FOUR MORE BODIES FOUND.
Another Span Of the Licking River Bridge
Falls With Crash.

CINcISNATI, June l6.-With the ap-
prosch of daylight people began to
gather on the banks of the Licking
river where the fsted bridge went down
with its scores of human lives yester-
day, and In few hours thousands of
men, women and children were watch
ing the work of rescuing the bod les yet
in the wreck. A half hundred brave
men had volunteered their services,
and under the direction OF the bridge
company commenced an earnest search
for the dead. Owing to the vast
amount Of iron on the structure when
n fell the work was difficult and neces-
sarily slow. An hour after it was be-
gun two bodies were found pinned
down by heavy timbers. They were
taken out. but could not at that time
be identified.
About 9 O'Clock, while the work WAS
being prosecuted, terrific crash was
heard. Another section of the bridge,
loosened and tottering on the Newport
side, fell, carrying with It 1000 pounds
OF ropes and pulleys. Five men were
at work just under it at the time it
gave way. but . warning cry saved
their lives.
Nearly all OF the identified dead have
been claimed by relatives. There Is
yet one body unidentified at Menlng-
er's undertaking establishment. Will
liam Baird, the surviving brother OF the
contractors, has received messages Of
sympathy from several large bridge
companies throughout the country.
Fred Pierce. the son Of Jack Pierce,
the newspaper man, Who was reported
yesterday ~ one of the killed. returned
to his home last night. Unknown TO
his father he laid of early In the fore
noon. At st. Elizabeth hospital the
injured are doing we'll, with tho excep-
ton OF w. +. Wilson, whose chances
for recovery are hopeless. His spine is
hurt aud he is injured internally.
Up 10 noon four more bodies have
been found, but they are stiil IN the
wreckage pinned down by heavy TIM
bers and iron work. They are William
Wessling, Frank Muir, man named
Leonard and en- unknown man. The
revised lists OF the killed and injured
are being made up on both sides of the
Licking river. Until these are COM
pietea IL will be Impossible to give .
fair estimate of the number OF lives lost
by the disaster. William Baird eays
there were exactly forty men on the
structure when IT collapsed. The death
roll has reached twenty one, with four
still Ia the wreck but located. making
tofai Of twenty live destas and four

RUMoRS OF A HILL TRADE.
His Followers Said TO Be Dickering witt
the Westerners.


the Westerners.
CHICAGO, June l6.-Already are there
rumors Of trades and combinations,
though bat few delegates are on the
ground. Tue story afioat today drlfted
out from the Cleveland headquarters
at the Grand Pacific. Ii Was TO the
effect that the Hill men despairing OF
nomnating the junior New York sen
ator, and decided upon an
anybody 10 = beat Cleveland policy.
and TO this end would throw
ali the Hill woes in the convention
to the western cLndidate WHO develops
the most strength N the first few bal
lots IN the convention. IL was asserted
that the dickering had already been be-
gun, the frst oyertures having been
made, so IL Was stated, to the friends
Of Senator John NJ. Palmer of Illinois.
The proposal Of the Hill leaders in
volved, SD the story ran, the nomina-
ton OF MIR. Hill Tor the vice presidency.
Ii was figured out that Senator Palmer
could get the vote OF the entire Illinois
delegation II 1t were shown that he
stood . good chance Of winning. Other
western delegations would switch over
to Palmer, il Was hoped, when the New
York delegation had declared for him.
Some people were unkind enough to
insiuuate that Mr.. Hill world be will
ing TO accept the vice presidency with
Senator Palmer at the head OF the
ticket only because OF the advanced
age of the latter and with the under
standing that the vice president would
be more of factor III the adminIstra-
tim than that official usually is. WHAT
truth might be IN the story was not
easily discoversble because no one
seemed TO possess specific information
~ 10 the alleged deal, and even John
Tracy. the Cleveland advance guard
pronounced Il ridiculous. though he
evidently attached more importance to
il than he was willing to admit.
