Messrs. Houghton, Miffiin & Co., have begun
the publication of a series of books, to be known
as The Riverside Aldime Series, and to include
representative works by American authors,
who are at once of established reputation and
in close relation with the readers of to day.
The aim of the publishers Of the series Is to
"give the best which the printers art in Ameri-
ca can produce; and since they believe in fol-
lowing a style which was adopted when print
ing was most closely connected with the fine
arts, and repeated by the most celebrated of
English publishers and printers, rather than
in attempting something which should affect
novelty, they have ventured to give to the series
name which indicates that it is an American
variation of the well-known English STYLE"

Pacific, has one of these books, which contains a
partially flledoat blank. which he fills out. and
then sends to the Vandalia ticket Office ordering
a ticket without naming the rate simply saving

Vandalia object to this, saying that as no rate is
named, there is likely cut in rates made in
some manner"

HOPES DISSIPATED.
A Report That Will Be Heard with Sorrow by
Several Indianapolis People.

There are a number of persons in Indianapolis
who entertain great expectations as heirs OK the
Townley estate in England. A recent article in
the New York World is calculated to dash all
the hopes of these expectant heirs TO the ground
1t appears that the claimants in this country,
are mostly represented in the Lawrence
Townley Association, formed at Dayton, o.,
many years ago. Large sums of money have
been raised by the issuance of bonds or scrip
promising fabulous wealth to any who
would buy them, which bonds were sold
for S. to $40 each. The money all
went to agents, who hunted over the records
of England. There have been American claim
ants for fifty years and more, but they have
been, and are to-day, mostly women, who, in
spite of the statute of limitations, which bars
them out of the estate effectually, have gone on
hoping to realize great riches, and plnching
themselves to maintain agents In England. who
lived IN luxury off their contributions The IN
terest is kept alive and the delusion perpetuated
by occasional dispatches from England. which
represent the value of the estate at f1Ol 100000,
which is increasing by the accruing interest.
James Murray, an attorney, who went to Eng
land in 1883 for certain New York claimants,
printed an elaborate report in which he ex-
ploded the whole thing He says the property
has been represented as unclaimed, but is and
has been for hundreds of years occupied by the
Townley family. and the statute of limitations
requires an occupancy of only fifty years to bar
all other claims. He says that the people who
are paying agents in Tendon are simply contrib
utlng to their support, and tire statement that
the case was before the Queens Bench was I'M
true; it is not and never will be there He says
also, that the people whom he represented were
satisfied that there was nothing in the claim and
had dropped it.

Some weeks since mention was made that the
Wabash people were having trouble with their
bridge over the Kankakee river from the stone
piers settling. The work of bringing these piers
back to alignment has just been completed in the
following manner: The bed rock under the river
was of varying degrees of hardness, and the piers
were built upon wood platforms which rested
upon place prepared in the bed of the river
merely by removing some of the loose material
In time the rapid current moved enough of the
gravel beneath these platforms to move the
piers. The difficulty was remedied without in
terruption to traffic by divers, who removed the
loose material between the bottom of each tim
Der and the bed rock by loosening it with bars
and the securing action of jet Of water; oak tim
bers were fastened upon the bed rock. and pairs
of wedges, like printers quoins, inserted be-
tween the top Of the oak timber and the bottom
of the platform The wedges were driven by a
steel bar weighing 800 pounds or about 700
pounds in the water, which was suspended by
wires from the bridge above and used as batter
ing ram against the wedges. The wedges were
afterwards secured by bolts, which passed
through wedges and TIMBER 100 wedges were
used on each of the three piers, and the work
was completed in ninety days by three divers
and their attendant help.
