They light our smiles, they dry our tears;
Careless Of death or life, the calm

Hail and farewell, farewell and hail!

And bring the sad or merry mood;
Merry or sad, one thing we know
That life is good, ah, life is good!

cause of the accident.
The Victims Mostly Strangers.
At O'Clock in the afternoon the steam
er Hercules Carrel commenced the work
of removing the iron and timbers from the
river, in the hope of recovering the bodies
pinned under the wreck. Although the
excitement caused by the accident was in
tense there was noticeable absence of
the heartrending scenes usually accom-
panying such catastrophes. Most of the
men We're strangers and few had wives,
children or other relatives on the scene to
add their tears or cries to the grim spec
tacle. The corner of the Newport pier is
badly broken, and appears TO have been
weak. The story was started that the
pier, by breaking, had caused the disaster,
but there Is apparently no foundation to
this.
His Boy Is in the Wreck
Much sympathy is felt for poor Jack
Pierce, the veteran newspaper man. When
the news of the accident reached him the
mans anguish WAS pitiful. His oldest
son, Fred, formerly secretary of the Build
ers' exchange, was on the Inflated bridge
when it fell having gone to work last
Monday. For long time Jack would not
go near the terrible scene, fearing he would
learn the news that would break the
heart of the good mother lying i'll at heI
home, unconscious of the accident. Final.
~ he mustered up the courage to visit the
wreck, the hospitals and the morgue, but
could find no trace of his missing son, who
undoubtedly went down in the awful
crash. The'old man spent all the after
noon walking the streets and eagerly seek
ing tidings of his son.
One of the Sad Incidents.
Probably one Of the saddest cases con-
nected with the disaster was the death OF
James johnson, of Pittsburg, Pa, who
was one of the sub-contractors who built
the cantilever bridge between Cincinnati
and Newport. Mr.. johnson reached New
port early yesterday morning and after
eating breakfast went to the new Licking
bridge to talk with some of the workmen,
many of whom were his intimate &C
quaintances. Johnson was on the false
work when it gave way. His body has
been recovered.

William wilson Tells How 1t Feels To Be
Caught That Way.
Superintendent Sullivan says there were
sixty-three men at work on the bridge
when the crash came. Those who escaped
were at work on the upstream side of the
work, which is to the south. They fell
with the wreck, but fortunately fell on top
Of it. Those on the downstream side fell
under the wreckage and were killed and
injured. 1t is certain that those who can
not be found are lying at the bottom of
the Licking river. 1t is thought that in
addition to the workmen caught in the
wreck there were n number of spectators
who were waite hing the men at work
William Wilson, an iron work inspector
of Covington, was on the fated structure
and had a thrilling escape from death, al
though considerably injured about the
head and back.
One Was Taken the Other Left.
He made the following statement i'm
mediately after being rescued and then re-
lapsed into Inconsistencies: IL was
standing on the false work, near the trav-
eler on. the Newport side, talking with
Andy Baird, one of the contractors, who
had just arrived. Suddenly we felt the
structure sinking beneath us, and with
common impulse we started to run for the
Newport end. We had scarcely gone ten
feet when the whole structure went down,
and we were thrown headlong through

MORGAN ON THE SILVER PLANKs.
Comments on the Republican Idea and
Expectations from Chicago

Comments on the Republican Idea and
Expectations from Chicago
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The senate lust
rolled up its sleeves, pulled off its coat and
talked yesterday, and Morgan was happy.
He did most of the talking The Stewart
free coinage bill was up and Morgan
hasn't spoken more than seven times on
that subject, so he let himself out yester-
day. He began his remarks by stating
that the silver plank of the Republican
platform, adopted at Minneapolis was a
step to the front in placing silver on a
plane with gold. This plank was equivo-
cal but 1t seemed to cut loose from the
single gold standard of the senator from
Ohio. We had the right to expect at Chi
cago this month that silver be not only
made equal to gold. but that it also be
given the right of free coinage.
Then he turned his batteries on John
Sherman and arresed that pretty much
everything Sherman said in his recent
speech was false in fact or principle:
that Sherman wasn't a bimetalist, as he
claimed to be, and that he was RESPONSE
Bile for the financial condition of the
country" The Alabama senator jumped
on the international monetary conference
with both feet, and claimed that Uncle
Sam could regulate his own ratio for
himself. He read letter from Kansas
farmers wife who was once rich, but is
now poor, and said what snch "A man
wanted was a cheap money-"suitable to
his means"
Palmer of Illinois Talks.
Palmer of Illinois moved to strike out
all except the first section of the bill, the
others being unnecessary according to
both Morgan and Stewart, whom he had
heard say that the present ratio would of
itself establish parity. Palmer wanled
Stewart to tell why he put the other sec
tions in if he believed what he said, and
Stewart wanted Palmer to say whether he
would vote for the bill so amended, and
whether he was for the gold ring" or the
people. Neither got a satisfactory reply,
and after COckrell produced papers show
ing that some daddy" dollars were coined
in 1873 the senate adjourned.
