( VoiCJEE gl MUPSE OF Of the 92 Men at Work Only 14 Escaped With Their Lives. Buffalo's McKinley Monument—Four Deaths in Auto Wreck—15 Kilted in i Trolley Collision—Death of Richard {Mansfield—Erie Dividends Deferred 10 Years. A section^ofjhs new—bridge across X ' —the-St,-I»awrenee river five miles be-' low Quebec collapsed Thursday, car- rying scores of bridgeworkers and mechanics into the water. It is es- timated that the loss of life is at least ,75 and may exceed that number. The bridge was about a mile and a half in length and half of itj from .the south shore to midstream,' crum- pled, up and dropped into the water. (Ninety men were at work; on this section \of the structure and the whis- tle had just blown at 6:30 for the men to quit work for the day when there came a grinding sound from the *ridge a* midstream. The men made a rush shoreward, but the distance was too great for them to escape. The fallen section of the bridge dragged others with it, the snapping girders and cables boom- ing like, a crash of artillery. Terror lent fleetness to the feet of the fright- ' ened workmen as; they sped shoreward, but only a few of them reached safe- ty before the last piece of ironwork .on the_joutb, shore was dragged into 'the river. . ' Near the Shore the wreckage^of the' ' bridge did not go below the surface of the water and- eight workmen who remained above-water were rescued and taken to the hospital at Levis. The steamerGlen.mbnthadjustcl»a,r- ed the bridge when ,rthe, first section Jfell. The water thrown up by the de- bris came clear over the bridge of the Bteamer. The captain at once lower- ed boats. The small boats plied back- ward and forward over the sunken wreckage for half an hour but there was no 'sign of life; The twisted iron and steel held its victims in a terrible deathgfip. All the men drowned were employes of the Phoenix Bridge' company of iPhoenixville, Pa., and sub-contractors of Montreal and Quebec. Work on the Quebec bridge was be gun about seven years ago and'if was to be finished by 1909. Subsidies for the work had been granted by the fed- eral and provincial governments and the city of Quebec, The -estimated, cost of the work was $10*000,000. The Quebec bridge was remarkable, feeing the longest single-span cantilever bridge in the world, the length of the ' span in the center being 1,800 feet, or 200 feet longer than that of the Firth of Forth bridge, at present the world's longest\ single bridge span. • There has been no bridge across the St. Lawrence below Montreal. At Quebec all trafBc was ferried across the river. This expense being held re- sponsible for the failure of Quebec jto grow, a number .of the city's leading citizens secured a charter from the Dominion government to. bridge the St, Lawrence. A subsidy of $1,000,000 .was secured from the Dominion and another of $360,000 from the govern- ment of the province of Quebec, while .the cily..of Quebec gave,a grant of $300,000. The promoters put up $660,000, and the Dominion govern- ment guaranteed their bonds up to $7,000,000. Dedication of McKinley Monument. Governor Charles B. Hughes_ will be Ithe guest of honor and the principal speaker at the ceremony of the dedi- cation of the McKinley statue at Buf- falo on Thursday of this week, while Harlan J . Swift, department command- er of the G. A.

Immediately before the square .is reached the ranks are to open and Governor Hughes, and party Will ride .through them to the stand which has been erected on the west side Of the monument. The troops will then be dismissed, allowing those whip desire to enter the ^square and ihingle with: the throng of'citizens gathered to wit- ness the ceremonies. Of these the chief features will be the presentation of the monument to the state by Mr.- Sutler, representing the commission, .the acceptance of it by Governor Hughes, the address of Judge Swift and the unveiling of the shaft by Mrs, Trueman; G.

A confusion of orders received over the telephone is said to have been the. cause of the accident. The cars approached each other at high speed and the impact was so terrific that the motor car and the trailer were telescoped by the trac- tion car. Few passengers had\ time to escape'by jumping. Most of the passengers were going to the Coles county fair at Charleston. The line on which the disaster hap- pened is 12 miles long, running be- tween -Mattcon nnor Charleston,\ HI., and has but a single track. Tele phones are placed every two miles fot orders to be transmitted to the car? passing over the road. Death'of Richard Mansfield. After fighting for months an illness which last spring foroed him to leave the stage and go abroad in_seareh of health, Richard Mansfield, one of the beBt known actors in this country, died at his summer home in New '•London, Conn.,, of disease of the liver, aggravated by complications. Last spring he was compelled to give up ijis .engagement at Scranton, Pa., after suffering a nervous break- down, and went to England in the hope that it would benefit him. A short time ago he returned Jo_ this country- and went \to Ampeersand, N.' Y., very recently coming to his sum- mer home at Seven Oaks, Ocean ave- nue, New London. He gradually failed, and in spite, of every effort to pro- long his life, it was evident to the members of his family and .attending physicians that he could not live'long. ISe became unconscious about 2 b'etoek and remained so until the time of \his' death at \6:30. Charges of Malfeasance. . Charges of malfeasance in office against D. B.

Columbus, Ohio, has received a mandate from the Supreme .court of the United States in the case of Reuben L. Martin, a rail- way mail clerk, versus the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railway, which the court has decided against Martin under the fellow servant law. This means that Martin gets nothing for the injuries which he received in a wreck on that railroad on June 24, 1901. He asked for $25,000. New Dairymen's League. Farmers from Sullivan, Ulster ,and Orange counties, N. Y., and Sussex county, N. J., met at Middletown, N.

Railroad Employes Opened Fire in Self-Defense. Motorman Wounded One of Hts As* sallants In the Leg—Inspector Shot Wan Through the Groin—Men x Who Did the Shooting Arrested—Arrested Rioters Released. San Francisco, Sept. 3.—The labor union parade resulted in the shooting of two men by employes of the United Railroads. The car men were attack- ed by the paraders and.Jn self-defense opened fire. The trouble started at Verry, where it is stated a Sutter street car broke through the line of parade. A mob of labo- union mpn fol'^wpd tr-» nv.a-'* at the Junction of Sutter street the members attacked the car. The mo- torman, seeing jUi&i uis life was in danger, opened fire and wounded one of his assailants in the leg. A block further up an inspector was attacked by the mob. He was sudden- ly struck in the face and ran from his assailants. They followed him to the Icorner of Sutter and Montgomery streets, where they overtook him. He drew a pistol and aimed at a burly labor union man who carried ttrlcks in his hands. The inspector opened fire and shot the man through the. groin. Six shots were fired. A riot call was sent in to the police and fire depart- ments and a force of police and fire- men were soon on the scene, The men who did the shooting were^ arrested\ bijt several\rioters who were seized by the police were released. The labor union men who were in the parade evidently thought that they had the right of way over the streets of San Francisco, for when the cars of the' United Railroads attempted to break through the procession there was trouble. What had been an orderly parade turned into a riot The cars of the United Railroads had stopped while the parade was in progress, but when the marchers be- gan to disperse the oars began run- ning. There was a dense crowd at ferries and the union resented the at- tempt to run the cars. The two wounded men were, re- moved by the police to the harbor .po- lice station. When the police jumped jftr to \quiet the riot a, number' of theni as soon as they made arrests were set upon by the labor union' paraders. and mobbed, One .policeman said after- ward: . \It took 20 officers to make a single arrest.\ Sheridan's Courier Dead.

Night Rates For Messages Cancelled. Officials of the American Telephone and Telegraph company in New York city say that the order cancelling night rates and charging day rates at all- hoursr on all the \company's lines throughout the country was. made\ nec- esS.gry by the congestion of traffic which occurred when the night rates took effect.

Pougtds4epsie., Sept. 3.—Lieutenant- Governor Chanler was the principal speaker at the' observance of Labor Day. The beleibration was participat- ed in by the trades unions of Pough- lceepsle and other places along the Hudson river, Lieutenant-Governor Chanler, whose home is i n Duchess county, rode at the head of the union labor parade and was applauded along the line-of march. Many Democrats hailed him as \our next president\. A lar.ge throng was gathered at Hudson riyer park to hear the lieutenant governor speak. Mr. Chanler said in part: \Organization is essential to exis- tence in the present complicated sys- tem'of development. The struggle for individual preferment has widened to the demand for general Improvement. When capital combines its forces to produce more wealth, the power that produces capital must do the same in self-defense or be lost in confusion. To prevent that confusion the union was formed. There should be har- mony between eombined capital and organized labor—harmony and pros- perity. \There cannot he harmony-without mutual concessions, in the absence of a fixed rule of procedure. There must be an equal amount of 'give and take' pending the final adjustment, and pending that adjustment let the unions uphold the dignity as well as the power of organized labor. \The position occupied today by union labor is one of unquestioned, if hot unexampled power.\ The strug- gle, while it lasted, was hard fought •and- bitter. -^It-has resulted in a vic- tory so complete as to make us won- der that there evei 1 could\ have been a time when Organized labor was ig- nored by clvlliiSed Industry. \The question today i s not as to the power of the union' but as to how that power will be used. Power^—great power—such as' you as union men pos- sess carries with it tremendous re- sponsibility. You can use it or abuse lit, as great power has been used or abused by those who possessed it from time; Immemorial. I believe that you will not afuse it. \You should not dominate but regu- late. •Regilate.with r^ht thinking and with candor. The time will come when universal arbitration will be recognized,,as |he only road to pro- gress. That; time has not yet come and it-will'not w#je until the demands of organized laborSare universally re(* ognlzed..as Jmt demands.. It is for you to prove your, case by only and al- ways demanding -justice and justice- alone.\ HE HATED FLATTERY FOR LUNCH BASKET APPETIZING DISHES EASILY PRE- PARED. ' Empress Wants Wild Cats.

For Cheese and Olive Sandwiches.— Work a cream cheese soft with but- -ter and uieam and ttda~Wlt hair as much bulk of ripe olives, chopped \fine. Season to taste.with salt and white pepper or paprica and spread the mixture on buttered bread, out In thin slices. This is especially good on whole wheat or Boston brown bread, although it is also excellent on white bread. Njo one who has once eaten and en- joyed the ripe olives is likely to care much again .for the ordinary green olives. Ripe Tomatp Sandwiches.—Prepare a French dressing and dip into it slices of raw tomatoes peeled. Lay these between slices of thin white oreajL- bnjtgred, ftspaifi theaa^aand=_ wiches only a short while before they are to be eaten or they will become soggy.. Cucumber Sandwiches.—These may be prepared in the same way as the tomato sandwiches, cutting the cucum- ber Into very thin slices.

The good old blackberry has a, ftediKToo bohtnd-tt-and-medictnal~quHlr\ ities recognized and appreciated by ancients and moderns! While most fruits are laxatives, the blackberry, fruit, leaves and roots alike, is among the mose valued astringents. Black* i berry wine ranks high as a tonic, con-.

The coverings for porch cUshioas al- ways should be of some material that will stand laundering, such as. denim, linen, gingham and turkey red cali- co. For floor cushions nothing is more serviceable than the goods found in Mozambique curtains, as 'it bears all kinds of hard usage and exposure to the'weather. To make the coverB so they can be removed and laundered, fasten a row of buttons on one edge, under the ruffle; work buttonholes to correspond; or the ends-can-be tied together with ribbons.
