We have visited the Jail once or
twice recently, and to the credit of
our excellent Sheriff, John Knox
Hughes, aud Jailor Hastings, we
must say that everything looked as
well as any prison can be made to
appear. We would warn all evil
disposed persons against seeking this
place of safety expecting to find a
palace or a hotel run on the Europe
an plan. The only way it resembles
the latter is, you call for achdt you
,cant, but you seldom ever get it.
Since the adjournment of court
four persons have been committed
to Jail, all for stealing. Smith and
Phipps, from Durham, stealing two
horses, and George OVERLY tor steal
ing a bride in Hillsboro. All three
named are intelligent looking white
men. a negro from Flat River
was put in Jail last week for steal
ing a bog.

Charles f. Brush, the inventor of the Brush

broadway, Flfth-avc. and other streets, seen
by a TRIBUNE reporter recently ut the Windsor
Hotel. Sir. Brush has just returned from Paris, and
gave some interesting facts concerning the Electric
Exhibition now ID progress there.
Did you visit the Exhibition in the interest of
your light 7" asked The reporter.
did not ; but was travelling abroad during the
summer and deferred my trip to Paris until the
opening of the Exhibition in order to 1t, merely
for curiosity. The Brush Company OF the United
States had nothing there, but the Anglo American
Company of London, which makes tho Brush
system 10 England. made large exhibit"
What company had the largest nun Der Of
Thero were four incandescent lights-EdsOn,
M4ll n, Swami and Lanc-FON. OF these four. when
lst paris Swami had 100 lamps burning, Edison 30
:, mile the other two had only few lights. Edison's
large engine had not yet arrived and doubtless
the other firms have made additions TO their first
showing. The arc lights were numerous. Among
them were the GranIme, Weston, Scmsns JablOch-
kon, Jamin Jaspar, Crompton, Brush and many
others"
Was the representation as full as you had
pecied TO find itP
=" looked for more new lights; not cheaper nor
more perfect than we already have III this country,
but for greater arc lights but am sorry to say
was disappointed. Possibly that is due to the fact
that the press announces every invention the mo-
ment il Is discovered that there is chance for
n great exhibition Of new things In any one line.
There was, however an excellent chance to com
pare the different lights and the apparatus produc-
ing them.
& Was the telephone interest repreSented'"
"Very largely indeed. There were two large
rooms IN the building entirely devoted TO that
branch of electricity, and the management had con-
nected the opera house with of the rooms so
that visitors could hear the music by telephone
distinctly. All the recent improvements Of this
interesting little instrument also show a. and
attracted much attention. Many tourists were
disappointed because the Exhibition did not open
on August l, as 1t was advertised to do, but the
delay Of a month was due TO the slowness Of the
French workmen."

LOCAL MISCELLANY.
WHY MORE STEEL IS WANTED.


Onc of the Bridge engineers said yesterday that
tbe | 900 additional tons of steel were needed 70
make the bridge stronger than at first Intendeu.
The general plan had not been changed from thnt
laid down i'm the original specifications but cert.Ih
parts had been heightened. For one inihs; ello
frsses on either side of the railroad tracks had pee
increased in height two feet so az to allow the
bridge The braces for the floor beams had Deen IN
creased in size and the lower chords maze lnun
heavier strengthening the whole supeISti uG I
Some of the parts increased as iluch as
eghths of an inch in thickness All TINS was Pia t
ned for before any part of the steer conacteu Iof
with the Edgemoor COMPANY naa poen ar.;n IA
turea IN was not found ont after q portion hau
been delivered that ii was too light. .
An engineer not connected with the bridge SAID
this enormous increase i'll the weight OF the sus-
nended superstrucure over what the cables and sus-
penders were planned to support, would be an adj
ditional reason for popular dlstrust OF tne
roadway when completed. The weight was
to he increased twenty pei. cent, ana tne
engineering question would arise whether SUM-
cient margin was left when the bridge
was fully loaded before the breaking strain wouid
be reached. The advertising for bids or the ad-
