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.

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.

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
We ‘A
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-

nowadays is the string of huge buckets
that, once out of the caisson, dump their

both simple and effective. For the great

the large caissons it often happens- that
one end is cut away by the Sand Hogg
more than another. Perhaps at the fqp.
