The Bridge Discussion.

Aid. Lille said that in his opinion
the Kleinschmidt plan was as good as
the Haynes plan, and the lowest bid
on that plan was lower than on the
Haynes plan. Several parties had
told him that the Kleinschmldt
plans were as good as the Haynes
plan.
Commissioner Roberts asked why
this point was not made at the last
meeting. He never was in meeting
before when the vote was five to two
and the meeting went back on it's
vote. 1t was not always possible to
have unanimous agreement, and the
majority must rule. After you have
asked outside contractors to bid, you
should not turn them down, but
should do justice to them. Any other
way is not the right way to do bust
ness.
Aid. Lille said that he had not
been in favor of the Haynes plan,
which had been adopted by vote of
five to two.
Aid. Zimmerman said that he was
not interested one way or the other,
but it was no more than Justice to
award the contract to the lowest bid
der on t. e plan that had been adopt
ed. TIE outsiders had been invited
to p-Cr are plans and enter bids, and
had lone so. Put our local cOntrac-
tc-> in the same position in some
other town. If one of them was the
lowest bidder he would feel that he
ought to have the contract. If the
outsiders were not wanted, they
should not be invited to bid. To
award the contract to the lowest
bidder will be but justice to our home
contractors, for if we don't, we do
not know what kind of dose they
will get when they go out to bid
somewhere. When they get it start
ed, they will turn our contractors
down right along.
Commissioner Roberts said that the
bridge men visit many states and If
they are not treated right here their
report of our actions will be injurious
to Mankato.
Aid. Lille replied that the Jones
bid was not the cheapest.
Aid. Adams said that he had voted
for the Johnson plan two times, and
for the Haynes plan the third time.
Mr.. Jones had been the lowest bidder
on the Haynes plan which had been
adopted, and he had voted for him.
He had hoped that Mankato man
would be the lowest bidder. The
reason why he had voted for the
Jones bid was because the local con-
tractors figure in outside cities, and
they never feel so mean and mad as
when they are the lowest bidder and
don't get the contract. He had voted
for Jones and would vote for him
again.
AID Bradley said that he stood upon
the same platform as Aid. Adams. He
had voted for the Haynes plan because
he had thought it the best. The re
mark had been made by several OF
the bridge men present that the
Kleinschmidt plan was good, but not
as good as the Haynes plan. Mr.
Jones had brought plan, but hac
thought Mr.. Haynes plan the better
and 80 kept his own plan in his pocket

FELL FROM THE TRAIN
A Young Man horribly MRngIed Near
Putney This MOrnIng---GRve Two
Names Before He Died.

Nf
A man, evidently of Irish nationality, fell
from the early soulh-bound Boston Il
Maine passenger train near the Josselyn
place between Putney and East Putney
this morning. He was horribly mangled.
and died after an hour and a half of intense
suffering. \ freight train usually follows
soon after the express but on account of
another accident ii was delayed for some
time this morning and did not pass the
Josselyn place until after o'clock. The
engineer saw the wounded man beside the
track and, stopping the train sent for Drs.
Foster and Munger of Putney and then
proceeded TO ascertain the particulars of
the accident.
The man was able only TO tell his name
and place of residence before he died. He
said he was William Hill of Providence,
X. l., but afterwaId said his name was
William Collins. The reason for his max
ing the change is not known but he was
probably mentally irresponsible for what
he said. His right arm and right leg had
been severed close to the body and he was
otherwise seriously bruised. In his pocket
was $50 in money and he carried a gold
watch and string of beads with a cross.
Papers with prayers written upon them,
and a ticket from White River junction
TO New York were also found in his
pocket.
He was light complexioned, five feet
and four inches tall, about 35 years old
and would weigh about 140 pounds. Life
was extinct when the doctors arrived and
the body was ordered removed by the Sc
lectmen to the undertaking rooms of r. f.
Knight of Putney. No baggage or over
coat were found, and it is probable that
the man fell from the platform while pass
ing from one car to another.

LESS THAN SIX DAYS.
The Trip which ChRs. Henkel Made
Across the Atlantic Was the Fastest
on Record.

ON Record.
Charles Henkel returned to Brattleboro
Monday after European trip of nearly
four months. He left Bratteboro Nav
20, and sailed from New York on the
third day Of June. He landed at South
ampton and went at once TO London where
he stayed during the Queens jubilee. From
London he crossed the channel and went
TO Paris where he remained for nearly two
weeks, and from Paris by rail to Cologne.
From Cologne Mr.. Henkel went up the
Rhine by boat as far as Coblenz where he
stopped for a short time to visit the sur
rounding country. He continued up the
Rhine as far as Mayence, going fro n
there to FRANKFORT. From there he con
tinued 10 Neustadt and vicinity, which
was the home of his ancestors. After
spending lew weeks at those places, Mr.
Henkel visited Hanover. Hamburg and
Bremen and sailed from the latter place
Sept. 10, on the new steamship, Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, the largest vessel of
her class atloat which touched at Southamp-
ton Sept. u, and arrived at New York on
the 10Th day of the same month. Mr.. Hen
kers trip was taken solely for recreation.
although he transacted some business for
the Estey Organ company.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse reduced
the record from Southampton 10 New York
to days % hours and As minutes. The
best previous record was made by the ST.
Paul Aug. IA, 1896, in days and 81 min
utes. The full day runs of the boat were
from 495 TO 564 miles. This boat. which
is the largest afoat, was described in full
in The Phoenix last week. Mrs. Schmidt,
a stewardess, committed suicide during the
passage by jumping overheard, and on the
same night Mrs. Schlaikjer of Knoxville,
Tenn, a passenger, gave birth TO a boy.
He will be christened Wilhelm Parker
Schlaikjer, the first name after the liner,
and the second after the pilot who brought
the boat into the harbor.

Monument to Richard NJ. Hunt.

Work will begin in New York city soon
on the erection Of a monument to the late
Richard NJ. Hunt, the eminent architect
and a native of Brattleboro, who was the
first president of the Municipal Art society
The sculptor, Daniel G. French has nearly
finished his bust of Mr.. Hunt, and the two
caryatides will be finished later. The
architect, Bruce Price, says that a favor
able contract has been made with the

The wall Of the eXedra is pierced with
three openings on each side of the centre
carried out in a Greek Ionic order, with
columns of green Maine granite. In the
centre, on a pedestal, is a bust of Mr.
Hunt, and against the piers at the ends, on
lesser pedestals are the caryatides, one
representing sculpture and painting and
the other architecture. The latter is hold
ing a model of the Administration build
ing at Chicago, which was designed by
MI. Hunt. In the panels are the names
of the societies that contributed to the
erection of the monument, including, be-
sides the Municipal Art society, the Ma
tional Academy of Design, the National
Sculpture society, the Society of Amer
can Artists, the Architectural League,
the American Institute of Architects and
