FALLS FROM BRIDGE.
AND BROWNS IN RIVER

"A man believed to be August Meyers,
fireman of the steamer Hiawatha, either
fell or jumped into the river from the
Great Western bridge, st. Paul, at 9
pm. yesterday, and was drowned.
E. Fogelson, engineer Of the. bridge,
says he saw the man approaching and
thought he was going to walk across
to the West Side. Fogelson was on
the pier. When near the center Of the
bridge, the man walked to one side,
then wavering moment, either fell or
jumped into the river. ...E
Fogelson shouted to the man in the
water to swim for the island below, and
making his way as fast as he could
to the steamer Hiawatha, with AL Hol-
strom, the engineer, rowed out in a
skiff. By that time, however, the man
had disappeared and left no trace be-
hind him. .Is. =. =,

$1,000 annually.
The advocates of rate-making lcgisla-

that they contended for. save that the

Dispatch is concerned, however, 1t has
always held that such n provision is wise
