The bridge so long building across the Ohio JUver between the cities of Louisville and jjefleraonville was supposed to be bearing completion when, yesterday morning the great span fell, carrying some forty or fifty oula Into eternity with its down-rush.

The iron-work had not quite reached the supporting pier when the underpinning, the ''false support," gave way, carrying the vast overlying structure with it. The awful scenes ac-vompaByipg tbe catastrophe are given in stir news columns, and are harrowing almost be-yn4 description. It ha been a most unfortunate bridge. Hie greet lea of Uvea-some sixteen or twenty in eoisstta accident will recalled; and there have been many other disastera in tbe buUdlng, minor only in comparison with these most awful ones.

Upon the yna aide it 'ia claimed that the underatrueture wa flimsy, and upon tb. otbae that it was an "ant of trod," brought ahout by an unusually high wind.

The rules and practice which bad prerailed in our highest legislative body through a century of glorious history were suddenly found to be obstructive, old fashioned and ailly because they Interfered with the destruction oi one half of our money resources. Promises were copious and gushing.

The co try was fa bound into prosperity like a cannon ball. Money was to be plenty, investments aafe and profitable and employment abundant We hear nothing of these delight bow. The reward of haste does not appear. The rushing financiers could not wait fox a. regular session of Congress, but threw up their bate when a call for a special session, in ankUnmmer waa iaraed.

Those who are demsrxV ing baaU do not atop to think of the trexnend-ens mistakes that may show Utemselves te the operation of a txriff measure passed under whip and spar. Do those wbo are clamoring for spwedy actios know what a gigantic ianst-lectaal etrwetnre a well-proportioned and just tariff law is? The framing of a tariff bill, whether from a revenue or protection standpoint, ie a work for statesmen, and to adapt the tariff to the shifting tunes and cirrum-etances bas ever been a task that called for the best thought of our public men. We ere confident that sensible tariff reformer want to do anything that ie not right; but it Is certainly pertinent to call his attention to the necessity for fully considering affairs as they are now. Who asks for a stampede? Certainly not the President of the United States, who by virtue of bis office stand in the relation of bead of the Democratic party, and wbo sounded the tariff alarm in a famous message written during his first Administration.

There is nothing in the recent mewage of Mr. Ctxrvsutxo, nor ia sny of his public utterances, to indicate that be is in hurry. He appears rattier to b. quietly surveying affairs, hearing ail aides before going to the fight in earnest, lie demands no violent or unr-on- aidered action by the House, but courts a full exchange of viewa between the people whose bciine-w is to be affected by tariff revision and the gentlemen who are acting as jurymen and must render a verdict. Those Keuators and Representatives who may rely on Mr.

CucrrxAsn for guidance or guardianship in their official action bai no ground to presume that they will be spurred to an undignified and dangerous gait. The Democratic party can well afford to be cautious. Caution, in the prevent emergency, is not a sign of weakness or indecision. The party of JrsTzitao and Jvkaox is a patient one, but it has the great attribute that tbe world' admires that of firmnnw, when firm nen should be displayed. It bas always bad thoughtful and sagai ious leaden, eine it would long bare closed its career.

It has not been by precipitate action that it ever won a victory. It has triumphed, when it has been victor, through wisdom, patience, firmness and the justice of its eanse. We are willing to trust the tariff or any other great question with tbe tin trammeled and deliberate repre sentatives of the Democracy, but we prouwt against a breaking up of thoe time-tried and time-honored policies which have gained for that party nvpect, confidence and obedience. fJentleniVn who insist that the Houe shall pass a bill before acquiring even snpernVial knowledge of its many features seem to forget that when it gets through that body it will be only half way in the legislative course it must mn if it becomes a law. Time will be gained by perfecting the bill in advance.

We ak' no tariff reformer, however ardent he may be, to sacrifice bis views, or to ce laboring for their ultimata triumph. Hi position is not weakened Ly patience and thouffbtulneitt, but advanced. Anger and Impulse should play no part with him. He can be positive and effective without haste Snd the evils which generally follow in ita wake. The conservative element of the Democratic party, and people who look at the tariff aa a buainess question that 1 not closely adapted to party contention, do not ask Congressmen to abandon their principles or break their pledges, but to consider well their action on thi all-important question.

Alas. Whaij in a Name? There are names in Virginia that were not born to die names that "till the sounding trump of fame." and that have been greaUT In popular estimation than the -achievement of their wearers; names that can carry families through a dozen generations with their luster undimnied. Huch a name is Lke. It was born, by heroes of the Revolution, and by Idol of the late C'onfederai-y. The mention of it brings remembrance of Light Horee HttRVyWho wns in at thi birth of our great and of Kohf.rt who went down at the head of the "Lost Cause." respected even by his enemies in war, and admired by Christian people of all countries.

To skip details and come directly to the present, the leading representative of this groat family in Virginia now is undoubtedly General Fitzhi-gb Lee, a man of generous penon, sparkling magnetism, spreading in oratory, engaging in personal intercourse, magnificent in horsemanship, typical in war and running over in pride of his native State. Thene flowing and partial terms de ribe the man who has been Governor of the State celehrpted for the paternity of lYesifJents. and in which were rocked the' greatest minds of the attempt to rearrange the map in lol. These fit words, fellow-citizens, apply to the here who. astride a noble steed and clad in the uniform of the suction for which he offered his life in war, rode gallantly at the head, of the Virginia contingent at the first Inauguration of Mr.

Cleveland, manfully laying aside the prejudices and hates of war, and joining conspicuously in a celebration that was typical, not only of triumph of the party lo which be belonged, but of an indis soluble fnion to which he now gives uti re served allegiance. All this is descriptive, too, of the man who has shaken more hands acrons the bloody chasm than any other person. North or South. We remember, ra passant. that on some appropriate occasion he turned the hose on the blood of the civil war rom the rostrum of the Cincinnati Chame tf Commerce.

But why discourse on the name of FiTxnroii Lex? Why multiply words about the first scion of a family that is undying in the annals of the Old Dominion? Who knows him not? What would you hear if a Ftrangcr should ak anywhere in this goodly heritage of Kepublic-an institutions, who is the greatest man in Virginia? Bar nothing just "all round' great as to publio fame, gallantry in war. service to tbe State, intense aristocracy of family in short, all that goes to make a cock of tbe walk in Yirginia? Loud shouts oi "Fitzhtgh And yet, brctbren ye hesitate to write it FrrZHraH Lxa bas beei defeated in a Iemo-cratic caucus at Richmond for a United States Sonatorship. We have delayed comment on this matter till time ha developed that the announcement was no joke of the funny Southern correspondents, and involved no eccentricity of the telegraph wires. We pause tor breath, and to drop a tear. Yea, FrrzauoR Lag waa defeated.

And by whom? Oh, that we could reproduce in lan guage a pitying sigh. Here's "the respect that makes calamity of so long life." He was routed, "horse, foot and dragoon," by a man of the plebeian name of Mautlk, who probably "never act a squadron in tbe field, nor tbe division of a battle know than a by man who is so far from the "first families" that people are asking "Who in hades is MsBTigf by a man whose name is that of a forked-tailed bird that feeds en the lesser insect and lives in tbe chinks and cracks, of bouses and barn. Tbere is nothing to recommend this bird. It plays no part of consequence In the affairs of the world that we know of. We are thus specific as to the bird because, for the present, it is the only guide wa have to eenator-elect mabt.

Mr. Msnr may prove to be an excellent gentleman and gn able statesman, but in the moment of our grief over the humiliation of Less the bird will have to "go" as marker, so to speak. There ia another feature oi this overthrow of a great man that is hard to say. But let us fill the bitter cup te the brim, gulp it all once, and then stop drinking. This name Uttm is also that of a man the Jay hawk era of the new State of Kansas, where a man belonging to a "first family" would be gibbeted, have sent to the Senate.

And these two Mssnxs will look out of the chinks it) the walls of the Senate Cham-be and Impudently answer "II era," almost within ear-shot of the proud State that has toade Lkx "feaa been."

The new and tnking information that rc re'arr emitlt gave out in his speech waa bis statement Iba the unconditional repeal of the purchasing da as. of the frbermsn act was full of benefits, especially for the people of Georgia.

Sait To Be Brought Against Gabriel Dirr Compel an Accnnntin' Fr Orer Twelre Years.

Deed Produced Is Alleged To Have Been Grossly Tampered With. One of the startling allegations that will be made ln a sensational petition that will this morning be filed ln the Probate Court is that a deed to certain property in thiscity bas been altered and a fraudulent entry made In the County Recorder' offlne. The defendant to tbe suit will he Gabriel Dirr, of Cummincrnie, the real estate dealer and a recent candidate for. Magistrate on the Derrfbcratic county ticket. Tbe plaintiff will be Philip Isrnner, guard ian for "Lady Mary" Crancis, a noted charac terofSOyeara ago.

now an inmate of Long- view Asylum. The suit is to compel him to reuder an ac counting of the estate of tbe woman since 1S1, at which time he began to act as a col lector of rent for the Francis woman, then known as Mrs. John Eads. She waa tbe ow er of three lots in the Mohawk subdivision, on Browne street, and oue near Laugland street. Cummlnsville.

In a couple ot these she had but a life Interest, and at her death they will revert to the heirs of the persen from whom tht-y were purchased Surrounding the suit are circumstances that render It by far One of the tnuat interesting of incidents in a lepal XD COWMIRCTAI, WAT, "Lady Mary was. a noted virago, and tbe records of the work-house show Innumerable commitments because of her wild and" eerie capers, hi he was the terror of the residents of the village, and the police had a hearty and wholesome respect for her. It was thought her vlclousnes was due to a love for strong drink, but when, in 1HX3, she was declared In sane and removed to Longview Asylum, those who knew her realized thcirmlstake. She had been married In the seventies to John Eurts. but he left her after a brief period, and In 1SS2 or 1S83 procured a divorce.

In 18H1 Vincent He, who died last year. and who wa at one time a member ot the Board of Education, opened negotiations for the purchase of one of the lots on Browne street to be used a residence property. It is situated st Xo. 1 Browne street, and Mr. Hess' family still live there.

Mr. Dorr acted as the agent of Mrs. Eads. A deed was drawn up, the purchase price being $1,000. It was signed by Mrs.

Eads. but, as I now alleged. not by her husband. At that time it wa necessary for both marital partners to sign instrument of this character in order to make them valid and binding. The transaction was never completed, how ever, although it Is said Mr.

Hwi repeatedly tried to bring about such an end. Mr. Dorr, as collector of rents, made number ot ex planations, which had the effect of delaying the consummation or thi rrrAL. Afterward Mrs. Eads was divorced and re- Stored to her maiden name ef Francis.

When she was committed to Longview Asylum no guardian wa appointed to take charge of lirff estate. Mr. Dirr still continued to collect tbe rent during all ot these yean. Last year Mr. Hes paired away.

HU family, being still de sirous of closing up th deal, consulted their attorney, Mr. Kenner. Upon the discover of the peculiar status of the property, that gentleman, on the 14th of Vov.mbcr, was made guardian of "Lady Mary," and at once de-manned an rtccountingof rent from Mr. Dirr. It did not come aud legal proceedings were threatened.

On November 27 Mr. Dirr fame to County Recorder tieorpa Holiwon's ofhre and left a deed for recoid. It wna filed at 6 p. Ihe written acroes 'he face waa publish."
