would be accepted by them as an en-

Fair weather prevailed and this
was expected to cause a big vote,
equally desired by both sides.
The state officers are now Demo-
cratic and the party has now one
United States senator and one of the
four congressman.
In 1914 the Progressives cast 49,

COLLAPSE OF BRIDGE
is QUITE APPALLING

QUEBEC, Sept. 1.-THE new cen.
trail span OF the Quebec bridge, the
largest cantllever suspension in the
world, collapsed and fell into the St
Lawrence river while being hoisted
Into place Monday with a probable
loss Of life. Observers on shore saw
numbers of workmen struggling in
the water.
The bridge was being constructed
at a cost of S17.000.000 in order to
shorten the railway distance from
Halifax to the Canadian northwest
by 200 miles.
The bridge stands on the site OF
the structure which collapsed on
August %. 1907. with a loss OF
twenty-seyen lives.
The central span, which fell Mon
day, weighs more than 5000 tons
and was $40 feet long.
The collapse occurred when the
span was about fifteen feet in the
air. Early Indications were that the
loss Of life would be heavy for there
were ninety men on the structure
when 1t fell. Some of these have
been rescued.
Boats from among the hundreds OF
craft, on which spectators had gath
cred, were rushed to the spot where
the span disappeared. The fallen
structure sank 200 feet to the bottom
of the river and engineers who wit
messed the collapse expressed doubts
as to whether it would ever be
brought up again.
Observers said that the span broke

All of the garments are cut out at
the local plant, $500 suits are finished
here weekly. The three plants turn
out $500 suits weekly. In the three
plants about l7S persons are en-
ployed and 100 of these are working
in the Shippensburg factory. Business
has taken a decided brace in the past
year and now the company is work
ing at its greatest capacity.
Shippensburg has but one iron in
dustry and that is controlled by the
Domestic Engine and Pump Company
The concern manufacturers gasoline
engines for pumping and hosting and
for general farm work. Eleven years
ago the business was founded and a
dozen men were given employment
During those years the business grew
and from time to time the working
force was increased until now there
are $50 men on the payroll The
company's products are well-known
among users of gasoline engines and
they have become noted for the eX-
cellent results they have given. The
company ships to all parts of the
country, having representatives in
cities and towns in every State in the
Union.
Another important industry in
Shippensburg is that of the manu-
facture of diningroom furniture. Two
big plants take care of this business
and ship the pieces all over the United
States. The Peerless Furniture COM
pany, of which A. E. Book is presi-
dent, is one of the biggest concerns of
its kind in the State and on an aver
age 1000 diningroom extension tables
are made monthly. One hundred men
are given employment in the factory
which has been in operation five
years. Two years ago the company
erected a big addition to the plant to
take care of the business. Extension
tables are made of oak and mahogany
in various finishes.
The other furniture industry is con-
Quoted by Boher e Phillips and
buffets, china closets. serving tables
and extension tables are made. The
plant employs about so men and some
of the articles which they produce
are sold in stores in Harrisburg. The
furniture is given many different
finishes and produced in sixty styles.
Years ago Mr.. Boher operated a
furniture factory and Mr.. Phillips
manufactured beds. The Boher plant
was destroyed by fire and then the
two men Joined hands and established
the Boher & Phillips Furniture Com
pany.
Shippensburg is we'll located for
industries as it's railroad facilities are
among the best in the State. Three
roads, the Cumberland Valley, Phila-
delphia & Reading, and Western
