A Suspension Bridge Blown Away.

LocKroRr, N. y, Jan. l0.-The suspen-
sion bridge situated nearest the falls was
carried away by the gale about o'clock

bridge will probably be rebuilt as soon as
possible.
All points OF interest along the river at
the waters edge suffered more or less. The
water was never known to be so high The
International Hotel was unrooied. Several
buildings were blown down in the vicin.

ENGLISH POSTAL TELEGRAMS.
How Messa gcs are Forwarded by Wire and
Mail in Great Britain.

How Messag ges are Forwarded by Wire and
MaiLin Great Britain.
''There is system of sending kilograms
in use in England, "said Pittsburg gen.
tleman recently, (which might be of some
practical advantage if adopted in this coun-
try. For example, resident of any portion
of the city, desiring to send a message by
telegraph, writes it on specially prepared
blank and drops it into the nearest letter
box. The letters are collected very frequent
ly and all kilograms found in the box are
taken to the nearest telegraph Office and at
once forwarded to their destination. Thus
the telegraphic business is managed with a
very small number of sub-ofices, and there
is little more delay than there would be if
messengers were employed.
"Another and still better feature of the
British telegraphic system is this: Suppose
you are in city and wish to send a. tele
gram to some friend living in the country,
it may be several miles from a telegraph
Office You write your message on blank
and it is sent by telegraph to the station
nearest your friend residence. There it is
put in the mail for immediate delivery, and
the person to whom it is addressed receives
it without incurring any extra expense,
whereas, if the delivery were made by a
telegraph messenger, the cost would be con-
siderable. A message can be sent in this
way several hours, and often a day, sooner
than letter could go by mail, while the
expense is only that of an ordinary tele-
gram. Of course they have special messen-
gers for delivering kilograms when re-
quired, but the method I have described
answers very we'll when no unusual haste is
necessary"

The New Secretary Pleased to Favor Mr..
Bayard at Any Time.
= WASHINGTON, March 6.-At 2 o'clock
this afternoon Mr.. Blaine came to the De-
partment of State. A curious crowd filled
the hallway before the door of the
Secretary's room. Secretary Bayard cordi-
ally received Mr.. Blaine, and they
exchanged courteous remarks for time,
while waiting for the arrival of Justice
Miller. The interval was little tedious
and Mr.. Blaine walked about the room,
looking at the pictures and opening note
accompanying bouquet of cut flowers.
Assistant Secretary Moore and the few
division chiefs were introduced, and at 2:30
o'clock the Justice arrived. Mr.. Blaine re-
peated the oath of Office in the pres
ence of Secretary Bayard, Assistant
Secretaries Moore and Adee, Walker
Blaine, Mr.. Sherman and Chief
Clerk Lee. There was an exchange of COM
pliments between the Justice and the new
Secretary, who, as he took the seat of Office,
remarked politely to Mr.. Bayard that as
long as he occupied the chair, he would be
pleased to do whatever he could at his re.

A Horses Revenge.

81 will just tell you story" said Mr.. Foster
l. Backus, about the memory and reasoning
power possessed by a horse on my fathers
farm. This horse was in the habit of making
journeys about the neighborhood in charge of
a certain groom, who was coarse, ignorant, low
and cruel. The horse had been brought up on
gentle, but the groom's roughness and fondness
for laying on the whip confused him SO much
that he was not prompt in oDeying orders some
times. Then the groom beat and bullied him.
The horse never showed the slightest sign of
resentment until one day the groom ap-
preached him in the pasture field. The horse
his enemy, and he charged the groom. A
short halter was around his neck, and the
groom seized this and hung on. The horse
tried to strike him with his forefeet; tried to
bite and kick him. The man lodged and
shouted for aid.
"The fight was desperate and very exciting.
The horse fairly roared with rage. The groom
was nearly tagged out, and in another five
minutes would have been knocked down and
trampled to death, when my father came on
the scene. He seized the halter and told the
groom to run. As soon as he was gone the
horse subsidized and was as docile as ever.
Now am satisfied that the horse deliberately
planned to kill that groom at the first favorable
opportunity. See low carefully he chose the
time and place of the assault A lonely pasture
field where he had his enemy all to himself.
He had never shown the faintest sign of VIC
iousness before. The groom kept away from
him after that and the horse neversafterward
the groom it would have been murder in the
first degree, for the element of deliberation
was there. Yes, sir; horses have reason, and
they have memory also. ."-BrOokiyn Eagle.

IBY CABLE TO THE D1spArcH.l


LONDON, March 6.-Many hours were oc-
cupied to-day reading more Irish World
editorials and examining unimportant wit
nesses. Among the latter was Andrew COL
man, formerly Mayo gamekeeper, who
volunteered from America to give evidence.
Colman Joined the Fenians in 1866, and has
been police spy for many years.
His evidence was similar to and as unlm-
portant as that given by several informers
who has been produced by the Times, but
there was one novel point in it.
Eight years ago he actually saw Mr.. Par
nell on platform at public meeting in
conversation with Fenian named Nc
Aulay.
A man with knowledge so precious could
not be allowed to bury himself in the wilds
of America, and so Colman has had pleas
ant trip in Europe with comfortable quar-
ters in London and plenty of nice things to
eat and drink. There is reason to believe
the Times will finish its case within fort
night.
In the event of the Parnell Commission
presenting no interim report on the forged
letters, the opposition contemplate motion
to adjourn in order to call attention to the
action of the Government in aiding the
prosecution to collect evidence, or an address
to the Crown regarding the expenses Of the
commission,

IRON STAFF CORRESPONDENT!
HARRISBURG, March, 6. = Governor
Beaver arrived home late this afternoon
happy, but tired. Adjutant General Hast
ings also arrived home, using cane to aid
his limping footsteps. A gentleman who
came from Louisiana as a substitute on the
Chief Marshal's staff for General Longstreet
happened to ride vicious horse, and the
horse got near enough one time to General
Hastings to plant severe kick on the Gen.
erals ankle. Though suffering great pain,
he kept his seat in the saddle until the pro-
cession was over.
Auditor General McCamant and Attorney
General kirkpatrick got back to-day con-
vinced that it would have been splendid
time If it hadn't been for the crowds and
the dampness. Cashier Livesy, of the State
Treasury, doesn't look like a man who was
thrown by his horse during the grand
parade. Senators and members of the
Legislature returned to-day in about equal
numbers from their homes and from Wash
ington and compared notes, with the gen.
eral result that those who went home are
glad they did and those who went to WASH
ington are sorry they didn't go home. The
happiest man among the Senators, perhaps,
is Thomas W. Cooper, the blonde statesman
from Delaware county, who comes back
assured that he can be Collector of the Port
of Philadelphia if he wants the position.
Mr.. Cooper is certain that he does want it,
and he isn't caring just now whether the
Senatorial apportionment bill knocks out
his Senatorial district or whether it doesn't.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
NEW YORK, March 6.-There was fight
on the sidewalk in front of Mike Kelly's
saloon on the Northeast corner of Thirty
first street and Sixth avenue, at 6 o'clock
this morning, and the few sporting men
who were attracted by the row recog-
nized the fighters as Jack Barnitt and Jack
Hayes, the friend and trainer of John L.
Sullivan. Only blow or two was struck,
and then the men disappeared into the
saloon. Those who followed them saw Sulli-
van lolling in a seat in the back room, and
his brother, Mike Sullivan, standing near
him. Conflicting stories of the cause of the
rupture between the men were circulated.
Neither one of the principals in the row
nor Sullivan could be found tonight.
They had patched up the trouble, it
was stated, and were all said to be
at a Brooklyn theater. 1t is said that
the quarrel between the men grew out of an
effort of Hayes to get Sullivan to 60 to bed.
John Kelly insists that Sullivan was per-
feetly sober.

President Day Says Few Words About
Johnny Ward.

Johnny mhTOs
Regarding Wards case, President Day says:
when we closed our season last fall, L had
long talk with Ward, and he assured me it was
his earnest desire to leave New York. Certain
contingencies had arisen which made it desira-
Bile on his part to play elsewhere and he was
frank enough to tell meso. At that time he
said he would agree to any proposition that
might make with regard to his services. He
was perfectly willing to be sold to Boston or
Washington. l took him at his word and sold
him to Washington" have frequently stated
in the Herald my position in the matter and
nothing has occurred to change my views. The
agreement was made in good faith and will be
SO kept on my part. OF course. l do not wish
to part with Ward. No manager would, for he
is a valuable man, but why keep player, no
matter how clever, if he is. dissatisfied and de-
sires to leave? That is the only way to look at
it from business standpoint and that is the
way looked at it."
"Then you think, Mr.. Dag, that Ward will
play in Washington
II don't see why he should not. He will so
far as 1 am concerned.n
"How about Boston. Is there any truth in
the report that he will play there next
season.
mot the slightest In my opinion he will
play right here in Washington. l have heard
nothing from Ward since he left with the
around-the- world party. and Mr.. Hewitt tells
me that since his sale to him he has heard moth
ing. All the contradictory stories you see
printed are, in my Judgment pure inventions"

The Second Class City Bill is Laid TO

rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, March 6.-Among the
bills not called up tonight was the one en-
titled can act relating to cities" This is
the bill that created so much excitement
when the Allegheny members attempted to
have it made special order previous to the
February elections. 1t delegates large
powers to all cities, and also gives cities 60
ing from the third class to the second pow
ers different from those possessed by Pitts
burg. This is the second time the bill has
appeared before the House on second read
ing without being called up. According to
the rules, it will be heard of no more.
The same is true of the companion bill,
entitled 'An act dividing the cities of the
State into three classes" These bills are
rendered unnecessary to Allegheny by the
decision of the Supreme Court of the State.
The bill providing fer the purchase of lots
adjoining the Western Penitentiary was not
called up, but it will not be dropped.

must, the Court will decide that the Dill
means the expenses shall be equally divid-
ed. Now in Philadelphia the necessary
Improvements, at which the present bill
aims, have been going on under an arrange
ment between the Railroads Committee OF
Councils and the railroad corporations, ana
1 am unable to find that the cost to the
city has in any case been more than one
third of the necessary expense. Why not
let the thing go along in this way.
SIT seems to have worked very well thus
far in Philadelphia. And, besides if, as
the present amended bill provides, there
must be an arrangement between the NUM-
cipal and railroad corporations to have
grades changed and the payment provided
for, why have bill at all. We can make
the necessary arrangements now without it,
when we want to do so. I Think though,
that the Governor has just as good ground
for vetolng this bill as he had for vetoing
the other one"

this is the Third brigade of Pennsylvania

"When the last brigade, the Second, ap-

Senator Mehard, ''that the Pennsylvanian's

The McKeesporter Has a Friend Who
Talks Business.
Speaking of the recent boat race between
Teemer and Gaudaur yesterday, gentleman
interested in John Teemer said:
1--WE have always had money and plenty of it
to back Teemer against Gaudaur. Sundays
race was a foregone conclusion, not only with
professionals but with the public, simply be-
cause Teemer is a better rover than Gaudaur,
and O'Connor defeated Teemer with a lot to
spare at Washington. Of course Teemer is
ready at any time to row Gaudaur for an up
and up stake The McKeesport man will
probably be ready to take another shy at
O'Connor before the year closes. Teemer can
row better than many people think. He under
rated O'Connor at Washington, or more cor
rectly speaking he did not credit O'Connor
with the staying qualities that he, O'Connor,
possessed. 1 still have faith in Teemer, al
though we are all convinced that O'Connor is
a remarkable man. Certainly, 1 think him
good enough to beat any Australian. If Searle
would come here Teemer will row him for a
stake large enough to pay all expenses for the
journey and little over"
