DEATHS BEACH AT LEAST SIXTY Structure Near Quebec Was Mile and Half Long, and Half of ft Fall Without Warning. Quebec, Aug. 31. A section of the new bridge across tbs St. Lawrence river, five miles below this city, col lapsed late yesterday, carrying scores of bridge workmen and mechanics into the water. It is estimated that the lost of life to at least 60, and may exceed that number by 20. The bridge was about a mile and a ball long and half of it, from ths south shore to midstream, crumpled np and dropped into the water. Ninety men were at work on this section of the structure.'and the whittle had blown at 6:30 for them to qnit work for the day, when there came a sodden grinding sound from the bridge midstream. The men turned to see whet had hap pened, and an instant later the cry went up: "The bridge ia falling." The men made a rush shoreward, but the distance waa too great for them to escape. The falling section of the bridge dragged others after it. The snapping girders and cables boomed like a crash of artillery. Terror lent fleetneas to the feet of the frightened workmen as they sped shoreward, but only a few of them reached safety before Ihe tost piece of Iron work on the south shore was dragged into the river. Near the ahore the wreckage of the bridge did not go below the aurface cf the water and eight workmen who re mained above water were rescued and taken to the hospital at Levis. The steamer Glenmont had just cleared the bridge when the first sec tion fell. The water throvn up by the debris came clear over the bridge of the steamer. The captain st once ordered out all the email boats. They plied backward and forward for half an hour, but there waa no aign of life. The Quebec bridge waa begon about seven years ago, and was to bave been finished in 1909. Subsidies bad been granted by the Federal and Provincial governments and the city of Quebec, snd the estimated coat for work was $10,000,000. Ths Phoenlxville Bridge company, of Pennsylvania, had the contract for the construction of the bridge. 8TRAW COMPANY FORMED. Organized by Pacific Stataa Concern to Keep Out Rival. San Francisco, Aug.
