LOST IN A FLOOD.
Thirteen Workmen Drowned in
a Bridge Accident.
THE STRUCTURE GAVE Way.
A Gang Of Twenty Men We're Re-
pairing a Bridge Over tn , Peque-
bunk River Near Bristol, onn'
When 1t Broke Down Win
Their Weight.

A bridge on the New England Railroad over
the Pequebunk River, near Bristol, Conn.,,
collapsed about O'Clock p NJ, carrying
with it twenty workmen, Of whom thirteen
are believed to have persisted. Among the
dead is John O'Brien, foreman, of East
Hartford. The names Of the missing are un-
known.
The fierce storm which swept ever the
State played havoc with New England rail-
road bridges, and the swollen waters OF the
Pequebuck Riv threatened to carry the
bridge away. At five o'clock special wreck
ing train with 40 men left Enst Hartford and
were put to work on the new bridge which
tho company is building over the liver, and
which is almost comp cted. 1t was intended
to put the new bridge in shape at once, 50
that trains could ross tho river. The OLD
bridge was declared unsafe.
Twenty workmcn were put to work on
each bridge. About ten o'clock one OF the
forencn. John Barry, called the twenty men
on the old structure toward the Ttre to as
sist in tearing up the ties which were wanted
for the other bridge.
The weight of the men wee too much tor
tho bridge, hardly without moment $
warning it collapsed with 10 d noise, pre-
cipitating sixteen or seventeen men into tie
raging W ters Of the river Three or four
we're caught by falling timbcrs and seriously
injured. Three managed to cling to the frag-
ments Of the bridge and were scued by a
number Of their comrades, who rushed over
from the new bridge as soon as they realized
the extent Of the disaster.
The 70 terng condition of the remaining
portions of the old bridge rendered the
wsrk of reaching the men impossible, and
had a boat be available nothing could have
held it against the mad rush Of the waters.
The unfortunate men in the water attempt
ed to sieze sticks and | ortions Of the abut-
ments which had broken lOos but not more
that five or six were successful. The others
we're carried down stream, and were quickly
lost to sight in the darkness.
Most of the men live in Hartford and East
Hartford, and nearly all have families

AN OLD VALENTIN E.

Out Of the heart of the long ago.
Faded and yellowel by time, you know,
But cherished still in shadow and shine,
Cometht to me her valentine;
Here is couplct quaint and true:
"The rose is red,
The violet's blue"
AulI dream in the cleaning soft and low
OF the lass who pennel it long ago.
A little mad OF the bluest eyes
That ever dancel meath winters skies;
4 rougish miss whose love was toll
II the sound of kiss in a mOonlit void;
Bat here is the rest Of her rhyming true;
"Love is sweet
And 50 are you,'
And boys cheeks flushed at the final line
Cfa rustic sweethearts valentine.
Deep in the past, Lut dimly hi
behind a soft eyes dropping Ii :
Quivers the arrow that Cupid keen
Shot at the Castle of Might-have-been;
And palmer still grows the couplet true
The rose is red
The violet's blue.
Aal laughter low, which is half divine,
E.pples across her 'entino.
With a cherished thought for the love !:
told
Itenderly open each yellow fold
And my hear, beats fast as it beat one day
in past that is hal!oVci AMI far away;
can see the eyes that were deep AID blue
Glove is sweet
And so are you;"
So thoucht tha lass as She pennei each lii
All scale with kiss her valentine.

Of the fact that the delegates to the national

statement from me as to my wishes and pur-
poses should now be made to my Indiana
friends. Hitherto | have declined to speak
to the public upon the matter, but scores OF

scores more to whom have written will re-
cognize in this expression the substance OF
what | have said to them. To every one who
has proposed to promote my nomination !
have said NO" There never has been an

My Indiana friends have been most de-

SupprStiti9n Killed Her.

That superstition may sometimes
have en- unfortunate sway over the
hnman mind was illustrated in Saco,
Me-, last week, in the death of Miss
Bessie Bryant, handsome and ac.
compllsheI young lady. One year
ago this month she attended a party
at Hills Beach, where thirteen were
seated Mt the table. Since that time
Miss Bryant has declared that she
was the one who was going to die
within year. Six weeks ago she
told her mother that she was going to
die. Mrs. Bryant laughed at her, but
Bessie still persisted that she had but
l short time to live. Two weeks ago
she was taken sick, and from the first

MR. RUNYON'S SUCCESSOR.
The President Selects Mr. Uhl as Ambassador
to Germany,

The President Selects Mr., Uhl as Ambassador
to Germany
Tho President has selected as his choice
for a successor to the late Mr.. Runyon as
ambassador to Germany, First Assistant
Secretary Uhl, of the State Department.
Mr.. Uhl first came into national proml-
nence with the incoming Of the present al
ministration Previous TO that time he mao
achieved fine reputation as lawyer IL
Michigan. In politics he had always been
democrat and was at one time mayor OF the
thriving city OF Grand Rapids. He has been
closely attached to Don Dickinson.
As First Assistant Secretary OF State Mr.
Uhl has frequently been called upon to as
sume the entire burden of the administration
of foreign affairs during the absence or dlSa'
bilitv of the Secretary OF State, and 50 1t aI'
pears that his name often appears signed to
so many important state papers. Since Sec
retary Olney's entry into the State Depart
ment Mr.. Uhls functions have been generally
confined to the administration OF the affairs
of the consular service.
Last fall he made a tour Of Europe, i'll
aluding the cities in Germany where United
States consulates are established, and it is
assumed that he was so attracted by the
kindly reception accorded him there that ha
desired to round out his term Of service un-
der the State Department as Ambassador to
Germany, place which he can readily as
sume owing to his large private means anc
experience,
