EVIDENCE OF NEGLECT.
INVESTIGATION OF THE MANAGEMENT
BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Official Investigations of the mishap to the
Brooklyn Bridge now in order Acting Dis
trict Attorney, lie Barber has asked the police TO
ascertain and report if the bridge officials had
advance information of the defects in the struc-
tural parts of the bridge and If those defects
existed some time before the breaks occurred
on Wednesday. He has declared that he will
lay before the grand jury any facts tending to
show criminal negligence the part of the
bridge officials. President Sexton of the Health
Board yesterday sent inspectors to examine the
bridge, saying that the sanitary officials would
cooperate with the District Attorney and the
police. He said the Health Board could stop all
traffic on the bridge if there reason to be-
lieve the structure was unsafe.
1t was apparent yesterday that public interest
in the condition of the bridge has been greatly
excited, and that the people of the city in
clined TO hold the bridge officials TO account for
neglect of the structure. Many thousands of
people crossed the bridge on foot yesterday,
and thousands stopped midway to look at the
places where the suspender rods connecting the
north cable with the roadway structure had
broken There were heard on every side express
sions of condemnation directed against the
bridge management and against the Tammany
administration responsible for that management.
Most people who went on the bridge yesterday
appeared to be convinced that there had been
gross negligence of the structure since the con-
troll passed from the bridge trustees to a Com
missioner of Bridges as result of consolidation
and the bringing in of the present Tammany
administration 1t was declared by many that
the iron work Of the bridge had been allowed to
go without sufficient paint to keep il from rust
ing, and that there had been repairs worth
mentioning for three years. For long time
there had been persistent violation of the rule
bridge less than 100 feet apart. Countless peo-
pie said yesterday that IL had become the rule
TO the cars too close together for safety, and
that the rush hours it common for the
cars TO be only few feet apart in the middle Of
the span.
New-York tribune., 1901-07-26
EVIDENCES OF RUST AND DECAY.

Observation and inquiry by reporters of The
Tribune yesterday confirmed much Of the criti-
cism that was heard on every hand Evidences
of rust and decay in the ironwork Of the bridge
are plentiful. Anybody who walks the
bridge can see plenty of rust that should have
been prevented by paint, and it is admitted by
the bridge officials that the structure has not
been repainted in about three years. A reporter
who looked carefully yesterday at the suspender
rods that broke on Wednesday that there
was much rust about the ends of the rods The
rust was particularly noticeable at the lower
ends where the breaks occurred.
s r Probasco. the acting chief engineer in
the absence of Mr.. Martin declared that the
rust had nothing do with the breaks. He
said the breaks due entirely to the
pansion of the ronwork Of the bridge When
asked when the bridge had been repainted last
he could not tell Bridge Commissioner Shea
was away from the city. but Deputy Commits
sioner York said the bridge structure had not
been painted in three years. although painters
had been at work here and there the
tire Another official said there had been little
painting on the bridge in three years.
1t was learned that there had been no system
attic inspection of the bri 1ge since the present
administration came in Most people have sup
posed that competent engineers kept close watch
of the bridge. that inspections were made weekly
or daily and that any defect i'll any part of the
structure would be discovered promptly. Appar-
entity there has been too much confidence in the
bridge management. AS matter of fact. the
bridge has been left to itself, if it were ex-
pected to tell its own troubles. 1t is somewhat
surprising that the breaks in the structure We're
discovered on Wednesday. Mr. Probasco ap-
peared TO be surprised yesterday when he was
asked what system of inspection was in use on
the bridge.

A nan sTATE OFF AFrAIRs.

Moultrie Observer: On the farm OF j.
]. Blackburn a few miles from Harris
field, some one approached a negro cabin
about 10 o'clock at night and emptied six
teen shots from a Winchester rife into
ct. The affair occurred Tuesday OF last
week and resulted in the wounding of
two negroes named John and Richard,
the last named quite seriously Both
these, negroes were employees of c. e.
Holmes turpentine plant and were con-
sdered Industrious and harmless. The
man Richard was reading his Bible when
the shooting began. The opinion seems
to prevail among the substantial men of
that section that determined effort is
being made to drive the negroes out by
the poorer whites who object to having
them come in competition with their
labor. Mr.. Blackburn, states that it is
now almost impossible to get laborers
to work 10 the turpeutine camps or on
the farms OF that particular section.
