The bridge which gave way is 100 feet high.
The scene of the wreck is appalling. On one
part OF the bridge are a number of ties heaped
together, some OF them splntered to atoms. A
partially demolished Pullman car occupies a
place on the bridge. The dining-car stands
almost perpendicularly upon its end. The
upper end leans against one Of the vast
stone piers. The hind wheels OF the car be-
came detached from il just before it took
its fearful leap and they now nestle in the
iron frame work Of the bridge. The irst-class
coach took a complete somersault in it's descent

nearly demolished. heap of debris lies az

WHY LAWYER ROBERTS FRIEND WAS NoIsY.-
"He's not acquainted with our ways" said
Lawyer Roberts, in the Police Court to-day in
the case of his friend, Louis Busky, who was
charged with making too much noise on llth
street last night. The lawyer explained that
his friend was from New Orleans. A stranger
asked him for some change, and when he took
a roll of bills from his pocket the stranger
grabbed the money and ran. That was why
his friend made SO much noise. His collateral
was returned.

vides that all corporations save railroads and
canals should not be operated for q longer
term than thirty years. The supreme court
has held that after thirty years all assets should
be sold and the proceeds divided among the
stockholders. Therefore law providing re-
organization for another thirty years would bs

LONDON, March 2S.-The Pal Mall Gdzette
formulates the general feeling in urging a
burial in Westminster abbey for John Bright
HIS inclusion is necessary 10 complete English
history as it is written in its monuments. There
are plenty, it says, of representatives Of public
life in England under the oligarchy. In John
Bright would be represented the progress
toward democracy. The efigy of Chatham
represents patriotic minister of war. John
Bright is wanted for patriot tribune Of peace.
The Gazette points also to Bright's command of
the English tongue and his sympathy with the
English-speaking race in America, as occasions
for an offer Of burial in the abbey which will
certainly be made, but his family will proba-
bly, decline it. The people recall his reference
when first invited to JOIN the cabinet. to
the story of the Shunammite woman who an
swered, Il wish to dwell among mine own pco-
ple." 1t is known he left instructions for
private burial, without wreaths or any osten-
tatlon, in the graveyard of the Friends meet

his wishes are overruled the burial will take

CAPITOL TOPICS.

LOOKING TO EARLY ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE.
Senator Sherman this morning introduced a
resolution in the Senate directing the Vice.
President to appoint a committee to wait on
the President and inquire If he has any further
communications to make to the Senate. He
asked for the resolution to go over until to-
morrow. This is regarded as indicating an
agreement on the confirmation of all the nomi-
nations pending, and that the adjournment Of
the Senate may be looked for on Saturday.
NO PRAYER.
When the Vice-President called the Senate
to order at l o'clock to-day he found himself in
an awkward situation. He had hammered his
handleless gavel on the desk and the Senate
had come to order. Then there was a pause.
Mr.. Morton looked down at his right and at his
left and among the pages seated on the steps,
Then there was moments pause. The Senate
was in order and waiting. The custom is for
the chaplain to start the days proceedings
with prayer. The Senate was waiting
for this prayer and the Vice-President
was looking for the chaplain. But no chaplain
was there. Mr.. Morton was for a moment in
doubt. Then he seized the situation with a
firm hand. THE clerk will read the Journal
of the proceedings of the last session." The
clerk read, an expression of doubt ana anxiety
rested on the countenances of the devout Sena-
tors, and the Senate proceeded on its way with
no prayer to ward off the dangers Of the day.

P. Williamson, counsel for Waters. one of the
men arrested in connection with the robbery of
jewelry from Lieut.. Tyler's house, as mentioned
elsewhere in The STAR, asked Judge Miller to
fix bail, as he desired to secure his clients re-
lease. He understood that Waters was to be
used as witness, as he had turned up the val
uable property in the case. Prosecuting At
torney Armes said that the defendant, Waters,
would probably be charged with receiving stolen
goods. as he had not told the officers the whole
truth. He suggested that $1,000 would be the
amount that he would ask at present in view of
the fact that the property amounted to $4,000,
and it was not certain what charge would be
made against Waters. The question was not
