Baird, secretary-treasucer of and originator of the plan_to build the bridge, was in the company’s office in the Commerce building when the incident occurred. The bridge is in plam view of his room and it is his custom to watch the progress of the workmen through his field glasses. When the span fell he had the glasses and saw the debris strike the water. Mr. Baird is of the opinion_that most of those at work on the bridge had insurance o their ives, us it is the custom of the con tractors to msure their laborers' lives in the guaranty companies. He was by no means cortain of this, however. He said there would be no effort on the part of the com pany to conceal faets or disguise the truth in regard to the accident, and thought the bridee peoble shoutd not ' be censured, stat ing that every man employed in the work accepted the place fully cognizant of the risk to be run, The history of the Lou souville Bridge company 1s a series of dis- asters, financially and otherwise.

The first was caused by the cupidity of a subcontractor. ilie and Jefer- who engaged himself as an expert when in reality he was inexpervienced. ‘The con- tractors were decetved by representations which he made. He allowed the air to es- cape from the caisson and the water rushed in, drowning fourteen mes The second caisson accident resulted from the foolhavdiness of a foreman in the wan agement of the structure, and caused the death of seven men. Today's was the thivd big accident in the cliain. Several minor o OIS have occurred botween time: The enterprise wa ken hy a very serious financial disaster early m its career as a result of the Baving failure in 1800, which, by reason of the depressing effect in money centers, prevented the floating of $1,000,000 of bouds, arrangements for which had all but been consummated. Thereverse was a blow from which the enterprise never recovered while in the hunds of its oviginal promoters. Falled in Furthe Joseph Kreiger, the leading spirit, broke himself and the Masonic bank of this city in furthering the project, and finally sunl him- self into an untimely death under 4 load of ills resulting from multiplied disasters caused by the bridge. The enterprise lngvished several times, and at one time it looked like those who had projected it would reap nothing but loss. However,iu Mareh last.they succeeded in d posing of the property toa syndicite under terms that were cousidered very advan tageousto them o It is estimated by the engincers of the Phaenix Bridge company that the loss to the brigge will be at least $100,000.

The conference, how was entively harwonious and the U Pacitic, as stated by an ofticial, will stiil have an outlet from Julesburg into Denver with- out havirg to resort to its Cheyenne brauch, which would make the distance to Denver considerably longer. Mr. Trumbull, it was learncd, was disposed to make tte best ar- ravgements possible for the interests of his roud as well as for the Unlon Pacific without which he would be placed at considerable of a disadvantage.

We roady to acknowledge that we, loving liberty and good government honestly admiuistered, ap- proved of the deposition of the late queen and the organization of the provisional gov. ernment and give to the said provisional government our hearty support, because we know it represents the best interests and most advanced religious, moral, social and business interests of the islands, and we as- sert that theso several interests are so united as to form a government strong enough to stand and maintain itself against international uprisings or wsurrections, and the well known character of those the head of affairs gives positive assurance thay the governmeut will be hounestly admin tered aud that the rights of the people will be honestly dealt with.

Although there was comparatively little botting, there was enough money changing hands to indicate thut odds were about even and that Slosson would be the viccor to- night. The Student's defeat of Schaeffer on ‘luesday night was doubtless in a large measure accountablo for the turn in the betting. In the audience tonight was an unusuaily large number of ladies, all of them superbly clad and all of them ou a common basis s to their completo ignorance of vhe difference between a carom and a masse. ; The billiardists of the inner circle of the Nl were ull expressing their condolence over the aceident which happcned to Wil- liwm Sexton, the <Old Comanche,” the re erco of three previous gaues in the mateh, whio broke Lis leg In two places while alight: iug from u Broadway car this evening.
