Pheonix Bridge Company Has Not Deliv-
cred the Material Rapidly Enough.
The Phoenix Bridge company has
been slow about the delivery of the
steel. and had the material been on
hand the span could have been put
In several weeks ago. The bridge
was closed to traffic Dec. "a, and it
was then thought that three weeks
time would see the new span com.
pleted, but everything has been de-
iayed by material. The company
was OF course aiming principally to
get the span out Of the way before
navigation opened. but the conse-
quence OF the accident today will be
to impede navigation As much as the
false work would have done, as the
wreck is directly in the main channel
and 1t will require some time to clear
it up. How long it. will take to re-
cover from the accident and replace
the lost material it is impossible to
determine. but temporary struc-
ture will be put in as soon IS posi-

JUSTICE MiScARRIED.

An Old Offender Takoa From . LiQao z
Cure Institute and Fined.
Conditions and circumstances
should always be weighed well BY
authorities when the enforcement of
law is being contemplated. This
fact is given forcible illustration in
the case of an old rural gentleman
who comes to Rock Island every 90
often and INDUCES in per-
iodical spree. Immediately upon
his arrival he deposits his
dough with some saloonkeeper
and commences bowling up. which
he does not cease until his funds are
exhausted. The other day this old
gentleman was arrested and fined IS
and costs for drunkenness. He paid
it and had no occasion to complain.
An old friend then persuaded him to
take treatment at the Moline LIQUOR
institute. He consented and agreed
to forever leave liquor alone. Be-
fore going to the institute he got on
another celebration of which the au-
thorities had knowledge, but did not
succeed in getting their man at the
time. They finally learned that the
old gentleman was being treated
for drunkenness at the Moline in.
stitute. where he had been . couple
of days before they made the discov-
cry. The authorities conspired to
again punish the old offender, not
withstanding his apparent attempt to
rid himself of the drinking habit.
So he was taken from the institute
and brought before Magistrate
schroeder. who again fined him. this
time IS and costs, for habitual
drunkenness. This disheartened the
farmer and now he is back into the
old rut.
Magistrate Schroeder when ques-
toned abnut the matter said that
j. w. Jones swore out a state war
rant charging Leonard Diaper, the
gentlemen in question, charging
him with Drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct; that Constable
L. V. Eckhart arrested the &C.
cussd at the Moline Liquor Cure
institute. and that Diaper plead
guilty to the charges and was fined.
The police magistrate denied having
fined q man by the same name few
d avs previously for a similar offense.

Getting the Worst of Il.

Among the callers at Mayor Knox's
sanctum in the city hall building to-
day was one Joseph Remmick, who
claimed that he had been getting the
worst of it in the contract for erect
ing the bridge on Twenty-eighth
street and Fourteenth avenue. The
council awarded the contract to
William Pugh for $500 at a recent
meeting. Mr.. Remmick arrived
from Muscatine the other day with
his tools and was all in readi-
ness to commence on the job
as q partner of Pugh's, when.
he says, the. latter laughed
at the idea, but sought to console
Remmick by offering him situation.
Remmick told the mayor that he had
agreed to take the work in partner
ship with Pugh, and now he asks
protection from the chief executive,
whom he wishes to refuse to sign the
contract until Pugh fulfills the agree
ment which Remmick AYERS was made
between them.

he saw the ruin. ut il dreadful"
he said; sit is simply awful. We
have worked with all the energy that
we possessed to avoid this, and had
gotten almost beyond the danger
when we were overtaken."
The loss is simply inestimable.
The Phoenix Bridge company will
lose not less than 100000 according
to conservative estimates made this
afternoon. this taking into consider
alton the damage to steel and the
destruction OF temporary work.
|. The loss to the Rock Island road by
reason Of the interruption of traffic
will be enormous, and what arrange.
ments will be made for the accom-
mediation of business in the interval
is of course unknown. The com.
pany has under contemplation two
routes, one of which will be deter
mined upon this evening. One is to
run from Bureau to Peoria over their
own line. Peoria to Keokuk
over the T., P. & w. and
then by their own lines again to
Eldon. Iowa, to catch the southwest
division or Washington to 60 up to
the main line. Tho other is to
change to the c., B. & Q. at Colona,
thence to Burlington over the O.,
thence up on the B., c. 4. & N. to
Columbus Junction t. catch the
southwest division or to West Lib
erty to tap the main line.
The Davenport cars of the Tri-
City system were all stopped in var
ious parts of that city, the company
having five wires in transmission of
current which are down. Superin-
tendent Huntoon and Engineer Cow
ling expect to have the wires re-
stored by tomorrow morning. There
are 16 telephone wires between Rock
Island and Davenport and five be-
tween Moline and Davenport. These
are all in the river. as are the power
wires of the Peoples company and
Western Union wires. These. it is
believed. will all be resurrected BY
tomorrow morning. as line men we're
set At work Immediately after the
disaster.
The Mails.
Naturally. too, the mail service
will be quite seriously interfered
with, and the manner of transfer
between Rock Island and Davenport
will be by ferry as soon as the river
opens.

At S:45 o'clock Bert Remley,
Charles Dale and j. M. Burns, OF
this city. and T. c. Nutter, Of Mo-
line, started across the river from
the Davenport ferry dock. When
midway the ice began to move and
the i've men were barely able to
reach the Illinois shore. They got
of at the foot of Ninth street With
the assistance of James Shannon.
The river cleared of ice late this
afternoon. The ferry will be ont to.

perhaps this evening. although il
may be necessary to cut q passage

ALL But ONE ESCAPE INJURY
Bert Kuystedt Falls and Has y Foot Bone
Fractured.


Bert Kuystedt Falls and Has Foot Bone
Fractured.
But one accident to the workmen
attended the disaster. Frightened
by the giving way of the structure,
the workmen rushed in all directions
and in the harry to escape from the
vicinity Of the accident, Bert Kuy-
stedt. young man whose home is in
Minnesota. tripped on a wire and
fell in such q manner as to fracture q
bone in his left foot. He was carried
into the shanty near by by fellow
workmen and comforted until the ar
rival of the city ambulance, which
was accompanied by Officers Schaab
and Miller, who took the injured
man to St. Anthony's hospital.
Three Cars Lost.
The sand train had been run
over the dismantled span. but its
weight was of no avail, three cars
going down with the wreck.
The ice moved for a considera-
BILE distance and the channel being
open the majestic stream resumed
its peaceful fiow as il nothing had
happened. The rise in the river is
the cause of the breakup, the water
having risen from 1925 to S.95 this
morning. The ice first broke yester-
day afternoon above the point of the
island at the old pier. The ice in
the river between the two cities
showed quite q movement about 2
O'Clock this afternoon, the crystal
blocks piling up along the shore, but
it soon stopped again, having gorged
below the city.

COMMITTEE.

All the figures relating to the Mani
toba census which was taken recently,
have been received, the population of
the province has now reached 1913, 425.
This is an increase of 1885 population
in ten years. The increase for the first
five years, from 1886 to 1891, was a.
$50, and for the second five years, from
1891 to 1896, was 40,919. The increase
in ten years was 1904 per cent. The
census was taken so far as to ascertain
the proper subsidy due to the province.
At 80 cents per head, the increase in
subsidy to the province on 40,919 popu-
lation which was the increase in the
last five years will be about S32, 735.

Late Fight Fought Over and Over
Again.
EVERYBODY IS TALKING
SEVERAL PHYSICIANS WHO FAVOR
FITZsIaDIoNs.
Purse Money Has Not Yet Been Paid,
and From Present Indications
There WIZ Be Il Legal Battle
Which VIII Eclipse the Ring En-
counter-Siany Prominent Men Be-
hind Fitzsimnons.

/ San Francisco, Dec. 4.-The Fitzsim-
mons-Sharkey fight is being fought
over and over again on every street
corner of San Francisco today. Pro-
fessional men, merchants, horsemen,
millionaires and men in every vocation
of life, save churchmen, may be seen
illustrating just how the Australian
put the sailor to sleep.
Sharkey is resting easily today and
will be on the street within a week.
DR.. Lustig, physician of the National
Athletic club, and a doctor of unques-
tionable reputation, does not hesitate
to assert that in his opinion Sharkey
did not receive any such blow as his
hackers claim Fitzsimmons admins
tered. Another leading physician. who
inspected the sailor, is of the opinion
that Sharkey was doped with iodine
to bear out Earp's claim of foul.
OF all the physicians who examined
Sharkey, but two are inclined TO be-
lieve that he was struck foul. One of
the two is the mysterious Doctor"
Lee, whom nobody seems to know, and
the other is friend OF Danny Lynch.
A half dozen reputable physicians were
at the door of Sharkey's dressing room
when the sailor was brought in at the
conclusion of the fight, yet none were
permitted to inspect him until DR.. Lee
had concluded his examination an hour
later.
The purse money has not yet been
paid, and from present indications
there will be a legal battle which will
eclipse the ring encounter. Such men
as Adolph Spreckels, Major McLaugh-
lin, Nose Gunst, William Greer Harri-
son and Hiram Cook are behind F'itZ-
simmons and Julian, while Sharkey' s
supporters are few and inconsequent-
ial.
To add TO Fitzsimmons' trouble a
suit was instituted against him today
by ]. J. Rauer on a claim of $9O5 held
in judgment by Jimmy Carroll, the
light weight. Carroll was one of F'itz-
simmons trainers for his fight with
Maher near Ell Paso. His bill for serv-
ices was not paid, and though he put
his claim in judgment he never sue
ceeded in collecting the money The
case will be heard tomorrow.
LLIENTHAL SAID NAY.
Denny Lynch, manager of Sailor
Sharkey, walked into the Anglo-Cali-
fornia bank shortly after it opened this
morning and demanded payment of the
$40 900 check He was referred to Man
ager Lilienthal, who said that the
check could not be paid owing to an
ln1unctlOn. LVncn met InlS WIN an
CRY words and said that if the bank
refused to hand over the money he
would Immediately bring suit and ask
for heavy damages. LiIienthal told
him that he could do nothing in the
matter and TO go ahead with his suit.

IN CHICAGO.
Opinion Is That Fitzsimmons was
.JObbeL.''


Chicago. Dec. LOCALLY the San Fran
cisco fight created the deepest interest
among those who take an interest in
sport, and the general opinion is that
Fitzsimmons got the worst of very bad
decision.
Among the men deeply interested in the
battle. was George Siler, who would
probably, have refereed the fight had he
been able to get to the coast in time
He would express no opinion on the
merits of the men last night. as he did
not care TO commit himself, owing 10 the
fact that he had been selected TO referee
the battle between Fitzsimmons and
Corbett. He had little to say of the de-
cision, excepting that he thought ii was
strange that an experienced referee should
have given the battle to Sharkey in the
face of the fact that no claim of foul
had been made by the proper persons.
According to all the stories of the
fight 1 have read he said, there has
seconds claiming foul. If they did not
do so. the referee had no right, accord
ing to my way of thinking. TO take mat
tiers into his own hands. Unless there is
a claim of foul either from the fighter
himself or any of mis- seconds, l think
the referee has no right to say there was
a foul He is not there to pick flaws in
the contest. He is simply the Judge OF
the battle, and is there to decide claims
that are made. l have always thought
Fitzsimmons as fair a boxer as the ma
iority of the Australians. Still, 1t is quite
possible for a man to commit foul. no
matter how careful he is. 1t IS also DOS
sible for that foul TO escape the notice of
I'll hut the referee.
