strung between the towers of the new
Manhattan Bridge as a support for foot
bridge for cable weavers slipped from the
wooden clamp attached to the hoisting
engine at the base of the Brooklyn anchor

slack fell back into the water, from which
it had just been hoisted, and the Brooklyn
end, freed from the drum, thrashed about
Plymouth street and injured two men.
The friction as the released line shot out

When Chu Book donned his suit OF Amer

In which Chu was helping out as an inter-

He popped the question.
The little teacher almost frightened him,
she got 80 pink and her eyes grew 90 dark
Chu had never seen anything like that
before, but she must have made him under
stand. for the two are now somewhere
between here and San Francisco and a lot
OF Chus uncles and cousins and aunts are
waiting to welcome the bride.
Chu got the license on Monday. was
married that night in q parsonage In Brook
lyn, gave q supper to his friends In China
town and caught the train for the West
just as soon as Chinese courtesy would
admit. He intends to spend his honey
moon In San Francisco and when 1t gets
time to sort OF settle down to things he is
going to bring his wife back to his home
at 148 East 125th street, Manhattan.
In the meantime Mrs. Margaret Riley OF
1885 Fulton street. Brooklyn, is waiting to
hear from the couple, for most OF the wooing
outside OF the mission house-was done
in her home and the girl was given away
by Mrs. Riley's husband. The bride was
living with the Rileys when she was mar
ried. having known Mrs. Riley from child
hood and having gone to live with her
when her parents died several years ago.
Naturally Mrs Riley wants TO know whether
Chu will make as good husband as her
young friend deserves. She is very san
g,Iine as to the Chinaman, who, although
only s3 years old. Is prosperous restau-
rateur and decided Methodist.
