THIRTY LIVES LOST.
Bridge Spans Give Awny-Workmen
Precipitated Into Rapids.

HOGANSBURG, y. y. September g
About noon to-day the two south spans
of the international bridge of the New
York and Ottawa railroad now under
construction across the St. Lawrence
river. about three miles above St. Regis,
an Indian village fell without warning.
with sixty men at work on the bridge,
all being thrown into the river, some
sixty feet below over thirty were picked
up and taken to Cornwall Hospital. and
twenty-seven are now missing.
The bridge consists of three spans, of
which two were completed. and the third
was nearly completed when the south
pier gave way at its foundation, causing
both spans to fall into suty feet Of
water, taking its load of human freight
with it. The names Of the killed and
drowned cannot at present be ascer-
tanned.
The scene of the accident IS located
about four miles from Hogansburg. above
the st. Regis Indian reservation.
WATER VERY SWIFT.
The bridge that gave way was being
built across the St. Lawrence river at
the foot of Long Sault Rapids. near Rein
hardts Island. The water at this point
is known to be as swift as in any part
of the river The immediate cause of
the disaster and the giving way of the
spans seems TO have been the washing
away of one of the large piers.
Late reports from Cornwall Hospital
say thirty-three men have been taken out
of the river and transferred to the hos
pital Eighteen Of them have since died
1t seems probable that the death-list
will reach thirty. Many Of the men are
terribly injured.
AS far as learned, eighty-two men re
ported for work this morning. or this
list, only thirty-eight have actually been
accounted for.

SCHOOL DAYS.

Ages ago with sober dread
! heard their rules and reasons read,
Then passed the timid, fearful state
To mysteries Of book and slate.
My early fear to fondness grew
And seasons all too quickly few,
Until my school-day time had sped
And left me with my part unsaid.
All classic days OF long ago.
When l was fartEest down the row,
And never thought a harder rule
Would guide me through life's higher
school,
Dear study days OF pranks and pains,
And dog-eared books with dingy stains,
! little knew how much I'd rue
The parting from my youth and you.
AS drea mily doze and sigh
Those old school days come trooping by,
With all their merriment and noise.
Their romping rows Of girls and boys.
Whose helter skelter runs to rout
Me from my dreams. to cure my doubt:
To tell me life is young and gay
And am part Of 1t to-day.
And when one lassie seeks my knee
And makes her good report to mo
A new delight can't restrain
Fills old schoo! days revived again.

BENTON LOUISIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER TO- 1885,
"This is the New York"

On the cruisers deck there was
sound as of men shifting their feet,
and a confused murmur as they fell
away from their guns.
The Porter's commander spoke
again and this time there was no
menace in his voice, but wonder only:
"Is that Capt. Chadwick"
"Yes," answered the New York's
captain. ''Is that the Porter?"
Yes, sir"
"Why didn't you show the night fleet
signal?"
1--WE did. sir, twice. There was no
answer the first time. The second
time-just row-the New York dis
played the wrong signal"
Capt. Chadwick thought that could
not be SO, but everyone on the torpedo
boat knew it was, and after some more
explanation The Porter swung away
from the flagship and glded off into
the night.
AS was customary, several captains
met the admiral's cabin on the flag
ship in the morning, and l was told
afterward that the night encounter
was the sub ject of conside rable talk.
1t appears that Admiral Sampson him
! self had been awake, and l was in
| formed that when some one said to
Lieut.. Fremont that the Porter should
| have been mere careful about the
night fleet signal the admiral said,
gravely:
81 saw the Porter's signal displayed
| and there was no answer from this
vessel"
There was an end to that argument
at least, but a torpedo man from the
Porter and an officer of the fagshil
| asked each other what would have
happened if the Porter's hail had no,
been answered just when it was.
"Do you know what our next order
would have been?" asked the flagship
| man.
NO" said his friend from the Por
ter; what would it have been?"
Full speed ahead and ram!" wa!
the reply.
| The torpedo man laughed. "You'l
never have rammed u.s." he said, ant
indeed he was right. But for the dis
covery which came like reprieve a
the last second of endurance the New
York was doomed. The Porter nigh
have been sunk; the flagship mus
have been.

GR ND LARCENY CASES.
They Were Continued UitI the
June Term of Court.

The cases against Joseph Cole
man, W. C, White and Charles May
her, charged with grand larceny
was called last Friday evening and
the attorneys on their behalf,
asked a continuance of their cases
until the June term.
Judge Conway fixed their bond at
$4O0 each Coleman, who had the
most money found on them when
searched, put u the amount of
county scrip hs bond called for
and left for parts unknown. White
and Mayher were not 50 fortunate
as to possess s. much money aud
they will be held until their bond is
made, which they claim they can do
as soon as they can correspond with
friends.
We learn that 5000 of the money
taken from these men will be
placed on deposit aud if they prove
guilty at the trial next June, the
money will be given to the old gen.
tleman who claims he was robbed
at the depot.
Since these men haye been held
here, Marshal Casey received a tel
egram, dated at Fort Worth, from
a special agent of the Denver g.
Rio Grand railroad, reciting that
passenger was robbed at that place
and he thought these men might
have something in their possession
to lead to other discoveries.
Marshal Casey said to the repor-
ter after showing him the dispatch
that the men had nothing on their
persons described by the special
agent, which was taken from the
men.
Since the above was put in type,
we learn that Mayher and White
put up the money for their bond
and we're set at liberty.
