The improvements on the steel arch
bridge have been completed. The work
was under the supervision of the city
engineer, and it reflects credit upon the
department. The changes embody steel
buckle plates, concrete and brick with
asphalt filling. There is no woodwork
now about the bridge. The structure
has been thrown open for both lines of
the electric railway and for vehicles.

yesterday afternoon was rather dull con-

the best of it. The errors on both sides
were many, and undoubtedly caused by
the weather. The game was won by Brown

errors of the visitors. The work of both

VALIANT SURVIVORS.
Three of Rescued Men Not Expected
to Recover Consciousness.
Impossible to Get Coherent De-
tails of Wreck.
PHYSICAL and Mental Suflcrirgs OF Men Are
Something Terrible.

ct. Johns n. f., April 29.-Three or
the four survivors of the lll-fated French
brigantine valiant, which was wrecked
by coliding with an iceberg, off the
Grand Banks. are almost sure TO die.
They are in a comatose condition. But
little hope is expressed that the fourth
will live.
Their physical and mental suiferings
are terrible. IL was necessary To ampu-
tate the arms and feet of three. Their
ears and noses were shockingly frozen,
and the flesh presents chastity and lep-
rous-like appearance. AS IL this were
not wretchedness enough, their reason Is
temporarily, If not permanently, gone.
AS they lie in their cots they rave of their
awful experiences.
1t is scarcely possible to get any def
mite details OF the disaster. but it.seems
from what can be learned from their
incoherent cries that four dories were
overturned at the moment Of the wreck.
Two of the men on board the rescued
dory were taken from the water almost
drowned. These were the first to perish.
The third who died was young fellow,
about Is. He made a stubborn fight for
bis life. Four boats are known to have
got safely away from the ship, but the
captains boat was the only one after
ward seen by the occupants Of the res
cued dory.
The hardships suffered by the surviv-
ors were almost indescribable. Ordinar-
ily, castaways can get some sustenance
from leather boots, but these poor fei-
lows had only wooden sabots for foot
gear. The intense cold made IT almost
impossible for them TO do anything to-
ward navigating the dory, and they wogr
compelled to drift helplessly. .
The most hOrrifying incident Of the ex-
perience was the cannibalism. to which
they were driven by the resistless pangs
OF hunger. The dead body which they
used for food was frozen so stiff that
they were scarcely able to hack off the
flesh with their knives For two days
the lives of the survivors were sustained
by this food.
Everything that is possible is being
done to find the missing boats, If II
should have been their good fortune
to have survived. Outgoing vessels will
make a close search of the waters north
and south Of st. Johns. But there Is lit
tie hope of further rescues.
