A BRIDGE FALLS.
Sudden and Fatal Disaster at
Louisville, KY.
Many Men Lose Their Lives and Others
Are Injured-Eight Bodies RecoV-
cred and Seventeen Others
Are Missing.
FOLLOWED BY FATE.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 16.-The new
Louisville and JeffersonyIlle bridge,
notorious for series Of unusual mis-
fortunes since its inception, was the
scene of a double accident Friday in
which large number of lives were
lost and many other persons in
jured, making it the worst dis
aster in this vicinity since the great
cyclone of three years ago. During a
high wind at 1918 o'clock Friday morn
ing the middle 550-foot span of the
bridge over the middle of the
Ohio river collapsed with the false work
under it and threw more than fifty
workmen into the river, twenty five or
more being caught under the mass and
crushed to death or drowned, while at
least score were injured, some of
whom cannot recover.
The Dead.
Following Is a correct list of the dead
as obtained up TO midnight:
Frank D. Burns, Franklin, Pa, picked up
dead in river: C W Cook, Mantua, O., leg
mashed and head crushed, died In city hos

Louisville, dead when found; Frank Miller,

Charles Murphy, No 400 State street, Chicago,
died at city hospital j. G. Garlock, Louisville,
dead whom found
Seventeen persons are missing. The
injured so far as known number four
teen.
Cause of the Accident.
The accident was due to the insecure
placing of the traveller" The wind
still further loosened it, and an
order was given to draw it back
into its place and the engines
were started The wind was high,
and the swaying of the false work
forced the traveller from the piles on
which it was placed. When the end
slipped off the men realized their dan
ger. The engineer called to the men
and ten of the fifty-one on the span es-
capped. Forty-one men fell 10 feet
into the water.
Frequent Mishaps
The bridge has been under construc-
ton for number of years and several
times work has been suspended for
lack of funds. Two years ago the
Masonic savings bank failed because
of its connection with the bridge com
pany Recently financial assistance
was obtained and work was resumed.
Three years ago, in constructing the
piers, dreadful accident happened at

twelve men. Accidents have been fire.

generally 60 against it. There are
plenty of reasons for this, in the in,
difference of its friends and the re-
sentiments OF its enemies, especially
when the administration has not de-
voted itself to political activities.
And hard times always tell against
the patty in power. 1t matters little
whether that party is responsible.
The hard times may have resulted di-
rectly from the policy of the party that
has been supplanted. To the average
voter that is merely theory. He has
to do with condition. In the pres
ent case he only knew that the times
were hard and that the Democrats
were in. SO he was against the Dem.
ocrats were in. So he was againstthe
Democrats
eSFhe silver question has also hurt
the Democrats. In Massachusetts, the
delay in repeating the Sherman act
was an argument against them, while
the repeal itself was against them in
the West. There is as much logic in
one case as in the other, but off.year
elections are rarely determined by
logic.
The most interesting of yesterdays
results, and the only one that was not
generally expected, is the Democratic
defeat in New York. But that ia not
defeat OF the administration. It is a
defeat of Hill and his Tammany or
