An Electric Car Plunged Through an
Open Draw Bridge near Saginaw

Uncle Sam Remembers the M. N. q.
Six Killed In a Bridge Disaster.

Car No. of the Interurban electric
railway, bound south from Bay City
to Saginaw with eight passengers and
three employees of the railroad on
board, ran off into an open draw span
of the Interurban bridge, about six
miles north of Saginaw, and six lives
were lost and five persons badly in
lured-two fatally.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Herbert Riley and Conductor John
O'Brien, of Saginaw, and was going at
a good rate of speed. The swing was
open, but the motorman evidently
thought he could stop in time. There
was something the matter with the
machinery, however, and the car
plunged into the river, 90 feet from
the abutment. Mrs. viii Mcclellan,
aged 25, of Bay City; Mrs. David Camp
bell, aged 20, and her three little girls,
Hattie, Lena and Eva, aged z, 8 and
respectively, of Metamora; j. w. Haw-
kins, Sr., aged II, of South Bay City,
all lost their lives. Il. p. Klumpf, of
Geneva, o., a travelling man, was so
badly injured that he cannot recover,
and Joseph Mayhem, of Essexville,
will probably die. Edward Girkins, of
Bay City, assistant general freight
agent of the Michigan Central railroad,
was badly cut and bruised, and Motor
man Riley, Conductor O'Brien and
Extra Motorman Michael Mcdonald,
of Bay City, were also injured.
- he 1icoc 10 &c
that the electric car was racing with
an +. & =. NJ train, which road is a
competitor of the Interuban for the
traffic between Bay City and Saginaw,
and in the excitement the motorman
did not notice the signals and could
not stop the car after the swing had
started to turn.
The conductor and motorman have
refused to talk of the disaster, on the
advice of their employers. 1t is said
the Int rurban cars attain a speed of
SO miles an hour between the two cities.
1t is fortunate that the affair occurred
at an hour when the passenger traffic
is the lightest, had it happened two
hours later the death list might have
con tanned between 90 and 30 names.
The road is owned by Saginaw par
ties, and the bride was built last year
at cost of sos, 600.
Later-T. F. Klumpf, the travelling
man, of Geneva, o., died of his injuries.
Conductor O'Brien and Brakeman
Reilly were arrested, but have been
released on S., 900 bail each, signed by
Isaac Bearinger, of Saginaw, president
of the Interurban railway.

Coal Miners In Five States Strike for
Wages Enough to Keep from Starv-
ing-Torrid Heat Causes Much Dis
tress and Many Deaths.
The Strikers Gaining.

The Pittsburg district was generally
conceded to be principal battle-ground
for the coal miners strike. The oper-
ators had hopes of keeping several
thousand men at work there, but they
have been deeply disappointed. Only
one company the New York aud Cleve-
land Gas Coal Co. was able to continue
operations with about 1900 men and
the strike officers are preparing plan
to bring them out.
The situation in Cleveland over the
coal strike is becoming desperate.
The railroads are growing holder in
confscating coal, and those who de-
pend upon regular supply are be-
coming anxious. The schooner Il. w.
Parker, of Detroit, has been DELAYED
in Cleveland over week owing to the
action of the Erie railway in taking
away over 30 cars of coal which the
vessel was about to load Several fuel
ing firms have nearly exhausted their
supply and the Pennsylvania & Ohio
Fueling Co. has suspended business al
together in Cleveland. There is con-
siderable fuel in the upper lakes, and
some of it may have TO be brought
down. II is generally admitted now
that the coal dealers and mine operators
were very poorly prepared for strike.
The great plant of the Cleveland Steel
Co. has closed owing to the lack of
fuel. A number of other plants are
preparing to shut down.
The strikers won a great victory in
the Wheeling & Lake Erie district
Col. Myron Il. Herricll, the receiver for
the W. & l.. +. railway, has been in
formed that only one man went to
work at Dillonvale, where the railroad
people had decided to make test, and
where they had secured force of u s.
marshals to protect the miners who
would go to work The full force of
this intelligence can be appreciated
when it is stated that Cleveland manu-
facturers and shippers expected that if
matters came to the very worst the
district covered by the w. & l.. f.
would supply whatever coal was
needed. This means to Cleveland now
practical tie-up.

Notes on the Miners Big Strike.

The receivers of the w. & l.. +. rail
road have secured an order from Judge
Taft, of the U. s. circuit court at Gin
cinnati, directing the U. S. marshal to
protect miners in the company's en-
ploy while at work and to prevent un-
lawful interference with their railway
operations on the part of strikers.
The marshal and his deputies are
directed to arrest and detain any per-
sons destroying property or threaten
ing or doing violence to any persons
in the employ of the receivers, for the
purpose of preventing them from con-
tinuing in their employ.
President Ratchford, of the Mine
Workers association, is greatly pleased
with the success of the present strike
thus far and regards the outlook as
exceedingly bright. He says it is the
first time the regulation of miners
wages has given any concern to ma.
tional Legislators, and that now the
press, pulpit and the people are with
the miners. sue encouragement has
been received from labor organizations
all over the country.
OF the 81 900 miners in the Pttsbur2
district 5000 are out and the others
are expected to follow soon. The

promise of support at the proper time
from President Samuel Gompers, OF
the American Federation of Labor, and

A Murder Near Ionia.

Moses Walker, bachelor, who lived
two miles west of Ionia, opposite the
state house of correction, was shot and
instantly killed by Wesley Bennett,
farm hand on an adjoining farm.
Bennett had been keeping company
with Lydia Vivian, Walkers niece, and
they had just returned from the city.
The woman jumped out of the buggy
just as Walker came out into the road
He ordered Bennett away, having pre-
viously objected to his presence, and
is alleged that he threw a piece of
brick at the horse. Bennett refused
to go and drew a revolver from which
he fired three shots at Walker, all of
which took effect, the third striking
the heart. Bennett skipped home and
was changing horses, apparently for
fight, when the sheriff arrested him.
