at work searching for more bodies. but
further than many bits of personal prop

formal inquest was begun this afternoon
and conducted by Coroner d. L. Fields.
The testimony of several spectators and
participants In the accident was taken.
w. L. Witham. who constructed the land
ing stage had. however, some extremely
damgaing testimony to offer. He said he
had constructed the landing stage exactly
according to orders from p. n. Watson.
Superintendent Of Buildings and Bridges
of the Maine Central Railroad. He at
tributed the break to the fact that there
were no plates backing Up the bolts which
joined the iron braces to the wooden sup
ports The wooden stringers, which ran
the entire length Of the slip or landing
stage. were four in number, and of soft
spruce. When the great strain came the
slip settled gradually and the bolts drew
through the soft wood and the iron sup
ports fell away. The wood braces being
so frail, there was nothing more natural
than that the slip should break at the part
of greatest pressure. which was in the
middle.

THE MURDERER's TRIAL.

October Term.

Il
October Term.
There is hardly any doubt that the mur-
derer OF little Lizzie Weisenberger will be
brought to trial as speedily as the ma
chinery of the courts will admit The in
human crime committed by Smell was the
chief topic of discussion at the City Hall
yesterday and District Attorney Henry E.
Davis was called upon many times during
the day for information relative to the
probability of an early trial of the MUIR
derer.
While he will take cognizance OF the
matter at once, Mr.. Davis informed all
seekers for information that under the law
in the District ii Will be impossible to
bring Snellto trial before the opening Of
the Octoberiferm of the Supreme Court of
the District This condition of affairs ex-
lists, he said, because there is no provision
in the law authorizing the summoning Of
a petit jury,fo serve during an extra term
OF the court The crime with which Smell
is charged will, however. be called to the
attention ofzthe grand jury this morning.
and there Is little doubt that an indict-
ment will be rendered within the next few
days. Chief Clerk Harvey Given was yes
terday instructed to summon all the witt
nesses who are in possession OF any Of the
facts or circumstances connected with the
commission of the murder to appear before
