The New York Elevated Railroads.
| New YORK, February 2d-The Herald
has a sensational article on the danger
threatening the elevated roads from the
weakening of the iron supports and Orders
| from the cryStalliZatiOn OF the iron. Ii
saws that engineers and scientists are max
| inc the subject more Il study, and expert
| ments during the past fourteen years sub
slantiate the theory that the best OF iron,
| when subjected to Il continuous strain, viii
| lose its tibTOus qualities and show cryS-
| talline arrangement of the molecules and
ties agree that the enormous strain TO
which the elevated track is subjected will
cause the iron to crystalline and that the
process cannot be detected by any outward
signs Theodore Cooper. the builder of the
| st. Louis bridge, said 10 a Herald reporter:
! y man can say if there will or will not
| be a horrible smashup ON them some day.
| ! do not care to express an opinion. Tn
doubtedly the structure is too light. 1t
| would have been much cheaper TO have
| built it stronger in the first place, to say
nothing of the safety. The road is being
| strained just twice as much as it was in
| tended to be-" Other engineers express
similar opinions.
\ Wealthy Institution.
NEW YORK. February 2d-With the ex-
ception ofthe Chamber of Commerce there
| is no institution in America that contains
so much wealth as the Stock Exchange.
| The recent election of Huntington and
| George J. Gould adds several millions to its
| representation. Russell Sage, who can
| command more ready cash than any other
man in Wall street J. d. Rockefeller and
| William Rockefeller, the two Standard Oil
| Company miliOnaires, are among its rich
members. James Seligman, the banker,
| has been member since 1879. None of
| the Nanderbilts are members but one OF
| the sons-in-law, DR.. Webb was member
until a week or 50 ago, when. on his cleo
ton as President of the Wagner Car Com
| panV he transferred his seat to his brother.
| 1t is not at all likely that Huntington will
ever personally execute an order in the
| Board-room. The Rockefellers have never
| appeared in the Board-room
| Brutal Exhibition in Pittsburg.
PITTsBUHG, February 2d-A select gath
| Of sYDrtS Witnessed n l,urriO.r match
between Jimmy Myers and Pat McLaugh
| lin of this city yesterday. The men wore
| knee brooches, which left the caves Of
their legs bare, and heayy-soled shoes. At
| the tip OF each shoe was attached a piece of
| iron about a. sharp as an ordinary table
| knife. When time was called. both men
began dancing around warily. Finally Nc
Laughln led off with his right foot and
clipped his antagonist just below the knee
on the inside Of the left calf bringing
| blood Myers then made TWO attempts 70
get back at Mclaughlin, but was very clev-
| erlv foiled by the latter's slilful guard.
| Mclaughlin again struck Myers, and sue
ceeded in cutting two gashes in his right
calf. This highly incensed Myers, who
struck out yiciously, both with his left and
right foot, and managed to send his tips in
the left calf OF his opponent with
such effect as to send him to the
| floor. The men retired to their
corners, and after being spongcd went at it
again. Mclaughlin, who was evidently
the most scientific led off with
| well-eXecuted CroSscut, which made
ghastly wound on Myers right calf. The
latter responded with fierce clip on Nc
! Lauehlin's right ankle, above the shoe-top,
that fora moment staggered him with pain.
but the clip had only the effect Of enraging
Mclaughlin. and he began 10 administer
! sledge-hammer kicks with lightling-like
rapidity. In two minutes he had the veins
cut in the lower anatomy of his antagonist,
causing the blood to flow at such q rate that
the floor, which was covered with sawdust,
| was saturated with blood. BY this time
| the men were separated, and il was evident
that Myers was getting much the worst of
it. He was pale and haggard from loss of
blood, and unsteady on his pins. How
ever, when they again faced one another,
he opened the fighting by clipping Nc
| Laughlin three times i'll succession, inflict-
| ing some terrific cuts in his right calf 1t
was his last squirt, however, as Mclaughlin
| jumped at him and gave him such a terri
| bic punishment that he fell to the floor in
a faint. The stakes were awarded TO Nc
Laughlin.

states that Mgr. Capel said he was sorry
that Newton was weakening the Christian
religion at 4 time when it needed strength
ening, and added that the Protestant clergy
man : attacks were scholarly and we'll put,
something he could not say of most of the
clerical writing in America. The clergy in

and, as Mccullough has been led 10 believe
that his engagement is to be opened this
