Beldlng ordinance. As soon as the ordi

mayor's sir-nature, and it is being taken

attorney will begin to cost out his drag

It Is expected that one of the first

B. H. Levy, 781 Lovejoy street, en
deavored to cut his way to liberty, while
confined in a cell on the top floor ft

That -he was unsuccessful was due
to two good and sufficient reasons.
First, because he was .removed to the
county Jail before he had time to put
.his plan into execution and secondly.
for the reason that on tne outside or

Quebec, Aug. 80. Criminals are be
lleved to be responsible for the death, of
the (2 persons who were killed In the .
collapse of a bridge across theTst
Lawrence river, five miles below thlsj
city, yesterday afternoon. There were
102 skilled American workmen on th ,
structure at the time of the disaster and '
only 10 of these are known to have)
been rescued.
Divers went down In the river today
and are exploring the bottom In search
or bodies or tne victims, tiunareae os
workmen are also employed under the
direction 'of engineers In efforts to save
the injured who were pinnea unaec
wreckage above water.
Two Others Will Die.
Two of the 10 Americans rescued ar
seriously Injured and It Is feared that
they will die.
It is reported tnat tne disaster waa
of criminal origin and the authorities
are making a searching Investigation. :
Several motives are said to oe assign ea r
for the possible destruction of the -bridge
but the investigators refuse ta
discuss their theories.
The fact that the collapse aid not oo
cur until after 6:30 when the workmen
were leaving the structure lends color,
to the belief that spite against the con
tractors caused the accident. The men . '
did not quit work quite as early aa .
usual last night and were making their
way towards shore when half of the .
reat structure feu into tne water, ,-ine
rids- waa a mile and a half lone and ,
was nearly completed. The half toward
the southern shore collapsed. ' - ' "'., -Dasa
'or Snore, .
Terrified by the sound of crashing ;
girders and snapping cables the men on
the bridge dashed toward shore. A few
of them reached the portion of the
bridge closest to the bank but all were
carried down. One section of the bridge i
did not go under water but the men
who were on it were caught In the
twisted steel and many hoira paased
before the rescuers could carry them to
a place of safety. Some of them will -survive,
but many died on their way to '
the hospital.
The men were in the employ of the
Phoenixvllle Bridge company and sub ;
contractors of this city and Montreal. - ,
Just before the crash occurred the .
steamer Glenmont had passed under the
bridge. When the structure collapsed
the boat returned to the scene, lowered
life boats and attempted to resoue the
Ill-fated crew. All of those who want
down, however, were evidently so
caught In the steel and woodwork (
the bridge that their bodies would not
float for none came to the surface.
