A Great Bridge.

WASHINGTON, Septenbr 22.-It is not
generally known that in the vicinity OF
Washington is the largest stone arch in
the world, with span Of go feet, the sec.
ond being that OF the Grosvenor Bridge,
with span Of 200 feet. which crosses the
River Dec.- The structure in question is
named Cabin John Bridge, from the stream
it spans, cabin John Rum" which in turn
was named after a hermit fisherman and
trapper Of the olden time, who liyQds in q
hutnear tho mouth; Of the creek, and was
only known as Cabin John. y The arch is
the support OF the conduit, an elliptical
brick structure for the passage OF the water
which supplies the city OF Washington, and
comics from the Potomac at point several
miles up the river. Over this conduit or
aquednct-which, by the way, isabout nine
feet III daneter-is constructed a magnifi-
cent driveway, which is one Of the most
popular leading from W Washington. Cabin
John Bridge springs the chasm at a height
Of l0l feet. It is 20 feet wide, its extreme
length being 42O feet. ' The cost was $685. !
600: The spectator is at once impressed
with thegrace and strength Of the structure,
its airy slightnnss taking away all idea oi
the immense pressure upon it. Cut in the
granite tablet Of the west abutment is an
inscription that is worthy OF note. The
bridge was built under the direction OF the
Secretary Of War, who, ut the time, was
Jefferson Davis. II is noticeable that the
arch traitors name ;has been carefully
chiseled lout The Government official
who made the order to cut out the name so
odious to oeveryf patriot never; stopped to
think thatthe net would attract more at.
tention 10 the name than il it were allowed
to remain in undisturbed quiet. i l,J!i,

BATTLE BETWEEN CATTLE MEnDERs
In Which Four OF tho Participants Were
lnNtantlY IlllIeu.

Instantly Killed.
sr. Louis, September GA special from
Denver, COL, says The particulars Of a
twelve-sidcd duel between cowboys has
just reached here. George Howard, owner
ola herd Of 5000 cattle, and John Kcely,
owner Of herd of 1000, were driving in
company from Arizona northeast Of Trina
did, COL, on the plains. The two herds
wer6 to separate, Howard to take
the old Santa Fc trail to Kansas
City, and Keelyl to- drive north 10
Denver. On the route an accidental ex.
change had been made and Howard in.
sisted on having his stock out, but WAS un.
willing to deliver: keely's, and it was
finally. agreed tossttle the matter by bat
tic between six men Of each party. Ac.
cordingly, twelve men ranged themselves
on horseback, the two sides fifty ieet apart,
and at a signal from the employers the
fight was TO begin. At the first fire four
men were instantly killed. George Lester,
Of keely's party, was shot through the
breast. One Of HoSard's men fell with
bull through his head, and two
others Of the same party were shot
through the heart. The dismayed Howard
party, with the exception OF their EN-.
ployer, fled to their camp. keely then
rode upto Howard and proposed that they
should fight it out. Howard declined, say.
Ing that he understood the matter to be
settled according to the terms oil the battle
made beforehand.
This settled the matter. An equitable
chnnge Of mixed cattle was then made.
The dead were buried by the other men OF
both herds, and the droycrs and those in
charge separated for their different routes.

New YoRH, September 22-It must be
said for Ellison that his electric light (fil-
teen hundred burners Of which are in

Of the engines runs little faster than the
others, the whole work Of the district is
thrown upon 1t for the moment, resulting
in strain to the machinery. An improve

THRILLING STORY OF A WRECK.
Az Told by Mias Morrison, One OF the
Survivors OF tho Asia.

PERRY SOUND, OST., September oo-
Miss Morrison, one Of the survivors OF Tho
ill.fated Asia, has furnished sketch Of her
experience After she left the wreck in a
lifeboatw with the captain, mate and styeral
others, she says, ~ saw the other two life.
boats. both full. The captain. and
mate had oars, and tried 10 take
care Of our boat. The steamer now
went down and left wreckage floating ali
around. ! saw the other two boats upset
twice, and each time the number ofpas.
sengers was largely reduced. The three
boats drifted together for short time, /
heard those in the other boats cali TO the
captain for oars. One OF the two boats had
no oars, one had one and our boat had two.
The captain could spare none. There were
eighteen persons in the boat before She up.
Set Two women were lost the inst time.
1t became calmer near dark, and the boat
did not upset again. About this time we
picked up floating oar, but were too ex-
hausted to use it. The mate told ME TO
hold on to the life line whatever, bappen-
ed, and never letgo. When the boat up-
set, ! hung on and came up with It, None
OF the FIVE men died until after
dark. The mate got upon his knees and said
he could see land. This cheered us all.
We were all in the water up to our knees,
but the water was not up to the seats. II
we had had a bailing dish we could have
bailed out the boat after the sen went down,
but we had nothing to do it with. The
men died quietly and seemed 10 20 10
sleep. The mate put his head up to nv
face in the dark and asked il It was I. t
said yes. My hair was flying around, He
seized it in his death.grasp and pulled
down my head. - ,
II asked the captain, who was near, 10
release my hair. He did SO, and the mate
soon breathed his last. We saw a light Mt
Bying Inlet about dark, and could see it
all night, but driftcd south. Shortly after
the mate died the captain laid down. /
tried 10 arouse the captain, but he was dcad.
Daylight finally. dawned and revealed a
shore near by. Zinkis worked the
boat toward the shore with The oar

walk across the island, thinking we might
find some houses. l could not walk,
so We returned to the boat. links took
the bodies out We landed, broke
boughs for our beds, and put some

some, but was Dervous. We were up be-
fore sunrise and got into our boat We
rowed shsrt time, but then gave it up
and went ashore and lay down on the rocks
and went 10 sleep. An Indian came along
and wokeus up and asked US il we were lost.
We said We were. His squaw was in

from his boat. ! could not eat. but drank
