in the responsibility for the collapse
of the Bridge Square approach to the
steel arch bridge Monday. Tuesday
morning Mr.. Rinker said that the
bridge, which is an iron girder struc-
ture. was built by the Great Northern
railway in 1890. 1t was then partly
paved with cedar block and partly
planked. Afterward the grade of the
roadway was raised so .as to carry off
the water which collected on the paw
ing and had tendency to injure the
iron work below. Iron buckle plates
were put in to hold the concrete and
other filling material. The wooden
paving was replaced by brick. All
this greatly increased the load on the
bridge, but everything done was done
by the Great Northern Railway COM
p;lny and passed upon by Max Toltz,
the chief engineer of the road. "rhe
city has had nothing to do with the
bridge, as far as can learn" said
Mr.. Rinker, ''and takes the position
that it is the duty of the Great North
ern railway to keep it in repair and
provide for it's safety" Nevertheless
many are inclined to the opinion that
the city cannot escape share in the
blame. The accident is most serious
one, even though no lives were lost.
Under certain circumstances hun
dred or more persons might have been
killed and injured

WIELDER OF HAMMER
CAUGHT IN MARYLAND
Father-in-Law SurrenderS Wright
TO Authorities.

After a chase replete with unusual
incidents Walter Wright. negro. who
assaulted Henry Town, a carpenter,
with a hammer last Tuesday. was cap
tured near Kingston. Montgomery coun-
ty yesterday afternoon. He was
brought to Washington, and lodged In
the Eighth precinct, where he will be
held to await the result Of Towns in
juries.
Town is reported better at Sih-
fey Hospital today, and the physicians
believe ne will recover.
The beginning of the end OF Wright's
fight from justice occurred late We'd
nesday night, when Lieutenant Jordan.
Of the Eighth precinct, learned that the
negro had relatives in Montgomery
county. A detail Of police, consisting
Of Sergeant DUNCAN and Policemen
Sweeney and Waldron, was ordered on
the trail
On reaching Maryland they obtained
the help of Deputy Sheriff Jones, and
the quartet went Immediately to the
home of Daniel Brown, cousin OF the
fugitive. Before the police arrived,
however. Wright had received warning
and fed to the woods. He was finally
tracked to the home of his uncle. As

reward had been offered for his ar
rest.

money in order to fight the prosecution.

had been attacked by Town before the
assault which occurred at the Trumbull
Street pumping station. He says he
! used the hammer in self-defense, but
] this is denied by several witnesses.

SOUTHERN ACCUSED OF
FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION
Charges Filed by Danville Fruit
Shipping Concern.

Another complaint was made to the
Interstate Commerce Commission today
Of alleged discrimination in freight rates
on fruit shipments in the South.
L. b. Gardner and w. w. Clark. Of the
firm of Gardner & Clark of Danville, Va,
are the complainants, and the defendant
is the Southern Railroad. The com
plainants assert that the railroad
charges them 43 cents a hundred pounds
on bananas shipped in 10000 pound mini
mum car lots from Charleston. S. c.. to
DanviIe. a distance of $40 miles. while
rival concerns are shipping $4,000 mini
mum car lots from Charleston to Lynch
burg and Richmond. a distance of As
and $40 miles respectively. at 20 cents
a hundred pounds.
The complainants would like to know
just why such things are allowed, and
they pathetically cite a case IN which
they attempted to get the better of their
alleged Determinations, with disastrous
results. The complainants filled seven
teen cars with bananas and billed the
whole lot through DanviIle to Lynch
! burg. Then. when the cars reached Dan
vile, they stopped them and removed
one half Of the bananas from each car
sending the remainder to Lynchburg.
BY this means the shippers hoped e
land their fruit in Danville at 20 cents
hundred pounds.
But they failed miserably, and to make
matters worse they had to pay more
than double the original rate. The com
/ pany taxed them the local rate of 2
cents q hundred for the bananas dump
| ed at Danville, exclusive Of the 20 cents
which made the cost TO the shippers IS
| cents.
| That ended negotiations then anC
| there. The shippers decided tricks
would not win, so they put the MATES
in the hands OF their lawyers, who have
