In regard to the broken bridge at Ashtabula,
Chief Engineer Collins now says that be went
over it about ten days before it fell and found
it apparently sound; but it is alleged that the
companys inspection of bridges is never verv
regular or systematic. One of the correspon-
dents says: ''If 1 should hazard a. theory. II
would be that the bridge was originally light;
that it was carrying an enormous weight of
snow, and that the heavy gale of wind blowing
brought heavy lateral strain on it; that these
influences made it give way the moment the
train, drawn by the heavy engines, struck it.
and that, by the time the engines approached

ters thinks that, in all cases where a train
drawn by two engines is to cross trestle, one
of the locomotives should be detached and sent
forward alone, relieving the structure of half
the 80 or 80 tons weight, and that this is the
course of adopted by all careful conductors and
engineers. He also deprecates the custom of
checking speed on bridges, suggesting that the
sudden jar thus communicas ed to the structure
is, In many cases, the primary cause of the
weakening and fall of railroad bridges.

Death of Commodore Vanderbilt-$S5,.
100000 for Somebody.


100000 for Somebody.
New YORK, Jan. 4.-Cemmodore Vanderbilt
died this morning at II o'clock at his residence
in Washington Place. He struggled against
his lingering disease for over half year. For
the last few days his physicians have been
hourly expecting his death. He died almost
without struggle. A change took place in his
condition at about o'clock this morning, and
he expressed desire to see the Rev. DR.. Deems.
his spiritual adviser. Dr. Deems was soon
present and the Commodore said to him, 81
think am nearly gone. Doctors
Doctor Deems prayed and themembers of the
family who were present sang a hymn. Mr..
Vanderbilt's physicians were at his bedside and
did all that medical aid could suggest to make
his last movements comfortable. The funeral
is appointed for Sunday morning
1t is estimated by those in a position to Judge
correctly that Commodore Vanderbilt was
owner of securities having present market
value of about $85O0O000, and that of this
total fully $4,000 consisted of stock and bonds
of the New York Central Hudson Railroad. 1t
is understood that the bulk of this vast prop
erty is to be kept together, and that provision
has been made for reinvesting the accTuing
interest on it in his favorite securities

buildings are at halt: mast out of respect to the

Policeman Murdered

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4.-Chas, Bielefeld, a mem
Der of the mounted police, was found dead
this morning on the track Of the ST. Louis,
Kansas City & Northern railroad near the
crossing OF the Manchester turnpike, four miles
from the centre of the city. The body was cut
and mangled beyond recognition and was only
identified by the clothing and star. Another
policeman named Purcell was badly beaten,
ously injured. The death of Bielefield ia
shrouded in mystery. The theory is that he
was murdered and his body placed on the
track to conceal the deed. Numerous high
way robberies have been committed in the past
two or three weeks in the western and north
western suburbs, AID Bielefield aud Purcell
disguised as farmers had been endeayoring to
ferret out the robbers.
