A oaiaaon of tin new bridge now under construction butween Lonisville and Jiflert>nville> gave way, ami the workmen smpioyrd en it were crushed to death by atone and timber. Only four of the eighteen men in Ihe caisson escaped. The raisson was one hundred yards from the K-ntucky shore. Ai Ihe workmen of the pumping station were looking for the ram in tliaraiison to put off in lliur boats, leaving woik for the night, they suddenly aw the low dark structure disappear in dashing while waves, and heard the ruar tf a furious maelstrom. A runner was die- patched to the life-saving station, and three akiffs pulled to the scene f the wreck. A quad of police wan a'so lent to aid in Ihe work of recovery. 1 he coroner was calie- 1 and went with a corps of physicians. The ite of the bridge is at the upper end of the oil) , just below Towbrad Island. Within an hour from the disap[>earanoe of tbo eafaaon :<.000 people were on the shore, and trained iheir ayes trying to sea something of the wreoksgH. Dozens of boats were plyim: about over the snot where the oaii on had stood, and lights dauoed to and fro with them, but Ihere wai no trace of Ihe maisive strncturu of stone and limber. The water rolled sullenly but smoothly down from ihe cofferdam above the pumping barge below where Ihe caisson had stood. The grief stricken wives and molnors ol the victims wre among tke spectator*.

A Friday's Chicago dt s patch iayi : This afttrnoon Attorneys Win;, Donahoe a;.c Forrest filed a motion for a n- w trial in the casti of Coughlin, Barko, O Boliivan anil KUI./.I', convicted of the murder of 1'r Crotiiu. The motion wai filed in accord anco wilh the order of Judge McCui null belt re whom the arguments will be male on Monday. The molion assigns thirty nine cases of error in the rulit-gi of Jnd b e McCouutll during the trial, Ihise grounds o! alleged error embrace every point oou listed by the attorne)! for Ihe delence, an, range f rum an objection to tho court's over ruling the motion to ijuath the indict meuti up to the aktertiou that the defence has since Ihe trial discovered new evidence whiah intuit! them to a new tiial. Th flrbt error alleged is that the court erred in over-ruling the motion to quash the indict ment made on behalf of tach of the de fn.dauts. The denial ot Coaghlin's mo- tion for a separate trial is made the bans of four alleged errors, them being a aepar ate oouut for each defendant. The refusal of the cuurt to permit the defence to show that Messrs. Mills, Ingham and Hynes were employed in the prosecution by private parliei, who were actuated by improper moiives, is alleged to na-.e be0 prejudicial to the de fendanli. The court allowing these three lawyers to antist in tbi- prosecution is said to bn an error. Mr. Uyuea is made the subject of a special count in the motion, in which h is aaid to have been moved by a spirit of personal hostility towards Cooghlin, Burke and O'r uliivan, and was not fit to act ai a proaeomiug attorney. The over-ruling of the challenge for cause preferred by the defendants to a loag list of jurymen whose names are given in the motion, ti laid to be an error. Side n marks made by the Siate Attorney while examining juror* are charged to have been improper. Judge Longenecker's opening statement to the jury is oiled as an error and charaoteriztd as improper and illegal and prejudicial to the rights of the d> f> i ,1 anls. Another alleged error was the failure of Ihe court to enforce the rule excluding witnesses for the State from the court- room during the trial. Il is charged as an error that the prosecution wai permitted to in- troduco as evidence and exhibit to the jury ihe clothing, instruments and hair of Dr. Cronin, the falae teeth in the trunk, and all material evidence in the case. The intro- duction of Dr. Crouiu'a knivei after the Stair had closed its case is said to have been an error. Objection ii made to a num- ber of the instructions given to Ihe jury by the court. The verdiot is pronounced con- trary to law, and not justified by the svi- in*. and finally il ii laid : ' The tie- Itndanli and each oi.e of them have dis covered evidence which entitle! them to a new trial."
