Testing the New Fourth 3
Street Bridge.
FOR LEVELS AND STRENGTH.
A Possibility That Pedestrians May
Be Accommodated by the New
Structure Shortly.

There was an interesting ceremo onY down
at the foot of Fourth street yesterday
afternoon which may cheer the hearts of
many who had given up hopes of seeing
the new Fourth-street bridge completed.
The bridge was subjected to a thorough
test for strength and trueness of levels,
ana if the result of the tests. which will be
finished to-day, prove satisfactory it is pos
sible that the bridge may be thrown open
to pedestrians very shortly. For wheel
traffic it is not likely that the bridge will
be available until after it has been for
mally accepted by the Supervisors. who
will not meet until September 4th.
The public who have occasion to cross
the channel at this .point to the Potrero
have long complained of the delay in the
completion of the bridge. Plans for it
were ready in January last and the con-
tract called for its completion in May. A
new Board of Supervisors was in and two
months sped before it appointed an in

luck for the waits was the flooding of the

were then suffered and the men were be-

longer and the boy breathed his last in lis

This left only four men surviving-Cap-

Death Was Instantaneous.

SING SING, N. Y, April 9.-James w.
Hamilton, q colored ex-preacher and
convicted wife murderer, died in the
electric chair ts-day. The death warrant
was read by Warden Brown in the con-
demned mans cell at 4l;30 o'clock last
night. Hamilton sat on the bed and
showed some signs of emotion when the
document was read.
Hamilton walked with firm step to the
death chamber. Two priests were close
beside him. Hamilton took his scat in
the chair with glance OF curious inter-
est in the surroundings. HIS lips moved
in response to prayers for the prisoner,
which Father Creeden repeated, but no
words could be heard.
Hamilton was quickly strapped in the
chair. At 11:10-3 all connections were
made and Warden Brown gave the sig
nal. A current of 1,740 volts were turned
on and the victim in the chair jumped
upward, straining at the straps, and re-
manned rigid. 4 crucilix which he held
in his right hand was clusped still tightly,
but his lips stopped moving and all signs
of life ceased at the instant Of contact.
The current was left on for sixty seconds,
then turned off. The physicians stepped
forward and listened for heart beats and
felt 1Or Tile pulse. 1ney ueclareu lne Suu-
ect dead at ll:l3-10.
The electrocution differed from all it's
predecessors in that only one shock was
given. There was no scorching or scald-
Ing Of the skin or steaming at the cleo
troids, and while the man was above me-
dium height and of massive build, it was
evident that death was instantaneous.
Such was the verdict Of all who were
present who had seen former executions
in the electric chair. Electrician Davis
said it wss the most successful at which
he had otficiated. He gave a voltage at
l,74S and amperes al $40.

1t was an Exciting Time.

The Steamer Venango (Br.) Ham burg,
which arrived at New York Wednesday,
had narrow escape from total destruc-
ton by fire during her voyage to this
port. Captain Wilson reports that on the
2lst instant in midocean, at 10:30
D. m. during strong northwest gale and
high sea, q hanging lamp in the saloon
was knocked from its fastenings, fall
ing to the floor, where it exploded,
and the whole cabin was Immediately in
flames.
Captain Wilson, who was asleep In his
room, forward Of the saloon, was awaken
ed by the intense heat and smoke and
with great difficulty reached the deck and
gave the alarm.
All hands rushed aft and with much
difficulty, owing to the headway the fire
had gained, caused by the high winds,
succeeded, with the aid OF fire pump, in
subduing the flames, however, not before
the interior of the cabin was completely
charred and disfaced. Captain Wilson
loses all his effects, cabin furniture and
fittings being completely ruined. The
chief steward was severely burned about
the face and body. The Captains
valuable Newfoundland dog refused
to leave the cabin and perished in the
flames.
The loss will reach several thousand
dollars. Had not the afterhouse, where
the saloon is situated, been completely
cut off, the vessel would have undoubt.
edly been destroyed, as the fire had gained
great headway before being discovered,
and the furious gale blowing, nothing
would have saved her.
