NEW BRIDGE
Work on Mill Street Bridge May Be
Delayed BY Gas Company

The work of construction OF the
bridge crossing the Walloomsac on
Upper Mill street is already well
started. The bridge in the cost of
the construction of which the town
and village of Bennington and the
Bennington and Hoosac Valley rail-
road whose tracks will cross ii. will
share, is something OF an undertake
ing
The bridge in width will be the full
breadth OF the highway or 49Is feet.
Its average span will be 80 feet. The
material of construction will be Gem
ent and two mile ~ beams. The de-
sign of the bridge is by the United
Bridge company of Albany. In the
first design, special plans for the gas
main which there crosses the river,
were made, the extra cost OF con-
struction being SIS, which was assess
ed on the Bennington Gas Light com
pany.
Upon the Gas Company's refusal to
pay, that part OF the design provid.
ing for the gas pipes was taken out.
even though II provided for special
hangers
lnasmuch as the bridge will take
up the full width of the highway. the
Gas company will be forced to place
its pipe upon private property or TO

The actual work OF the bridges con-
struction cannot go on until the
question Is decided.
The sidewalks on the bridge will
be Of cement and the road macadam

BENNINGTON LOST
GAME BY SCORE
OF Q TO I
Marble City Won Game on its
Home Grounds Yesterday
BOTH MINES BAT HARD
Home Team had Numerous Errors
But It Hit the Ball at the Right
Time

Following is the Rutland Herald's
account of the game played in the
Marble City yesterday by the Ben
nington base ball team and the home
nine:
Rutland won from Bennington in
the baseball game here yesterday by
a score of to 7. 1t was a running
fight all the way, with plenty Of hit
ting. The spectators waxed more en-
thusiastic than in any other recent
game. There was scoring all through
the game. Some of it was quite I'M
necessary, owing to slow fielding
and two or three times the Rutland
men didn't know what to do with the
ball. The base running on both sides
was, on the whole, rather poor. Null
cahy furnished a feature when he
stood on his head one time when he
stole second and went through few
gyrations before recovering from his
contact with the base.
Rutland had seven errors on the
record but every one Of the nine
runs was earned. Wilcox failed to
cover first two or three times when
Cox was after the ball and Whipple
hestitated about going after the fouls.
Tierno fielded his position in big
league style. He got in a hit in time
" fashion and Eagan did the same.
Nearly everybody got hit on both
teams and some got two or three.
Mitchell was taken out of the box
in the fifth and Bosk, the man who
was put in to save the game for Ben
nington two weeks ago, relieved him.
King muffed a fly out in right field
but that was the only error made by
Bennington.
The scoring started in the first A
fly out in center field was scored a
hit, McAllister evidently leaving the
bali for Tierno who wasn't playing
two positions at once. Flynn made a
bad throw home which let two OF
Bennington's runners score But
Flynn more than made up for II aft
erwards. when he used the stick TO
good advantage. Rutland had a cou-
pie of merry-go-rounds in the fourth
and the sixth and Bennington got
things started her way again in the
seventh Wilcox had a bad seventh,
but pitched like a Trojan before and
after.
Hayden. Bennington's new catcher,
formerly with Rutland, put up a
great game on the receiving end. He
gobbled up the fouls in fine shape.

of the rioters were shot. Ii is report

and hurried away by friends.
The employees of the plant struck a
month ago for an advance in wages.
The men killed were Lithuanians
and were not readily identified. Sew
eral policemen were struck and pain
fully hurt by the bricks thrown from
roofs. Four men suffering from seri-
GUS gunshot wounds were taken to
the Eastern District hospital.
The entire neighborhood became in
volyed in the distm bance, and the re-
serves from nine precincts had more

trouble. 1t appeared from the ac-

did not fire into the crowd until fore

making trouble for some time, but as

DR.. CRIPPEN'S LIFE LITERALLY
HANGS BY IDENTIFICATION OF
A STRAND OF HAIR FOUND
NEAR DEAD BODY.
(Herald Special. }

London, Sept 14.-Dr. H. H. Grip
pens life today literally hangs by a
hair. Under the merciless cross-exam-
ination by Attorney Newton of the
defense, Dr. Pepper, the government
analyst, practically repudiated his
former testimony and admitted that
it was impossible to determine the
sex of the body found in Crippen's
home and supposed to be Belle FL
more, from an anatomical study of it.
rs not this the only way to deter
mine the sex with certainty" thun-
dered Newton.
YES" answered DR.. Pepper.
Newton then forced Pepper to say
that he agreed with Dr. Marshall, the
other government expert, that an
anatomical examination failed to re-
veal the sex of the body.
The sensational turn of the testi-
mony is regarded as indicating the
collapse of the prosecution. DR.. Pep
per's admission leaves the identity of
the body dependent upon the identi-
fication of strand of hair found
near the remains.
