'she came to the tomb every day,

not too i'll to venture out, and all the

she would enter with her handful or

is killing her fast-she cannot stand

Mr.. Simpson said that at the GENE
terry Mrs. Mckinley would talk OF
nothing but her husband. "If any
other subject was preached she would
listen with an absent minded air, and
at the first possible opportunity recur
to the old theme. If, when speaking
with her on some other matter, you

the men noticed how she acted. She
often said that her only desire was

strength was not equal to the call

Mr.. Simpson says the monument
will cost $500 600. His company's con-
tract is something over 100000. More
than enough money has been sub
scribed for the great work, and it is
the purpose now to buy up and park

Almost Every Family Bereaved.
There is scarcely family in the
villages of Stromuld and New Liver

while in some cases five and six men
of single family have been killed
From almost every house is heard the

Quebec. Que, Aug. 31-Although "a
hours have elapsed since the Quebec
bridge crashed into the st. Lawrence
the three score of road bridge work

bottom of the river. A roll call held

early estimate of the loss of life
Seventy-nine men failed to answer to
their names and were not among the
injured at the Lewis hospital Fifteen
bodies lie at the morgue awaiting the

Bodies Visible Under Water.
Some of the bodies of the unfortu-
nate men can be seen below the sur
face of the water tightly wedged in
an inextricable network of steel
where it is utterly impossible to reach
them.
Although tugs, rowboats and RATS
were used throughout the day to pa
troll the water over the wrecked
bridge the result of all the work was
the recovery of only one body at low
tide last evening This victim was al
most cut in two and the body was
taken out in two parts. Another body
was located near the anchor pier and
an effort was made to remove it, but
it was found that the whole lower
part of the body was held in a grip of
steel that it was impossible to break
The body was found to be headless.
