roL1cEMAs's STORY.
Coming downtown the other day on the
Sixth avenue line q policeman riding on tue
front platform of the ear related the following
good story: An officer in Ills precinct paced his
beat one night with special subject of domestic
anxiety in the shape Of an expected increase OF
lis family before the arrival of the relief platoon.
He found an intoxicated individual lying on the
ground ut tile very point where his beat ended
and that Of another policeman began. Now, 1t
fortunate man lying there in the cold, aud if he
stook him in y he would certainly hare to ap-
pear the next morning before the police nngis-
trate, and perhaps lose some hours in waiting:
Knowing this he gently lifted the "drunlS and
disorlcrly'' just over the line Of demarkation,
SO that the other active mid intelligent NJ. T.
might ful him, duly convey Him to, and charge
him at, the station, and be in attendance carly
ut the Polite Court. Then this good man re-
srtncl his tramp, wondering, no doubt, whether
he would some time have to buy the expected
one pair Of rcd-toppcd boots or doll baby.
But wien Policeman No. blank came back to
the end OF his beat, and found tile drunkard
lying within his jurisdiction, he very 1inccre-
lnoniously replaced linn on ''the spot where he
originally fell" The rest OF the night was
mainly spent by these two officers III hosting
the fellow over the frontier, until finally he had
SO fur recovered from his debaucli that when
they got back to the cnd Of their beats he was
gone &. G.

The BROOKLYN Bridge.

The East river bridge, from New
York over TO Brooklyn, seems likely to
meet with more formidable trouble than
has yet beset it. The bridge is by no
means finished, and success is doubted
by many, as a vast amount of money
has been sunk in the affair. A new
bridge is projected, to cross at Seventy
seventh street, resting its center on
Blackwell's island. From the large
number of designs and estimates which
have already been made, it appears that
the bridge will not cost over SO, 500, 900.
1t will be a private affair, and is de-
signed especially for traffic, SO that
through connection with Brooklyn by
the Long Island road may be made
from the Grand Central depot without
change of cars. There will be carriage
and pedestrian ways, and elevators at
each end for raising passengers to its
level, which will be 1876 feet above the
river channel. 1t is expected to be
finished in two years.-Neau York Letter.

Curious Matrimonial Complication.

Recently the possessor of house,
two acres of land, wife and four chill
dren, residing in the town of Granville,
Washington county, N. Y, became jeal-
GUS of a younger brother who was
frequent visitor. The husband remon-
strated, but to no avail, and separation
was at last agreed upon. At this junct-
ure the younger brother came to the
rescue, and the compromise was in this
wise: The husband agreed to relinquish
all claim upon the wife, his children
and the homestead, while the younger
brother assumed the necessary response
bility. The brother and forsaken wife
went to Whitehall, and were there united
in marriage. A few days elapsed, when
husband No. l put in an appearance
again. He solicited an interview with
his wife, reminded her of the love of
other days, and besought her to return.
She found it impossible to resist the
ardent appeal, and husband No. 2, I'M
able to interfere, consented to their de-
parture, he meanwhile retaining pos
session of the house and two acres.

THE SECRET.

Said Damon unto Phyllis, "Let me whisper in your
ear:
would fain impart secret that no other soul may
hear"
Said Phyllis unto Damon, And why whisper
We're aone
You had better tell your secret in an ordinary
tone"
"But, Phyllis, little Birds they say, are sometimes
tell-tale-tits;
One cannot be TOO cautious in divulging precious
bits"
3" But Damon, this is nonsense, for there's not
bird about;
Besides, can't keep secrets, and sure TO let IT
out"
"Yet, Phyllis, tits a secret that but concerns us
two;
dare say IL to myself much less speak loud
TO you"
+" Well, Damon, you may whisper, since you decline
10 speak;
But promise first, to keep your lips some distance
from my cheek"
Then Damon gave his promise, and he whispered
soft and low;
The secret seemed TO please her, but its purport
none can know.
" Dear Damon" was the maids reply-and all that
could be heard
at won't be very angry If you do not keep your
word |"

The Ashtabula Bridge.

b. +. Bowen, Thomas II. Johnson
and John Graham, civil engineers en-
ployed by the Ohio Legislative commit
tee to investigate the Ashtabula railroad
disaster, have submitted sworn state
ment of facts ascertained by them.
After referring to their calculation on
the relative strength of different parts
of the bridge, and their observations ut
the wreck, they submit the following
conclusions
First-That all the tension members
had very large factors of safety, and
were abundantly able to sustain all the
strain that could possibly come upon
them in this bridge.
Second-That all the compression
members, except the counter-braces
were deficient in capacity, having very
small factors of safety.
Third-Considered with reference to
the location of the break, it appears
that the weakest point in the braces was
at and near the break, and that the weak
est point in the top chord was at the
center. Though the top chord at the
point of failure does not show state of
security much greater than that of the
braces, the probability is that the braces
failed first, and thereby involved the
failure of the top chord also, but mas
much as both members were weak, and
were involved in the break, it is of lit
tie importance which member took
precedence in the failures. The factors
Of safety throughout the compression
members were so low that failure must
have followed sooner or later.
At this point the engineers proceed to
say how the failure might have been
prevented at q moderate cost.
The remainder of the sworn statement
of the engineers is devoted to consid-
Grafton of other defects in the bridge.
While these defects were not directly
the cause of failure, they were such as
might in themselves have led to failure.
They further add that the material, so
far as they were able to Judge, was of a
superior quality, and, with few excep-
tions, the workmanship was very su-
perior.
In conclusion, they say they find
nothing in this case to justify popular
apprehension that there may be some
inherent defect in iron as material for
bridges. They find no evidence of any
weakness in this bridge which could not
have been discovered and prevented.

Election Statistics.

The Congressional election returns
are published in the Tribune almanac.
1t appears that the largest vote polled
in any one district for Congress was in
Nebraska, 52,6S6, and the largest vote
cast for any one Congressman was for
Mr.. WEIGH of that State, 3d. Mr..
Throckmorton, of Texas, had the largest
majority of any candidate, 22,S55. The
Mormon Delegate, Mr.. Cannon, of
Utah, had majority of 1859. Mr..
Buckner, of Missouri, comes next, with
Is, 1913; MIR. Cox, of New York, next,
with 16, 65S; Mr.. Hatcher, of Missouri,
next, with 1859. The largest Repub-
lican majority in any one district was
IL, 475 for Mr.. Ryan, of Kansas, whose
district, in number of votes cast, is
second only to Nebraska. The third
district in number of votes cast is the
Sixth Michigan, which cast 44.971 votes
for Congress-.

Petroleum Pipe Line.

The preliminary survey for the new
pipe line between Buffalo and the Brad
ford oil region has just been completed.
The route runs direct from Bradford to
killbuck or Great Valley; thence takes
direct line over Fish hill to Union
Corners, in the town of Mansfield.
From this point it goes to East Otto
corners, thence to Morton's Corners,
Erie county; thence to Whites Corners,
town of Hamburg, and from this point
1t follows the line of the Buffalo and
jamestown road to Buffalo. The high
est point is in the northeast part of the
town of Little Valley, the elevation be-
ing 700 feet above the Allegheny river.
1t is the intention OF the company to
lay a four-ineh pipe between the two
points. Through all the open lands it
will be placed Under ground. Large
retineries will be located at Buffalo.

PERILOUS VOYAGE.
The Crew of n Wrecked Schooner Travel
2,4OO Miles In Open Boats.

The Crew of Wrecked Schooner Travel
2,400 Miles In Open Boats.
The schooner John Bright recently ar
rived ut SanFranciscofr from Tahiti, having
on board Capt. Stewart, of the British
ship Ada Iredalo, and three apprentice
boys, William Lightfoot, William Den
wood and Frederick Joyce. The Cap
tain reports that the ship left Ardros-
san, Scotland, on June 20, with coal for
this port. On October 13-latitude Is
deg. south, longitude 108 deg. west-a
fire was discovered in the lower hold.
Every effort was made to extinguish it,
but it was soon evident that the whole
bodyof coal was ignited. The crew dug
down into the cargo until the gas and
heat drove them from the hold. Water
was pumped down, but to no effect. In
thirty-six hours from the time the fire
was discovered the gas generated ex-
ploded and blew up the deck. Finding
further attempts to save the ship USE
less, the boats, three in number, were
lowered, and the ships company, con-
sisting OF the Captain, two mates, car
penter, cook, steward, five boys and
twelve able seamen, entered them. The
Captain took with him the ships papers,
nautical instruments, charts and such
an amount of bread and water as could
be slowed, and shaped a course for the
Galapagos islands, about twelve hun
dred miles distant. Soon after leaving
the ship the Captains boat capsized in
heavy sea and all the Instruments
were lost except sextant, and also all
the provisions on board. The boat
was righted again and the men picked
up. In a few days, finding the wind
and currents setting him back, the Cap
tain abandoned the design of reaching
the Galapagos and steered for the Mar
| quesas islands. 2, 400 miles distant. On
November 3 one of the boats capsized
and the carpenter, William Denver, was
drowned. The rest of the crew were
taken on board the other boats. All the
food and water IN the capsized boats
were lost, and from that time till No
vember 8, when they reached Island
Dominick, of the Marquesas group, all
hands were restricted to three wine
glasses of water per day, and through
out the time in the boats to two bis.
cults per day. The weather was very
rough portions of the time and the men
suffered severely. At night the boats
were made fast to each other and kept
together. The schooner John Bright
was found at Mar1uesas, and all hands
took passage in her for Tahiti, arriving
there December II. Here the Captain
paid off the officers and crew in bills on
England and discharged them, except
the apprentice boys, two of whom de-
serted. The others, with the Captain,
left Tahiti December 20. The mates,
cook and steward and eight seamer
shipped at Tahiti on the New Bedford
whaler Coral. The rest sought Other

High Salaries.

The city of New York pays salaries
amounted to $40, 10000 per annum.
In 1928, John Quincy Adams was de-
feated for reelection to the Presidency,
because his administration of the Gov
eminent of 100000 of people had
cost S13, 900, 900, or $l.0S for each in
habitant. When the incidental ex-
penses and interest on the debt were
deducted from this, it left about 81, 0OO,-
900 paid out for salaries, or about 80
cents per head. The expense for sal
aries in New York city is about SO per
head for every inhabitant-or more than
thirty times the average per capita paid
under John Quincy Adams administra-
tion.

Business Signs i'm Europe.

Some recent items of financial news
measures the prevalence in Europe of
the depression that has afflicted this
country. The revenue returns of Great
Britain for 1876 show for the last quarter
falling off of 1926, 900, and the year is
likely to end with small deficit. The
Clearing House of London has done
this year 81, 219, 625, 900 of business, a
falling off of $898, 1855, 900, or IL. per
cent. The profits of seven of the prin-
cipal joint-stock banks, as published in
the Economist, have been only 1OI per
cent. in 1876, against ID. 43 per cent.
in 1874. In France, L'fndustrie
states there has been on about 100 secu-
rites depreciation of $75, 135, 400, and
the new issues on the Paris Bourse have
$117, 900, 900 capital, against
$217, 900, 900 in 1875.

The amount of grain shipped from
the principal Western ports, last year,
was 150, 1854, 872 bushels, besides 1885,
S45 barrels of -four. The total ship
ments by water were 38, 813, 115 bushels,
so that 81, 548, 757 bushels were shipped
by rail. Within the past four years not
less than ga per cent. of the entire
crop moved from the chief lake and river
ports has been diverted from the water
routes, amounting last year to about
80, 900, 600 bushels, or about 1000, 900
tons of through freight. Even at the
rate of IL cents bushel, this change
added nearly "a, 900, 900 to the gross re-
