there was an acute possibility that a
disagreement might result and the
whole proceedings fall TO the ground.

WORKMEN HURLED TO DEATH
Twelve Men Killed by Falling Crane
at Wabash Bridge, Near Pittsburq.

Pittsburg, Oct. 20.-By the breaking
OF the ropes carrying five beams to
their position, letting the tons of iron
fail upon the movable crane at the
Pittsburg end of the new Wabash
bridge being built by the American
Bridge Company over the Monongahela
river, almost a dozen workmen were
hurled to death by fall of more than
100 feet. striking the water and two
barges beneath. Eight of the dead
have been recovered. Five are seri-
ously injured. Several bodies are yet
pinned under the wrecked barge The
part of the bridge extending out over
the river from the Water street side
is total wreck.
1t was rumored that the accident
was due to an experiment in the con-
struction of the ridge in order to save
time. The rumor had it that this was
the first bridge ever built without I'M
derpinning, and that the company did
not use any underpinning because it
was thought that much time might be
saved.
John McTighe happened to be on the
Monongahela wharf. watching the men
at work when the accident occurred
McTighe, in giving a description OF
the accident. said
THE men were preparing to ram in
one of the pins on the bridge when
the accluent took place. Before knew
what had happened 1 saw the entire
top OF the traveller collapse and the
next minute the men were falling
through the air. 1t was a terrible
sight. The men turned over and over
as they fell. and their bodies looked
like so many flies. One of the men
who fell from the top of the structure
alighted on his head on the barge and
rebounded several feet, falling into
the water. His crushed body was TAX

forger, is at large. Eluding the sleepy
vigilance of two deputies from the
United States marshars Office in Den

tectives guard every railroad station
and ferry house within the city limits,
but Bell has covered his tracks SO clev-
erly that no one recognized him after
he left the train
There was nothing dramatic in Bells
escape. When the train pulled into
Broad Street Station he remarked:
II guess I'll go back to the wash room
and fix up a bit"
"All right" responded the deputy
I'll go with you"
The two men entered the wash room

agreed to fix, with this exception, the
entire boundary as outlined in the
American case. Messrs. Aylesworth
and Jette, the Canadian commission
ers, refused to sign the decision. and
make it unanimous, but 1t will not

This afternoon everything was ready
for signature.
Ieoves Boundary Where II Now Is.
Washington, Oct. 19.-The effect of
the decision, it is stated here, is to
leave the Alaskan boundary practi-
cally where it is now. The main point
OF the Canadian contention involved
the outlet from the Klondike gold
fields at the head of Lynn canal, in
Guiding the ports of Skagway and
Dyea, through which the Klondike
business is transacted. These ports
remain American territory. The deci-
sion is taken to concede the American
claim to a strip 10 leagues in width
from tidewater, extending from the
head of Portland canal to the 141st
meridian of west longitude. The
Americans laid especial stress upon
their contention that this strip should
be measured from the heads of estu-
aries, or bays, while the Canadians
argued that the measurement should
be from the main water of the ocean
The control of the sites of Skagway
and Dyea was involved in this con-
troversy.
