Among railway men the verdict is gen
orally accepted as correct.
While it is conceded that Madsen and
Hader were equally responsible for the
safety of themselves and others, it is an
open question whether or not the engI-
neer was aware of the existence of the
order under which he was rushing to dis,
aster. At the same time the employees
agree that it was clearly his duty to ascer-
tain the nature of the message.
Late dispatches from Denver say that
Brooks and Madsen will recover, and the
remainder of the injured will soon be
about. The condition of Roadmaster
Delaney is rapidly improving.

SOME ART REFLECTIONS.
THE TEMPLES TO THE MUSES. ON
LABELLE RIvlERE."

Past, PI esent and Future Of the Fine Arts
in the City Of CIncinnati-Its Primitive
School and Modern Ornate Shrlnes Of
the Artist and Sculptor.
The study and cultivation of the fine
arts in Cincinnati has been co-extensive
with the pursuit and development Of the
industrial arts That community is for
tunate whose citizens of wealth and in
telligence seek not only to adorn their
own estates, but, in sptrit of philan-
thropy, aim to benefit the public by a
liberal patronage of the works of master
minds. They may build mansions after
the various schools of architecture and
adorn them according to their means with
the works of the artist and sculptor, the
scientist and savan; they may establish
luxuriant private grounds and gardens
embellished with all the beauties of hor
ticulture, and, withal, the public may re-
ceive no benefits. But when these tastes
are accompanied by generous public
spirit, and in accordance Herewith tenn
Piles to art and to science arise in their
| anu WhCAj III ICoPOhoO W lANito-
tions broadspread, the patrons thereof
meet to carry out the objects embodied in
the munifcent gifts to the public from
their benefactors, and every year brings
abundant evidence of the influence and
value of these institutions, then does that
community become an acknowledged CEN
ter of culture and refinement.
There is no chapter in the history Of
Cincinnati which does not bear upon the
progress made in the cultivation of the
fine arts. The founding of the Mechanics
Institute, sixty-three years ago.. was an
auspicious beginning; and the establish
ment of an evening school in connection
Herewith, little more than score Of
years afterward, gave new impetus to the
designs of its founders
There many youth, after the tolls Of
the day, and when it would seem that his
exhausted nature demanded the healthful
restorative of rest, has applied himself to
practical study and received an in
centive which has enabled him to rise to
higher honors. 1t is said with no little
truth that the muses. seldom choose their
votaries from the salons of affiuence, but
more often from that enthusiastic class
who seek out the pearl of value-Fame
amid the Lethean waters of want and
privation. And this is no more clearly
illustrated than in the success which has
attended the first efforts of the proteges
of this institution.
The crowning event, however, in the
history of the fine arts in Cincinnati is
the erection of the Art Museum and it's
annex, the Art School. The site affords q

This institution is an important factor
in the material progress and prosperity
Of the city of Cincinnati Founded in
1928, it has not only survived the muta-

year has grown in strength and has in
creased in usefulness. 1t has not only
been promoter of the infant industries
Of Cincinnati and the Ohio Valley, but
has offered the liberal means Of practi-
cal education to thousands, many of
whom have risen to honor and influence
throughout the land. 1t was the provi-
dent parent of expositions, the first being
held under its auspices in 1888, in
Madame Trollope's Bazaar, near the
southeast corner of Third and Broadway.
1t has enrolled more than $500 scholars
since the establishment of its Practical
Mechanics School in 1850, and summon
ing to it's assistance the Chamber of Com
merce and the Board of Trade, it has
established a permanent Exposition of
the Industrial Arts of Cincinnati, whose
brilliant achievements are known and
whose medal is synonym of merit and a
mark of advancement in every branch of
the industrial arts.
The success off this philanthropic in
stitution has been attained through the

serving. It's aim and intent is to make
useful citizens; its methods are through
the rugged road of experience and upon
the firm basis of practical education

bridge consists Of five spans, one of ITO
feet, door span of $40 feet, two spans of
300 feet, and the longest, or channel span,
of $40 feet. The original estimated cost
of the bridge proper was $663, $40, but
the cost of the approaches and the ex-
penses incurred in overcoming additional
difficulties which always present them
selves in gigantic engineering projects
increased this amount to a $1,250, 900.
The northern approach is by a long,
modern trestle work, which, curving at
Amodern grade, extends to and gradually
reaches the grades of the Midland and

This bridge rests upon fine stone piers
