to ascertain the cause. The thief fed i'm.
m.diately. Nothing has as yet been found

selection of this city for the location of the
branch lunatic asylum for north Texas.
The commissioners appointed for this duty
have just left the city, after having been
here the greater part of two days, visiting
premises, examining titles, etc. Yesterday
evening sale was consummated for GAS

rate limits, on the northeast side of town,
belonging to Colonel Jim Harris and
j. A. Rushing. The average
price paid per acre is $3.50.

she may, having entered arena with twen-

We understand, the intention of the authori-
ties to begin work right away and get the

value of real esta a,e and bring the town into
notoriety, which her natural advantages
certainly deserve.
Nor is Terrell yet satisfied with the loca-
tion of the institution, but is determined
to place herself among the competing
towns for the sight Of a $4,000 college to
be located somewhere in northern Texas
Too much praise cannot be given the

The Bridge Horror.

New YORK, May 3l.-Ths universal com
ment this morning respecting the bridge
horror is, that the same accident is liable tc
happen at anytime, no matter what the
police restriction may be, unless the steps
are abolished or at least divided for the two
streams of pedestrians. The superintend
ent Of the bridge, Martin, makes the follow
ing frank statement 1.-The footpath is
certainly no safe place for such crowds as
pass over the bridge. 1t was not in.
tended to accommodate any such travel
as we are having. AS to the steps, il
had been decided to put railing un
and down the middle to divide
people going one way from those going the
other. The railing would have been
crowded up the same way beyond the top
Of the steps ana of course we should carry
1t probably hundred feet along. This
was one OF the alterations we had already
once. Then we are going to place the side
railing on the steps little further back.
Some space is now lost by them. Then
further back between the cables we can
widen the passage by placing the railing
further apart and against the cables and
this is to be done"
Gould not steps be dispensed With"
was asked.
"Well, we could build what Is called q
ramp, an inclined plane from the top OF
the steps to point further down The
bridge, but there would be some dauser in
making the grade any sleeper, and par.
ticularly in wet or icy weather."
To the SUPERINTENDENT statement may
be added the fact now obvious that du .
ing those hours of the day when transit is
most lively, and on holidays and Sundays,
there will always be great danger of a heavy
crush similar to yesterday, unless means OF
relieving 1t be devised. Not even the
bridge cable track for cars, now nearly com
pleted, vii, prevent crush at those times
Additional list Of the injured; Peter Rea-
gan, aged "a, lacerated scaln wound; un-
known man, ribs and arms broken.
When the approach was cleared at last,
1t was literally covered with articles of
clothing and personal property abandoned
in the struggle. They were viewed with
amazement by people coming over from
Brooklyn, who had not heard of the disa.
Ter. In the excitement, William Oxford
aged i5, drunken man, deliberately
jumped from the bridge approach into VIII
kin street, receiving severe internal injuries
and external bruises.
The coroner will subpoena the bridge
trustees, Superintendent Martin and ali
Others who can give any information in
reference to the accident of yesterday. He
intends the investigation to be thorough. |.
No action has yet been taken by the bridge
trustees. The superintendent acknowl-
edges that the space allotted for foot pas
sengers is insufficient, but thinks when
trans BEGIN to run and time has lessened
curiosity. 1t will be found ample. 1t is
believed that a full list of the dead and
seriously injured will be given.
Inspector Byrne denies the panic was
caused by pick pockets. II was due, he
claims, to the inefliciency of the bridge
management. BY paying the salaries OF
regular policemen the trustees could se-
cure them and thus secure the safety
