A Deathtrap.
Loui8ViLLE, Ky., Dec. 15. A large
span of the JinVrsonvllle and Louli-
ville bridge across the Ohio river fell at
bulf past ten this morning. The bridge
would have been conpleted in a few
days.
Forty-one men were throwu into the
river. The number killed will not, it
if- thought, exceed twenty. The acci
dent was due to the unsccuro placing
of a traveling crane. Last niKhttho
wind still further loosened it, and
when the engines started this morning
to draw It back into lis place, the
swaying of the false work In the high
wind forced it from the piles where it
was placed, carrying the bridge down
with it. Ten workmen saw the dan
ger in time to escape. Forty -one went
down a hundred and ten feet Into the
water.
Three years ago, 'during the construc
tion of piers, an accident happened In
the caisson, by which twelve lives were
lost, Accidents have been frequent
and It Is said fifty persons In all have
lost their lives by them. The bodies of
Ed. BimmouB and ten unidentified
workmen have been recovered.
At 11 o'clock twenty-five bodies, hor
ribly mangled, have been recovered.
The number wounded is not yet learned,
though It will be lame.
LATEH FROM WRECK.
A report from Jeflersonvllle, the oth
er end of the bridge, says one hundred
aud fifty men were on the span, of
whom only sixty-five are accounted for.
CONFLICTING REPORTS,
As to how many men were on the
span when it fell, there are conflicting
reports. 8ome escaped men say there
were a hundred, and aa few are taken
out of the water or from the debris, the
loss of life Is put down as at least fifty.
Others say Just before the accident a
number of men wore called off the span
and not more than fifty remained, some
of whom escaped to the other span,
and that with the saved from the wa
ter, the loss Is not more than 20 or 25.
The latter Is probably correct.
THE DEAD.
Following are taken out dead: Les
ter Garllck, Frank Miller, Pat Kelly,
Frank Simons, Chas. Murphy, J. W.
Burke, John Courtney, BudCavanaugh
and a man namrd Russell. Seven In
jured are found so far.

examination oflJIum was concluded.
Blum on direct examination testified
that he was Induced to turn state's ev,
dence by the promise of United Statt s
District Attorney D. R. Murphy to nek
the court fur leniency, and the deser
tion of the other defendants.
It is tne general impression that
Blum was a most competent witness
for the government aud thus his testi
mony has been very effective aud has
made out a most damaging case against
the conspirators. The rulings of Judge
Bellinger have dismayed the lawyers
for the defense throughout the who'e
trial, and a stronger gallaxy of promin
ent Jurists was never manballed than
are pleading the cause of these defend
ants. Blum bad bis facts all pat and was
never confused. On crots examination
he was proud to be more than a match
for some of the counsel aud often struck
back at them In a telling manner with
recitals tbey bad rather bavo kept in
the dark. He bad bis records ery
complete, consisting of memoranda,
letters, notes of agreement, cipher codes
and ficticious names under which the
money was passed, It is believed thai
there will be convictions lu every case.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
FORECAST OF TOE MESSAGE,
Haw CleToland Will Deal Willi
Hawaii.
THE ENGLISH IDEA OF ANNEXATION.
Republicans Resisting Admission
of Arizona as a
State.
Forecast of the Message.
Washiagton, Dec. 16. A corres.
pondeut of tbe Baltimore Sup eays:
"Tho president's messago on Hawaii
will boaoouipleto jrevlow of tho whole
question. The president will show that
tbe queen waa overthrown by acta
sanctioned by Stevens, that, aa It re
ceived the approval or the Uulted
States and was considered unjustified
and unfriendly, It must be undone. The
president will probably say that Willis
waa Instructed to first decline formally
tbe proposition of aunexatlon.and thou
to announce that tbe Uulted Btatee de
manded that tho queen be restored! to
power peacefully, but that If she was
unwilling to be seated without the as
surance of this government that she
would be protected from harm and re
tained in power by tbe United Btatee,
then to take no steps but to awat In
structions from the United States, tbe
pWbIuejrtTlfTa"y theT'tulnlster found
tho provisional government much
fctrouger than was expected, uoIuk
seated and lie power Increasing each
day. All tbe couditlous were such as
to prevent tho oarrying out o( his In
structions; and now that the president
bad exhausted his prerogatives of offico
to bring about a settlement lu Hawaii
without calling upon tho naval force to
assist It, there was no other resort for
tho president but to leave the question
for the further action of congress. It Is
believed tho presldout will not diverge
from his present policy. It Is certain,
however, he will hardly urge that force
be resorted to."
The Message.
Washington, Dio, 15. The presi
dent's message on tho Hawaiian ques
tion will be 2500 to 8000 words in length.
The president Is himself now engaged
In writing tbe message. It. will prob
ably uot go to congress before Monday.
Tbe steamer sails from Ban Francisco
to Honolulu today or tomorrow. All
that tbe state and navy departments
have collected on Hawaii la now lu the
president's hands having beon taken to
him today and none of it will be made
public until ho sends It to congress.
English Idea of Annexation.
London, Dee. 16. Tbe Standard, re
ferring to tbe Hawaiian situation, says;
The knot or merchants, speculators
and office seekers who plauned and
curried out I he revolution lu Hawaii
aud constituted themselvt-H the pro
Vls'onal government are, as might be
expected, furious at President Cleve
land for having decided that tho Uulted
States must decline to accept the It
lands offered them as a result if he
nefarious Intrigue by American citi
zens. No other decision could have
been expected from au honest, honor
able man, but It has astonished tbe
group of adventurers, who thought
tbey would be enthuslastlea y balled
by a grateful country for what they
had really done only for personal ad
vantage. Stevens Talks oa Hawaii.
Portland, Me., D-c. 16. J. L,
Stevens delivered an aridrta on lUwtfl

Among other things be said: "The na.

Debate in OoagreM.
Washington, Dee, 15. Thefaouee
WHs.dead locked two hours by the re-
fuaal or tbe Republicans to vote on the
whole ror tbo consideration of tho Ari
zona statehood bill. Tbo Democratic
leaders decided this morning to proceed
with tho consideration of tbe Arizona
and New Mexico bills and dispone of
tbom beforo tho holld.iy?. The Repub
licans do not rollah the Idea of brine;- '
lug these Democratic territories into
tbo Union and at tbe request of the
leaders refrained from voting except
those from the newly admitted ettee
or Washington, Wyoming, Montana,
Idaho aud tbo Dakotaa. The Demo
crats expect to have their owu quorum

McGarraban's bill was called up dur
ing tbo morning hour but waa filibus
tered against by Bayers or Texas, chair
man or tbe appropriation committee.
Immediately after reading tbe jour
nal Dookcry called up the bill to Im
prove tho methods or accounting In
tbe postoffloe department. TjHt bill
abolishes postal notes, reduees the
schedules or rates on money orders ap
proximately to a scale fee, charged by
the express companies and makes oth
er changes, The bill paeeed without
debate. ,.., w -
Tho bill limiting the time, under
which claimants to property under tbe

cupants of lands prefertlalolalmln oaee
tho title under tho act of 1850 was net
affected was takou up. Some debate
by Hermann of Oregon and Mr, Voer
heps or New York, was Indulged la;
The latter Intimated that some private
interest must exist In tho bill that H
sought to deprive one ulaey of claimable
for tbo benefit of anothor. He declared
It would bo anothor D-'sMoluei river
case. Hermann stated that the old
claimants bad ovor forty years to eon
firm their titles, Tho bill was not de
signed to dispossess any claimants.
Tho bill simply required the original
claimants or their Ijolrs to come forward
aud protect their titles or surrender
them to the present occupants. Tbe
bill passed.
