COLLAPSE OF BRIDGE,
OF the 81 Men at Work Only IA
Escaped With Their Lives.

Buffalo's Mckinley Monument----Four
Deaths In Auto Wreok-15 Killed In
Trolley colIlsIon-Death Of Richard
Mansfield-Erle Dividends Deferred
10 Years.
A section of the new bridge across
the st. Lawrence river five miles be-
low Quebec collapsed Thursday, car
rying scores of bridgeworkers and
mechanics into the water 1t Is es-
timated that the loss of life is at least
Is and may exceed that number.
The bridge was about mile and
a half In length and half Of 1t, from
the south shore to midstream, crum-
pied up and dropped into the water.
Ninety men were at work on this
section of the structure and the whis-
tie had just blown at $3.50 for the men
to quit work for the day when there
came a. grinding sound from the
bridge "a midstream.
The men made a rush shoreward,
but the distance was too great for
them to escape. The fallen section
of the bridge dragged others with 1t,
the swapping girders and cables boom
ing like a crash of artillery. Terror
lent fleetness to the feet Of the fright
ened workmen as they sped shoreward,
but only few of them reached safe
ty before the last piece of ironwork
on the south shore was dragged into
the river.
Near the shore the wreckage Of the
bridge did not go below the surface
of the water and eight workmen who
remained above water were rescued
and taken to the hospital at Lewis.
The steamer Glenmonthadj just clear
ed the bridge when the first section
fell The water thrown up by the de-
bris came clear over the bridge of the
steamer. The captain at once lower
ed boats. The small boats piled back
ward and forward over the sunken
wreckage for half an hour but there
was no sign Of life The twisted iron
and steel held its victims in terrible
deathgrip.
All the men drowned were employees
OF the Phoenix Bridge company OF
Phoenixville, Pa. and sub-contractors
of Montreal and Quebec.
Work on the Quebec bridge was be-
gun about seven years ago and 1t was
to be finished by 1909. Subsidies for
the work had been granted by the fed
eral and provincial governments and
the city of Quebec. The estimated
cost of the work was $10,0O0,OO0.
The Quebec bridge was remarkable,
being the longest single-span cantilever
bridge in the world, the length of the
span in the center being 1,S00 feet, or
200 feet longer than that of the Firth
of Forth bridge, at present the worlds
longest single bridge span.
There has been no bridge across the
St Lawrence below Montreal. At
Quebec all traffic was ferried across
the river. This expense being held re-
sponsible for the failure of Quebec to
grow, a number of the citys leading
citizens secured charter from the
Dominion government to bridge the
st. Lawrence. A subsidy of $1,000,00
was secured from the Dominion and
another of sS5O,OOO from the govern
ment of the province of Quebec, while
the city of Quebec gave grant of
100000. The promoters put up
s6500O0. and the Dominion govern
ment guaranteed their bonds up to
$1,000, 900

ANDREW JOHNSON MUST HANG.
Murderer Of Night Marshal Frlsble
at Lamar Convicted.

Lamar, Colo.-To be hanged by the
neck until dead is the fate of Andrew
johnson, convicted of the murder of
Night Marshal j. H, Frisbie at Lamar.
'Ihe Jury filed into the court room and
announced that u verdict had been
agreed on. The defendant, cool and
indifferent, sat by his counsel and eyed
the jury closely as the members an
swered to the call of their Names
When the clerk read the verdict,
handed in by Foreman Il. p. Thurston,
we, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first de.
gree, and fix the penalty at DEATH"
Johnson's swarthy face paled slightly
but he gave no other evidence of feel
Ing. After Judge Thorne, his counsel.
had moved for a rehearing. Judge Hun
ter ordered the prisoner to stand up.
and asked him If he had anything to
say. Nothing at ALL" was the response
Of johnson.
judge Hunter then passed sentence
on Johnson, ordering that he be
hanged during the week beginning Au-
gust 10th. At the conclusion of the
judges words Johnson said: Thank
you.' and sat down, the coolest man
in the entire court room. Judge Hun
ter, court officials and the spectators,
were deeply moved by the proceed
ings, but Johnson's eyes remained
dry. A few moments later the pris
oner was laughing and joking with the
deputies who had him In charge.
The jury was a unit In pronouncing
johnson guilty and the only difference
that arose in their deliberations was
regarding the punishment to be fixed.
Sherifl Thomas and Under Sheriff
Lynch left tonight for Canon City to
deliver Johnson to the warden of the
penitentiary.
Marshal ]. Horace Frisbie, for
whose murder Johnson was convicted,
was killed on the night of December
2Gth last. He had been shadowing
two suspicious characters and came up
with them at the east corner of the
Union hotel. A few words ensued be-
tween the parties. when suddenly a
shot rang out and the marshal dropped
to the ground, shot through the heart.
The murderer started northward to an
alley, with Sheriff Thomas. who had
been attracted by the shooting, in
close pursuit. A pistol duel between
the sheriff and the fugitives ensued.
but they made their escape In the
darkness.
The following day they were trailed
across the country toward the Missouri
Pacific railroad. A few days later a
posse from Kiowa county came up
with the men just across the line in
Kansas and finally Johnson was cap
tured

Everybody looked at him with
amazement respect and awe. How
strong willed he must be, they said:
how ascetic. how splritual 1t was tre-
mendous.
And yet" said pale vegetarian,
''all women, or at least 80 per cent Of
them, maintain this. wonderful absti-
hence their whole life long. Why
don't you praise them for it?"
With his medlcated handkerchief
he brushed the sneer from his lips.
I'VE men," he said, beside women
are hogs We call our women silly:
we won't give them the vote; but the
average woman lives on higher
plane than the average man. She
thinks of nobler things than money
grubbing, drink, tobacco, food.
Did you ever hear your wife
growl about the cooking? Did you
ever hear OF woman epicure? No:
woman is above the hoglike pleasures
of the table. She is above such a
tobacco and whisky seance as is now
going on here

Fuontes Had a Straight Tip.

That American actors are not the only stage heroes is proven by the following anecdote of the recent earth quake in Mexico City: Luckily the principal theater was empty, the play goers and players were gone, when the shock came. Not so at the Arbeu. There the performance was in full blast The lights in the theater went out. For a moment there was silence. Then was felt the shock. Panic-strick- en cries went up from all portions of the house.
 The situation was critical. In case the audience attempted to leave the house hundreds would be killed in the melee. Fuentes, the leading actor, was equal to the emergency. With re- markable promptitude and self-posses- sion he advanced to the front of the stage and while the building was rock ing, assured the audience that the shock would soon be over and that there was not the slightest danger. Just where Fuentes got the tip that the thing wouldn't last long and would not be violent he did not divulge, but the audience voted him trump and kept it's seats till the thing was over
