Brttons on the Somme Front Make
New Gains In Thrilling Assaults
O. Aided by the New Guns.

With the British Army in France,
Sept. 10.-Via London, Sept 1.-THE
battle for the ridge between Thiepal
and Ginchy redoubled in furry yester-
day afternoon when the British sue
cessfully stormed the right basuon.
German trenches were destroyed
over four-mile stretch and their gar
risons took refuge In she'll holes and
the fortified cellars Of the village of
Ginchy. The British troops left their
trenches about 4:S0 p. m. The main
attack against Ginchy was entrusted
chiefly to the Irish. The German for
tif1cations consisted Of cellars fitted
with ingenious loopholes for rifles and
machine guns and mud fort In the
center of farm which bristled with
machine guns.
The fighting was resperate but the
Irish carried through their first attack
in eight minutes. After half an hours
pause they again dashed to the assault
and in ten minutes had established
themselves in positions north Of the
village. .... -
The right wing advanced more SLOW
ly east Of Ginchy and the fighting
continued all night. The German ma
chine gun defenses were finally smash
ed by British shells.
On the rest Of the battle front the
Germans made good their defense in
High wood, but lost ground and prison
ers both east and west Of It. The
total number Of German prisoners
taken so far In this lighting is about
400, most Of whom are Bavar1ans.
The Germans fought hard to hold their
last position on the ridge, but the
weight of the British howitzer flre
and the impetuousness of the attack
were resistible.

SPAN Of HUGE BRIDGE
FALLS into THE RIVER
Many Workmen Are Known to Have
Perished; Crowds Of Spectators
Rush Launches to the Rescue.

Quebec, Que, Sept. 1.-THE span
Of the worlds greatest bridge collap-
sed and fell into the st. Lawrence riv.
er today with loss of life variously
estimated. The company erecting the
structure placed the number of deaths
at upwards Of twenty-five, but H. P
Borden, member of the Quebec
bridge commission, expressed the opin
lon that only three persons were lost
Several hours after the accident hap
pened at 1880 o'clock special train

an engineering feat designed to com
plete the $17,000,0O0 cantilever sus
pension for transcontinental railway
traffic, plunged distance Of fifteen
feet into the water and sank 200 feet
perhaps never to be recovered.
Contradictory stories were told re-
garding the collapse. The pontoons
had been removed and the span was
being lifted by massive hydraulic
Jacks when, according to some of the
spectators, the northern end of the
span fell with the breaking Of girders
Frantic efforts were made to place a
chain rope around the tottering struc
ture but, with reports hike shells ex
ploding, the remaining supports snap
ped and the span disappeared with a
tremendous splash. Some observers
said the structure buckled at the cen.
ter as It fell.
Groups Of men at work slipped OF
into the water and others were knock
ed into space by flying debris. Scores
Of craft containing spectators went to
the rescue and their endeavors pre-
vented larger loss of life.

Z sTIN uU SHE VISITORS

Ocala, Nov. II. Governor Tram
NELL, Treasurer Luning and Commits
sioner McRae were in Ocala yester-
day and again inspected the proper
ty on which is to be erected the in
dustrial school for girls. The reason
the building has not been done be-
fore is because the money in the
State treasury has been exhausted
and to erect the building and pay for
it in State script, as in former days
it was feared that it would depreci-
ate the States credit. Arrangement
will be made for the erection of the
building just as soon as the legisla
ture meets.
These gentlemen say that when
the plans for the building are agreed
upon they want it to be building
that will meet all the requirements
that such building demands and
that it will be modern in all respects.
The governor and the two men,
bers of his cabinet are in fine spirits
and say that things at the capital
are rapidly settling down to new con-
ditions, and the election with it's va
rious phases is being rapidly forgot
