THE NEW BR1DGE.-Wcrk is pro-
crossing as rapidly as possible at the
Tempe bridge, but it will be. several
months before the new steel bridge is
in place. The new structure will total
the same length practically as the
present one, but there will be more
trestle work and less length of bridge
or span. At present the force en-
ployed is placing false work under the
south span. taking down the span, and
preparing to drive piles for the trestle
at that end. The steel spans will be
longer than the present wooden Cnes
and probably one less in number

in railroad wrecks. He was Il brake

explosion OF car of powder. When
the accident occurred he was running
back to see what was the matter, and
when it was over he was within a car
length OF the big hole in the ground
practically uninjured Wednesday
when the wreck occurred at Ramsgate
he was riding on the same car with
George McGrath, who was killed. As
the car rolled over the embankment
McArdle slid down its upper side on to
the track, from which he jumped to
safety. while McGTath went down the
hill with the car.
