THE ROSE

VALLEY

Tragedy uceubies the Public Mind

THE VARIOUS OPINIONS

What ought to Be Done-An Intense Strain of Suspense

Lxisiing. ~

The disclosures made at the Rose Valley

inquest as printed in THE GUARDIAN of yesterday created most intense and pain- ful interest in the City and Province. The demand for the paper was unusually great and a considerable increase of the regular daily edition was rendered necessary to supply it. In the hotels, railway Istation. on the trains and boats and wherever men and women meet together the mur- der was the principal topic of conversa tion.

Every one was asking what is being

done, or what is next to be done to find out and bring the guilty party or parties topunisnment. Some claimed thata re- ward ought to be offered, and regretted the absence of' Premier Fai quharson, lest it might delay the necessai y action. Ot- hers freely expressed the opinion that the inquest should n'ot have been completed so summarily, but that a. f urther and more exhaustive inquiry should have been made, adjourning the Coroner’s court from day to day until the last ves- tige of testimony as to the motive for the crime and all the circumstances surround-

disclosed Had the deceased lady any known enemies in or about the settle mont? Were there any tramps or sus picious characters seen about the McLeod premises or the settlement before or after the crime? Had any quarrel or disagree- ment taken place between the deceased and any of the members ofthe family or the nelghborsl These are some of the matters upon which the published evi dence does not show the inquiry to have been so full as might le desired

There were still othexs who asserted

that arrests should have been promptly made of any or all parties who were under suspicion, however slight Some went so far as to blame the authorities In no very mild terms for their dilatoriness or apathy in the matter. This was met by the statement that the coroner’s jury had rendered what was really an “open ver- dict” and had charged no one with the crime, and that until specific sworn in- formation was laid charging some one with the murder no warrant could issue. This in turn was met with the argument that if the Attorney General had given instructions to cause the disinterment of the victim’s body he should also' have ex- ercised his power to follow up vigorously the revelations of the inquest. -` Again the opinion was efxpressed_that_

expert services of a skilled pd exper- -ienced detective, oheer ought to be promptly employed and put at work. This opinion was accented in the presence ofa GUARDIAN representative, and the well-known retioence of' people in the country districts was pointed out as a reason for detective service. Other opin- ions were that it ls due to the fair fame _ot the peaceful community where the trag- edynoecurred, and of the entire Island as_ well that no stone should be left unturned to bring the facts to light and solve the awful mystery.

OE CAISSON SINKING

Some Idea or the Way the Work Will be Carried ou in the

HILLSBORO BRIDGE WHEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION

As Handed the Guardian by

a Charlottetown Gentleman

Who Takes a Great Interest in all Such Matters -Wood Will be Used Instead of Steel.

Out of hole that reached somewhere deep into the mysterious underground A came the head and shoulders of a man. He crawled painfully, like an angle worm, from the depths of an iron pipe set be- tween blocks of stone. Here, close at hand, a river flashed in the sunlight; there the many industries of a city’s water side hummed cheerily. But the man blinked and grimaced. His face was dirty and streaked; the oilskins, hat and hip-boots he wore were covered with mud. Climbing at last over the pipe’s edge, the little man, sturdy workmen though he was, actually needed a helping hand. as his knees gave unsteadilv under him.

One by one five men pulled themselves

out of the pipe or were helped over the edge. They landed on the stones, three shaky as to the knees. Only two-under sized but powerful young Swedes-came out erect and straight. The others needed copious draughts of coffee, black and odorious, brisk' walking, with the support of stalwart arms; to limber themselves. One had to be half carried, his legs semi~paralyzed, to a shanty-the “hospital”--laid on a cot, rubbed vigor- ouslv and dosed with ergot.

"We're pretty far down with that

caisson, an’ that’s a fact," went on Frank, the foreman. “I u~mldn’t like to tickle that depth m_vs»»li’." __

Across the river there was another blotch of whiteness, a pile of rough, gray. stone. Qhis _gud the _blocks._ these men ...sd it ...ui .. of the great bridge. Far under eachheap of stone, ninety feet below the surface of the river, lay a huge wooden box, sinking slowly into the mud. It vi as fren; out of one of these boxes that the men had just crawled.

Massive wooden framework, tier on

and it was on this frame work that the tons of stone rested.

The pipe reached down nearly all of

these ninety feet. It c-true to an end

and' Pick, sunt up in a box far below the earth‘s surfae---_ like a diver, breathing an- other air, without a diver‘s protection, is known to the trade as a“Sand Hog.” Many engineers think the term foolish, since these workers grub farmore frequently in mud than sand; but the name sticks for the men use. it themselves. In the field of labor a more distinguished title belongs -to the worker. Whenjhis union meets,he is a member of “ The Compressed Air and Foundation Workers’ Unionof Amerie a;” but when he works, he is just plain “Sand Hog." ' --

Here is the “trick” of the Sand Hog- his daily bread. The union these men have established has figured out definitely what each must get in the coin of the realm, the pay depending upon just what depth a man is working that day. In this strange trade the wear and tear on a man and the proportionof risk he is running is paid for; not what he ac- complishes in‘yards and bucketsful. Thus, when the caisson begins its descent the men get very much more than they would in the open air, though very good wages and short hours a caisson worker can at any time demand. '

The wage rate is one of the most inter-

esting things about these men. _Down to a depth of fifty nine feet(which means twenty-live and one half added pounds of air pressure to the square inch, an amount which does not greatly increase the difliculties of working) each man re-

“c¢"iw'?'Ei3'7$".>f,`v5'aL _`Eiiey,ea1nf*tIi€fsi~`¢issii ki 'dai-=

lar more. For this theman mustwork eight hours in_all, in two shifts of even length, with half an hour’s rest in betwe- ‘ en above ground, this half hour being in- cluded in the working time.

The air pressure increases in obedience

to a fixed rule as the caisson sinks. At fifty-five. feet it is twenty-five and one half pounds; at sixty-five, thirty pounds; at eighty, thirty-seven pounds; at' one hundred feet, forty-six and one half.

where the insi ie of the box began. a cavernous space ‘of shadow some six feet high and fifty feet square. Other pipes, led up to the outer world, traversed by buckets instead of men. This was the caisson’s "working chamber,” strange as to its atmosphere. Tliere were enormous braces and beams everywhere; the floor was a thick m iss of mud, the river`s bed

0ri?g'i.nall,y the box had had a bottom as

_yvell _'as a ton, 'ani sides. When

fit the unwleldly mass

_ ` its place and sun k in mud, its bulk included a temporary flooring. Once the first stones were laid atop of the framework, however, and “the shoe,” or “cutting edge,” as the steel rim at the bottom ofthe sides is called, took Brin hold of the river bed, the floor- ing was removed, leaving only the river’s 3-rocks and slime. '

Here was the first step inthe process

of bridge building, the sinking of the piers. Stone foundation and steel tower later to be set upon it must somlhow be carried idown to rest on bed-rock. To carry the colossal weight down, without the swerviug of a hair, was the mission of the caisson, the bottomless box; and it was the task of these men, by digging in its depths, to lower the caisson and the pier overhead inch by inch.

As the weight of stone increased the

crept deeper into the mud, fresh courses of stone would be added to the -weight above. A foot a week only might mark the pier’s progress towards bed- rock. But men were needed in the shadowy chamber below it-men with shovel, pick and drill, cutting, loosening around the edges, sending mud rocks to

' the surface.

_ This, it must be understood, is in addit~ ion to the ordinary atmospheric pressure of fifteen pounds. The Sand Hog tolling lat sixty live feet depth is thus called by ` scientific men “a worker in three atmoe- pheres.”

From fifty-tive to sixty five feet below

the surface the Sand Hog receives $3- a day for six hours work, with theihalf hour of rest allowed in between the two

feet the pay is _$3.53 a day for four hours work; from eighty to ninety feet, S335 for three hours work, the foreman re- ceiving one dollar a day additional in every case. At this depth eveni the dnest strongest Sand Hogs find great dimculty and much physical danger in working. Between ninety and one hundred feet the strength of the best _is well taxed. This depth brings s. nayfto the Sand Hog of $4 for eighty niiiiutes work, in twoshifts of forty minutes each, this much being an exhausting day’s labor.

No accident or ill may happen in a cais- son; the work may progress, mechanical- ly, most successfully, and yet any pres- sure worker may come out, any day, _a .zripplefor life. At high pressures the danger is never far distant. The best have to be walked and rubbed diligently as they ‘ascend fromhshcse depths. Now and again a man finds as he reaches theouter air that his limbs fall un ier

` him, that he is paralyzed. '

In the caisson of the Brooklyn Bridge Colonel Roebliug devised ingenious “ivaterlocks” to carry over the waste dug from the river bottom, but these have since been replaced by the pneumatic bl0_W-PIM. by buckets that are hoisted up an air-lock of their own, and _the pul- someter. The best retarded - methods nowadays is the string of huge buckets that, once out of the caisson, dump their cargo and immediately desce`nd.These are both simple and effective. For the great

The _ air exhausted fl`0m the DIDG. the water mixed with mud is sucked up and then discharged above The Sand Hogs shovel mud over to this hollow at times; _on their hands and ‘ knees they push water and slime within the pipe’s range. I » The pulsometer is a newly perfected ma. chlne that serves an especial purpose. In the large caissons it often happens- that one end is cut away by the Sand Hogg more than another. Perhaps at the fqp. ther end there are great rocks awaiting drilling. At all events one end is lower and a sump is formed. This is simplya caisson’s lowest part.

A trick or two is needed by Sand Hogs and their engineers. It is weary work. , yet romance has not left the world yet. No machine can take the' place of these gi-ubbers in mud and slime-the pressure-' workers. » _
