The Last of Josiah Smith.

Deputy Sheriff c. f. Huber returned
to the city on Sunday morning. md was
promptly called upon by HERALD re-
porter. seeking such further informatian
regarding Josiah Smiths jumping from
passsngor train. near Sumner, On
Thursday morning last, as has not yet
been made public. The prevailing inn
precision that Smith. in taking his des.
perate spring was attempting to escape
from custody. it seems, is erroneous.
All the surroundings and circumstances
Of the affair point to deliberate effort
at self-s,aughter. How well the inhu-
man murderer succeeded has already
been ohronicled. 1t was learned from
Mr.. Huber that Smith had several times
during the trip attempted to borrow a
knife, but without success. He asked
one man to lend him his knife as he
wanted to cut some tobacco with
which to make a cigarette. The man
appealed to said he had no knife, but
would give Smith smoking material,
whereupon Smith declined. saying that
he did not wish TO smoke. The behavior
Of the murderer, in all other respects,
was not such as to indicate the slightest
disposition towards violence, for had he
manifested any the officer wouli have
bound him to the seat. 1t appears
that after Smith had made the fatal
spring, and had been csught by the
young news agent. he actually struggled
to fall under the wheels. and was hang.
ing between the two coaches, held up
" his would.be rcscuer This ones
strength failed him and Smith fell under
the wheels. When the train stopped,
and Mr.. Huber, with other passengers,
reached the spot where Smith was, they
found his left leg cut in two above the
knee and hanging by the merest strip Of
flesh The leg was cut off and buried
where the accident occurred. At eleven
o'clock on Saturday the physician at
Tulare, who was in attendance on
Smith. as forlorn hope, determined to
cut off more of his leg. as modification
had set in. At one o'clock Smith died.
He did not mention the name of God
from the time he was hurt till he died;
although o great part Of the time he was
conscious and spoke freely and ration.
ally.
1t is learned from passenger that
Deputy Sheriff Huber was not in the
least biamsabie for negligence or any
lack of attention. We understand fur
ther that after the thing happened, he
did everything in his power to alleviate
Smiths suffering, and acted with CON-
mendAble Judgment and intelligence in
all his dispositions looking to the unfor-
tunate wrstchs being properly cared
for.

OMAHA. Mob. Sent. 8. 1879

OMAHA. Neb., Sept. 8. 1879.
]. b. MouLr0S, City Engineer:
DEAR sIR-Yours Of the 18th ult. Is received
In reply will state that this city has made but
very little use Of cement pipe Of any kind; but
the Omaha 4 Northwestern Railroad Company
have had In the neghborhood OF 1850 feet placed
upon their road some six months ago, all Of
which proved failure. owing to their want Of
sufficient strength to support the requisite pres
sure.
From my observation Of the pipe should not
recommend 1t for sewerage purposes:
1. Because they are more or less, subject to
disintegration from acids. -. u.
2. Their peculiar construction requires better
class Of skilled labor In the settling than IL usu.
ally secured.
s. Their efficiency depends 90 much upon the
peculiar selection Of material entering their com
position, that few manufacturers manage to
secure proper cement and proportion of clean
gravel or sand requisite In pipes for sewer pur.
poses.
Mr.. R. Q. Phillips, formerly City Engineer oi
Cincinnati. and now Chief Engineer Of Public
Works In the District Of Columbia, while here
lately, expressed himself to me as in favor Of
glazed clay pipe In preference to those Of cement.
With regrets that have been unable to reply
earlier to your letter Of inquiry,
remain yours, respectfully,
ANDREW ROsEwATER, City Engineer.

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-01-09

Is believing" we suggest that all who still have
doubts on the subject should satisfy themselves
by this test.
But this liability to destruction by acids Is BY
no means the only objection 10 cement pipe. II
generally has very itta strength or eapability o.
resisting internal or external pressure, compared
with stoncware pipe, although 1t Is nearly double
the weight and thickness.
Csment pipes can undoubtedly be made so ~ 10
stand good degros Of pressure from without,
but IL takes too good quality qf cement, and
too much OF 1t, TO make the production Of such
pipe sufficiently profitable 10 satisfy the manu-
faeturers. Tho temptation Is very strong 70
draw too heavily on the sand bank. But even II
the proper quality and proportion Of cement is
used, carelessness In mixing. or In moulding
within the proper time after mixing, may destroy
the set OF the cement to such degree that the
pipes thus produced msy be scarcely able TO sus-
tain their own weight, and the worst Of II 10,
there IL no practical way Of discriminating be-
tween pipes properly and those improperly made,
90 that In any considerable average lot OF cement
pipes the chances arc that at least fow will be
10 stronger than Its weakest link, so no cement
pipe sewer can properly be considered stronger
than its weakest Joint Of pipe, for the caving In
Of single Joint obstructs the whole sewer.
Iu striking contrast with the foregoing Is the
following statement Of Theodore Weston, In
gineer, formerly In charge Of the Sewer Depart
1870, he says:
''In relation 10 the strength and durability Of
stoneware pipes, have found no instance, In the
seventy miles laid down by me for sewerage and
drainage In this city. where any failure or defect
was traceable to the quality or character Of the
pipes themselves. On the contrary. they have
worked. often under circumstances Of CARELESS
and unfaithful contracts In their laying, with
much greater freedom than l could have sup
posed possible.
The practical value Of their use may best be
Illustrated by the fact that during the past year,
Of the seventy miles above named, the cost OF
cleaning has not exceeded the sum Of $780,"
In conclusion we would say, that IL any reason.
able man is not convinced, by the foregoing testi-
mony, Of the vast superiority Of stoneware pipes,
We know Of no cure for him except an invest
ment ln cement pipe, for his own use.
Yours. respectfully,
