Their theory is that Hiss Knox, mnddcned by tho

In aengLby conversation last ght with the writer tho

gloves declared that he could tell Merritt out OF

awkward and scared look which Merritt wore tho next
day when he came 10 his store TO complain that trck
had been played upon him. and that somebody had
persoBated hin as Miss knox's bridegroom. II ap-
pears that 1t was Miss Knox who first acquainted her
counsel with the circumstance that Merritt on the
day before the marriage had gone to Lawyer
Miller, and, after inquiring on what grounds
he could get divorce, had asked Miller
to draw up separation papers Merritt, when
he drove her home told her OF hts having been

DEFECTS WHICH COULD NoT HAVE BEEN

COLUMBUS OHIO, Feb I, 1877.
f. Bowen, Thomas II. johnson, and John Graz
ham, civil engineers employed by the legislative com.
ittce to investigate the Ashabula Railroad disaster,
have submitted n statement Of the facts
taineu by them. After referring to their calculations
their observations at the wreck they submit the
following conclusions
Fiyst-That all the tension members had very largo
factors OF safety and were abundantly able maintain
bridge.
.Second-That all the compression members except
the countcrbraces were deficient in capacity having
yery small factors Of safety.
Third-Cousidered with reference to the location OF
he break, II appears that the weakest point In the
braces was at tho end near the break and that the
weakest point In tho top chord at the
centre through tho top chord. That the point OF
failure does not show state OF security much greater
than that oil the braces The probability Is that the
braces failed first, and thereby involved the failure OF
the top chord, also but nasmuch as both nicmbers
we're weak and wore involved In the break, II IS Of
little importance which member took precedence in
the failure The factors OF safety throughout the
compression members were SO low that failure must
have followed sooner later at this point"

JUDGE MzLLER's ALLEGED LETTER-rTs Au-
THoRsHIP POSITIVELY DENIEp--wHAr PROM
fSxSr SENATORS THINK OF THE NATTER.
The facts in regard 70 the letter attributed BY
HERALD correspondent 10 New Orleans to Mr. Justice
Miller that Judge Banscr OF Texas his brother
inlaw. and has been In the habit OF writing TO him fro
quently upon social political affairs There good
reason TO believe that OF sho views
fJudge Ballinger the correspondence took quite
asharp turn There high authority for saying that
tho sentiments OF Judge Miller expressed In his
correspondents, are exactly the opposite OF opinions
held BY Judge Ballnger in his correspondence with
Judge Miller and others. A most positive denial Is
make by an authentic source that Judge Mner ever
wrote any such letter attributed him, and hrs
trends consider II wrong to him to make any such
statement Justice Miller declines TO discuss the SUBJ
jecs even with his Intimate friends resting on hts
denial to tho HERALD's inquiry.
Senator Morton, in speaking about the matter this
evcnng says, most emphatIcay, that he no does not
believe that Judge Miller eyer wrote letter assang
tho republican party. Tho Judge, no savs known
take pride his orthodoxy republican, though OF
course, no keeps his judicial character separate from
any commlngIings with political or partisan spirit.
Senator Bayard said he had read tho despatch in
tho HERALD In regard 10 Judge Mller's correspond
cnce, but that he knew nothing the subject except
what is now known TO the HERALD aud all It's readers
He entcrans he sa,d the highest respect for Justice
Miller, and believes that he, well every other
momber OF the commission, will be governed solely IN
their decision by tho Law and the facts IN the ques-
tions that would come before them.
IAN, SAID Senator Bayard, In conclusion. al know
