NEW BRIDGE
OVER COLUMBIA
~ CONNECT RIPARIA-PASCO LINE
WITH NORTH BANK. MAY ALSO
BE USED BY MILWAUKEE


BE USED BY MILWAUKEE,
A new railroad bridge will be
bnilt across the Columbia just above
the mouth of Snake river or from
Ainsworth across into the famous
Kennewick valley. Such is the in
side information now becoming
public since the surveyors began
their work at the location described
above.
Engineer Oakes and party have
been at work for several DAYS con,
Meeting the surveys Of the Riparia-
Pasco extension with the grade line
of the Portland & Seattle Ry.
commonly called the North Bank
road. Soundings have been made
and the character of the river bed
ascertained and found suitable for
foundations for the piers.
1t seems to have been decided
that the present bridge will not be
enough TO handle the business of
the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern and give them the prompt
crossing and permit the rate of
speed they desire on their new line.
BY crossing at Aiusworth they save
several miles in distauce and avoid
several curves. The new line from
Spokane is the most direct and in
going into the Portland & Seattle
Oh long tangent all short curves
will be avoided. The new short
line will handle the through pass
engsr traffic and the Hill lines are
out after government mail contracts
which are fat thing for a trans
continental lire, but decided by
speed and shcrtness of route.
Should the Milwaukee desire TO
use this bridge in common with the
Hill lines for crossing point, it is
hinted that they will be permi ted
to do so by sharing the cost of con
struction.
James J. Hill announced that the
North Bank road would be the best
Constructed line in the northwes st
and the line from Spokane connect
ing with it will equal it in all such
particulars as easy grades and good
road bed.
Wren & Greenough have recent
ly gone over tie line from Pasco to
Riparia and are making arrange
ments to get in supplies and gangs
of men to take up the new con-
tract on that line. Careg hiram &
Winters who have the contract
above them are already at work.
Railroad work will continue with
uuabated for some time yet.

St. Petersburg, May 14.-Vice Ad-
miral Kuzmich, commander Of the
port, who was very unpopular, with
the workmen, was assassinated here
today by the workmen whose May day
demonstration he had attempted to
stop. The admiral was killed at the
Admiralty Works, a government insti-
tuition where most Of the 1000 men
employed there reported for duty at
5 o'clock this morning. They wanted
to march out in body to celebrate the
Russian May day, but finally agreed
to work until o'clock. The admiral,
however, said he could not agree to
their leaving at 2, and the matter was
left open. About $3.50 O'Clock, as the
admiral was emerging from one of the
shops a man jumped from the corner
of the building and drove a large dag
ger into his back. The admiral imme-
diately fell dead, and the assassin
mixed with other workmen and could
not be found. The police believe the
assassination was planned in advance

where regular troops will be in camp
and to spend two weeks in a joint en-
campment. Since issuing the circular,
however, the advisability of doing
away with the territorial encampment
has been considered and will probably
be ordered. 1t is believed that, if
both encampments are held, the New
Mexico National Guard will be away
from home for three weeks and in the
majority of cases this will deter many
from taking part. This, being the
case, it is thought better to have the

which has been positively identified
as that of Father Gopon, hanging in

for over a month. Becoming alarmed
at the continued absence of her ten.
ant the proprietress of the villa notified
the police, who yesterday broke down
the doors and discovered the body. AS
the body was badly decomposed, the
features were of course unrecogniz,

were decisive and the identity was
completely established. There were
no marks of strangulation on the body
and it is believed he was killed else

night of April 10th. This agrees with
the date of the execution of Gopon as
given by the secret service officers
and as announced in former messages.

SPANS OF BRIDGE
WASHED AWAY
Farmers in Rio Grande Fear Serious
OverfloW-River Very
High.

The manner in which the Rio Gran
de is rising is causing a great deal OF
apprehension among the people living
in the valley along its course. News
has been received from Los Lunas to
the effect that three big spans of the
wagon bridge from Los Lunas to Per
alta have been washed out. The spans
were on the west side and near those
washed out last year The farmers liv-
ing in that vicinity were further In
convenienced by the washing out of a
telephone line, but communication was
re-establshed after a great deal of
work.
The river is high and rising, but it
is two feet lower than it was this time
last year, and as dykes have been con.
structed since that time to take care
of stage foot higher than the high
est point reached last year, small dam
age is anticipated at Los Lunas, Per
alta or Tome, unless the river should
break all records.

Schurz was 76 years of age having

Schurz first became prominent while

when the Civil War broke out he was
appointed brigadier gener-
al. Schurz was more noted along the
lines of peace, however, and nothing Of
note was heard from him during the
army days. Since the Civil War, his
time has been devoted to politics and
writings. He founded the
Detroit Post, leaving later to become
the editor of the st. Louis Westliche
Post. He was the author OF several
extensive works, including the life Of
Henry Clay, and the life OF Abraham
Lincoln. From 1877 to 1881 during

LABORERS ON SEWER
SYSTEM STRIKE
Seventeen Employed BY Kennedy &
Davis Want Shorter
Hours.

Demanding an eight instead OF a
nine hour day, seventeen men, en-
ployed by Kennedy & Davis, contrac-
tors, on the sewer being constructed
by them for the City Board of Educa-
tion, went on a strike this forenoon,
and late this afternoon had not
reached any final agreement with their
employers.
Last Saturday the contractors EN-
ployed man, who had previously
been working shorter hours and receiv-
ing better wages and they arc OF the
opinion that it was he who agitated
the strike. Up to that time the men
seemed to be satisfied and no previous
trouble had been experienced. Kenne-
dy & Davis pay their laborers S1.25
per day for nine hours work, and Mr..
Kennedy said this afternoon that he
would neither increase their pay nor
shorten the hours. According to his
statement, his men are not worked as
hard as they are on other contracts
about the city and he considers their
pay sufficient.
Kennedy e Davis are of the opinion
that the men will return to work un-
der the old scale, but in. case they
do not, Mr.. Kennedy says they will
employ convict labor to complete the
work. The latter he does not wish to
do, as he prefers to retain his former
employees, who are in such circum-
stances that they need employment.

Bridgeport, Conn, May 14.-Four

at an early hour this morning, the
conclusion shaking the city and caus
ing a general alarm among many per
sons, who thought the explosion was

fell to the floor, but no serious dam
age was reported. So far as Is known
no one was harmed by the explosion
Four magazines which exploded con
tanned 25,00O pounds each. None of
the buildings of the Cartridge Com
pany were damaged and the four ada
cent magazines were unharmed. The
cause of the explosion is still unknown.
The full force of the explosion was
felt in the city proper and apparently
there is not single large pane of
glass left in the business buildings.
while as for private residences, few
escaped without broken windows. The
damage seems to be confined entirely
to broken glass, however, and the
Union Metallic Cartridge Company has
given notice that all property owners
will be compensated for damage of
this nature. Immediately after the
explosion the people of Bridgeport
seemed certain that an earthquake had
visited them and the scenes ON the
streets were quite exciting, for hun
dreds of residents rushed out on the
streets in their night clothes carrying
a few personal belongings. The nerves
of the people soon quieted when they
learned the cause of the disturbances.
