BRIDGE GONE
♦ -
Unusual Flood and Ice Jam
Sweeps Away the Piers and
Leaves Deck on Flats.
II. E. Revelle returned last evening
with the mail from Hope and Sunrise.
He left Seward the 11th inst. making
tlie round trip in a little less than
eight days. He reports that the new
| government bridge built this summer
over Canyon Creek at the Forks
twelve miles from Sunrise, has been
swept away Ice formed in the river
j during the cold weather in October,
, and then came a thaw and heavy rains
which broke up the ice and carried it
down in a jam against the bridge.
The piers were cut off from the foun
dation and the bridge carried intact
over on the Hat and there stranded.
The bridge had been exceptionally
well built under the direction of Anton
Fide this summer, and would have
stood for any number of vears had
! there not come this very uncommon
gorge of ice which no bridge could
have withstood. The water and ice
rose ten feet above high water mark.
The trail, Mr. Revelle says, is hard
to travel owing to the recent rains and
snow. From mile .*> on the Alaska
j Central there is snow as far as mile 14.
From there to R4 there is no snow.
On the Sunrise trail snow is found as
i far as Lynx creek and then the ground
is bare all the way to Sunrise. Turn
. again arm is entirely free from ice and
| may be crossed with a boat at any
place.
There was a light mail from Hope
and Sunrise, about forty pounds. The
heaviest mail is on the outgoing trip,
which runs from 100 pounds up. On
this trip Mr. Revelle took out 140
pounds.

KAISER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Attempt Made to Wreck Train
Bearing Emperor of Germa
ny on His Way to Kiel. |
i
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Berlin, Nov. 19—An attempt was
made to take the life of Emperor Wil
liam of Germany. The eir.peror was
in his private car making the trip
from Hamburg to Kiel. Just before
reaching the city the railroad leaves
the level stretch of country through
which it passes on the way north from
Hamburg, and enters a dee]) cut be
tween wooded hills. As it was known
that the train bearing the private car
of the emperor would pass through
this delile unusual precautions were
being taken to guard against accidents
I and any possible attempt upon his life,
j The train was brought to a stop at the
; the entrance of the pass and men sent
j ahead to see that the track was clear
I of obstructions. In rounding a sharp
j curve about 100 feet from where the
i stop had been made, the inspectors i
j discovered a package of dynamite:
! carefully placed on the track. There
’ were [enough explosives in it to have
| wrecked the entire train and killed
i all the passengers. It was only this
unusual precaution that saved the life
; of the emperor.
The wouldbe assassins are supposed
i to have placed the dynamite on the
I track and made their escape under
cover of the protection offered by the
| wooded hills.
The steamers Pennsylvania and
Portland arrived this morning about
3 o’clock. The Portland left in about
in hour for the westward.
Frank Watson, James Hamilton,
Duke Harris and Chris. Hansen re
turned from Valdez on the Pennsyl
vania.

the Portland. He will go over the
trail to his mining claims in the in
terior.
Oak Olson and Dave Studler were
passen gers on the steamer Portland.
