Au Electrlc Motor \Vent Through the Open
Draw of the Central Viaduct. Burr
lug Twenty Passengers In the
Stream Below.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 18.—A heavy electric
motor car containing about 20 passenger:
went through the draw of '18 Central
viaduct at 7:45 o’clock last' evening and
drdpped 101 feet to the river below, carry-
ing its occupants to instant and fearful
death. , It is a horror, the like of which
has never occurred here before. The list
of the dead so far as recovered and identi
ficd is as follows: ‘
Mrs. Minnie Brown, aged 45, residence
‘unknown. .
-—-— Hoffman, conductor of the car.
Henry W. Mecklenburg, aged 35, of 58
Mary street, a tailor. -
Burt Lepehene, aged 19, residence 11114
known.
Bessie Davis, aged 20, of Noyes street,
schoolteacher.
James McLaughlin, aged 85,0f 7 7 Trow-
bridge avenue, a printer.
Harry W. Foster, aged 21, of 51 Mentor
avenue, clerk. ,
Matthew Callahan, aged 23, of Hamilton
street, steel worker,
Mrs. Sauerheimer, aged of 35,
street.
Mrs. Martha Sauerheimer, aged 30, or
154 Merchant avenue.
The Central viaduct is a huge stilt
bridge 3,000 feet long and made of iron.
It connects the heights and the prosperous
residence section on the south side with
the business center of the city. Directly
over the river is a draw bridge of the pivot
swinging pattern, and the is 101 feet
have the surface of the water. The South
idc Street railway passes over the bridge,
and on either side of the draw there is a
safety switch, which, unless the conductor
alights and holds up a handle, Will send a
car into the gutter instead of allowing it
to go on the draw. '
The Fearful Plunge.
First reports from the scene of the dis-
aster seemed to place the blame on the
conductor. They Were to the effect that
the ill fated motor car approached the
draw just as a vessel was nearing it, and
the bridge attendants had closed the big
iron gates andwere preparing to swing
the draw. As is the rule, the car stopped,
and the conductor went forward to release
the switch in case the way was clear. He
must have been blinded by the electric
lights, for an eyewitness declares that,
although the gates Were closed and the
draw was already in motion, the conductor
raised the switch handle.
The moterman applied the current, and
the ear shot forward and struck the gates
Professor
' with a crash. There was only a moment’s
pause, and then the heavy car ground its
way through the wreckage and plunged
over the brink into the black abyss, amid
the screams and frantic struggles of the
passengers, who at the first intimation of
danger rushed for the rear door. The car
struck the Water with a great splash, and
then there was silence. Soon police patrol
wagons and ambulances were soon flying
to the spot in response to telephone calls.
In an_ incredibly short space of time the
work had begun. ’
The captain of the bridge guards says:
“I saw this car coming rapidly toward the
draw just as I had given the signal to
swing it to admit of the passage of a ves-
se‘l. I waved my hands and halloed to the
motorman to stop, but apparently he paid
no attention to me. The car came on.
Just before it went over the brink the
motorman jumped and ran away.”
‘ This statement does not agree with those
of eyewitnesses, who declare that the con—
,duotor Went ahead to open the switch,
which is about 300 feet from the draw,
and motioned to the car to {come ahead.
Certain it is that the conductor mounted
the car again and went down with the
passengers to death, and it will never be
possible to tell exactly what he did before
the accident occurred.
' Getting the Bodies.
The alarm which was sent out brought
to the scene half a dozen ambulances, the
fireboats and the members of the life sav-
ing crew, with grappling irons. Within
five minutes after the accident the surface
of the river revealed nothing of the terri-
ble tragedy that had just‘ been enacted.
The Waters had closed over the car and its
passengers, and the work of rescuing the
bodies in the uncertain light was slow in-
deed. At 9 o'clock half a dozen bodies
that had evidently floated out of the car
5nd risen to the surface were taken from
the river and carried to the various
morgues. The news of the terrible acci-
dent spread like wildfire through the city,
and a large crowd soon collected on the
bridge and along the banks of the river.
They could do nothing, however, but
watch the slow work of grappling for the
bodies.
A dredge has been secured, and the
wrecked car will be raised bodily from the
bottom of the river. If that is done, the
remainder of the bodies will soon be re-
covered, for it is probable that few if any
of the bodies have floated away, the river
being practically without current at that
point. _
One Rescued Alive.
' One man who wdiit down in the wreck—
Patrick Leoncy—was rescued _ alive, but
unconscious, and was taken to the hospital.
Leoncy has a bad wound in the head. He
said, when he recovered consciousness,
that his recollection of the accident was
not very clear. The first intimation he
had that an accident was to occur was when
he felt the car falling. ~Before ~he knew
what had happened he became uncon-
scious and remembered nothing more un-
til he came to at the hoSpital. Leoney’s
lmpressionwas that the car was full of
people, but he could not remember Whether
it was a single-car or double train.

WITH HIS THROAT OUT.
A. Duluth Cutting 'Case That Is Shrouded
In Mystery.
DULUTH, Nov. 18.-—With his throat cut
from ear to etir, an unknown man lies dy-
lng at St. Luke’s hospital, this city, and
the deepest mystery surrounds the case.
Who the man is or how he came .by‘his in-
juries the police and the doctor who took
him to the hospital refuse to state. The
man, who is not over 25 years of age, a
short, well built young fellow, with
smooth face and blue eyes, is known at
the hospital as Charles Benson, but that
is simply a name he was given by the hos-
pital people when he was brought in.
Early last Sunday morning Benson was
taken to the hospital by Dr. James Mc-
Auliife and an unknown man, so the hos-
pital people say, but this is denied by the
doctor, who says he knows nothing of the
case. The wound in the man’s throat had
already been dressed when he was received
in the hospital, and the attendants were
instructed to see that he wanted for noth-
ing. All attempts to find out who the
man is or how he received his injuries are
Dr. McAuliffe
and the hospital authorities say the man
will die without being able to explain it.
It is reported that Benson is in reality
a wealthy young man from one of the
larger cities, who came here to visit the
wife of a Duluth citizen during the sup-
posed absence of the latter from the city.
The husband returned unexpectedly, and
finding his wife and the young man to-
gether drew a knife and attempted to kill
the destroyer of his home.
CHICAGO’S PUBLIC BUILDING. .
The Massive Structure Rapidly Settling
and In Danger of Falling.
CHICAGO, Jov. 18.——Much alarm was
created about the city and county building
yesterday by the discovery that the struc-
ture is settling rapidly.
An inspection of the building shows that
it is sagging to the south and to the north,
and the weight of the two ends is pulling
the massive structure apart.
In the public library, where the danger
was first discovered, great cracks through
the center of the main room, up the sides
and through the window ledges on the
west side show the effect of the settling.
Canadian liIilitia Called Out.
OTTAWA, Nov. 18,—A requisition call-
ing out the militia to assist the provincial
police in collecting taxes in Lowe town-
ship was presented to the military authori-
ties yesterday. The requisition was grant-
ed, and 60 men of the Forty-third batal-
lion, accompanied by 20 men from the
Princess Louise dragoon guards and 20
from the Ottawa field battery, left for
Lowe. They will be under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Wright of the Forty-
third.
The Sunday Shaving: Question.
CHICAGO, Nov. '18. ——Judge Gibbons has
"declared the state law closing barber shops
on Sunday unconstitutional because it was
class legislation. An appeal was at once
taken by the Burbcrs’ Sunday Closing as-
sociation. The lhicago harbors are great-
ly at variance on the subject of Sunday
closing, a majority of the owners of shops
being against the law, walls the men who
do the actual work are equally divided
over the law.
Arton Caught In London.
LONDON, Nov. 18.—Emilc Arton, who
was associated with the late Baron Rein-
ach in the Panama canal scandals. has
been arrested here. lie disappeared in
180.2, when the French government issued
a warrant for his arrest. During his ab.
sonco from France, Arton was sentenced
by the French courts to 20 years’ impris~
muncnt and to pay heavy fines. .
. A. Priest Murdered.
DE SOTO, Mo., Nov. 18.——’I‘he body of a
German Catholic priest named A. P. Van
Antwerp was found today in a pool of
blood beside the Iron Mountain railway
tracks at Bushberg, Me. A wound over
one of the eyes showed how the man met
his death, and the fact that his pockets
had been rifled indicated that it was a
case of murder. .

Crisis In the East.
' TURKEY A MINE or POWDER.
‘Vould Set All Europe Ablaze—Russla
Prepared For the Crash and “’1“
tVin When It Comes.
BERLIN, Nov. 18.—-The’: crisis in Turkey
is watched here with close attention, and
11 met by Prince Bismarck, which he ut-
tered last Week in conversation with Count
von Kardoif, the German ‘silver champion,
at Friederichsruhe, where. the count paid
a short visit and in which, the ex-chaneel-
lor compared Turkey with a powder mag-
azine, whose explosion would set all Eu-
rope ablaze, is much commented upon.
The press representative in this city had
a brief interview on Thursday last with
two diplomats who are stationed at Ber-
lin, one of them representing a great pew-
er. The letter said it was not likely that
a war or 8. evolution in Turkey would take
place before next spring. That much, he
added, is taken for granted by the powers.
But it is probable that events will become
critical in Turkey, and then recent de—
velopments have shown the sultan to be
capable of almost any coup de tete; hence
something unexpected andiunforeseen may
occur at any time. Continuing, the diplo-
mat said: - - f
‘fJust now it looks as if Russia, when
the crash comes, will be the best prepared
for the emergency and will be the winner
in the game.” ' ‘
Insulting His Majesty.
The prosecutions fer lese;majeste, which
are becoming of almost daily occurrence,
and which are based in some cases upon
frivolous grounds, are causing grave dis-
satisfaction among even the Conservative
classes, while they are denounced by all
liberal minded men as not only encroach-
ing upon liberty of speech 'and the press,
but as ending to serve rather than to com—
bat Socialist agitation. The complaint
among the ultra-Conservatives is that
prosecutions only drag the imperial dig-
nity down into the mire, ant. that the
proper course would be to treat the attacks
with the scorn they deserve.
The strong Conservative Post and the
Cologne Gazette; both stench upholders
of the state, express astonishment at the
proposed prosecutions of Professor Del-
burck for his recent remarks in The Freus-
sische J ahrbucher regretting the extreme
zeal of the police in "plunging into a pet-
tifogging campaign” against the Social-
ists. These utterances are so innocent of
any intent to insult the authorities and
are so clearly written in the interests of
the state that if the judges uphold the po-
lice contention “liberty of the press” will
be a mere farcical expression.
A Far Seeing Judge.
The extraordinary, considerations, too,
which led the judge to sentence Herr
Liebknecht at Breslau to four months’
imprisonment for his recent speech at the
opening of the Socialist congress here
have simply dumbfounded the Liberals
here. The judge said that Liebknecht had
evidently tried to frame his remarks so as
not to involve the crime of lese majeste,
and he admitted that Liebknecht had not
intended to commit the oflense. Yet, he
. continued, as there might have been many
persons among the audience who would
have found in the words an allusion to the
emperor, he sentenced him to four months’
imprisonment. ' To an, American such a.
judgment seems outrageous and certain-
ly will only gain sympathy for the Social—
ists.
The police are trying to discover who
shot, apparently from pure malice, Em-
peror William’s magnificent Russian grey—
h‘ound, a gift from the czar, while the ani-
mal was in his kennel at the new palace.
The dog was the emperor’s favorite. Two
scallions at the palace, who are known to
have attended anarchist meetings in Ber-
lin, have been arrested.
Smallpox has appeared in Berlin, though
not yet cpidemically. The health authori-
ties were notified of a dozen oases last
Week and the same number of cases the
week previous. The disease has been im-
ported from Russia.
Politics In Prussia.
At the coming session of the Prussian
diet the government will introduce a bill
modifying the restrictions in the existing
law governing associations. After the
mode of the Bavarian law women and
minors will henceforth be excluded from
political meetings, and the meaning of the
' words “political meeting” are .to be en-
larged and newly defined.
United States Consul Dwight J. Par-
tello, since his return from America, has
been waited upon by a committee from
the chamber of commerce of Sonneberg
and was asked to explain his statements
charging the exporters of that town With
deliberate and systematic undervaluatio‘n
of their goods. Mr. Partello replied that
the charges and their proofs Were first
made by the revenue officers of New York,
and he refused to retract his own state-
ments. . g
The news that the medals and‘diplomas
awarded to German exhibitors at the Chi-
cago World’s fair will not be ready until
February has been badly received in this
country. The North German Gazette,com-
menting upon the fact, says, “Such a de
lay is unprecedented.”
Secretary Pierce of the United States
embassy at St. Petersburg is new in this
city on leave of absence. He will 'pend
the month of December in Italy, an
return to his post Jun. 1.
