collapse OF tho Huntington Bridge-The
Channel Span Gives Way, Going Down

sf Driftwood the Cause.

Channel Span Gives Way, Going Down
with q Crash-I3ig River and Pressure
sf Driftwood the Cause.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 90 Tho splendid half
completed Huntington Bridge across the
Ohio river, which had stood the pressure of
high water and driftwood for several days,
went down at o'clock this morning. 1t
caused report that could be heard two
miles away. The collapse was witnessed
by hundreds of people, who crowded the
south end OF the bridge in Covington. 1t
was terrific and awful sight to wi.ness,
end meant not only the destruction OF a
oreat deal OF valuable property, but the
obstruction Of great enterprise for
considerable length of time. For sew
eral days the engineer In charge OF
the construction of the bridge has beep
apprehensive. There had been constant
rains, and there has been high water for
week. Great quantities Of drift-wood has
been coming down and piling up against
the trustle, or false work Of the bridge
Rvery artifice known to engineering skill
had been resorted to to get the drift down
through the open channel that was loft.
But II could not be handled. The
drift has been coming down in such guam
titles, In the last few days, that nothing
could be done to steer it past. To give an
adequate idea of the immensity Of the
collapse when 1t came it should be stated
that this trestlework was one hundred feet
high, and on top of it all was what the
bridge people call traveller, 10i feet high.
This left gigantic wooden structure, 204
feet high, loaded down with iron, freight
cars, etc., to take lofty tumble into the
now muddy waters of the turbulent Ohio.
The span swept toruin was completed with
the exception Of four bents. Thirty
barges, ell belonging to the bridge,
were carried away. The loss to the rail-
road company will be simply in the delay.
1t was expected that the first trains would
be run over the bridge into the Grand Cen
tral Station in Cincinnati on January /,
but this will delay it forty-ave days ao-
cording to present estimates. The loss Of
$125, 900 will fall heavily upon the Phoenix
Bridge Company, Of Phoenixville, Pa,
which has the contract for the entire con-
struction of the bridge. They have the
contract at 100000 the iron work alone
to cost s, 100000.

CANADIANS EXERCISED
Over the Message From President
Cleveland
Recommending Legislation to Abolish the
oonding System.

MONTREAL, Aug. 24.-The news Of Pres
Ident Cleveland's message to Congress,
asking power to enforce retaliation
against Canada, caused intense excite-
ment in this city. That a severe blow will
be struck at the prosperity Of the Domin-
ion IL Congress sanctions this policy OF
non intercourse is admitted by all, but
people can not understand why the step
has been taken. Politicians gave II as
their opinion that all Canada could dowas
to assume the defensive, pursue her own
policy as II nothing had happened and
await the time when the American people,
particularly those of the Northwestern
States, should grow weary Of the confne-
ment of their natural trade, which, it
is predicted, would be but very few
months. Hon. J. A Champleap, Secretary
of State, who is in town, expressed much
surprise when shown the dispatch, and,
while admitting that 1t was very serious
matter and one which required consider
able thought, said no preferred not to tall
until he had consulted his colleagues OF
the Cabinet. The honorable gentleman
aid he had no official news on the subject,
but anticipated that the matter would
hasten the return of the Ministers from
their holidays, as an early council
would have to be called TO consider 1t.
Sir Donald A. Smith, NJ p. for Montreal
West, also declined to talk on the subject,
which he declared came to him like a
thunder clap. He considered the matter
now out OF the region Of personal politics
and raised to the level of an important
question of Government policy. Therefore
II would be best to leave it to the Queens
Ministers. There was no doubt 1t was a
very grave step, and one which would
cause much pain to the true friends of am
icable relations between the two countries.
lie hoped, however, it was but passing
storm, and that after it was over the two
countries would resume their old friendly
relations

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Pail Man Gdscite
referring to the rejection of the Fisheries
Treaty by the United States Senate, says
II Is thankful that tho Chamberlain mis-
sion had not made the difficulty more seri-
Gus than II was before. Senator Morgan's
speech, II says, was buncombe. The re-
lection of the treaty simply relegates tho
whole question TO an amicable settlement
after the Presidential election. The paper
further says: "Nether Americans nor
Englishmen are lunatics and the world
will not be plunged into bath of blood
because opinions differ over kettle OF
fish. The matter will be again negotiated
after the election and in the meantime we
can cultivate India rubber-like forbear-
ance and cool temper"

1t has been great mystery to many
persons why the dark, rich-colored
wood so much used for furniture should
be called rosewood Its deep-tiutod,
ruddy-streaked surface certainly does
not resemble the rose, SO we must seek
some other reason for the name. Here
it is: When the tree is first cut, the
fresh wood exha les very strong, rose
like fragrance. which soon passes away,
leaving no trace Of the peculiar odor.
There are several varieties of rosewood
trees; the best, however, are those
found In South America and the East
Indies, and neighboring islands 81
