Another Bridge Gives Away

EAST SAGINAW, Mich, Oct. %
At $50 o'clock last evening fire
broke out on the tug Mcdonald,
lying at the dock about one hundred
feet south of the Genesee avenue
bridge. A large number OF people
were congregated on the bridge,
when a piece of sidewalk on the
bridge, five feet wide and forfy-five
feet long, containing about sixty
people gave away with a crash and
precipitated them into the river,
fifteen to eighteen feet deep, with a
strong current. The night was
cloudy and dark. Miraculously the
greater number were saved, many
badly bruised. The river is being
dragged and the body of one boy
named Sidney Fallon, aged eight
years, has been brought up. 1t is
thought a number persisted, as
twelve or thirteen are known to be
missing.
The current IS very swift, and it
is thought that some bodies may
have drifted some distance down
stream. John Bush, Chester Meeres,
James Murphy, and lad named
Sharp are missing and supposed to
be drowned, as it is claimed they
were on the bridge when it went
down.

Capturing a Shaver.

A correspondent writing from Zan-
zibar on August 26, says the slave
trade is very brisk just now. Both
her Majesty's ships. Kingfsher snd
Dragon have made captures recently.
The Kingfisher's capture was very
cleverly and courageously effected:
The steam cutter, being short OF
coal, left one man and an interpreter
on the lookout with orders to mark
down any dhows arriving, but not
to get into Danger while she ran
down to the depo. island to fill up
with Goals. Scarcely had she got
out of sight when in came a dhow.
The captain and crew eagerly scan
ned the surrounding bays and is
lands for man of war boats, and,
finding none, dropped their anchor.
Perceiving that she was a doubtful
and suspicious vessel, the interpre-
ter obtained an old canoe, placed the
blue-lacket in the bottom of it with
strict injunctions not to show him
self, and proceeded to put off to the
stranger. Arriving within q lew
hundred yards of the dhow, the cap
tain espied the blue.jacket in the
bottom of the canoe, and, together
with his crew of Arabs five in mum.
ber), proceeded to load their guns
and flourish their swords. At this
crisis the blue, jacket, sailor-like,
wanted to make a dash for the
dhow; but the interpreter, with
poor Capt. BrownbriggIs fate fresh
in his memory, was more wary.
"Wait q bit jack" said he, well
get them all right and, polling the
canoe on the shore, he ran along the
beach little way to a small bay,
where the boats lie generally hid.and
began to shout and shrek to two
| imaginary boats, telling them to be
quick. Come on. jump overheard
and swim on shore and sure enough
these five Arabs sprang overheard,
and swimming to the shore, four of
them bolted into the bush, and were
not seen again. One of them, how
ever. the captain of the dhow, find
ing that the boats did not turn up,
made toward the bluejacket with his
gun; but Jack was quite equal to
the occasion. Every time the Arab
attempted to take aim Jack flung
himself down in the sand and, on
the other side, the Arab, who was up
to his waist in the water, ducked un-
de-neath whenever the sailor cover
ed him with his rifle. Jack did not
seem 10 realize the danger of letting
the Arab come within range of his
gun until the interpreter had repeat
edly told him that if he did not
pink" the Arab, the Arab would
pink" him. So the next chance he
got he fired, and must have struck
the Arab somewhere in the chest, for
he Just shrieked "Allah!" threw up
his arms, and sank beneath the wa
ter. When the officer returned he
found his man and the interpreter in
quiet possession of a 57-ton dhow
with thirty five slaves in her. The
dhow has been condemned, the
slaves liberated, and the court has
expressed an opinion that the
Arabs death was perfect justifiable.

The l,icxpockss's Methods.
When a mob of pickpockets star

When a mob of pickpockets start
out to "work" crowd on a train,
they break into twos. The operator
on leather "fans" the intended VIC
tim. This, in plain English, means
that he ascertains the exact location
of the vic.im's money. He gets to
the side of the man whose pocket is
to be picked, and with rapid move
ment dexterously passes his I'm
gers lightly over every pocket. His
touch is SO delicate that it enables
him to locate the Doodle, and to as
certain its character, whether roll,
a purse, or pocket book. The surg
ing of the crowd, especially On a
crowded railway train, accounts 10
unsuspicious travellers for the occa-
sional jostline they receive. 1t Is
found that the most common recep-
tacle for the pocket book is the left
trousers pocket, front. When the
victim is selected, one of the brace
of thieves plants himself squarely
in front of him, while the other
crowds up behind on the right side
The operator in front, under cover
of newspaper or coat thrown
over the arm, feels the pocket, and
if the victim is a stiff-necked or
straight-backed man in standing
position, be finds the lips of the
pocket drawn close together. In this
case it is dangerous to attempt the
insertion of the hand A very low
toned clearing of the throat, followed
by gutteral rouse, is the signal for
his pal to exert gentle pressure
upon the victims right shoulder.
This is so gradually extended that
the traveller yields to the pressure
without knowing it, and without
changing the position of his feet.
This throws the lips of the pocket
open for the operator in front, who
does not attempt to insert his hand
and draw the book out, but works
on the lining. He draws 1t out an
eighth of an inch at time without
inserting his fingers more than half
way.
Should this process of drawing the
contents of the pocket to its mouth
be felt by the victim, another low
clearing of the throat gives the sign
to the confederate, and the game is
dropped. If the victims suspicious
are not aroused. the pickpocket con-
tinues at his work of drawing the
lining out until the roll of bills, the
purse or the pocket book is within
reach of the deft fingers. 1t is then
grasped between the index and mid
die fingers and gently drawn out.
The successful completion of the job
is indicated by a gentle chiriup, like
the chirp of canary, and the prec-
cious pair separate from their victim
to play the same trick on the next
one.

An Episode at Dinner.

Two men sat supping in Broad

of human beings. They were Rear
Admiral S. B. Luce, of the United
States navy, and Gen. Philip r. de
Trobriand, of the Army. And yet
they refrained from Staying the wal

they have inflicted capital punish

they We're through with eating and
drinking the General asked for the
check, and the waiter brought it.
The amount was s335. A SIS bill
was handed to him, and presently
he returned with check on a plate
A dollar note, dime and five cents
lay atop Of the slip of paper, under
which was concealed half dollar.
The General took up the note, left
the fifteen cents as a tip TO the wal.
ter, and got up to depart with his
friend.
"Stopl" thundered the admiral
to the waiter. "Set down that plat
ter"
"Yes saire, responded the French
man, ,obeying with greater reluctance
than he spoke.
Now, General, look at this and
learn lesson" the admiral contin-
tinued. "The change out of the S5
ought to have amounted to s1.65.
You only got 81, and gave fifteen
cents to this rascal. You never

many walters with considerable sue

B,acksmiths' Hammer Signals.

There are few persons, either In
the city or country who have not at
times watched blacksmith at work
in his shop with his assistant, or
striker. They have noticed that the
smith keeps up constant succession
of motions and taps with a small
hand hammer. while with his left
hand he turns and moves the hot
iron which the assistant is striking
with a sledge. The taps are not pur-
poseless, but given entirely for the
direction of the striker. According
to a writer in the Hardware Report
err the signals as given by the black
smith and wheelright, are as follows ::
When the blacksmith gives the
anvil quick, light blows, it is a sig
nal to the helper to use the sledge or
20 strike quicker.
The force of the blows given by
the blacksmith'5 hammer indicates
the force OF blow it is required TO
give the sledge.
The blacksmith's helper Is sup
posed to strike the work in the mid
die of the width of the anYil, and
when this requires to be varied the
blacksmith indicates where the
sledge blows are to fall by touching
the required spot with his hand
hammer.
If the sledge is required to have a
lateral motion while descending, the
blacksmith indicases the same to the
helper by delivering hand hammer
blows in which the hand hammer
moves in the direction required for
the sledge to move.
|. the blacksmith delivers heavy
blow upon the work and an interme-
diate light blow on the anvil, it de-
notes that heavy sledge blows are
required.
If there are two or more helpers,
the blacksmith strikes a blow be-
tween each helpers sledge hammer
blow, the object being to merely de-
note where the sledge blows are TO
fall.
When the blacksmith desires the
sledge blows to cease, he lets the
hand hammer head fall upon the
anvil and continue its rebound up
on the same until it ceases.
Thus the movements of the hand
hammer constitute signals to the
helper, and what appear desultory
blows to the common observer con-
stitute the method of communica-
ton between the blacksmith and
his helper.
