Arrival Of Sir frederick Bran.
wall. the Famous Engineer
who Supports the
Svhome.

Among the passengers by the Par.
thia yesterday was . very tall old
gentleman With white hair and
beard, sparkling eyes and smiling
countensnce. He was Sir Frederick
Bramwall. the famous engineer Of
the British Channel. He told . Ne
porter Of the World that he had come
to America on . holiday with his
two daughters, and that he intended
to spend 4 few weeks here In rest aud
recreation. In the course Of further
conversation It appeared that Sir
Frederick plane does not preclude
his taking professional interest In
the East River bridge and the Hu.l-
son River tunnel. In regard to the
last named work Sir Frederick ex.
pressed the opinion that something
wrong In the plans pursued 10 ~
cOunt0ble for the lOes Of life which
has bcsn ocs.asi0ned In the cOnstruc.
ton Of that work.
''But how 10 the Channel tunnel
project getting on, Sir Frederick"
''Oh; it's at dead stop. Nothing
can he done until the next session Of
Parliament, when the project will be
taken up by . joint committee Of the
Lords and Commons.
''Do you anticipate favorable action
on the part Of the committed"
''WhO can tell what they will do:
Who can tell what q parcel Of fouls
will do: There are all sorts Of men
in Parliament, but the fool, are not
all there"
From another source Il was learned
that Sir Frederick had defended the
Channel project with much vigOr
and enthusiasm In u debate ON b,ard
ship in which he ridiculed the argu-
n,ent Of an Ol.l-faehiOned sturdy Eng
lishnlan that the tunnel would not
only expose England to the danger
Of a French invasion, hut that the
English would lose their imsularitv
which wis q bulwark 0f str,ngth.
And because his opponent could not
see the force Of Sir Freslerick's re-
mark that he had not heart that the
French dreaded an lnvrsiOn although
the Channel would afford the Emg.
lish at least an equal opportunity to
invade France rs was afforded the
French to invade England, he sx-
pressed the opinion tina: the debatsr
in question was in much the same
position ~ he who has said In hix
heart there II no God. "-.Ntw yOrE

Warren.

The extensive an iuaintance Of Lew
Warren, and. the universal respect in
which he was held by those who
knew him, has caused more than an
ordinary interest TO he taken in his
melancholy death, and it IS not
strange that in a matter envelope,l
in 20 much mystery, many theories,
rel orts and suspicious would gain
currency. To-day friend Of the UNI
fortunate dead man came to MINER
reporter, and with considerable ex-
element denounced the manner in
which the body was buried IL an out
rage upon common decency. lie said
the men employed by the Coroner to
bury the body had merely scooped
out shallow hole near TIE bo;iy,
which they then rolled over and over
into the hole, using long POLES As
levers, and then hurrie.ily COW
cred the miserable grave with
earth. \ MINER reporter callct; UP
on Coroner Thompson to-day and
asked him what provision was made
for the decent burial of Warren. The
Coroner stated that it was the oriyi.
nal intention to bury the remains in
the cemetery, but SOME OF the jury
thought it better to bury then. near
the place where his body vas found,
and the Coroner himself concluded
that the advanced stage Of decompo-
sitlon in which the body was found,
made 1t almost impracticabie to con-
vey the remains to the cemetery. 1t
was therefore decided TO bury the
body near the spot where it was found
temporarily, and to remove it to the
cemetery at future time. John +.
Beck aud Thomas II. Fox both
well known in Mcadcrville,
were employed to furnish
suitable coffin aud bury the body
in grave, five feet deep, two feet
wide, aud six long, for which service
til " were to receive So. Beck and
Fox had done their work and had
been paid the amount stipulated.
No one doubts the efficiency Of the
coroner and if these are no. the facts,
the fault lies with the parties who
undertook to bury tue body, who are
alone responsible and have deceived
the coroner.

4 90ti0fhctory Test Of IT. Oapac-
ity and 1mcieucy.

For some time past negotiations
have been pending between the Butte
Fire Department and the Fire De
partment ut Helena concerning the
sale'of the new Silsby Fire Engine,
owned BY the former to the latter de
pertment. The engine was offered at
$3.50. The Helena people are will
ing to take 1t at this price, provided
1t Il In good condition and worked
to the satisfaction Of their chief engie
neer, Sam. Richardson. This gentle
man was sent over by the Helena de-
partmsnt to try her, and yesterday
the trial was made. At 2 o'clock in
the afternoon Hank Walton hilched
his fine blacks to the ''merchine''
and wheeled her up to the reservoir
at the head Of Main street. In short
time steam was raised aud the first
trial made. This was done with 70
pounds to IS pounds Of steam and 100
feet of hose with Il inch nozzle. The
trial was considered satisfactory, the
water being thrown to a distance of
100 feet or more.
On the second trial 80 feet more of
hose was added, making altogether
80 feet and a one inch nozzle used.
The gauges indicated ITO pounds Of
steam and no rounds hydraulic pres
sure. This was an extremely crafty
ing test, water being thrown pcrpen-
dicularly to at least 100 feet in height
and go feet horizontally.
The third and fourth trials were
made with two streams, through $50
feet Of hose, supplied with three-quar-
ter inch nszzles: Steam pressure, Is
pounds; hydraulic pressure 0opounds.
Each stream was thrown to height
Of at least 50 feet, and to a correspond
ing distance horizontally. These
trials were considered sufficient, and
the hose was reeled up. About an
hour was consumed in the trials, dur
ing which time the reservoir was low
ered TO- inches. Mr.. Richardson ex-
himself rs highly pleased
with the working Of the machine, the
only trouble being caused by the dir
ty condition Of the boiler, which me-
the frequent drawing Off Of
the water and rcfllling. The Helena
will undoubtedly take the
engine, but If it should not there will
be no difficulty in disposing Of it.
