The Louisville and Jeffersonvllle Bridge Has Cost Many Lives.

SUDDEN COLLAPSE OF A SPAS FRIDAY.

Tho Horror, Which the Third In 1U History, Uesults In th« Death of Many Men—Eight Uodles Itccov©red—Seventeen Missing.

A. BRIDGE FALLS.

LOUISVILLK, Ky., Deo. 10.—The new Louisville and Jeffersonville bridge, notorious for a series of unusual misfortunes since its inception, was the scene of a double accident Friday in which a large number of lives were lost and many other pontons injured, ranking it the worst disaster in this vicinity since the great cyclone of three years ago. During a high wind at 10:18 o'clock Friday morning the middle 550-foot span of the bridge over the middle of the Ohio river collapsed with the false work under it and threw more than fifty workmen into the river, twenty-fire or more being caught undor the mass and crushed to death or drowned, while at least a iscore were injured, some of whom cannot recover.

The U«acl.

Following is a correct list of the dead* as obtained up to midnight: Frank I. Bums. Franklin, Pu., picked up dead in river: C. W. Cook, Mantua, O., log muHlied and head crushed, died in city hospital: James Courtney. No. 208 Campbell street, Louisville, dead when found: Frank Miller, No. 003 Washington street, dead when found Charles Murphy, No. 499 State street, Chicago, died at city hospital.

Seventeen persons are missing. The injured so far as known number fourteen.

The Cause.

The bridge has been under construction for a number of years and several times work has been suspended for lack of funds. Two years ago the Masonio savings bank failed because of its connection with the bridge company. Recently financial assistance was obtained and work was resumed. Three years ago, In constructing the piers, a dreadful accident happened at the caisson, resulting in the death of twelve men. Accidents have been frequent and from first to last it is said that fifty men have been killed.

The accident was due to the insecure placing of the "traveler." The wind still further loosened it, and an order was given to draw it back into its place and the engines were started. The wind was high, and the swaying of the false work forced the traveler from the piles on which it was placed. When the end slipped off the men realized their danger. The engineer called to the men and ten of the fifty-one on the span escaped. Forty-one men fell 110 feet into the water.

Th« Work of Kegcue.

The shocking accident was witnessed by men employed along the river front and on the boats plying up and down the river. The ferry company »t ouce sent two boats to assist securing the bodies of the dead and dying and rescuing the workmen still alive. About sixty men were at work on the span when it gave way and plunged them into the river. Both banks of the river were soon crowded with people. Many women wore in the throngs, and it was apparent there were present the wives and children OT those who had gone down to death. The patrol wagons were kept busy and the guards were assisted by the fire department in carrying off the victims. The wagons could not go to and from the hospital fast enough to receive those taken from the river.

I'rvcedutl by Two Shocks.

James Trent, a painter, who resides at '224 Eighteenth street, this city, was on the span 20 feet from the pier nearest the Kentucky slioro. when he heard a peculiar crashing noise. With Ernest' Miller, Robert Woodford, Charles Pope and a workman named Carter, he ran for his life toward the pier and all succeeded in reaching a safe foothold on the masonry when the span went down with a fearful crash. Trent and his companions slid down a rope to the river's surface, where they were taken into a skiff which hurried to the spot. Trent asserts that the collapse w:is preceded by two distinct shocks, which gave tho workmen warning, but too lute to allow many of them to escape.

I.onpod for Life.

Tho Louisville boat club has its boats moored near Tow Head island, in the vicinity of the bridge. The boatman in charge of the house Bays he saw the accident from tho beginning, As soon as tho works began to give way tho men on the bridge ran in either direction, and as soon as they felt their support going leaped for life. There was very little warning, he says, and many who leaped never again came to tho surface. Boatmen were informed that the other span was also unsafe, and many are afraid to go near it.

A Miraculous Escape.

There were many narrow escapes, but the most thrilling was that of a workman called ".Spider," who broke the record for high jumping, lie was at the top of the huge "traveler," 140 feet from the water, lie felt something give way and then saw that the whole span was falling. Placing his hands above his head he leaped headlong to the wutor. .Strange to say he was not seriously hurt.

A Second Collapsed.

Friday night at 8:15 o'clock another wind swept down the river. Towering high above the wreckage of tho morning's disaster was the great 553 foot steel span, nearer the Kentucky shore. Several workmen were standing on the structure. Suddenly the great steel skeleton quivered and as the wind came bowling down the river it swept these mon into tho water, SO feet below. In another moment the wind tore the span from its supports and it -.sank a wreck oi •, twisted steel. So far as known nu one was hurt, but ojiiy a roll cull will

tell, for the. bridge contractors are so demoralized they cannot even give accurate estimates of the loss of life. The loss of the Phoenex Bridge company, the contractors, by the two accidents will be over (100,000.

A Series of Disaster*.

The history of the. Louisville & Jetfersonvi'ilo Bridge company is a series of disasters, financial and otherwise. It was originally promoted in 1S7U and failures overtook it in its very incipiency. In 1888 it was revived under a now charter and ground was broken in October, 1SS9. Two caisson aee'dents took place during the building of the piers. The. first was caused by the cupidity of a sub-cont ractor who engaged himself as an expert when he was without experience. Tho contractors were deceived by representations which he made, lie allowed the air to escape from the caisson and the water rushed in, drowning fourteen men.

The second caisson accident resulted from the foolliardiness of the foreman in the management of the structure and caused the death of seven men. The enterprise was overtaken by a very serious financial disaster early in its career as a result of the Baring failure in 1S00, which, by reason of its depressing effect in money centers, prevented the floating of $1,000,000 of bonds, arrangements for which had all but been consumated. The reverse was a blow from which tho enterprise never recovered in the hands of its originators and promoters. Jacob F. ICrieger, the leading spirit, broke himself and the Masonic bank of this city in furthering the project, and finally sunk into an untimely grave.

ANOTHER POINT GAINED.

A Decision l)y the Court Favorable to Cougliliu's Prosecution. CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—In the Coughl^n trial on Friday the defense attempted to have the court rule against the admission of the testimony which would show that the man who gave his name as J. B. Simouds rented the top fiat of 117 Clark street and bought the furniture for the flat, the trunk in which Dr. Cronin's body was carried from the Carlson cottage and the satchel in which the doctor's clothing was earned to the manhole on Evanston avemie. After hearing arguments the court decided to admit tho testimony. When court adjourned for the day the prosecution had presented three links in the chain ofevidettco to prove the conspiracy. It had shown that J. B. Sirao'ndshad rented the-top flat of 117 Clark street of Knight & Marshall through Edward 6. Throckmorton, and had bought the furniture for the flat of A. H. Revell & Co. Salesman Hadfleld, who sold Simonds the furniture,"further testified that the furniture which was found in tho Carlson cottage was identical with the furniture he had sold to Simonds.

To-day the prosecution will connect the furniture store and 117 Clark street by the testimony of Expressman Allen, who delivered tho goods, and will connect 117 Clark street and the Carlson cottage by tho testimony of JElakan Mortenson, who carted the furniture from 117 Clark street to the Carlson cottage.

On Monday tho prosecution will prove tho cause of death. The state must show that Dr. Cronn came to hi» death by wounds inflicted in the mannor and by the men as charged in the indictment or it has no case. Besides the expprt testimony which will be presented, the prosecution will also exhibit protographs of Dr. Cronin's body. Thcso photographs have never been shown before. At the former trial a .plaster cast of the doctoi's head, showing tho cuts and wounds inflicted in the Carl-, son cottage, was used, and this plaster cast will also Vxj shown. The prosecution at the former trial was not able to show that the doctor's skull was fractured. The defense will contend that death was not caused by the woundB in tho head, and that many if not all of the cuts and bruises were caused in lifting tho body from the oatchbasin and while handling it afterward.

TRADE STILL WAITING.

I)un & Co.'s Weekly llevlow fjhowa General Dulluoftft—lilff Failure*. NEW YORK, Dec. 1G.—It. U. Duu & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:

much as it can, and yet the volume of business on a mere hand-to-mouth basis 1B sucb as would have been called large a few years ago. The fierce struggle of the Pittsburgh region for buBiuess drives prices to the lowest point ever known—til for Bessemer iron, *10.75 for steel billets—and takes away nearly all new work from the cast anA west, where depression lnoreu&es. "Prioea of wheat declined one cent, and of c«ru one-half cent. Pork packing at the west exceeds last year's and prices droop iu spite oi roports that hogs are proving of poor Quality. "Failures are numerous and large, 339 in tbe United States for the week, against 279 last year, and 40 in Canada, against last year, but a worse worse feature is their importance. The list of tho week includcn seven banks, with one of the oldest private banks for 1600.000, an ugricultnra] machinery establishment for Si,000,000, an iron works for »MW,000, a heavy tobacco dealer for l50O,(WO, a lumber concern for HOO.UOO and a dry goods couoeru for $150,000, making $2,500,000 for live failures.

Tho Bill to Make Arizona a State Passes tho House.

ARGUMENTS OF THE OPPOSITION.

An Attempt to Pass the Measure Admitting the Territory or New Mexico to Statehood Causes Aiiolhor "Wrangle.

ARIZONA GAIN'S TillC DAY.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 15.--The bill for] tho admission of Arizona was put through the house Friday and the bill for tho admission of New Mexico wns well under way when a wrangle over what was to bo done with Oklahoma intervened and the debate thus precipitated lasted until adjournment. The bulk of the eastern opposition to the territories as expressed by Mr. Bingham (rep., Pa.) wai on the theory that while the* eastern states—neb in wealth and strong in population—would be able to hold their own in the house, where tho basis of representation was population, the influence of the great statrs of the union would be overbalanced by tho greatly increased state representation in the senate.

Failed to Hroak the Quorum, Mr. Wheeler (dcm., Ala.) moved to go into committee of the whole on the Arizona Rtatehood bill. The republicans continued their filibustering tactics and the yeas and nays were demanded. As on Thursday, the republicans, except a few from the west, refused to vote, in order if possible, to break a quorum. They were unsuccessful, however, as the motion was carried by a vote of 182 to 5.

The Bill Passed.

A very few amendments were adopted. One increasing the grant of lands for state institutions as follows: "One hundred thousand acres each for an insane,-..

r..

asylum, penitentiary

and deaf and dumb asylum and 60,000 acres for a hospital for disabled miners,M was adopted, also one striking out the scale of fees for court officials and making them conform to existing laws./ Motions to consolidate the judicial district of Utah and Arizona and to reduce the salary of the federal judge were defeated.

An amendment proposed by Mr. Baker (rep., N. II.) reducing the percentage of the proceeds of the sale of public lands to be set aside as* a permanent fund for common school purposes from 10 to 5, making it in this respect conform to the Utah bill, was adopted without objection.

The republicans generally did not refrain from voting on the final passage of the bill, although many of them voted against it. The motion was carried— 185 to 01—and tho bill for the admission of Arizona was passed.

Wrangle Over Now Mexico. As soon as the vote was announced Mr. Wheeler moved that the liouso go into the committee of tho whole on the bill for the admission of New JVIox'i o. The republicans made no attempt to filibuster against the motion, which was carried without division. The debate took a wide range.

Mr. Pence (pop., Col.) said he should vote for the bill as he had voted for the bills for the admission of Utah and Arizona. lie felt In honor bound to do so. On tho republican side of the house, he said, he found a disposition to admit Utah, Arizona and New Mexico if there was any guaranty that Oklahoma, which was a republican territory, would also come into the union. There had been some hesitation about Oklahoma. Ho called upon Mr. Wheeler, the ohairinan of tho territorial committee, to say whether the bill for the admission of Oklahoma would be reported.

Oklahoma Must Wait.

Mr. Wheeler in reply stated that tin dillieulty in tho way of the admission of Oklahoma was tho five civilized Indian tribes, wllbse treaties gave then power to prevent the admission of that territory. He said that the president would probably send a commissioner to treat with tho Indians.

From that time until adjournment the debate touched more on the question of what was to be done with Oklahoma than the admission of New Mexico. It was participated in by Messrs. Hatch, Simpson, Dunn (N. j,), Springer, Washington (Tenn.) and Clark, (Mo.). At the conclusion of Mr. Clark's speech the committee rose and the house at 5:'J0 adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 10.—Tiio house committee on interstate and foreign commerce after listening to arguments by Senators Morgan (Ala.) and Frvr (Me.) reported favorably tho joint resolution of Representative Doolitth (Wash.) for the appointment of a joint commission, consisting of three SOIJators and six members, to investigate' the present status of the Nicaragua canal project.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—Twenty witnesses Friday in Judge Brentano's court gave testimony bearing on tho sanity or in sanity of Patrick Eugene Prendergast's mind. The defendant's history was detailed to somo extent and certain peculiar actions related over and over.

lef«use In the Wagner Case. iNDiANAfoi.is, Ind., Dee, 10.—Tho state has its evidence iu in the Anna Wagner poisoning easo and Friday tho defense started iu with a rush. There was a tearful scene in the courtroom when Attorney Spaan made his opening statement for the defense. He played on the sympathies of the jurymen and touched the responsive chords iu the hearts of the many women assembled until thore was a flutter of handkerchiefs to eyes overflowing with tears for what he termed tho unjust and causeless persecution of a friendless, untaught German girl. He condemned tho attempt to shoulder on the prisoner responsibility for an appalling series of crimes. There wore signs of yielding emotion on the part of the jury and in tho bitterness of her anguish Anna Wagner gave way to sobs. Charles Roosters, the originator of the theory by which the state hoped to convict Miss Wagner, was terribly scored. Mrs. Hannah Wetkowsky was first called to prove that she had purchased poison at tho drug store on the day when Druggist Borst claims to have sold a package to Miss Wagner. Mrs. Wetkowsky's resemblance to Anna Wagner was apparent the instant she took the chair and caused a sensation. Her story was told in German in a straightforward manner and was unshaken in cross-exam-ination.
