was q frightful accident in the
Loetschberg tunnel, in the Bernese
Alps. which resulted in the death of

The wall gave way with a crash and
a torrent of water and mud rushed
into the tunnel and filed it. Ali of
the workmen were drowned. They
were italians. Fortunately, owing to
the early hour, only comparatively
few men had entered the tunnel. The
disaster occurred (, 400 yards from the

above the tunnel The water now

Fifty Persons Injured.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 24.-An all
night search throughout Camp Hays,
where the 10000 men of the national
guard Of Pennsylvania have been in.
camp for week and which was Wis
tied by terrific electrical and wind
storm, shows that three soldiers were

Corporal c. Milton CARRIER, Company
c, Tenth regiment, Washington;
James A. Barbe, Company K, Tenth
regiment, Waynesburg, and Private

The dead were members of the Sec
ond brigade, composed of regiments
from the western part of the state,
most Of the storm damage occurring
ia the section of the field occupied by
that brigade.
The tent which Governor Stuart had
been occupying during the weeks en-
campment was blown down by the
terrific wind and the governor and
those who were his guests at the time
were buried under the canvas. With
the governor were Charles B. Mann of
the state railroad commission. Colonel
Good of the First regiment, Philadel-
phia, and Captain P. L. Weaver, for
merly of the First regiment. They
were all thrown to the ground by the
falling canvas, but managed to crawl
out into the open.

As to Quotations.

How many persons can unhesitating-
~ name the source of the familiar
quotations? Many man goes through,
life without reading a single play Of
Shakespeare, but probably no English
speaking man goes through life with
out quoting him. If he sneers at "a.
woman's reason" he quotes Shake
speare; If he refers to "a trick worth
two Of that" he quotes Shakespeare
again.
Goldsmith's .She Stoops to Conquer
Is not popular work, but one line Of
it-.Ask me no questions, and / will
tell you no lies"-is known and used by
everybody.

pleteS That Part of the
Work.
WORLDS RECORD MADE
Structure Expected to Be Open
for Business by Next

While river craft footed a welcome,
and thousands of flags whipped the sky
line along both shores, Mayor McClel-
Ian, standing alongside the huge hoist
ing engines on the Brooklyn anchorage,
this afternoon pulled the lever that sent
the last lap of 1900 miles of steel wire
sliding like great headless. tailless
snake over the S5O-foot towers of the
new Manhattan Bridge which is TO he
the fourth span connecting Manhattan
with its sister horoughs on the Long ISL
and side of East River.
This act of the Mayor signalled the
completion of the stringing of the wires
that go to make up the four twenty
one-inch cables that will suspend
cradle-wise. the main superstructure of
the largest bridge of its type that was
ever built.
With the Mayor on his perch. high
above the roofs of Brooklyn on one
hand and fronting the Ioftier sky
scrapers OK New York on the other,
were fifty invited guests, including city
officials, bridge contractors, bridge en-
gineers and newspaper men
As the serpent began to move over the
drums the two hundred and fifty work
men who had been given holiday
and who had been massed inside the
anchorage set up great cheering
There was lot of handshaking among

The Mayor expressed his qualification
at the rapidity with which the work of
construction had been pushed. and
Commissioner Stevenson. of the Bridge
Department announced that, barring
unforeseen delays, the work of attach
ing the stringers to the floating cables
would begin within seven weeks tim
He thought that, judging by the present
rate of progress. the superstructure of
the bridge would be completed within
u year from this date.
In speaking of the task already &C
cOmplsEed, lie said: The operation Of
stringlng the 1000 miles Of wire in these
cables has consumed Just four months
TO a day, and since the preliminary con-
struction Of the foot bridge working
platform II has been but six months.
