BRIDGE GAVE WAY
AND CAR GOES DOWN.
Thirty Passengers Are Injured in the
Crash at Syracuse, N. Y.
DROP OF THIRTY FEET INTO MUD.
Several Persons and iior;e and Load:d
Lumber Wagon Fall With the Car Into the
Oswego CanaI..IIad the Canal Been ri!ieo
With Water, Many Of TIE People In the Car
Would Have Been Drowned.

Syracuse, N. Y. (Special) While a
car en- the old East Side suburban line
of the Syracuse Rapid Transit Company
was crossing the James street bridge
over the Oswego Canal in the heart OF
the city about $50 p. m, the bridge sud,
denly gave way, dropping the car and
its 40 passengers to the canal bed 80 feet
below. Several persons who were
crossing the bridge at the time went
down with the car, while a horse and
loaded lumber wagon piled on top OF the
heap.
About 80 persons were injured. 1t is
not believed that any deaths will result;
although there are reports that several
were very seriously injured
Had the canal been filled with water
the result would have been terrible. The
car struck the towpath end on first, and
then slid off into the mud at the canal
bottom, where it stuck. The water
would have been deep enough to cover
all but few windows and the front
door, and many of the passengers would
have undoubtedly persisted.
When the crash came persons on the
street called the fire department. Lad
ders were quickly lowered and the in
jurcd carried up and sent to their homes
or to hospitals in carriages and ambu-
lances.
For more than year there have beer
criticisms of the condition of the bridge
The bridge was about 80 feet long anc
Go feet wide 1t was broken sharp of
at both ,embankments, the entire Struc-
ture going into the canal.

BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR BURNED.
About 100000 Bushels of Wheat and Corn
Are DESTROYED.

St. Louis (SpeciaD.-Spa from a
switch engine set fire to the big elevator
on the river front at the foot of Biddle
street, owned by the St. Louis Elevator
and Storage Company, and within less
than two hours the building was re-
duced to ashes, entailing loss OF nearly
$65o,ooo. II. c. Haarstick, president OF
the company, said the building and the
contents, which consisted OF about 8oo,-
600 bushels OF wheat and corn, were
fully insured. 1t was his opinion that
the loss of the grain would not affect
the local market. The burned elevator
was the second largest in St. Louis, and
was used for storage purposes by others
than members of the St. Louis Elevator
and Storage Company, but the latter
just at this time happened to own most
OF the grain. The building contained
corn and wheat OF grades below No. 2
Only a small quantity OF high-class
cereals was stored there.

TURNED TABLES on HlGHWAYMEN.
Merry Conductor Wellman Shot Two Negroes
Who Tried to Hold Him Up.

Ceredo, w. Va. (SpeciaD.-It was
scarcely breaking day when Conductor
NJ. A. Welman, of the N. & w., left
the hotel in Kenova on his way to catch
his train southbound He was not
more than a hundred yards from the
hotel when gruff voice shouted, Halt!
Hands up" and two burly negroes
sprang towards him out Of the dark
ness, with pistols in their hands. There
was no time to think, but Wellmans
nerve did not leave him for an instant.
When his hands came out of his over
coat pockets a pistol was in each one
of them, and before his assailants could
pull trigger the bulldogs OF the nervy
Wellman began to bark. The negroes
turned to run, and it looked as though
they might escape because of the little
light. Wellman, however, shot to hit,
and in trice he had brought both to
the pavement seriously injured, one
shot through and through, the bones
of the others thigh shattered by two
balls. The men were turned over to the
local authorities, and Wellman caught
his train.

Berlin (By Cable). A dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette from St. Petersburg
says hard fighting is reported to have oc,,
Cured between the First, Second and
Third East Siberian Rifle Regiments
and several thousand of Chinese troops
between Kobantsy and Sir-Min-I
The Russians lost captain and several
men killed and lieutenant colonel, sey,-

cd. The Chinese lost heavily and re-
treated, with the Russians pursuing
them. The date of the engagement Is
not mentioned in the dispatch.
Another dispatch to the Cologne Ga

April 4, says the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries have agreed OH the punishmen!S
of the guilty provincial officials to be
demanded by the foreign ministers on
account of the murder of 242 persons,
missionaries and their wives and chill
drer.
Prince Tuan's fate has finally been
decided. His death sentence will be
committed to Punishment to Turkestafi.
The list of guilty Chinese provincial au-
thorities includes only four to be be-
headed and several degradations. Ihe,
Chinese commissioners are surprised
that the guilty officials should escape
with such light punishments. The IN
formant' of the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press added "and well they
may"
The Frankfurter Zeitung published
another letter from Pekin containing a
verbatim account of the interview be-
tween Dr. Mum Won Schwarzenstein
German Minister to China, and a Chi
nese Prince. The most interesting point
in the interview is the Princes open ad
mission that if the allied troops are now
withdrawn the Boxers would lmmedl-
ately appear in strong force.

1t is alleged that the shortage in the

In contrast with the scandals in the
