be sent to Barcelona and the other large
places in Spain where our consular repre-
sentations were suspended during the
war. At the same time Spanish consuls
will be appointed through this country.
For time the trade and navigation be-
tween the two countries will proceed
without treaty protection as the war put
an end to the commercial treaty. but q
treaty Of trade, navigation and COM
merce. suitable to the new conditions
and the needs Of both countries and also
an extradition treaty will be negotiated
soon.

-FOUR MEN ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
LIFE CRUSHED OUT IN THE COL
LAPSING OF A BIG BRIDGE
SUPERSTRUCTURE
Thirty Workmen Were on the
Structure When 1t FelI-In Adj
dition to the Killed Several 9th
ers Were Seriously Injured.

+ NEW YORK, April 1.-THE temporary
bridge, now being built over the Harlem
river, collapsed this afternoon, killing
four men and seriously injuring six, one
of whom may die. Twelve or more other
workmen also received injuries of more
or less serious nature.
i The dead are:
LEWIS BEATTIE.
WILLIAM DELANEY, sixty-five years
old.
WALTER DELANEY, son Of the above
twenty-five years old.
The aa most seriously seriously injured Injured are: re:pef
Charles PurSley, thirty-f1ve years old !;
skull fractured; will probably die; Har-
lem hospital.
Joseph Perry, twenty-seven years, head
crushed.
Daniel sheehan, twenty-five years, hurt
about the head, arms crushed.
s. c. Wolf, crushed about the head and
body.
Simon Medic, twenty-eight years old,
crushed.
The accident occurred; at 2:30 o'clock
and was caused by too great weight We
ing put on the travelling derrick that
crossed the superstructure.
The superstructure connected the north
shore sustaining wall with a pier and was
a fimsy affair stretching 300 feet across
deep water, built in three sections, one
above another, to a height of about sixty
feet. Over this massive travelling crane
or carrier was operated. Twenty-Five to
thirty men were employed on the struc-
ture when the collapse occurred.
A heavy load of steel beams was being
sent out on the crane when the timbers
gave way and the entire structure went
down with crash. AS the supporting
timbers began to give, the heavily laden
crane ran raNdly forward for a short
distance and toppled into the river. As
1T went down the upright crashed into
the workmen, striking the Delaneys and
Beattie, killing them instantly and ter
ribly mangling their bodies. Many of the
men were carried down with the wreck
Only few succeeded in getting to the
pier, the majority either failing into the
water or into the tangle Of iron and
woodwork.

With the Governor Regarding

In Disarm All Prisoners.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April ia con-
ference was held today between Gov.
Tanner and Sheriff Downey, Of Chris
tan county, and other prominent OH
cials and citizens Of Pana, including
Chief of Police Kelly, City Attorney }.
H. Morgan, S. E. Smith, Of the Pana
Gazette, and Jacob Swallow, of the Pana
Palladium, in regard to the situation in
that city. A heated controversy arose
between the governor and Mr. Smltn
over the question of removing the troops
from Pana, the result of which was that
Mr.. Smith was ordered to leave the
room.
Gov. Tanner asked Sheriff Downey
why he left Pana when he did to take a
prisoner to Taylorville when he had zoo
armed deputies In Pana. The sheriff
acknowledged that many of his special
deputies were as anxious as anybody 10
kill the prisoner. To this the governor
said: "You fell down when you left the
scene of battle and left your deputies
without commander don't think you
are capable of maintaining order, and
think If you had been left in charge
there would have been a terrible mas
sacre 1t was very evident you had mis-
represented the situation to me. I took
the responsibility upon myself to SEND
troops and have instructed that al
prisoners shall be disarmed."
Sheriff Downey soon after practically
admitted it was his purpose, with the ale
of the special deputies, to assist the
union miners in getting the colored mer
out of Pana and preventing other col
ored men from coming In.
The governor told the delegation thai
he would take the troops away as soor
as order was restored.

authorities by the management of

city was arrested, charged with
selling liquor without license. In

were found. To get to the bar one
had to gothrough clump of bushes
and over a foot bridge. The pumps
were all intact last evening when a
raid was made. Goslin claims that
he has paid the Government special
tax and that he is the stewart of
club. 1t is also claimed that men,
bers or agents of the Greenback
Club circulated among the people
at the Park and sold tickets. The
tickets were presented at the bar
and beer and whisky secured to
their face value. Goslin was taken
before Magistrate Sasse this morn

to close out for the season or preach
to empty houses. A week before
each Sabbath of the camp meeting
season every team in ali the livery
stables of the city is engaged All
the private carriages to be gotten
are brought into use, and the town
for that day is dead. Pastors
claim that the spiritual declension
resulting from attendance on these
meetings requires months of hard
work to get their churches in IA nor

refuse absolutely to attend camp
meetings or give them their moral
support. They claim that the
meetings are opportunities for poll
