any
time in the future, when the city shall
build water works of its own. In fact,
if we accept this proposition, we SIM
ply commehceGa system of works which
can be completed at any time, or when
ever our Taxpayers want to expend
hiOIiVN clousu lol tHub uTpOS ouT
outlay this year in that direction will
be about seven thousand dollars, for
the purchase. Eand laying of. pipes
through the business portion of Chey-
enne; this will be a fair beginning for
tue present year, and if our people feel
wealthy next year, they can complete
their water works by Spending $40, 900
more.
The annual expense to the city, under
Mr.. Clark's plan, will be S1,641, which
amount can be offset by doing away
with the steam engine and the services
Of an engineer. We have been assured
by a competent engineer, that the
pumping works to be erected by the U.
2. II. II. on Grow Creek, are.of such n
powerful construction that no doubt
remains that water can he thrown eff
fectively through three thousand feet
Of hose, attached to the several by
1rants to be erected by the city.

Leayenworth, Kan, June 3.-The
detachment of soldiers under command
of Col. Sheridan, having in charge the

9TH regiment who fell with Custer in the
slaughter on the Little Big Horn, will
arrive at Fort Leayenworth on the 23d
the anniversary of the ~battle-and
the remains will be buried with all due
honors, in the National cemetery there.
The troops at the fort will turn out, to-
gether with the citizens of Leaven-
worth, to pay the last respects TO those
who fell on that terrible day. The 18th

Il long time, and was Il great favorite
here.

Sidney Dillon, when in Chicago q few
days ago, informed . reporter that he
hoped to ~ndvancest Black Hills
branch of the Union Pacific some dis
lance this season, and that the ultimate
intention is to extend it as far north as
Tongue river, and farther if the toute
be found feasible. -.g
Gen. Jas. A. Evans, chief of the re-
cent surveying parties, came in yester-
day from Omaha. He was interviewed
in regard to the railroad matter, but
while expressing his warm friendship
for Cheyenne, and his earnest desire to
see the Black Hills branch start from
mere, yet was unable to say whether
Cheyenne is'or. is not to be the initial
point.
The Omaha Herald gives up the Sid
ney-North Platte-G Grand Island ghost
in the following words:
1.-THE BLACK HILLS BRASCH.
1t beginst to bepretty well understood
chat the Black Hills branch railroad
will not intersect the Union Pacific at
any point within these State hounda-
ries. In making the law which gives
our legislature the power to fix the
rates which our State railroads shall
charge for carrying freight and passen-
gers, we have been l~egislating for Wyo-
ming, in other words. and Wyoming
ought to be Very grateful to our wise
men for the success they have achieved
in building railroads in the pold-rimmed
Territory at Nebraska's expense"

1t is significant that nothing was said

A STRANGE CONFESSION,

\ remarkable murder trial is going
on at Dixon, Illinois. Elder McGhee
is q minister of that thriving city, and
has charge of the spiritual welfare Of
the Christian members who attend the
Christian church. The defendant is in
trouble, for lie is accused of having
poisoned his wife 50 that he might be
enabled, so it is charged, to accomplish
the marriage rites with u young and
seductive damsel, mt of his parishon-
ers, named Rita Paddock. The fact
that the poison was administered is
beyond all question, and that the cleri-
cal culprit purchased the same has also
been proven. In connection with this
is the proof positive of his having
acted strangely regarding his wife and
her demise. Just here, the youthful
but 'hslf-witted daughter Of McGhee,
steps forward upon the witness stand
and cOnfesses that she gave the poison
to her mother, and subsequently on
being Intercepted further on the
subject, says that her father urged her
to make this statement, knowing it to
be false. At this stage of the trial.
which has been proceeding smoothly
enough until this hitch occurred. the
defense steps in and arraigns the physi-
clan in charge of the deceased lady's
case as the real criminal, much to that
gentleman's disgust. How the affair
will end now is hard to state, but
If Elder McGhee, the minister, is
guilty of tile horrible offense against
society and the laws which govern it,
the sooner the twelve good men and
true, who are acting on the jury, agree
to a verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree, and the sooner the Judge
sentences him thereafter to be hanged
by the neck until dead, dead, dead, the
better we shall be satisfied that justice
is not slumbering, at least in Illinois.

New Financial Policy.

Washington, June G.-The Treasury
is paying out now only llrge L. S.
notes for drafts. This is the beginning
ot a movement intended to place the
Z. S. Treasury circulation upon n
European footing, with no small bills
in existence, and with specie as the
medium of small operations. The idea
is to get silver out i'll rs large quanti-
ties as the Treasury can supply, and
also to make people prefer small bank
notes to large legal tenders.

IL England, in ministerial circles,
there is Il renewal Of the uneasiness
which prevailed when Russia declared
war, as to the part the English govern

entertained by high military authori-

British government will, eventually, lie

and that Austria, an ally that England
undoubtedly expects to depend upon II

in the event Of serious complications
that would lead to a declaration of wal
