A Triumph of Skill,

From the Scientific Amer lean.
At u recent meeting of the Engineers
club of Philadelphia, the secretary
read a detailed description OF the
moving OF the Hotel Pelham, at Ire
mont and Boyleston streets, Boston,
for the purpose OF widening fremont
street.
This hotel is built of freestone and
brick, ninety-six and sixty nine feet
frontage. The Boylestone street wall
is supported on eight granite columns
twelve feet high, three and four feet
square. There is basement and
seven stories above the sidewalk.
Height above tramway on which
it was moved, ninety-six feet.
Weight, five thousand tons,
exclusive of furniture; which was not
disturbed during the removal, rs also
were not the occupants of the stores
on the first floor and some of the
rooms, the various pipe connections
being kept up with flexible tubes.
Careful experiments with models
showed that if the lower part Of the
building was firmly braced there was
no danger OF shifting in the parts
above. The general arrangements
consisted OF heavy and substantial
stone and brick foundations for iron
rails and rollers, and the building was
forced to its new position by sixty-six
screws, two inches in diameter. half
inch in pitch, operated by hand
against timbers arranged to uniform
1y distribute the pressure against
the building. Much care and in
genuity were displayed in the de-
tails III the arrangement and work.
Two months and twenty days were
occupied III preparation. The moving
Itself was begun on August 2l, and
finished on August 25, but the actual
time ofnoving was but thirteen hours
and forty minutes. The greatest
speed two inches in four minutes.
The hotel moved about one-ci,ht OF

Tho Tjbbette Case,

The case OF The State now ON trial Mt
Chippewa Falls, Wis.,, vs. L. J. Newald and
Abe Goldcnbery, or better known as the
Sadie Tibbetts case, ia one that has made
Il considerable sensation here. Mrs.
Tibbetts told her story in a straightfor.
ward and clear manner at the preliminary
examination, which was not held until
crime. On the evening OF its occurrence
she was going to the depot at about Z
O'Clock in the evening to take the train to
Eau Claire. While passing along one OF
the ;nain business streets she was accosted
by an unknown man. and before she could
pass she was seized from behind, her cries
smothercd and dragged up stairs. Being
locked into room, she was repeatedly

and when the proprietor OF the store
came he found her standing at tho door
nearly frozen. Going into the store to get
warm, she told her story and was advised
to go to the police station and repeat it
there. A friend OF the assailants, and a
former sheriff. was among the suspected,
but he emphaticaly denied tho charge.
but said that lie paid the woman $3.50 as
hush money in behalf OF his friends. Public
interest in the affair subsidized. but it was

were detained in jail az witnesses. From
the story told by the Tibbctts 1t appears
that Newall persuaded them to come to

tho country before the trial came on.
They were paid $500 and given q draft OF
$1,000, hut instead of buying the draft

and givin; them this started a man with
them 10 Portland, Or. A few days after
their arrival they asked tho hotel
keeper to accompany them to the bank
to identity tLem. lie did so, but as soon
as the draft was presented it was seen that
it was worthless and explained to them.
On returning to the hotel they told the
whole story OF the crime and how they
had been tricked. Tho landlord at once
telegraphed District Attorney Wall that
the Tibbetts were there. asking what he
should do with them. The district attor.
ney had To his great surprise found that
the Tibbetts had left the country and
was doing all in his power to trace
them, but when this piece OF news
came he tried to keep it secret,
but in some way the alleged assailants
on their way back they were watching the
Omaha depot to intercept them. But Mr..
Wall knowing this telcyraphed them to
come from st. Paul by another road, and
thus landed them safely in Jail. Mrs. lib.
hetts the victim OF the assault, is frail,
delicate woman, and about the size OF a
twelve-ycar- old girl. She is only about
nineteen years OF age and was MARI ed
last September. The defense will try to
break down her character. which is their
chief argument.
