WHO'S TO BLAME.
Coroner's Inquest in the Cleveland
Bridge atastrophe Resumed.

Cleveland. Ohio. Nov. 2S.-After a con-
tinuance of two days the coroner's in
Guest in the great bridge catastrophe,
which occurred q week ago Saturday. was
resumed today. The inquest is looked
upon as a preliminary to legal strug-
gle for the fixing of tie responsibility of
The disaster between the city and the
railroad company.
BY far the most important witness against
the city, who has thus far testified, is J..
E. Campbell, q grocer, who swcre positively
that there was no red signal light on the
gates. To accentuate his testimony he
stated that he crossed the bridge every even
ing and that it had always been his custom
to look for the lights.
It is not thought that the city can be made
more than Jointly responsible, as the taking
out of til ecurrent breaker by the railroad
company is more damage to their side.

SEARCHED BY THE POLICE.
Domicfliary Visits TO Houses OF So
cialiSt Reichstag Members.

Berlin, Nov. 25--ActiDg under orders
from the authorities the police today made
a search OF the residences of a number
of Socialist members OF the Reichstag and
other leaders OF the Social Democratic
party for proofs that breaches of the laws
of association had been committed. The
search resulted In She discovery aud seizure
of large number of letters and the minutes
of the proceedings at several Socialist
meetings.
The houses of eighty Socialists of promi-
pence were visited and searched by the
police including the residences of Herren,
Bebel and Singer, the Socialist leaders in
the Reichstag. It is expected that similar
searches will be made in the cities and
towns throughout Prussia.
IT is supposed that the aim of the authort-
ties is to destroy such records Of the recent
elections as they may be able to find in an
effort to paralyze the connection between
the local organizations and the central
executive body Of the Socialist party.
