Killed Near Denmark.
Mr. Wiley : Wolknr section

Mr.. Wiley S. Walker, section fore
man on the South Carolina and Geor-
gia Railroad at Denmark. was instant
ly killed near that place on Tuesday
night of last week by being struck by
the tender of Engine No. II. The
Denmark Times says the engine was
backing down the track at high rate
of speed. and it is said displayed no
light other than small lantern. MIR.
Walker was coming toward Denmark
with his section crew on crank car.
They had been working all day on the
wreck at Bamberg. Besides their tools,
there was barrel and two sacks Of
flour on the car When they heard the
approaching engine there was time to
save themselves if they had abandoned
the car, but Foreman Walker, true to
his duty-realizing that if the car re-
mained on the track it might derail the
swiftly moving engine, ordered his men
to lift it aside. They Grst rolled off
the -four and tossed to one side the
tools. Two men were outside the rails
and Mr.. Walker and Dick Parler were
inside lifting at the car They had it
upended when the tender struck, hurl
ing the crank car. the foreman and his
crew into the ditch. The three mem
bers of the crew escaped without in

A FATAL FALL.
The B;.;dge OF New York and
Ottawa Railroad Collapsed.
WERE PLUNGED INTO WATER.
Eighty 1.-Two Men at Work on the
Structure. Gave Way With
out Warning. Carried Its
Human Freight Down
With lr Into Stream.

About noon Wednesday tive south
spans Of the International bridge. of
the New York and Ottawa railway, now
under construction across the St. Law
renee river, about three miles above
St. Regis Indian village, in the State Of
New York, fell without warning, with
90 men at work on the bridge, all being
thrown into the river, some so feet be-
low. Over 80 were picked up and
taken to Cornwall hospital and y are
now missing. The bridge consists Of
three spans. Of which two were COM
pleted and the third was nearly COM
pleted, when the south pier gave way
at its foundation, causing both spans
to fall into so feet of water, taking its
load of human freight with it.
The scene of the accident is located
about four miles from Hogansburg, n.
Y, above the St. Regis Indian reserva-
ton. The bridge that gave way was
being built across the St. Lawrence
river at the foot of Long Salute rapids
near Reinhardt's 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 span of the bridge seems to
have been from the washing away Of
one Of the large piers.
Late reports from Cornwall hospital
says 80 men have been taken out Of the
river and transferred to the hospital.
Eighteen of them have since died.
The latest information concerning to-
days tragedy makes it probable that
the death list will reach 80. Many Of
the men are terribly injured. AS far
as can be learned 50 men reported for
work this morning. Of this list only
IS have actually been accounted for.
An eyewitness Of the fall Of the
bridge says he was sitting on the bank
Of the river, watching the busy work
men above him, when, without warn
ing there came fearful crash. Two
spans Of the bridge collapsed, the i'm
mense mass of timber and iron dropped
down, and the agonizing shrieks Of the
men who were being crushed in the
wreck were drowned by the rushing
waters. Then he saw bodies coming to
the surface, and the work of rescue be-
gan
This was hopelessly inadequate, there
being only few boats in the vicinity:
and very few men who could undertake
to swim out into the turbulenS waters.
Many who might have been saved were
drowned before help could reach them.
About 50 Of the men employed on the
span were Americans. The remainder
were mostly Indians. who acted as as
sistants.
Every man on the division went down
with the wreck. Many Of those who
escaped climbed up the iron work,
which still rested on piers at either
end. The scene around the Hotel Dieu,
where the wounded and dying were
taken, is heart rending spectacle.
The wives and relatives, Of missing
men are anxiously inquiring after their
loved ones.

NEW EODE OF COLLECTION.
An East St. Louis Man Goes at it With
Brace of Pistols.

Wm. r. Mcfarland of the horse
commission firm of Mcfarland & Evans
of East St. Louis Thursday walked into
the Office Of Louis Newgass & Son at
the stock yards in Chicago, and present
ing q revolver at the head Of Louis \.
Newgass. the junior member of the
firm. commanded him to send for his
cashier, Frank Moseley. Upon the
appearance of Moseley, Mcfarland drew
another revolver and ordered the cashier
to draw check in his favor forslO, ,4l6,
which he claimed the firm owed him.
When the cashier had finished making
out the check, Mcfarland calmly IN
structed Newgass, at the same time Civ
in3 menacing flourish to his weapons:
to atfix his signature to the paper. That
done. the man from East St. Louis
lined the two frightened men up against
the wall of the office, and with all the
solemnity Of Judge at the bar admin
istercd an oath to them to the effect
that they would not attempt to follow
him or raise an outcry. He then de-
parted, after slowing his revolvers and
the check in his pockets. As soon as
the visitor had left the Office. however,
Moseley and Newgass telephoned the
police headquarters whathad happened
The check was drawn on the National
Live Stock bank, and Police Captain
LAWN Immediately dispatched two de-
tectives to the bank Mcfarland was
standing at the cashiers window with
the check in his hand when the officers
entered. He was so intent upon e1-
changing the paper for currency that he
failed to notice the detectives until they
stood, one at each elbow, and seized
him. Mcfarland was quickly disarmed
and few minutes later was behind the
bars of cell at the police station. The
80. 4l6 which Mcfarland attempted to
collect by intimidsting Newgass and
Moseley is said to be the amount due
Mcfarland in consequence of sale Of
horses to the De Four Commission COM
pany. The transaction is said to have
taken place some time ago, when
the time was set fer the payment
of the money Is days after
the delivery of the stock. Later,
it is claimed the time for payment was
cut down to FIVE days, whereupon the
De Four company transferred its inter
est in the deal to Newgass & Sen. Me-
Farland feared he would come out loser
in the transfer and chose summary tao
tics to ret even.
