II not dS great Us IL SHoulu Oe- some
of the wooden plates. the aldermen
concluded, should be replaced and
some of the iron joints should be
frightened to lessen the vibration.
One Bridge Unsafe.
The small wooden structure over
the old tailrace south of the second
bridge is sagged badly and is unques-
tionably not safe. This. however,
could be replaced by a fill or the old
canal at the Sears end of the bridges
could be filed and the steel bridge
there used at the other place.
The greatest amount of apprehen
sion has been expressed by the people
of Milan and others who have Occa-
sion to use the bridges. on account of
the alleged unsafe condition of the
south structure, and the aldermen
made the most careful examination of
this. Some of the wooden parts were
found to be more or less decayed. but
when a couple of loads of rocks, to-
gether with the street car, were sent
over them on the trot, just to see
what th> effect would be, the alder
men from below could see no evil
dences of weakness. while those on
the bridge did not note any dangerous
swaying. \ number of residents of
Milan, who were present when the
test was made, were not satisfied and
insisted that the structure is unsafe
for ordinary traffic.
As before stated, it remains to be
seen what effect the trip of the mem
bers of the council will have in their
future enactments with regard to the
Improvement of the bridges. If they
are safe and will bear electric cars
with a little repairing, all well and
good. If any of them need replacing,
the situation is the same. The point
is that the bridges should be made
strong enough to enable modern
methods of transportation to he en-
ployed between the city and the CON
tiguous territory Under the circum-
stances it is the business of the city,
rather than that of the county or of
any private transportation company,
to see that this is done. The welfare
OF the city as whole and of the en-
tire country south that depends upon
the city for the main part of its sup
plies is involved.
Public sentiment demands that there
be no further quibbling in this mat
ter and the city may as well accept
the responsibility that already rests
upon il and end the controversy. y
portion of the costs should be assess
ed to the street railway companies
that use the bridges, but the position
of the county is well known in regard
to contributing any considerable
share. Its financial condition does
not warrant any heavy expense in this
direction. and in the absence of
compelling law it can hardly be eN-
pected to voluntarily shoulder the
burden.
The position of Aid. Blochlinger,
chairman of the bridge committee of
the city council. is to be commended.
He has labored consistently since the
beginning Of his present term to
bring about a settlement of the ques-
ton. and the recommendation that
his committee has now brought in and
is before the body should receive
prompt and favorable attention.

Repeal Ordinance.

The council at the short business
session repealed the ordinance for
the paving of Twenty-ninth street
from Seventh to Ninth avenues, which
was found to be faulty when brought
into court and which served to rather
strain the relations between Aid. Ken

wav is now clear for the board of
local improvements to begin new pro
ceedings and bring in another ordi-
nance.

CAPT. WOOLARD JAILED.
Held for Murder-SaiIor Given Six
Months for Resisting Officer.

Halifax, N. S., July 15.-Capt. Frank
Woodland of the schooner Heber f.
Written, from Gloucester, who shot and
killed John Yetman on July 4, has been
committed to the supreme court of
Newfoundland to stand his trial for
murder, and Joseph Walsh, one of the
crew, has been sentenced to six months
in prison with hard labor, for obstruct-
ing the constable when he went to ar
rest the captain.
The evidence given by Constable
Green at the examination was some
what sensational. Green said that when
the crew of the schooner Argo GIG in
number) learned of the killing of Yet
man, they threatened to avenge their
countryman's death. They talked of
boarding the schooner battening Capt.
Woolard in the cabin and firing the
vessel so that she might burn to the
waters edge, but the captain prevailed
upon them to allow the law to take its
course When Green stepped on the
deck of the Written he was confronted
by Walsh, burly Newfoundlander who
was armed with a revolver and threat
ened to shoot the first man who put
a hand on Capt Woolard. Walsh was
knocked down with club, overpowered
and taken ashore.
Capt. Woolard is now in the peniten-
tiary and will remain there until his
trial takes place in October.

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS
Endorse Roosevelt ard Are Ready TO
Back Ex-Gov. Bradley.

Louisville, Ky. July 5.-Spcctaculnr
in the extreme was the opening SEES
sion of the Kentucky Republican state
convention at the Auditorium, this af-
ternoon, and the situation is full of
possibilities for more interesting events.
The two salient features OF the after
noon were: First, an endorsement Of
President RooSeVelt'S candidacy in
1901; second almost II stampede to For
mer Gov. VIM. O. bradley, Who is not
an announced candidate for governor.
The endorsement of President Roose-
veltS candidacy upset the calculations
of several shrcwd leaders. who, it is
charged. were figuring on ignoring that
point.
Immediately after the committees
were announced. Former Governor
bradley offered the following resolu-
tons:
Resolved, that we, the Republicans
of Kentucky. express our heartfelt APP
prevail and admiration Of Theodore
Roosevelt and that we heartily endorse
him for the Republication nomination
for President in 1904
The resolution was unanimously
adopted by Il rising vote. every dele
gate sprinCing to his feet and cheer
ing. Immediately after Mr.. Bradley
was given tremendous ovation. After
five minutes of uninterrupted cheering
he consented to take the stage and
speak. The pith of his remarks was an
appeal for honest elections and honest
conventions and he referred indirectly
to the contest over the Louisville dele
cation by pleading that the delegates
nominate only q man whose methods
had been fair and honest and one who
could command united support
Hundreds of delegates gathered
about him and declared that he was
the man who most rcscmblcd the pic
ture he had himsef drawn. It Mr..
Bradley had been placed in nomination
then he would have received an almost
unanimous vote on the assumption that
his nomination would wipe out any
bitterness caused by the Louisville con-
test.
After an hour of steadily growing
excitement, the convention suddenly
adjourned until O'Clock tonight.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials, it was announced at the night
session would not be ready. tonight, ana
adjournment was taken until O'Clock
tomorrow morning. ngCi
A ballot in the race for governor
may not be reached until tomorrow
afternoon.

LITTLE UNDER PROTECTION.
Officers by Hard Work Again Prevent a
Lynching.

Albany, N. Y, July 15.-James Little,
the negro who assaulted a little girl
near New Baltimore, Tuesday, and who
was removed to Catskill for fear a mob
would lynch him, was taken from the
Catskill Jail at 7.2S o'clock, Wednesday
morning, and put aboard q boat bound
for New Baltimore. The purpose of the
removal was the arrangement of the
prisoner before a local justice. The ne
gro was an abject wreck, through fear,
although he was guarded by an espec-
tally strong sheriff's posse in anticipa-
ton of trouble.
At New Baltimore d mob composed
of farmers, strike moulders from Cox
sackie and boat hands had gathered.
Among them was Jos. Cole, the father
of the 11-yearold girl who was as
sauted. Cole was in an excited state,
and as the boat locked, drew revolt
yer. He was quickly disarmed by Dep
uty Sheriff Gould, who succeeded in
Quieting him.
The prisoner was taken without mo-
lestation to the town hall, but Justice
of the Peace Noel Nelson refused to
proceed with the Arrangement until a
lawyer was present for his own guild
ance. This delayed the case for two
hours, While a lawyer was coming from
Catskill.
In the meanwhile news of the favor

been widely spread and the girls father
had yielded to wiser counsel, so by the
time the examination began all dan

Little pleaded not guilty to the
charges of rape and assault in the first
degree, waived examination and was
bound over to the Green county grand
jury in November He was then taken
back to Catskill and in default of bail
committed to Jail. There is no excite

During the day the Pope took Il slight
amount of nourshment. Through the
morning he was quite restless, shift
ing uncasily on his bed and complain
ing of being unable to secure an easy
position.
Later he became droWsy and during
the afternoon had some sleep. The as
SemDlinC of the doctors at $50 o'clock,
two hours before the usual time, was
not due to any alarming turn in the
Popc's condition, but through the wish
to thoroughly go over every detail of
the situation. The moderate tone of
the bulletins which followed the visit
gave an assurance that the patients
condition was practically unchanged,
while the expression that depression of
his strength had not increased, afford
cd a slight note of relief.
This evening, His Holiness COM
planned of slight uneasiness at the

remark that he expected the oppression
of his chest to pass off in a few days.

trip Il private Waterman fired at one
or the mop. 4 ne SHol went WIZ, Dut
it innamcd the mob, which charged
the police.
The latter were waiting for the
crowd and when it arrived, the officers
went at it with fists and clubs In less
than three minutes every member of
the mob who could use his feet was
doing so to the best of his ability.
Fully a dozen men with broken heads
were left lying in the street where
they had been knocked by the clubs
of the officers.
About 20 arrests were made during
the day.
