Take 1t Back.

What we say on the first page
about a means of transportation
not being provided for the people
on the South Side was written at a
time when we, together with all
the residents Of that portion of the
city, were getting to and from our
homes in sort of catch.as. catch
can manner, and, after thinking
about it, feel satisfied we did some
of the committee injustice. That
they were making an effort to re-
lieve the people Of the South Side
is evident from the fact that Mr..
John E. Miles, a member of the
committee, had made contract
with Mr.. Seckner to have the floor
Of one Of the sidewalks on the
bridge laid at once, and it would
have been completed in a few days
if the work on the bridge had not
been ordered suspended, and
would have rendered the people
independent of floods in the river.

be the very best. It effects a perma-

this remedy fair trial. In cases of
habitual constipation Electric Bitters

THE BRIDGE
RESTS ON THE CRACKED
ABUTMENT,
THE WORK is STOPPED,
And the Question Is: Wha
Are You Going to Do
About It?

The work Of hanging the bridge
was completed on Monday, when
the pin connecting the top
and bottom chords on the east
side of the bridge was driven into
position. The Construction Com
pany having received orders from
the King Bridge Company to
swing the bridge on the south
abutment, notwithstan ding the
cracks in the wall, it was let down
Tuesday far enough to enable the
workmen to rivet the joints at the
proper time. Wednesday the
workmen were started at the north
end putting the floor beams in
position and the work was
going along as rapidly as possible,
getting ready for the floor.
1t was evidently the intention OF
the bridge people to go ahead
and finish up the work now, with
out stopping to put up a new
abutment, whether one is necessa.
ry or not, and when completed
ask the city and county to
say whether they would accept it,
with the abutment and wing walls
pulling apart in several directions.
Believing that when that time
arrived the company would at,
tempt to force this faulty pierce
of work upon us. the City Council,
at the meeting on Tuesday even
ing and also at the meeting
Thursday evening refused to pay
the estimate upon the bridge which
fell due in January, and the bridge
company ordered the work stopped
yesterday. 1t is claimed that
the money should be paid, as
the representative Of the King
people had promised that every
thing should be satisfactory. but
as far as we are informed
that promise has never been
made in writing by the company,
and as this same representative
made other representations in re.
gard to the bridge in the past
which did not pan out, in our
humble judgment the council did
right in not paying a cent Of the
money in the hands of the city.
A law suit is sure to follow and it
is best to hold on to everything
in sight.
1t is pretty rough on the city to
be without a bridge at this time
of the year, but. as we have done
without it SO far we can manage
to worry along until we succeed
in calling this bluff of a corpora.

tract and is now seeking to avoid

FANATICIsM IN CHINA.
Disorder Caused by Government Efforts
TO Stamp Out Plague.

TO Stamp Out Plague.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Rev. John Gil
lespie, D. D., corresponding secretary of
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions, said at his office, So Fifth avenue,
that he had not yet received advices from
China concerning the report that the
American Presbyterian church at Shek
Lung had been destroyed and one Chris
tiAn killed.
DIR. Gillespie gave an interesting reason
for the cause of the prevailing unrest in
China.
"Our property" he said, lat Shek Lung
is under the general supervision of Rev.
b. c. Henry, d. D., who resides at Can
ton. A native evangelist, in all proba-
bility, resides at Shek Lung and looks
after our interests there. / received let
ter from Dr. Henry, from Canton, dated
June 10, one day before the date of the
dispatch announcing the destruction of
our property at Shek Lung.
"Dr Henry writes that the present un-
rest in China was caused by the severe
measures adopted by the authorities in
Hong Kong to stamp out the plague.
Hundreds of houses in which the germs
of disease lUrked were razed to the
ground, and the unfortunate victims of
the scourge hastily buried without any
sign to mark their graves.
"These arbitrary orders and their speedy
execution aroused the fanatical and SUI
perstitious nation to high state of ex-
element. There was almost Immediately
an exodus of more than $4,000 Chinese
! from the city of Hong Kong.
"a report began to circulate among the
excited natives to the effect that living
men and women were being vivisected by
the foreigners for medical purposes. This
rumor spread through the interior with
marvellous rapidity and melted the ignor-
ant and superstitious natives to deeds OF
! violence directed against all foreigners.
"Io this cause DR.. Henry attributes the
present unrest, and any assaults that may
be committed upon the persons of the
missionaries. In all probability the man
| killed at Shek Lung was native"

of the sinking by japanese cruiser OF

she will pursue the war against japan

CHICAGO, Aug. by an explosion at
the Hawthorne stone works of Doelse &
Shepard three workmen were killed, two
fatally injured and several others
wounded. The explosion was terrific, com
pletely wrecking the boiler house, engine
rooms and machinery of the plant aud
breaking windows for a quarter of a mile
around. The accident occurred during a
test Of new stone crushing machinery.
The explosion is supposed TO have been
caused by a spark alighting in the dyna-
mite magazine. The magazine was 1900
feet away from the station of the belt line
railroad, but the force was so great as to
badly wreck the station, seriou ly injur.
ing the railroad agent, II. NJ. Hall. A
train standing on the track was badly
smashed, the engineer being injured and
one car completely demolished.
The dead are: Frank Corbin, stone cut
ter; Scott Clark, laborer; Richard Clark,
son of Scott Clark Charles II. Budd, a
well known electrician, was frightfully
mangled, and will die, and an unknown
man was fatally hurt. James Henry, a
| laborer, was blown fifty feet, but not Sc
riously hurt
All of the dead and wounded were en-
| ployes of the Western Electric company.
| They had been engaged in blasting rock
! in the Doelse & Shepard quarry for nearly
two months. Corbin was terribly man
gled. A portion of his left leg was torn
| from the body, and was found nearly a
hundred feet from where the body lay.
Scott Clark and his son Richard were
found lying near together. The elder
Clark suffered intensely before his death
which occurred on the way to the nos
| pital. Richard Clark was killed instantly,
being struck by flying piece of stone.
| For two years past Mr.. Rudd has been
experimenting with an explosive Of his
own invention, which he calls ruddite, in
a shanty which stood on the edge Of DpelsG

sive is very powerful and effective in

could improve it by slightly changing th'
