named L. S. Burlington, of this city, has
secured large number of patents, both in
this country and in Europe, on an invention
of his own, which he claims will reyolu-
tionize the world of building. His patents
cover all parts of the system of buildings
known as Burlington patent of iron build
ing construction. By it buildings can be
constructed OF any desired hight, the favor
ite number of the inventor being twenty
eight stories.
The building will be entirely of iron,
starting from the foundation like the base
of Il bridge on piers. Laminated iron pill
lars rise flom this foundation, diminishing
in size as they ascend. They are to be
braced diagonally by iron girders and hor-
izontal iron beams
Mr.. Burlington has submitted his plan to
practical engineers and no flaws can be
found. A syndicate of capitalists are back
ing his system, and will erect in this city a
building eighty feet square ana twenty

Ell PAso, March 23d.-Ex-Sheriff Paul,
OF Pima county, Arizona, who participated
in the killing of the STEMS Pass train
robbers near CIsihuirachica, in Chihuahua
is in FL Paso. He gives a vivid description
of the scene. The three robbers, Hart, John
son and Shehan, obtained shelter under
false pretenses in an adobe house, inhabited
by about twenty Mexicans containing two
rooms. Mr.. Paul, Nick Pierce of the Mex
lean Central, a Mexican Sergeant and five
soldiers attacked the place about o'clock
in the evening" but at the first assault the
Mexican Sergeant was shot through the
heart.
Reinforcements were then obtained, and
at o'clock the next morning a regular
seige commenced. As the building had
only one door, they could safely approach
on three sides. A hole was cut IN the
adobe wall, through which the Mexicans
escaped without notice by the robbers
who were busy watching the front door.
After this
THE ROOF WAS SET ON FIRE,
Which soon drove the desperadoes out.
Hart was killed as he appeared at the door
Shehan was shot through the neck, and
retreated into the burning building. John
ston charged, with revolver in each hand,
upon the attacking posse, and died fight
ing,
RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
In the burning building Shehan was found
dead and his body burned. Only 5000 in
cash was found on their persons, although
they got from the train over 81 200. 1t is
thought they buried the money and val
uables in the burned building.
Two of the dead men formerly lived at
STEMS Peak. One was a well-digger, and
the other kept saloon, Their antecedents
are not known.

ICoppiGh. 1885, by The California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 23d.-The death of
Chief Justice Waite makes, under the
practice of the Supreme Court, Justice
Miller acting Chief Justice of the Court
| until such time as the President appoints a
new Chief Justice. Mr.. Miller is the old
est Justice, in point of service, on the
bench, his commission antedating that of
| Justice Field by only eight months. Both
were appointed by Abraham Lincoln, and
both have served over quarter of GEN.
| tury on the bench.
| Roger B. Taney was Chief Justice when
Field and Miller were appointed, and
| Salmon 2. Chase succeeded Taney AID
| Waite succeeded Chase. Miller occupied
the seat of honor on the right of the Chief
Justice, by virtue of his seniority, and
Field sat upon his left. Newly appointed
Justices are assigned to seats on the ex-
| treme ends of the long bench behind which
! the members of the Court sit, and they
| gradually move up nearer the Chief Justice
as vacancies occur and other appointments
are made.
PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES.
There is great interest felt in the appoint
| ment of the successor to the Chief Justice,
and already the merits of prospective can
didates are being discussed. There is no
idea that either of the two Democratic
! members of the Court-Field and Lamar
| will be promoted. The only promotion of
Justice of the Court to be Chief Justice
| was that of John Rutledge, the second
Chief Justice, who served only one term,
his nomination, after a long delay, being
rejected by the Senate.
Before Chief Justice Waite was nomi-
| mated, President Grant had nominated
George H. Williams, of Oregon. and Caleb
Cushing, of Massachusetts, but the feeling
| against both of them was so strong mat
| their names were withdrawn. Waite was
confirmed by the unanimous vote of the
Senate.
Among the names most prominently
| mentioned for Waite's successor are those
of Secretaries Bayard and Villas. Post
master-General Dickinson, Speaker Carlisle.
Ex-Governor Hoadly, formerly of Ohio and
at present of New York, and William L.
Putnam, of Maine, late member of the
Fisheries Conference. Mr.. Phelps, the
Minister to England, is also spoken of in
connection with the appointment.
