Special Dispatch to the Leader.
OMAHA, Dec. 1.-The interstate com.

railroad officials was a grand 6zzle aud
today the whole matter was dropped.
THE whole business has been dismissed,
abandoned or thrown overheard, P" said a
gentleman last night who is right on the

lore the federal grand Jury and that is
certain"
When pressed for a definite answer as
to the actual status of the charges, United
States Attorney Baker gave it out cold
that the charges were practically dropped
for want OF evidence. MI. Kretschmer
became convinced that the companies
could not be prosecuted upon the EVIL
dence within reach and he requested that
the matter be dropped rather than make
an unsuccessful effort to prosecute.
Special Agent kretschuer Of the Inter
State Commerce Commission was in the
city again this afternoon and in speaking
of the complaints against the railroads
said: AN impression seems to have
gone out that these cases have been
abandoned. That is a mistake, at least

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 1.-The
Canadian Pacific steamer Express China
arrived here today, having left Yokohama
Nov. l9. The vessel had a very stormy
passage with head winds on a hurricane

When off the Alentisn islands, a wave
stove in the steel lite boat and swept over
the hurricane deck, water rushing down
the tunnels and grating, extInguishing
the fires in some of the furnaces. The
mail boat was carried over spar on the
ships decks by the force of the wind.
She wcathered the storm braveiY and

one boat slightly damaged IN Nov. 28th.

les. Two cold waves during the month
were attended by unusually cold weather,
producing the temperature from one to
two degrees lower than ever previously
recorded for this season OF the year, and
carried the frost line south over Northern
Florida.
During the month the precipitation has
been in excess generally throughout the
central valleys, in the lake region and in
the Dakotas, while less than usual on the
coasts and from Texas North TO Nebraska.
The heavy rainfalls over the winter wheat
region doubtless resulted in some benefit
to the crop, but not as much as was ex-
pccted owing to the recent low tempers-
ture which has left the ground frozen.
The warm wave now extending over the
central valleys will cause a thawing
throughout the winter wheat region.

Only a Week Ago His Wife
Passed Away.
HIS Daughter Now Dying and
His Son Insane.
The Sorrowful Story of a
Blasted Fortune.
A Sad Anniversary.


New York. Dec. 2.-Fitty-one years
ago today a New England youth, known
as Cyrus West Field, stood at the mar
rage altar, full of vigor, hope and sturdy
ambition. His strength made its impress
upon the century, his hope bore him up
in his work and bis ambition has been
rewarded with medals, with knighthood
aud with the thanks OF the United States
congress. Hand in hand the New Eng
land youth and his helpful wife came
honorsbly down through half a century of
time, almost to the present day.
Little more than one week ago, how
ever, the woman he welded on the day
OF his majority died. Tonight. berett oil

son. Cyrus W. Field lies diving at -

anniversary of Cyrus w. Fields marriage
adds a new sadness to the story of the
day. A member Of the family tonight
came from the bedside of Cyrus W. Field

Edward NJ. Field appealed to his father
recently for assistance TO prevent the
failure of the firm, all his resources hav

to assist him and authorized him to take

every negotiable security from the box,

THE OVERHEAD BRIDGES.
The Randolph Street Bridge Likely to BE
Completed Within Six Weeks.

The Randolph Street Fridge Likely to BE
Completed Within Six Weeks.
The city has completed its work on
the overhead bridges. The Norfolk and
Western is finishing its part on the
stone work as rapidly as possible, and
the abutments and piers OF the Ran
dolph street bridge will be ready to re-
ceive tho suporstructure in about ten
days.
James A. Mcconnell, chairman of the
special bridge committee, said yesterday
that it only depended on tho American
Bridge Works as to how soon the bridge
at this point would be up. There was
Stlll some grading and excavating to do,
but it would be completed by tho time
the piers were up.
There has been some talk about the
threatened injunction against this
bridge. Mr.. Miller, the city solicitor. does
not think anything will come of it, and
that tho work will be allowed to go on
without interruption. lie added that
Judge Robertson was out OF tho city and
no injunction could be secured except
from Judge Blair, of the circuit court.
Tho American Bridge Works are not
doing much on the superstructure at
PAtSehI o"liiB w INC pressure LOT the
completion OF previous orders. They
arc working on the Randolph street
bridge, however. but it will be several
weeks before it is ready to be placed in
position. The Radford bridge, an i'm
mense superstructure to cross New
river for the West Radford Land and
Improvement Company, is taxing the
capacity of these works, together with
many other orders which were placed
some time previous before the overhead
bridges.
1t is safe to say that the Randolph
street bridge will be completed and
placed on the abutments within six
weeks. Capt. II. DAWN is doing the
stone work for the railroad company,
and is rushing it with his usual vigor
and energy.
After the Randolph street bridge is
completed the work of placing the
Park-strect bridge will begin. 1t will
not take long to complete the masonry
for this bridge, as work has already be-
gun on all the piers.
Tbs north side pier of the Henry
street bridge has not been started vet,
but will be built in conjunction with
the new freight depot. This will be
