FLORENCE BRIDGE
 ID BE IMPROVED.
Delay in Construction Work EndS-NeW Materials
 Arrive

Florence, September 11.-6special ) Materials which were delayed on ac- count of the railroad strike have been received and work of reconstructing the Florence bridge over the Ten hessee river has been resumed. The bridge will be closed to traffic dur ing the night while construction work is going on.
 The contractor who is building the concrete highway from the south sidA of the bridge, through Sheffield to Tuscumhia. the county seat of Col bert county, has announced that he IS also in receipt of needed ma terials and resumed operations With a large force of workmen Monday morning
 Every effort Is being made to com plete work on the bridge and on the highway before bad weather sets in this fall.
 When this work Is done the tri- cities of Alabama will be connected with one of the most modern high ways in the south. There Is at pres ent an asphalt boulevard so feet wide from Seven Points," north of Flor ence, through the main portion of the city to the Tennessee river bridge. The concrete highway will connect with it and extend from the river to Tuscumbia.
 The tri-eities highway will be the realization of plans of citizens of the three towns who have for years worked for closer relationship in a business and social way.
 The Tennessee river bridge has al ways been a barrier to the "one big city idea" as 1t is owned by the Southern railway and travellers we're required to pay toll. With the com pletion of reflooring the bridge and work on the new highway this un- pleasant situation will be removed as Lauderdale and Colbert county officials have agreed to pay rental to the railroad company in order to maintain a free bridge.

He also said he was glad that I had cabled nothing about GlendeninB. Then I told him that Harry had come out of his delirium. Consequently there would be no danger of his speaking Margaret's name when he should not.

DECREASE SHOWN
 IN MINE DEATHS.
917 Men Killed by Accidents in Coal Mines During
 the Year
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald. ENn nuv1deOt, RrfIIfnR

500 Davidson Building.
 Washington. September 11.-(Spe- cial.)-During the first seven months of the present year s17 men have been killed by accidents at coal mines in the United States, as com pared with 1,16s accidental deaths at such mines during the corresponding period last year, states the federal bureau of mines. The figures for 1922 represent a decrease of PAS fa- talities. or 21 per cent. from the 1921 figures. The production of coal In the first seven months of 1929 amounted to 226.202. 1000 tons. de- crease of approximately 19 per cent from the figures for the same period last year, 279. .S69 900 tons.
 The fatality rates for the two seven month periods were 4.16 last year and 4.05 for 1929 per million tons. For bitumincus mines alone the corresponding rates were S.69 per million tons In 1922 as compared with 3.73 per million tons in 1921.
 With two exceptiones, all of the main causes of accidents during 1922 compare favorably with the seven- month record last year and with the entire year 1921. The largest reduc- ton Is In accidents from explosives. The rate from haulage accidents Is about the same as for the first seven months of 1921, but 1t is about 14 per cent higher than the average for the whole year 1921. Gas and dust explosions have resulted In fatality rate more than double that for the year 1921 or for the first seven months last year.
 Mines Closed
 Coal mine fatalities during July, 1922 numbersed "A, as compared with 1892 in July last year. according to reports received by the bureau of mines from state mine inspectors. The reduction was due primarily to the fact that most of the mines throughout the country were closed on account of the miners strike. This situation caused the output Of coal to decline from 37.693,000 tons in July last year to 17.151,000 tons in July, 1922, reduction of about 54 per cent. The fatality rate was 4.31 per million tons of coal produced, almost identical with the rate for July last year, 4.3o. For bituminous mines alone, the July rate this year was 4.05, as against 3.72 for July year ago.
 During the past nine years C913- 1921) the month of July has aver aged 203 fatalities, with an average production of 4s,446,000 tons, repre- senting fatality rate of 4.l9.
 There was no single accident at coal mines in July that caused as many as five fatalities
