Steam Roller Goes
Through New Bridge

The youth who drove the heavy
roller on West End bridge last night
must have had a horseshoe IN his
pocket at the time. otherwise be would
undoubtedly have been plunged into
the deep ravine with the big roller.
AS It was a steel beam kept the big
machine and its driver from dropping
through the bridge last night. after
the roller had broken through the new
flooring on the bridge.
1t is not known whether the youth
was ordered to take the roller over
the bridge or not. but at any rate he
made the attempt. : When half way
across the roller went through the
concrete flooring and was saved from
going down into the ravtne by the
fact that a big beam held 1t up.
Fortunately little damage vas done
to the bridge. and 1t can be repaired
at a small cost.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
PARIS, oct. 3.-Absinthe is dying
hard i'm France. Artificial drinks re-
sembliug it i'm color and flavor are
obtained I'm spite Of the vigilance OF
the authorities. and it is even asserted
that stocks Of the real beverage on
hand at the date Of the prohibition,
and paid for by the government, are
finding their a to the consumer.
Numerous new decoctions ave also
been put on the market TO replace It.
The traffic is encouraged by an I'M
looked for resistance to a"nti-alcoholic
legislation i'm parliament.
The wineshOp plays in French poll
tics a role similar to that of the
American saloon, hence the reluc-
lance of the deputies to follow the
military authorities in the radical
measures they have taken and to
support the government in proposed
legislation f%orbidding the sale Of any
drink testing over Is degrees Of al
cohOl. The first open resistance was
in the form of an appeal to the state
council from the orders of military
commanders, prohibiting the sale OF
Intoxicating drinks in their regions.
They declared 1t was not In conform
ity with the laws of 1S49 governing
the working Of martial law. The
state council upheld the orders OF the
military commanders.
The next step originated in the
parliament itself, in the proposed
Limitation of martial law TO the zone
Of operations Of the armies. Pres
sure was brought to bear upon the
press and upon parliament by the
National Union Of Wholesale and Re-
tail Wine and Liquor dealers, who
threatened to withdraw advertise
ments from the newspapers, and po-
