be converted into strength
when it is perfectly digested

A. J. Fowler, aged 28, Paterson, N.
., left foot crushed.
The cause of the accident had not
been ascertained up to 11 o’clock. The
btidge Is of the cantilever pattern, and
is being constructed by the American
Bridge company for the Wabash rail
road.
The men had been at work on the
Pittsburg end, but a short fllme this
morning when suddenly the traveler,
which Is projected beyond the finished
part of the bridge, dropped and fell,
landing on a section of the bridge,
which was being placed In position. So
unexpected and sudden was he crash
that few of the workmen on the wreck
ed section were warned In time to es
cape.
The falling bridge landed on top c
barge load of steel anchored at the
pier and several of the workmen there
were carried down.
♦John McTlghe, who 1b a blacksmith’s
jiijlper, employed at the city machine
shop, happened to be on the Mononga-
hela wharf watching the men at wo-
When the accident occurred. McTlghe,
In giving a description of the acci
dent, said:
"The men were preparing to ram in
one of the pins on the bridge when th«
accident took place. Before I knew
what had happened, I saw the entire
top of the traveler collapse and the
neect minute the men were falling
through the air.
"One of the men who fen from the
top of the structure, alighted on his
head on the barge and rebounded sev
eral, feet, ailing Into the water. Hli
crushed body was taken out later. One
man was at work some distance above
the barge, having bold of one of the
ropes which was used In hoisting. He
managed to escape and I saw him
about the place later.
“When the traveler snapped the
hoisting engineer realized what f.ad
taken place. He opened the whistle
of his engine and blew a loud warn
lug. This continued until the break
ing sections of the bridge threw bis
steam pipes out of gear. His warn
lng, however, had been heard by fore
man SVllllam Riddle and the seven
men at work In the barges underneath
the bridge. They scarmbled to the
planks and most of them got ashorei

Chattanooga, Oct. 19.—A fiendish at-
tempt as made to wreek a passenger
train yesterday on the Southern rail
way between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
At a point near Dallas, Ga., a freight
went through a trestle resulting In
the death of Fireman Roy Fagala. A
negro flagged the pasaenger Just be
fore It arrived at the trestle.
Investigation developed that the fish
plates had been pulled from the rails.
The freight was not due to arrive at
that time, hence the conclusion that
the attempt was to wreck the pas
senger. The "When Johnny comes

the passenger.
