for $50 interest be cashed and the money
sent to NJ. D. Young, Chicago, care of S.

officers by means of a dscoy letter discov-
cred that NJ. D. Young vas S A Brewer

Swinging Bridge.
CHICAGO, July 31.-As a street car went
on the Harrison street bridge the bridge
shook and swayed, and the lever that is
used in Tightening the bridge in place
swung round and struck Miss Nellie Rior-
dan, of Il Seldom street, in the groin, pass
ing through her body and making hole
in the back of the seat When those
present ran to her aid they were Mortified
by the fearful sight presented by the i'm
paled woman. Blood was pouring from
the wound in the side and flowing on the
floor OF the car. A physician who was
summoned from a house nearby said the
woman would bleed to death If the lever
was withdrawn from her body
A saw was procured and the lever was
sawed off two feet from Miss Riordan's
body. The woman, with portion of the
lever still penetrating her body, was con-
veyed to the county hospital The attend
ing physician said she would probably
bleed to death as soon as the piece of lever
was removed. A priest and her friends
were sent for and restoratives were ap-
piled. Miss Riordan regained conscious
ness and was told that she would probably
soon die. She took farewell of her
friends after the priest had given her alb
solution. The hospital surgeons then E.
moved the piece of The lever from her
body, after which she sank rapidly and in
a few minutes died rom loss of blood.

DULUTH, July 31.-George c. Spencer,
president of the Lake Superior Elevator
company, and Colonel Graves, formerly
pre- ident of the same company and d.
rector of the Northern Pacific Elevator
company, deny in every detail the story
sent out from New York that New Eng
land and New York banks have been vic
timized by forged certificates issued by the
Northern Pacific company. "There is abb
solutely no truth in the story" said Mr..
Spencer. There has been no over-issue of
certificates and no use of forged certifi-
Gates as collateral in New York or any
place else.
THE only possible foundation for the
story is the fact that plan for the reor-
ganization of the company is under con-
sideration under which the debts of the
Northern Pacific company will be taken
up, and Mr.. Kellogg, of St. Paul, attorney
for the company, has just returned from
Boston where he submitted the plan to
the banks that are creditors of the North
ern Pacific company. The scheme for re-
organization has been accepted and it is
practically assured"
Colonel Graves said: st is a sensation
al story without any foundation of truth.
No forged certificates were ever issued
or used for collateral. The Northern Pa
cific company met with losses, but there
was nothing fraudulent in the matter"

CHICAGO, July 3l.-The Erie railway for
about the sixth time is in the hands of a

reached that condition is locked up in the
breasts of those who got the money. In
the vocabulary of the street" the.road.has
been manipulated out of SIG, 100000 and
the re eiver has nothing but a shell to
look after Up to September, 1884, the
surplus of the road had reached the total
of Owe 1924 600. Last year was very
profitable one for the road, but in spite of
that fact floating debt was contracted of
So, 100000 so that the total Doodle secured
by the manipulators is as stated above,
S16,0O0,000.
The liabilities of the road are s162. OOO.-
600 and SOL miles of road is the total
security for the liabilities, making a
burden of 1924 600 on each mile of the road.
What the bondholders now are anxiouslv
inauiring is: Where Is that enormous
sum of money gone? Who got it and
howf" The 100000 that has disap-
peared is alleged in the statement accom-
panying the application for receivers to
