MONTREAL. Aug. 30.-rhe Quebec
bridge was remarkable in that II was to
be the longest single span cantlever bridge
in the world, the length of the span in
the centre being 1870 feet. or 200 feet
longer than that OF the Firth bridge. at
present the worlds longest single bridge
spau.
There has been no bridge across the st.
Lawrence below Montreal. At Quebec cry
all traffic was ferried across the river.
This expense being held responsible for
the failure OF Quebec to grow a number
OF the city's leading citizens secured a
charter from the Dominion government
TO bridge the st. Lawrence. A subsidy
OF 81, 10000 was secured from the Domln-
ion and another of $3.50, 600 from the gov
eminent Of the Province of Quebec, while
the city OF Quebec gave n grant Of $780,
900. The promoters put up se50.OOO,
The contract was let for the erection Of
the stone work to n. p. Davis & Co. and
for the iron work to the Phoenix Iron
Company. Of Phoenixville Work was be-
gun in 1900. The original estimate Of the
cost was in the neighborhood OF So, 500, 900,
but this was speedily found to be too
small. The company finding itself in diff
hculties and the government needing the
bridge for Gle National Transcontinentol
Railway, an agreement was reached by
which the government agreed to guarantee
the bonds OF the company up 10 S7,000,000
Since then construction has been proceed
ing steadily.
The plans call for two approach spans
OF 220 feel each. two anchor spans Of
500 feet each. and a centre span OF 1SW
feet from centre TO centre Of the piers.
The under side Of the bridge was to be
158 feet above high water. When com
pieted Il was to nave accommodation
for a double track railway. two lines OF
electric tramways and two roadways for
foot and vehicle traffic.
At the time of the collapse the can

SOMMER DENIES
RUMORS OF
QUITTING
No Basis, Sheriff Asserts.
for Report in Circula-
ton in Trenton.

TRENTON. Aug. 30.-There was a
rumor about the State House here yes
terday to the effect that Sheriff Frank
Sommer. of Essex County, was about
ready to withdraw from h guberna-
torial race, in spite of the support that
he is receiving from Senator Everett
Colby and the New Idea leaders in
Essex County. The reason for his
withdrawal is said to be that he
cannot gain the support of the
New Idea forces in Hudson County,
where Justice Fort, the Regular Re-
publican gubernatorial aspirant, is
making much Roadway. Without the
support of Hudson County it would
be impossible for Sommer to make
much of a show in the State conven-
ticn.
Nothing definite concerning the
Sheriff's withdrawal can be learned
here. He had a long interview Tues
day with Governor Stokes. but at the
close neither of them would discuss the
situation.

Stories of Brahms.

Many stories are told Of how the com
poser Brahms treated pianists and
singers who were eager to get his crtti-
cism. If one of these aspirants for his
favor was fortunate enough to find him
at home and be received, Brahms first
concern was to seat himself on the lid
of his piano, a position from which he
rightly deemed few would have the te-
merity to oust him. If this failed, he
had recourse to the statement that the
instrument was out of tune. "Oh, that
does not matter" remarked one cour-
ageous individual. Perhaps not to you,
but 1t does to me-" replied the master.
On one occasion he was just leaving
his house when long haired youth,
with bundle of music under his arm,
