How puck-Hunters Work.

Among the numerous snares and devices
used for the wholesale capture and
slaughter of ducks in numerous parts of
the State is the following: long net is
fastened to two tall poles, which are erected
and held by means of rope attached to
each. These ropes extend back into two
bough-houses where they are held by two
or more persons. When the net has been
erected, close to the shore of a pond upon
which the ducks frequently alight, and the
ground between it and the waters edge
plentifully besprinkied with shelled corn
as a bait for the web-footed fowls, the men
take their places in their little houses to
await the arrival of their victims. As soon
as sufficient number comes up within
range of the net, the ropes are quickly
loosened and down the trap goes upon the
ducks. The men then go along and kill the
captives by giving them "clip'' with
pair of pinchers which they carry for the
purpose.

A GIGANTIC PROJECT,

A Company Formed to Construct New
Bridge Across the Mississippi.
SPRINGFIELD H., Nov. 2O.-The Secre-
tary of State yesterday morning licensed the
Chain Of Rocks Bridge Company, of East
st. Louis, with capital Of 81, 009, 900. The
company propose to construct a bridge across
the Mississippi River not to exceed ten miles
above East st. Louis. 1t is incorporated by
William Glasgow, J. r. Oscar Willis, A. T.
Hoffer, Thomas Howard and Frederick
Shickler. Nothing appears in the body of
the charter to show what interests are to be
forwarded by the construction of this
bridge but it is believed the project is to be
pushed by rival lines to Jay Gould's combi-
nation, which now controls the st. Louis
bridge. The Chicago & Alton Company
is probably the most interested, al
though the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
Ohio & Mississippi. Panhandle and other
roads strike the river at the Chain of Rocks,
and bridge there would be convenient for
them.

HB~The Irish movement continues to
attract attention, or, rather, is forced
upon public notice by the acts of those
engaged in it. On the night of Thurs
day of last week terrific explosion oc-
Cured in the local government board
office, close by the House of Commons,
at Westminster; and on the previous day
an attempt was made to blow up the
office of the London Times. Both these
schemes are attributed to Fenians. Or
Saturday Lady Florence Dixie was as
saulted at Windsor by two masked men
dressed In women's clothes, who waylaid
her and stabbed her several times
This outrage is also laid to Irish NAL
contents. She has taken much interest
in Irish affairs, first coming into promi
hence by publishing pamphlet entitled
IAN Address to the Tenant Farmers anc
People of Ireland, with Advice anC
Warning" in which she urged them tt
demand from the trustees a statement OF
the receipts and expenditures OF thu
Land League funds. To her recen
charge that fl52, 600 of the Land Leagu,
funds were not accounted for, and tina
eos, 900 had been used to promote tn
commission of outrages in Ireland
Treasurer Egan of the Land League re-
piled that she was crazy after notoriety
and that she had become a mouthpiec
of Richard Pigott, formerly editor of tn
Irishman. But whether she is right o
wrong in this discussion, it is not cas-
to see how the most rabid partisan of tn
Irish could expect to gain anything 70
the cause by numbering her. If the
have not already, the Irish will 500
lose all sympathy of civilized people
for while the leaders in the agitatio
may not be directly responsible for til
acts of their followers, they will be hel
in some degree accountable.

S6y" EX-Second Assistant Postmaster
General Brady has been under examine
tion in the Star-rOute trial at Washington
this week. His testimony is made W
chiefly of denials of the charges brought
against him. On Tuesday, however, he
did admit that he wrote the so-called
ginger" letter, in which he asks Con
tractor Walsh for $4,000. Brady ha(
previously testified that he had hat
nothing in particular to do with Walsh
and this admission is regarded as damag
ing to Brady's case.
