The Quebec Bridge was begun
about seven years ago and it was to
be finished in 1909. Subsidies had
;been granted by the Federal and Pro

Quebec, and the estimated cost of the
work was $10,000,000.
The southern extension oi the
'bridge, which collapsed, was rapidly

'that an earthquake had occurred.

COLLiSlCS OCCURS AT CROSSING
Acclnt Happened on Steep- Grade
and rssengers Snr the Cur "Was
Going at a Rate of Fifty Miles
an Hour.
Canandaigua. N. Y. Dr. George
Waldron, a venerable physician of
Rochester, took three of his oldest
women patients for a health-giving
auto jaunt in the country. At the
"Fresh Hour Crossing," four miles
from here, the machine was struck
by an express trolley car of the Roch
ester and Easton Railway, and all
four were Instantly killed.
Another woman patient, who was
to have joined the auto party at the.
crossing, alighted from the trolley
car to step upon the body of the doc
tor. It is said she will die from the
shock.
The dead are:
Dr. George Waldron, fifty-four, No.
408 Plymouth avenue, Rochester.
Mrs. uatnarine arnswortn , seventy-five,
No. 11 Eagle street, Roch
ester.
Mrs. William Scandling, sixty-
seven, Hopewell Hamlet.
Mrs. Jane Hobbs, seventy, of Hope
well Hamlet.
Dr. Waldron. one of the oldest
medical men in Rochester, numbered
among his patients the richest and
best families of the city and the
countryside for miles around. As
one of the old school of medicine, he
beweved in the "fresh air cure as
much as in drugs, and frequently
took his patients driving through the
rural districts to add the finishing
touch to his treatment.
A month ago he bought an auto
Thinking he had mastered it, he in
vited three aged women to ride with
him to Canandaigua and back.
"It will mean ten years of life to
you," he said, and bundled them into
the machine.
The thirty-mile ride to Hopewell
and part of the return were made
without accident. But near the
"Fresh Hour crossing' tho auto
balked and the doctor could only get
it running in little spurts feM cranfcy
He blamed his inability to keep it
going on the lack of implements in
the tool box. When the aged women
became fidgety, he jocularly took
from beneath his seat the box of
surgical instruments he always car
ried and, with the aid of the scalpel
and a pair of "nippers, tinkered the
engine into running form.
Mounting the chauffeur's seat, Dr.
Waldron drove along until he reached
the crossing of the trans-state trolley
system and the State road.
Cars on that line dash past at sixty
miles an hour and one of them ap
proached at the speed limit just as
the auto stopped again, half-way
across the tracks.
Before the physician or the fright
ened women could cry out, the trolley
car had hie them. Splinters of the
machine were hurled hundreds of feet
in all directions. Its occupants we.e
thrown into a nearby pasture and
against fence and telegraph poles.
When the car had been stopped, a
hundred yards beyond, its panic
stricken passengers crowded out and
v, eat back to find all the auto party
dead. Among these passengers was
Mrs. Leviza Baker, of Rochester, who
stepped upon the body of her physi
cian, which' lay beside the car. She
fainted from the shock.
Dr. Waldron'c neck had been
broken and his skull was crushed:
every bone was broken in the bodyof
Mrs. Farnsworth and the bodies of
Mrs. Scandling and Mrs. Hobbs were
so mangled that their husbands could
not identify them until late at night.
All the bodies were put aboard a spe
cial car and taken to Canandaigua.

rendered against the defendant com
pany, it being condemnQ-not only to
pay $5,000,000 damages, the calcu
lated cost to the Government of sub
duing the revolution, bit also to pay
other sums to be fixed by a commis
sion of experts and which may very
likely amount to $10,080,000 more.
The present judgment is appealable
to the Superior Court and from there
to the Court of Cassation. The sen
tence announced by Judge Juan Bir
erno, of the Civil Court of First In
stance, closes with these words:
- "For these reasons, and adminis
tering justice in the name of the Re
public and by authority of law, this
complaint is declared to be well
founded, and in consequence the Nev

demned to pay the sum of 24,178.

of the erogations madji by the Na

suppressing the revolution, as has
been proven in the records,-and also
to reimburse the Nation, according to
a just assessment by experts for the
following damages and injuries
"1. The discredit which, because
of the war, the Venezuelan nation
may have suffered in the conception
of other nations with whom relations
of an international or mercantile or

M2. The loss of Ven&zuaian citi

185.45 bolivars in 190j3. All of whicn
is established by proofs appearing in
the reeords.
'Inasmuch as, in the judgment of
this Court, there does not seem to
have been any imprudence on the
part of the defense, it m declared that
there is no special condemnation in
costs." I
It was from American witnesses
and from evidence taken before
American Judges in the United States
courts that the Venezuelan Govern

proof of the part alleged to have been
played by the asphalt comp ny in the
Matos revolution, the furnishing of
the money with which to start the
