Acknowledgement Hart Proposed as Colonel
wtcsorshapi's successor.
Grsat interest prevails throughout
military circles in Delaware with ra,
sport to the sucocasion to Col. /. Pussy
Wickersbam of the FIRST Delaware
Reg imsnt, whose resignation is an
nounosd today. Col. Wickessham had
charge of the regimont while it was
in the National Guard Of the State and
is n man Of much military experience.
1t ia, therefore, the desire of thosa in
terested 10 military affairs to have a
man equally competent appointed to
the succession.
In addition to Lieutenant. Colonel
Charles NJ. Stevenson, whose name ia
naturally suggested as being in the line
of succession, Gov. Tunnel, upon
whose recommendation tine vacancy
will doubtless be filed, will be asked
To consider several othor names for the
place.
The name most prominently aug
gested in military circles Of this city
is that OF Adiutant General Garrett j..
Hart of tho Governors staff. Gen.
Hart it is understood. would not BIZ
uyerse to becoming colonel o! the
regiment IL there was o prospect ahead
of active military service, hut docs not
feel inGlinsd to accept a position az
commander of regiment that would
have nothing beyond garrison duty to
look forward to.
Col. E. p. Stacey of the Governors
staff is also suggested as suitable
man for colonel of thu regiment. Capt
Evan G. Boyd OF Go. q will ale ne
urged upon the consideration Vi Gov
Tunnel.
The strongest movement, however,
will be that in favor Of Adiutant Cen
eral Hart 1t will be in the direction
of endeavoring to overcome his scruplef
| against taking charge of regiment
| that will not have war campaign to
| look forward to. and to inducing Gov.
| Tunnel to make him tho olfor, in any
event.
1t is neld out that the position ol
colonel of regiment will not be with
out ita honors. even in the performance
| of nero garrison duty in any of the
towns of the captured Spanish pro.
yinces, where military us well as civil
prom inence ia held in great regard by
| The people. For this reason it la pre-
| dictod that Gov. Tunnsll will have
| annie material and of an excallent
| quality, to select from when he comes
to send to the War Department his
recommendation for appointment al
colonel of tho First Delaware Regi
ment.
a ruport was also current about Will
mington yesterday, TO the etiec
| that Col. WiekerHham' resignation
would not be accepted for the present
1t was said that it might he held "
until after it ia definitely decided wha
disposition will be made OF the rsgi
ment.

The war between the factiuna OF the

the Broad faction to capture this Opera
House. which was guarded by the
Sprugue faction. At 4 o'cluek rush

men from both the front and rear of
the building, ami the Sprague men,

the abdomen. The shooIing occurred
Just outside tho Opera House door.
Several arrests have been made. The
man who fired the shot which struck
Harris is in custody, but his name
cannot now be ascertained.
Today's clash between the factionA
was prscipitated by the action OF

The Cause Will Not be Positively

Searched the Wreck.
ACCIDENT OCCURRED At NOON
Nobody Can Give a Clear Idea
of What Happened, and
There VIII be Expensive
Litigation Before the
Liability is Placed.
Associated Press Dispatch BY Special wires.


Toronto, Ont, Sept Z. "A special
flispatch from Cornwall to the Globe,
giving details OF yesterdays bridge &C
cident there. Gays tine cause OF the
disaster will not he positively known
until diyera have searched the wreck
lying at the !, bottom Of the ST. Law
renee. The river is divided by Cornwall
Island, and the Hcene of the disaster
was In the aUuth channel. There IRE
two atoms piers in the centre of the
stream, supporting three spans OF iron
work, each 300 feet long and II feet
above high water.
The accident centred around the pier
nearer the south or American shore. Ii
was about three minutes to tho noon
OF tine bridge felt the two southern
spans give way bensath them, and
| they were thrown into the water or
caught and crushed in the wreck. Mono
| of them can give q clear idea of what
| happened, and there will probably be
| expensive litigation before the liability
ia placed.
The piers and mason work were built
by the Sooysmith Co. OF New York,
and the ironwork by the Phoenix
| Bridge Co. OF PhmnixVille, Pa. Tbs
| masonry, though not formally accepted,
was practically completed, and all the
men at work were employees or the
bridge company. Naturally. therefore,
the tendency, SO far as it is based on
the testimony OF employees, is to blame
the Sooysmith 20, On the other hand
there ia the emphatic statement OF an
eyewitness to the contrary. Capt.

distance below the bridge at thu time.
and says that the southerly span col
lapsed first, pulling the pier and the
next span with 1t towards the Amsri-
can shore, The spans which fell had
lust been completed, and the false
work underneath was being removed,
and IL is possible that in some way the
bridge was injured.
Another theory is that the foundation
of the pier had been undermined by
water and orumbled away, dragging
down the bridge. In that case, the
pier would not ahow signs of beini
pulled towards the southern shore, bul
would be diredtly in the channel OF thu
river. Only thorough Investigation
can settle the point.
