Mr. Itafrd Is of the opinion that most of those at work on the bridge had Insurance on their lives , ti it Is the custom of the con tractors to insure their laborers' lives In the guaranty companies. Ho was by no minus certain of this , however. lie said there would bo no effort on the part of the com pany to conee.il fartls or disenlso the truth in regard to the accident , and thought the bridge people should not bo censured , stat ing that every man employed In tliu work accepted the place fully cojnil/ant of the risk to bo run. The history of the Louisville and .icffer- souvillo Bridge company I3 a scries of dis asters , llnancially ami otherwise.

Two caisson accidents took place during the building of the piers. The tirst was caused by the cupidity of a subcontractor. who engaged himself as an expert when in reality ho was inexperienced. The con tractors wore deceived by representations which ho made. He allowed the air to cs- capo from the caisson uud the water rushed In. drowning fourteen men. The second caisson accident resulted from the foolbardincss of a foreman In tiie man- tiiM'tiicnt of the structure , and caused the death of seven men. Today's was the third big accident In the chain. Several minor Allies have occurred between times. The enterprise was overtaken 'iy ' a very serious llnancial disaster early in its career us a result of the Baring failure in 181)0 ) , which , by reason of the depressing effect in money centers , prevented the iloating.of $1.000,000 of bonds , arrangements for which had all but becn.consunima.tcd. Thorovcrso was a blow from which the enterprise never recovered while In the bunds of its original promoters. fulled In I'lirflicrlns ; I Ho I'rnji'i t. Joseph Krelgor. the leading spirit , broke himself and the Masonic. bank of this city in furthering the project , and finally sunk him self into an untimely-death under a load of ills resulting from multiplied disasters caused by the bridge. The enterprise languished several times , and at ono time it looked like those who had projected it would reap nothing but loss. Howevor.iu March last , tiiey succeeded in dis posing of the property to a syndicate under terms that were considered very advan tageous to them. It is' estimated by the engineers of the l'hanix Bridge company that the loss to the bridge will bo at least $100,000. Hntl a Nmrmv Kftcapc. George W. Brown , 0113 of the foremen In nhareo of eight men , had a remarkable and very thrilling experience. When the crash canio the men made a dash for the pier. Before they reached it the span fell and the workmen worn precipitated into the river. Mr. Brown displayed a remarkable presence of mind. Ho held his breath during the full , and remembers going to the bottom of the river. . The debris was piled above him , but ho managed to crawl from under this. Ho h an expert swimmer and attempted to put this practice to use , but then for the HrsVtlnio found lils left arm wa ? broitcn in three places. Ho managed , however , to ( 'rasp a floating" piece of timber with his right arm and lion toil down the river until rescued. Ho says , while ho was clinging to the timber , two men came up near him and , after atrugglnu/ Instant , sank out of sight. "I saw several others struggling in the water , wno sank out of sight before help reached them. In my weakened condition , and with my broken arm , 1 could nothing to help them. " James Trent , a painter who resides in this city , was on the span , twenty feet from the Pier nearest the Kontuckv shore , when ho heard a peculiar crunching noise. With Krnest Miller. Hubert \Volford , Uoburt I'opo nnd a man named Carter alt ran for tne pier and all succeeded In reaching a safe foothold on thu masonry , when the span went down with a fearful crash. Trent and his companions slid down a rope to the river's surface , when they were talcn ; into a skill which hurried , to the spot.

GEORGE W , VROMAN ON THE SITUATION llenilof the Union Pnclllo lioRlnefirIrlcv - nnco Committed illvcn III * View * on the Wngo Oticstlnn Under the UccclvctV Administration. Ctcorgn W. Woman , chairman of the Union Pacific grievance committee , Brotherhood of Locomotive Knglnccrs , Is among the arrivals at the Arcade. Mi * . Vrotuan Is a star of considerable bleslzo in thu galaxy .of organ ized labor nnd enjoys the distinc tion of being the only man who over stood a irhost of a show in competing with P. M , Arthur for the position .of grand chief of the brotherhood. This was at the Denver convention in 18S1. ) , nnd his popularity among the engineers was fully demonstrated , by the excellent showing lie made against a hiiui whose name ban been a tower of strength in organized labor for twcnty-llvo years. Mr. Woman expressed himself freely upon a subject which.Is of somewhat feverish interest to the wage cantors on the Union Pacific system at this particular stage of the panic when wages are at stake and the ' 'high live'1 receivership holds a surplus of trumps. .Six llrothcrlinnili Interested. ' ( irgamzcd labor in general on the Union Pacific system Is Intensely interested in the outcome of the receivership1 said Mr. Woman , with evident sincerity. "Them are six large brotherhoods with local branches , composed of men In train service , at present operating under schedules and contracts made under the management which existed prior to the appointnicnt of receivers. Whether or not thn present ad- minis' trillion will continue to recognize tills schedule and ratify the arrangements thus made is what keeps many of us guessing. I am Inclined to believe , however , that noth ing will bo done in the matter for some tlmo to , come , inasmuch as other sub jects are Just at present occupying the tlmo of th receivers and doubtless will keep tnem rather busy for quite u while. Their own salaries will have to bo fixed llrst , as I understand it , and I have every reason to believe that the eminent gentlemen will not cut the salaries of organized labor on the system , or adopt any measure which will tend to decrease the earnings of em ployes. The tact of the mat i ter is that the present income of employes is none too much to live upon. U'lillo it lias boon cited that the Union Pacitic pays better wages than some eastern lines , the fact should bo taken into flue con sideration that the cost of liv ing , especially west of Cheyenne , is much higher than it is lu the casi. The increased price of commodities rents and other expenses of living in the west as compared tothe east , eats up wasres with discouraging rapidity , and I do not think that tne boys could woric for any less than they are getting at present. The re trenchment iu salaries on the Union Pacilic was 'felt most keenly by ttie unorganized employes. The brotherhood en gineers on the system are paid on the mile age system , and naturally when business is slack their earnings are decreased by fewer trips. Old Schudulcs Will Continue. ' I have received assurances that the old schedules under which trainmen and telegraphers operate will bo con tinued for the time being a'nd I have 'every confidence tha't the receivers' will be fair with us. However , if an at tempt is made to smash the agreements now existing I am strongly inclined to the belief - , liof that the employes "will raise a general howl of discontent. As to the prgbablo outcome of this ucncral oojcction all along the line , should It occur. 1 am not prepared to state just now. Probably a committee , consisting of one from each organization , would bo appointed to confer with the receivers , and every eftort to iix up matters amicably but should the commit too not bo accorded recognition a sequel of indignation might terminate in a big flclit in the courts ou'a tie-up. 1 speak merely as an individual not iu an otllcial capacity on the subject. You can let it go at that , how ever. Just as I have spoken. "There are six brotherhoods on the system. This includes the engineers , lire- men , conductors , brakemen , switchmen and telegraphers , " continued Mr. Vromnn. "Of mis number five are federated , The engineers co-operate with the federated organizations. The shopmen are all well organized , including ' the machinists , holler makers , pattern makers , moldcrs , 'carpenters , Knights of Labor and trades unionists. The carmen also have an organization. It is safe to estimate the numerical strength of organized labor on the Union Pacific system nt 15,000 , who would doubtless resent any cut or reduction. Sentiment is against it , especially on the western linos. I sincerely hope that the receivers will bo able to untangle the knot in Union Pacilic affairs and pull the road through , but I do not bolie/o that it can successfully bo accomplished upon the fragments of trimmed pay chocks. .Men have got to got decent wages and take peed care of their families. The Northern Pa cific receivers , I see , contemplate another reduction of salaries on January 1. The outcome will bo watched with interest by Union Pacitic employes. "I do not want my remarks misconstrued as a defiance or a threat , " concluded Alri Woman , "but you can rest assured that any attempt to cut the wages of organized labor on the Union Pacific will r-ilso considerable discontent. The word 'discontent' covers n great uoal. " Speaking of the approaching state Irriga tion convention to bo held at Nort.i Platte next Tuesday , Mr. Woman was exuberant in his praise of the scheme nnd said that North Platte would l-do herself proud upon that occiiaion , " Union I'acHio OIllclalH In Conlurfinoo.

Iluin.Mr. Mr. Tnimbull's visit , as stated in an inter view published in Tun But : , was for the pur pose of ai ranging for the transfer'of the property comprising the Denver & Oulf road to Himself as receiver for the court and necessarily the details were found somewhat complicated. There wcro many questions considered during the morning conference which wont over for llnal agreement until the afternoon. The conference , however , was entirely harmonious and the Union Pacilic , as stated by an official , will still have an outlet from Julesburg into Denver with out having to resort to Its Cheyenne branch , which would make thu distance to Denver considerably longer. Mr , Trumbull , It was learned , was disposed to make tlito best ar rangements possible for the interests of his road as well us for the Union Pacific without which ho would be placed at considerable of n disadvantage , Ono thing is certain , there will not bo thu absolute segregation of in tercuts as some of the radical people of Den ver have been led to believe , out on the con trary tlioro will bo a close traffic arrange ment between the roads until the committee of reorganization can formulate a scheme to talio in all the roads whlcii hnvo , uutU'iiow , been a part of the Union Pacilic system. Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Anderson hud also u conference upon the question of a disposi tion of money collected by the Denver & Gull belonging to other roads , It was agreed that for a time at least this money should be turned over to the Union Pufitio and by it paid over to the roaui Interested.

Ho said : "The Interest on general mortgage bonds duo January 1 will bo paid , Jt seems hardly necessary to make this statement because doubts as to the payments have , in inv Judg ment , been created solely by suoculutore who have no substantial Interest in , the property. The Atohison company.owlng to the magnitude of Its system , has largo pay ments to make from tlmo to time , uml I have noted that whenever operators for short ac counts could discover the dates of thcso pay ments they have circulated reports calcu lated to throw doubt upon the ability of the company to meet them.

"The road , " said ho.

We insist thai the prose nt government of Hawaii has the same right to exist that the United States had after the successful revolution of 1770. In fact tno corruption and misman agement that brought about the revolution of January last wcro so flagrant as to bo un bearable and the late queen had planned tenet not only conllnuo her corrupt rnlo , but sot aside Iho constitution of the kingdom ana nltempted to Illegally promulgate a new one , disenfranchising many of ino most Intclll- pout citizens , nnd by her higli-handcd out rages destroyed the last hello of imiirovc- nient over tlio corrupt and Illegal aggression of the executive powersothat no alternative was left but to dcposo hur and establish an honest and capable government.

Crime Agiilnut Liberty. . "It has been assorted by the adherents of the Into queen that the president of the United States would forcibly , if necessary , ro-euthroiio the queen nnd establish her authority. Wo cannot believe President Cleveland has been so ill-advised , but should ho so decide we apncal to congress aiil ( the people of the United States to prevent so great a crime against liberty and good government. The right of revolution has been a well established method of deciding great wrongs and checking the encroachments of kings nnd despots generally and by no people has the right boon more generally acknowledged than by the American people , and in apply ing to that people , especially as we liavo right , truth and justice on our side , wo feel wo shall have a candid consideration of our claims of recognition.

Although there was comparatively lltllo bolllne , there was enough money changing hands to indicate that odds wore about oven and thai Slosion would bo Iho victor to night. The Student's ' defeat of SclmetTor on Tuesday night was doubtless In a largo measure accountable for the turn in tlio betting.
