New Pier for Aqueduct Bridge.

The work of excavating and building
the cofferdam frame about the pier of the
Aqueduct bridge is about completed and
yesterday the pile driving machine Of
Carter & Clark. which had been working
on the Eastern branch. was taken to the
bridge and the driving of the sheet piling
in the cofferdam was started. This sheet
piling Is driven close together and is
made as water tight as possible SO that
the workmen can go down to the bottom
of the river and build the stone pier up
from the pile foundation.
i large steam pump will keep the cof-
ferdam free of water while the men are at
work for water will work its way into
the dam under the sheet piling and
through crevices, and to keep it tree
the pump has to be kept steadily at work.
Within the next ten days or two weeks
it is thought that the men will be able
TO go down in the cOfferdam and the
foundations for the stone pier will be
placed in position. The pier to be rebuilt
is on the Virginia side of the Aqueduct
bridge and has been giving trouble for
number of years.

Skull CRUSHED
With BAYONET
Deed Charged to Kentucky
Soldier Returning From
Jamestown.

John Arnold, bridge carpenter, en-
ployed by the L. II. and st. l.. rail-
road company lies at his home at Sam
pie in a serious condition as a result
of being struck on his head by a bay
onet Thursday while standing on a
trestle near Brandenburg, watching the
train carrying the soldiers of the
Third Kentucky regiment to their
homes from the jamestown EXPOSE
ton.
II is alleged that soldier leaned
out of the train window and with his
bayonet delivered a hard blow on Ar
nold's head. Arnold was repairing the
bridge and he moved aside to one of
the safety platforms to let the train
pass. There was another workman
with him and had IT not been for him
Arnold would have fallen from me
trestle after he WAS hit.
Arnold was put on the train and
removed TO his home at Sample. A
physician was summoned and it was
found necessary to remove several
pieces of shattered bone from mis-
skull. Arnold's recovery is doubtful.
On the special train were companies
from Greensboro, Henderson, Central
City and Madisonvlle. None of the
members of Company c, the local
company, know anything about the
injury to the man. There is much
Indignation over the affair and il is
understood that the matter will be
fully investigated by the railroad COM

most demolished this morning by dy-
Mantle which had been hidden in the

plosions and the interior mechanism
of the thresher was unfit for fur
Their use.
Two negroes who were working

mated population for the continental
United States for 1906 is given as
S3,941,510 and the continent and
insular possessions including Alaska
the enormous figure of 1882, 240.
There has been a general increase in
density of population from 26 to the

of the cities has increased much more
rapidly than that of the country. The
general increase of population since
1900 was only SO per cent. but the in
crease of the urban population name

1873 per cent. And this increase was
still more marked in the large cities,
