death was due to an accident. Her
friends say lightning always terri
hed her greatly, and that she prob
ably became nervous and alarmed on
account of a fierce storm that was
raging at the time, so that, leaving
the buggy in unreasoning' fear, she
ran toward the lake and fell in.
Whatever the manner of the young
woman's death, the account of her
cousin renders the case particularly
unusual, because he asserts he was
gone from her side less than FIVE
minutes. When he returned from
the cottage to find that she was gone
he at once alarmed the neighborhood.
Within stones throw there, were
some 20 campers living, and search
ing parties were started out imme-
diately, but despite their quick
work no clue to the pretty school
teachers whereabouts appeared.
Miss Mcguire and her cousin, who
lives at Dover, had driven to a camp
at the lake and were preparing to
return home where she was visiting
when the storm broke. Mcguire ran
into the cottage to get a suit case,
and when he returned the girl was
gone.
The drowning theory is discredit-
ed by several, however. 1t was
pointed out by one expert swimmer
that the. water along the banks was
scarcely deep enough for a person to
drown in accidentally.

Dover, N. j. Especially In the
body of Miss Agnes Mcguire, a pret-

The death of the young woman is
attended with peculiar circumstances,

are bewildered in their effort to solve
the case. Of the many theories pre-

detectives of man, who, it is said,

from drowning IN the st. Lawrence
River. Those who we're not stunned
by the terrible tumble from the sup

ers which we're carried to the river
bottom, and we're thus saved from
drowning.
All the men drowned were en-

At 10 o'clock P. M. 16 bodies had
been picked up, and of the eight men

The southern extension of the
bridge, which collapsed, was rapidly
nearing the zenith of the immense
seel arch which was to span the riv-

the massive steel structure reached
an arch with no support save the
piers from the shore and one pier in
the river. about $50 feet from the
shore, while the outward extremity
was $50 feet above the water
The end of the half arch bent
down a trifle, and a moment later
the whole enormous fabric began to
give way, slowly at first, then with
a terrific crash, which was plainly
heard in Quebec, and which shook
the whole countryside so that the
residents rushed out of their houses,
thinking that an earthquake occur
