Sioux Falls Press: There are
apprehensions regarding the f.
nancial condition which would
ensue should Jay Gouid's illness
prove fatal His enormous hold
ing of stocks OF various kinds,
estimated at $87, 100000 would
be thrown upon the market,
which would probably precipi-
tate q terrific panic. Gould ia
sad to be worth 500, 200, 600
but when he dies he'll be just
only 3 small-sizsd dark com
plexioned corpse, only that and
nothing more. lie IS now
troubled with sleeplessness, and
would give one OF HE many
millions for single good
nights rest. 1t was his strug-
gle for these millions that made
hun s!eepless, bnt he cant rue
the bargain now-he has his
money but he can't swap it back
for slumber. What is it all
good for anyway! Has Jay
Gould had more fun than some
OF the rest OF US? We reckon
not. Will he have any more
fun in the great eternities than
will some of the poor cusses who
go through the world piiing up
nothing but charitable thoughts
and deeds tor their neighbors
and live fGr their God? Ii not,
has not his great success been .
most lameutable failure!

give them q parting word az the
officers brought them out to the
conveyance that was to take
them to the Hudson River rail-
road.
Among these onlookers were
several women, sad, csrsworn
and poorly clad. They had
sons or husbands among the
prisoners. One woman dressed
in Q thin alpaca dress with o
threadbare shawl pulled around
her shoulders was conspicuous
by her manner. She was evil
dently hard working woman.

showed the strain of long con.

Haafthe elopements we hear about
Nowadays are shams, said our man OF
the world, with his air of portentious
wisdom. NOW that runaway match
in our own town, for insance. The
girls father is sharp man, but this is
one of the sharpest tricks he has ever
played since knew him. That e'ope-
ment was all ham. It's as simple as
can be. The girls father Is one of the
best known men in this section of the
town and a politician beside. He has,
necessarily, a large acquaintance with
the element who are always expecting
him to stand treat upon the slightest
pretext, and, what with this and the
wedding festivities, supper and other
etceteras, his daughters marriage, If
soiemnized in the ordinary manner,
would have cost him a great deal OF
money. An elopement saved all this so
he opposed his daughters wishes strong
y enough to give pretaxtto for the two
to run over to the next town, where the
expenses of the wedding, all told, did'n mt
amount to more than five or ten dollars.
There were no fine dresses flowers, gifts
or anything Of that sort, and when they
returned home they had \ chance to 60
to housekeeping quietly and unostenta-
tiously. 1t was sbrewd plan and a
sensiol one fer all parties concerned. -
| have known number of runaway
matches which had no other reason than
economy. Parents, relatives and all
were willing for the yoang people to
commit matrimony, bat the expense
was serious consideration, and lit
tie timely opposition which caused an
elopement smoOthed out the crooked
channel in which the course of true love
was running. The cost of the wedding
was saved for housekeeping, the young
couple were forgiven, and all went as
if there had been any amount Of mar
riage bells ringing.

The N eW h. and T..

The weather last week was somewhat
against very rapid progress being made
with work on the b. ~ p. Railroad. Nc.
Catferty, Malloy q Comley have brok-
en- ground over the summit at Scheut-
zen park, where the excavations when
completed are to be fOrty-three feet
deep. Thy have about fifty nen em'
ployed in excavating and working up.
on the dump at Sixteenth street, between
DUPONT and Scott streets.
In all the excavating that has beer
done, no stone has been found, the
ground consisting of pudding clay
sand and some gravel. Considerable
trouble Is experienced from quicksanG
deposits and small local spring heads
The contractors are not digging ons th.
excavations the whole width of th'
road 1T present, but only toa sut5cien
width to permit of the laying of tracks
The balance of the excavating can bt
finished as well after the tracks art
laid. The pier builders have finished
the pier on the east side Of Delaware
avenue, and they are now excavating
the foundation for the pier on the west
side. The piers are substantial struc
lures, faced with rough dressed stone
two feet in thickness, surmounted by
a gray stone coping above, which is 1t
tapered stone ahutment on which the
iron bridge is to lay.
The west side pier ut Gilpin avenu ue
has also been completed and the ioun-
dation for the pier on the east side has
been dug out.
Andrews q Locke are retarded in
i II their operations in building the a out
ments and piers at the Brandywlne on
ace unit of not getting the stone as fast
as they could use them. The west side
pier is about 35 feet high, but it is to be
run up % feet before it is completed. 1t
tap"rs half inch to the foot.
The blocks Of stone used in building
1t are two feet thick. Only two mason,
are engaged in laying them two men
make the mortar and some four or five
are engaged in working the block and
fails that hoists them up and places
them " here they are wanted. The tive
abutmen farther up the hill are under
way and are built of22.inch thick stone,
WOrkmen are also engaged On the east
side in digging out the foundations FOL
the abutinents, and stone is all that is
wanted topush the work TO speedy
completion.
All the skilled quarrymen that can
be had are engaged at once, and sent to
the quarries opposite Riddles mills,
and between picks, drills, crowbars
and blasting powder the hill is getting
torn all to pieces.
The firm yesterday completed the
stretching of wire cable $50 feet long
and three inchesin diameter across the
Brandywine, upon which, by kind OF
bicycle pulley running on the wire, the
large stone for building piers and abut-
mcnts on the east side will be run
