The New Bridge. new iron rail
L L. {.

The New Briuyc.-1he new iron rail-
road bridge, which now Spaits the Maumee
at Toledo, is "a very handsome structure.
1t was constructed by the Lake Shore
Railroad Company, at II total cost of near
a quarter of million dollars, about three
ilths OF which was expended upon the
stonework. The total length of the struc-
ture is 920 feet, including 100 feet in the
draw. 1t rests upon three piers and two
abutments, which contain more than six
hundred cal loads of stone, and no finer
masonry can be found anywhere The
bridge is 80 feet wide and 26 feet in the
clear, with double track. The truss work
is y feet high. Nearly 1000 tons Of iron
have entered into its construction, of
which Isl tons are in the draw. The
number Of spiles driven reached $500. at
a cost OF SO, 600. The time occupied in
its construction was about one year. Mr..
S S. Gibson, Of Cleveland, did the spill
ing. The ENSIGN Bros, OF Cleveland, did
the stonework. The Kellogg Bridge Com
pany, OF Buffalo, furnished the iron struc-
lure, and Mr.. T. II. HAMILTON, OF Toledo,
placed il in position.

has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment Of these distressing

that ithas gained the reputation of being inthl-

AN ESoUHMAUX WEDDING.

Shortly there entered, in perfect silence,
Il cortege drawing dog sled, in which
was seated the high priest Of the tribe,
and a more villainous looking object |
never beheld. He was stripped to the
waist, and smeared wi h oil and coloring
matter in stripes, which gave him the ap-
pearance of a Chinese joss. On his head
was tiara of bears claws, surmounted
by an enormous polar bears head. On
his shoulders were placed erect on end two
large walrus thsks, fancfully decorated
with strips of red flannel, which had
been obtained from the clothing of drowned
sailor washed ashore. The lower part Of
his body was covered with other skins, over
which were spread number of young
seals, all alive and barking. In the right
hand he held spear, which he waved
aloft in theatrical manner, while with
his left he motioned to the bride and groom
to approach him. The whole concourse
arose and with shouts of gladness ca
pered around the priests chariot. This
he submitted to for space of ten minutes,
and then, imperiously waving his spear,
commanded Silence. The groom was now
directed to PROSTATE himself upon the earth
on his back, and the bride directed to place
her right foot upon his throat, which she
evidently did with reluctance. While in
this position the priest instructed the
groom that such was to be his fate, trod-
den under foot by men, should he ever
prove untrue to his plighted troth. He
was then permitted to rise, and directed
to approach the old chief, who placed a
spear al his breast. telling him 1t would
be his doom should he prove untrue. He
was next directed to his father, who, pro-
ducing a fishing line, informed him that
he would choke to death his offspring
should he prove unfaithful. Then, to cap
the climax, he was directed to face the en-
tire tribe, who bandishing their spears
yelled at the top of their voices vengeance
on him in the event of unfaithfulness. AT
this juhcture the groom, apparently over
come with emotion, dropped on the
gorund, and bowing his head to the earth,
cried, 81 will be tfus,' until raised to his
feet by the bride. San Francisco Mail.

THE VALUE OF CONFESSIONS.

Some three weeks ago an old man bv
the name Of Miller was brutally mur-
dered at Norris, near Detroit, Michigan
The murder was for money, small
quantity of which it was known the old
man had in the house A liberal reward
we believe $1,000, was offered for the
apprehension and conviction of the mur-
derers. Six young men or lads, ranging
in age from fifteen to twenty years, were
soon after arrested by the police who had
taken the matter in hand. The prison
ers had given an amateur musical enter
tainment on the night Of the murder at
Armada, thirty-two miles distant from
Norris. The concert had closed at 10
o'clock and at l l o'clock the boys retired
TO bed. At the usual morning hour for
breakfast they were on hand for their ra-
tions. If they were guilty Of the mur-
der they had driven sixty-four miles in
the night with a team of two old horses
and heavy wagon, and the horses had
no appearance of having been taken
from the stable during the night. The
boys were taken to different station
houses in Detroit.
Detective Moore, who had been instru-
mental in making the arrests and was
working for the reward, visited the lads
in their cells and succeeded in procuring
circumstantial confession from two of
them. By representing to Mckee that
Aldus had given the party away, and
that if he didn't confess likewise he
would get ten or fifteen years in the PEN
itentiary, he was, after repeated denials,
induced to sign statement that impli-
Gated the whole party in the crime. The
Bame tactics were resorted to with the
lad Aldus, with the additional promise of
1900 in cash if he would confess. There
was an identity about the story of the
two boys that gave it the appearance of
being truthful.
A very brief investigation of the case
on the Sth instant satisfied the Prose
cutting Attorney and the Magistrate that
the lads could not have committed
the murder, and that the two confess
sions had been procured by unfair
means. Detective Moore had framed
the plot and procured the assent of
prisoners for the purpose of securing the
reward. By skillfully working upon the
fears Of each of the boys that the other
had entered into plan to send him to
the Penitentiary, the nefarious job came
near being a success, On the discharge

of the boys, Detective Moore commenced
harvesting his reward. He was at once
arrested, together with the lad Aldus, and
the prospect is good that his careerias a
detective is at least temporarily closed.
Many an innocent party has been con-
vieted under the inspiring influence of
large rewards, but this is the most re-
markable case of parties accusing them
selves of the highest crime known to the
law, without the existence of single
suspicious circumstance pointing to
them.

IN nearly all the supplementary elee-
tions held in France since the meeting of
the Chambers, the Republicans have been
steady gamers On the dissolution of the
Chamber last summer by the De Broglie
regime the party vote was three hundred
and sixty-three. At the present time
there are nearly four hundred RepHb-
licans in the National Assembly. The
dissolution was simply a reactionary
measure, from which President MacMa-
hon and his Ministry expected an in
crease of Conservative strength that
would warrant extreme measures re-
pressive of liberal tendencies. The result
has been the very reverse Of this, as was
predicted by Gambetta. France is be-
coming essentially Republican. Hitherto
its tendencies toward a free government
have been regarded as spasmodic, but
year by year the hopes of the Legitimates
and Imperialists are departing.

did not meet with his anticipated sue

ground that colored men would be con-
signed to slavery upon entering Brazil,
and they very naturally were averse to
such future. 1t is indeed true that the
laws of that country forbid the settle,

of the railroad employees who will be

Neither Mr.. Turnbull nor any of the

during business hours is beyond dispute,
as the doors of the vault and safe are
carefully locked every night, and the safe
combination is only known to the firm
members and their confidential clerk.
