the Catastrophe.
A despatch from Quebec says: The

whurh was in course of construction

lapsed Inde on Thursday afternoon, car-

we.rk.'rs and riietcrs.
The collapse of the immense struc-
ture. with the great !ess of life it en-
tailed. has caused the greatest excite -
anent here and at Levis, and it is dif-
ficult 10 get correct (details. It is thought'
that the loses of life will exceed 70. Tett
bodies have been recovered, 10 badly
wounded men were picked up in the
river, and there are 70 missing, all of
whom are, no doubt, drowned. The
Lrtdge. which is being constructed by
144 Phoenixville Bridge Company f
Philadelphia, wns begun about seven
years ago, and was expected lo be fin-
ished in 1909. The estimated cost •d
the bridge was 310,000,000, :rest of
wlucit was subscribed by the Federal
Government, Provincial Government
rind City of Quebec.
Only a few of the big Maff of work-
men who are engaged in various duties
escaped. The collapse. thought to have
Leen due to the overkxiding of the su-
34rs'.rucUu'e with inateriaLs, occurred at
111: hour "when the workmen were alt
in thew places, p1ciiminar•y to tlnishing
the work for the day.
When the fall of the ghat structure
came, the big structural work with
which it was bong built prevented
many of the workmen from drowning
tit the SI. Lawrence. Those who wore
not shuttled by the gloat tumble seiz-
ai1 the big steel girders which were car-
ried to the river bottom, and were thus
saved from drowning.

completed bridge will have 33,C00 tons

timated to cost $7,000,000.
The plans were commenced in 1897.
The Foulh shore piers were coin -pi -end
four years ago, and since that lime 210
feet of steel superstructure was built
c< iinectieg the shore pier to the anchor
Fier. 11 is this anchor pier that col-
lapsed.
Tho anchor arrn, 400 feet nbove the
river, was completed in July last year,
and one-fourth of the superstructural
work on the bridge, tar 710 feel, finished,
rind Ibis cantilever extension from the
south side was then begun. On the
south side of the river fully ?,000 tons
of steel find been erected, rising to a
height of 360 feel in the lowest top
parts, and 400 feet at the centre part
or anchor pier.
The two centro pillars are 315 feet
high, weigh 518 tons each, and are to
held each one-half of the cantilever an-
chor and one-half of the suspension
sprue. Their ot•na►nental caps are to be

The flooring of the bridge over which
the traffic will cross is 1130 feet above
the river level, so that ships with the
highest mats moving up and down the
