SCIENTIFIC men continue to advocate
iron railway bridges, but the public is
slowly waking up to the fact that there
is no bridge so safe as the wooden Howe
truss Flaws and defective places
can always be detected. In iron it is
next to impossible 1t is y matter of
scientific deduction that iron becomes
crystallized with age II loses its cohe-
sion and becomes so brittle that the
slightest blow may break the heaviest
bars Iron in bridges is especially
subject to a jar and rumble
which tends to hasten crystalli2ation,
But one of the chief troubles with our
iron bridges on railway lines is their
scantiness. The less material in the
bridge the cheaper it can be constructed
Competition between bridge companies
has introduced the gossamer orpipe-stem
style of architecture. Braces and sup.
pcrts are sacrificed in false economy.
Engineer Tomlinson. formerly gof the
Lake Shore road has testified that he
lost his place with the company be-
cause he insisted on having this same
Ashtabula bridge strengthened and
braced according to original drawings
If this can be established. the man who
interiered with the plans of the bridge
is murderer and is a fit subject for the
consideration of grand jury. Crmi.

the C0MMODORES SECRET.

The New York Sun remarks that the
success OF the late Commodore Wander.
bilt in steamboating and railroadins,
whereby he amassed n larger fortune
than any other private person during A
lifetime, has, naturally awakened a
strong desire to learn tho secret of his
uniform and most surprising achievn
ments. The commodore himself, wech
questioned upon the subject during the
latter years of his life, gave various ex.
plantations of it. To one young man
who was about entering upon the career
of q Wall street broker and who had
sought his counsel, he said; "Sonny
don't never sell what you havnt got"
which was an excellent piece of advice
for stockbroking adventurer, not
withstanding its defective grammer.

The End Of u Great Libel suit.

ST. Louis Special TO Chicago Timos.l
The libel suit OF the Rev Stuart Rob
inson against Mckee, Fishback a.
lIouser came to an abrubt termination
to day, The attorneys and parties to
the suit had assembled in the court
room, which was crowded with specta-
tors, and the case was called up. Before
announcing themselves ready for trial,
the attorneys asked time for confer
ence The counsel for the newspaper
proprietors inquired of the clergy man's
lawyers If they were prepared to offer
any terms OF compromises The latter
replied their client desired nopecuniary
gain, All he wished was that tho de-
defendants should confess Judgment in
such amount as would show their nd
mission of the wrong done, and from
this amount Mr.. Robinson would sim.
ply take sufficient to delray the ex-
pcnscs he had incurred. The terms
were accepted, The defendants con
iessed Judgment for $4,000. Mr. Rob.
inson took 81 200 to pay his lawyers,
left the costs OF the court to be charged
against the defense, and with this &C.
knowlsdged the complete satisfaction
of the Judgment, Fishback gave a
check for 5000, as his share of the dam.

INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The fraudulent acts Of bogus and dis
honest foreign insurance companies are
lorcibly portrayed in an editorial copied
from the Marshall HerdM
That paper will receive cordial sup
port in invoking the sevcrest laws to
compel all such impositions to furnish
adequate security for the fullilmcnt OF
all contracts and penal statutes to
punish their officers and agents for
traitorous acts.
No citizen should insure his life OF
his property unless he is presented with
indubitable testimony as to the solvency
and integrity of tho company with
which he contracts, and means should
be afforded him to readily obtain this
proof.
There are companies operating in this
State having accredited agents Of re-
cognized responsibility in Dallas that
can at all limos furnish testimonials aS
to their financial status and good condi
ton, and to these known and respon
sble agencies should insurers always
apply for reliable information.

Di.noncs, Insurance Comp ,uie.,

There is getting to be u very general
complaint everywhere, in this State
and throughout the South particularly
in reference to insurance companies,
and the difficulty Of collecting losses on
policies. Aside from bogus companies,
without adequate capital to meet their
engagements, that are downright frauds
upon the public, and whose officers and
agents, obtaining money under false
pretences, ought to be consigned to the
pc litentiary, there are Others not a
whit better They may or may not
have capital and a fair standing at
home, but no sooner does loss or series
OF losses occur, than they straightway
remove all their agencies from the
State, so that service cannot be obtain
ed, and the luckless victim Of their
wiles has to send to distant State, the
seat of their domicil, to endcavor to
secure justice. There ought to be Sc
we're laws passed by the legislature,
compelling the companies to furnish
adequate security for the fuliillment
of their contracts, and penal statutes to
punish their officers and agents. While
protesting to offer adequate security to
the citizen, they afford none whatever.
The State is thus drained, year after
year, of dollars.
Then there are dishonest agents, who
conceive it to be part of their legiti-
mate business, which will raise them in
the estimation of their companies, to
endeavor to defeat Just claim, or
reduce it to the very smallest amount,
From the large number of agents that
pursue this course, it is reasonable to
suppose they are acting by direct in
structions from their principals. Per-
sons who have lost property by fires, or
have had to collect losses on life poll
c.es, will recognize the justice of these
remarks, and know but too we'll the
sharp practices resorted to.

'rnE senatorial question before the IL
linois legislature seems to have been eN'
citing and the interest in it wide
spread. 1t is estimated that there are
nearly three thousand visitors at Spring
field from other cities, interested in the
senatorial election. There seems to be
an impression that this election would
have some potent interest on the presl-
dental middle. Chicago had three
hundred of its citizens there, including
one.forth of its city council, city and
county officials, also the chief OF the
postoilice and customhouse who were
principally working for Logan.
