Bridge Collapses.

Between five and ten persons were
killed and fully fifty were injured
late yesterday afternoon when the
north span of the West Third Street
Bridge in Cleveland, Ohio collapsed

Many of the injured and some of the
dead were women. The cars were
crowded to capacity, as the accident

of Annandale, Fairfax county, it is ell
legged by Charles E. Linton and Ben
iamin Hunter was entrusted by them
with three cows which he was to dis

make settlement; ard subsequently
the owners of the bovines applied to
Harry White, Justice Of the Peace of

city were asked to keep a lookout
for the man, and the warrant having
been endorsed by the police justice
of this city his appearance in Alex

placed him under arrest. The three
cows were valued at S95.

NEW REVIVAL TO OPEN
Evangelist Stancill to Open Campaign
In Old First Presbyterian
Church Tomorrow Night

All the arrangements for the open
ing of another revival, under the
lead of R. w. Stancill, and backed by
the members of the Disciples Union
of the District of Columbia and Mary
land, in the Old First Presbyterian
Church, on south Fairfax street, to-
morrow night, at 8 o'clock, have been
completed.
Mr. Stancill has had very extern
sive experience of evangelistic work
throughout the middle-West and
South. He expects to continue the
meetings here until sufficient mem
bership has been acquired to justify
the formation of a permanent con-
gregatio1. He will be assisted by
prominent laylnen and preachers OF
his church in Washington.
The Christian Church, which is one
of the most rapidly growing denom-
nations, is especially strong in the
middle-West and has some twenty
five churches in the District of
Columbia and Maryland. Members OF
the denomination were first called
Campbellites after Alexander Camp
bell, their first leader. They are now
also known under the names OF Dis
ciples, Church of Christ and Chris
tians.
They extend the invitation at each
service and also celebrate Holy Com
munion at each Sunday morning
Church service. They believe in Bap-
tism and have form of church gov
ernment similar to that OF the Con-
gregational church.

MYSTERY IS SOLVED
identified as Mary F. swartz of Chi
cago by her brother-in-law
This Morning

Another sad chapter in human eA-
y. .perience was opened this morning
when John E. Swartz, Of Cnleago'
arrived here and identified the oooy
Of the dead woman who was drowned
i in the Potomac, near Mount Vernon,
about twelve days ago. Her name
Was Mary F. Swartz, and she was
The widow Of DR.. T. B. Swartz, a
former practising physician Of the
citv of Chicago, who died there in
February last.
Shortly after her husbands death,
Mrs swartz left Chicago and went
to Huntingdon, Long Island, to spend
the summer with her brother,D. j..
Fort. A few days previous to the
finding of her body in the river here
she had left Huntingdon. On the re-
turn trip to Chicago, it is believed,
that she stopped in Washington. Her
trunk was checked to that city, where
it still remained at the Union sta
tion until today; also she shipped a
package by express from that city
by the Wells Fargo company, the re-
ceipt for which was later found near
her person, by James Young, assis-
tant superintendent of the Mount
Vernon estate and led to to her
identity.
Her brother-in-law, John E.
Swartz, who came here to identify
her today, said that She had about one
hundred dollars with her when she
started from Huntingdon, but no
money Or anything of value was
found on her person when taken from
the water.
The deceased was about SO years
of age and was a lady of very high
character and well-educated, having
been superintendent of schools at
Elkhart, Indiana, previous to her
marriage. At the time of the Iriquois
theatre fire, some eleven years ago,
I'M Chicago, she lost two children and
a sister which together with the. re75s res,
cent death of her husband,sis thought
to have made her respondent; and it
is owing to that fact, her friends be-
lieve, that she committed suicide.
Her brother, D. j. Fort, was ex-
pected here today. Arrangements
will be made to take the body to
Chicago either today or tomorrow.

YOUNG MEMS S0DAL|TY
Concert and Speech-Making in Ly.
ceum Hall Largely Attend
ded Success

The Young Mems Sodality Lyceum
did themselves proud last night in
the celebration efstheir twenty-eighttsthl gtstl
anniversary in Lyceum Hall.
One of the features of a well
varied musical and oratorical program
was the address of the Rev. Father
l.. F. Kelly anent his tour of the
Holy Land two years ago. In tre-
mandously graphic manner Father
Kelly painted vivid word picture of
the Eastern country which is hallow-
ed in the thought of all christians.
A majority of those who provided
the musical entertainment of the
evening were local talent. All the
members were we'll rendered and gave
evidence that Alexandria has a
wealth of musical ability. Among
these numbers were: Pianoforte duet,
the Misses Cook; Violin and piano solo
Miss Winifred L. Bayne, violin and
Miss Pearl M. Harrington, piano,
piano solo, Miss Virginia Downey.
Miss Downey also accompanied the
vocal soloist, Thomas Cantwell, of
Washington.
Miss Mary Lennon and Miss Emma
Hubbard very artistically rendered
two recitations.
Other speakers were Claude M.
Lennon, who presided over the meet
ing; Thomas E. Dyson, president OF
the Lyceum, and the Rev. Father
Louis Smet, rector of St. Mary's
Church. Father Smet, who delivered
the closing address, touched upon
the proposed enlargement and i'm
provement of the Lyceum Hall, which
will be accomplished in the near fu-
ture, and will provide additional faci-
lities for staging and extra seating.
In this connection, it was announced
that plans are under way for the for
nation of Dramatic Club which
will be under the direction of Mr..
John England.

ARM0R PLANT PLANS
Committee to be Heard by Secre'
tary Daniels on Last Day of
Hearings, October 10.

1t is announced that owing to the
large number of cities which are now
seeking .se- obtaia~etbe aGoHernzasntt
Armor Plant the decision of Secre-
tary Daniels and his associates will
not be made for several months yet.
Among those who are in a position
to know however, Alexandria is reck-
oned among the first three which
have a chance at all.
Secretary Daniels will return from
the West late this week and the hear
ing to be accorded by him to the
Aleyandrians on Tuesday morning
next, will be the last he will give or
this subject.
1t was at first thought that none
other than the Alexandrians would be
heard on this day, but it is now stat
ed that this will be sort of clean
up' day for all the new claims.
The local committees are all hard
at work and will have a striking
and convincing array of data to pres
ent when Congressman Carlin in
troduces their members to Mr.. Dan
iels.
A meeting of the general commit
tee will be held in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce on Friday af-
ternoon, at four o'clock.
