Prohibition of short span Bridges:

Prohibition OF short Span Bridges:
The Ohio Legislature has finally pro-
hlbited the erection, at any point on the
Ohio river, within the jurisdiction of the
State, of a bridge not having at least a
channel span of four hundred feet, I'M
der penalty of ten thousand dollars.
This is excellent. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad has not been as ready or
as successful with its money at Column
bus as at Washington, or it would not
have been thus checkmated. But is the
ten thousand dollar penalty large
enough2 Cannot the powerful monopo-
ly which SO skillfuliy managed to post
pone Congressional legislation on this
subject in order that it might get the
opportunity to fOrestall further legisla-
ton by actually building a couple OF
short span bridges this summer, well
afford to go on with its we'll advanced
work at Bellaire and Parkersburg, and
pay the penalty. Will the Baltimore
company give up its darling sch eme Tor
twenty thousand dollars 1t would cost
1t much more to build four hundred
feet spans than to pay the tine Tor
building bridges With the shorter span.

STRANGE STORY.
An Old Chair Afflicted with Neuralgia
Ine sitter Affected simultaneously.

xhe sitter Affected simultaneously.
From, ST. TGuIS lLu0d=inc.
Prochaska, hoeminant Psychologist,
used to mention, in one of his lectures
how, travelling in Bavaria, he put up ut
Il small inn at Tetschen Brod, where, be-
| ing weather bound, he passed his days
| in writing. Not liking the meagre &C.
| commodatious of a little village inn, he
begged that at least they would provide
him with comfortable arm chair. All
ter some delay, large, high backed,
old leathern throne was placed in his
! room, with many injunctions to treat it
| carefully. He Welcomed the annexa.
ton with delight, and at once proceeded
to avail himself of its comforts. Scarce
ly, however, had he been seated in it
half an hour, when he was Seized with
violent pain in the back of his neck,
which extended gradually down the
spine. These pains left him after he
went 10 bed, and returned when he re-
sumed his place In the chair next MORN
ing. Sometimes they came spasmodi-
cally, and forced him to cry out; some
times they began slightly, and increas-
ed in severity, gradually engaging one
nervous centre after another, and
causing intense suffering. But all the
symptoms would slowly subside on re-
moval from the chair, simultaneously
returning when he went back to it..
There was scarcely form of neuralgia
he did not experience. The facial
nerves were constantly the seat OF suf-
fering, and his sciatic agoDies were ter
rible. He examined the chair CAREFUL
ly and thoroughly. Heripped open the
leather covering. and he Investigated
the hair stu11ing beneath. Hetested the
varnish on the wood, and, in fact, left
nothing undone that might throw light
on the curious influence of evil this an
tlque piece OF furniture possessed, but
to no purpose. Nothing came of all his
inquisition, and hewas driven to seek
If the history OF the chair could afford
any explanation of these phenomena
To his amazement he learned that his
landlady had borrowed the chair from
a doctor in the village. He had used it
for years in his study, and in it some
hundreds of patients had undergone the
various operations OF surgery. The
we'll worn arms, showing where agon-
lied hands had ,grasped convulsiVely
the patched leather, attested the VIC
lence which had attended these strug-
giles. 81 bought the vicious old seat,
and had it hacked up before my eyes
and the fragments thrown ainto the
Elbe," said the professor, "but the les
son ittRught me have never forgot
