The indictments found by the Federal
Grand Jury came like n thunderbolt from
a clear sky on Saturday. There is little
fortune in the bundle for the District At.

will amount to nothing. Few there are

because the District Attorney has been

losses and perturbation OF spirit as q
Gubernatorial candidate and Presidential

may never be tried. II is merely one
method of building up sentiment with
the hope OF securing u double hali-hitch

Lincoln president He declined to take office
under the administration though the Peru
Wan mission and other places OF honor were
offered him, but he remained in Washington
through most of the war, was frequently con
suited and employed in delicate and confiden-
tial missions. He went to Missouri with dis
cretionary powers to remove Gen. Fremont
and reorganize the department, and did the
work with rare skill and diplomacy. At the
close of the war he located In Chicago, where
he became the successful lawyer, taking com
paratively little share in politics
Leonard SWEET was born Aug. II, 1926 on
a farm in Oxford county, Me, worked hard
In youth and gained tolerably liberal edu-
cation by study in the winters. Emigrating
to the west at majority, he enlisted rs prl-
vate for the Mexican war and returned an
invalid, unable to get any further than Hill
nois. This fixed his residence at Blooming
ton, in that state, where he entered on the
practice Of law on the same circuit with Abra-
ham Lincoln, Stephen II. Logan, U. F. Lin
der. Edward ID. Baker and Others who have
made that circuit immortal. Judge David
Davis long presided over that circuit In
1854 he married Miss Laura r, Quigg, and
they had one child, Leonard Herbert SWEET
now about 80 years old. She died early in
1885, and the next year he married Miss Marie
Decker who had been his clerk in the law
office for several years-a marriage which ex'
cited much Chicago comment at the time.
Mr.. SWEETS experience at the bar was re
markablc. He defended twenty-nine mel
accused Of murder and secured the acquittal
of all but one, who was sentenced to the pen
Tertiary for life, but afterwards pardoned
He then took charge of the Anarchists cause
after they had been removed to the supreme
court, but was defeated. In civil cases ht
was scarcely less successful. His untiring in
dustry in preparing his cases and his power
before jury brought this success. In per

completed will be one OF the most imposing
in America There is about it something OF
the appearance Of the suspension bridge
which arisesfrom the curves OF its super
structure.
The ability of engineers of the present day
to remove earth rapidly is well illustrated in
the reopening Of the Tilley Foster mine,
about fifty miles from New York, on the
New York and Harlem railroad. The ore
contained in this mine is very valuable, and
has been largely used in the production OF
Bessemcr pig, but owing TO an everything
stratum there was great difficulty in mining
In order to support the roof, large quantities
Of the ore had to DO left in position. Con-
crete pillars were tried but found liable to be
crushed All plans having failed it was at
Inst determined to remove the super strata
and expose tho ore.
The work was commenced two years ago,
in June, 1887, and has since been steadily
pushed forward. Up to March, 1889, $50 900
cubic yards of material were taken out.
There is now great hole $50 feet long, 800
feet wide and no feet deep. OF the material
removed there have been 1900 cubic yards
of rock in which ore was mixed, but this is
small compared with what must follow, for
there are still $4,000 cubic yards of rock to

be excavated TO secure a million tons OF ore.
The excavation Of this rock costs Sl.15 for
each cubic yard. The material is removed
by means Of series Of wire cables stretched
across the pit, which lower empty car bodies
into the pit and bring them up full and place
them on trucks. The blasting material used
Is rackarock.

THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE.

The crossing is placed about half mile
above the ferry, the new line making de-
tour on the New London shore and leaving
The land at Winthrops Point The Thames
river Is tidal estuary about fourteen miles
long, New London being situated at its mouth.
The United States government has naval
seation above the bridge, and that there
should DO no obstruction In the way OF
pasdng vessels made requirement that there
urtt BIO an immense draw. There are two
openings, one on each side Of the pillar on
which the draw rests, Of 225 feet, making
draw SOC feet long. This bridge may be
swmg around in a complete circle, following
the motion Of the passing vessel and thus
saving time This is the usual plan OF draw
bridges at lake cities, like Chicago and Mil
waukee. The machinery for moving the
draw is placed upon the central pier, below
the bridge span. An engine moves the span
on turn table OF steel.
Where the bridge is located the distance
from shore to shore Is 800 feet The chan
mel is from 40 to 60 feet deep, and hard bot
tom is only found 1870 feet below the water
surface. An open caisson was sunk into
dredged hole IL feet below the natural bot
tom, and In this piling was driven down to
hard bottom. Upon tho piling an open top
caisson was sunk. The masonry for the piers
was laid on tho bottom Of the caisson while it
loated, and the weight gradually sunk it
until it reached the piling. The masonry
was then carried up to the requisite height.
The superstructure Is of steel. The bridge

and endeavored TO initiate II, but thus Tar In
vain.
Now comes Mr. Herman A. j. Rieckert, OF
New York, with still another patent. The
main feature of his machine is balloon
made in three compartments, the lower one
held in framework, over which is the sec
ond, and on this is the third, which is ex-
posed 10 the action Of the wind, and with its
edges attached 10 the framework. There Is
the usual hanging basket, which in this case
contains motive power for operating side
wings and central wings. The steering de-
vice is located in the front of the basket. IL
consists of vertical wing mounted to swing
and u disk wing pivoted on the vertical wing,
ropes extending into the basket for operating
the wings.
A suction wheel is mounted above the
basket aud at its rear, the power being trans
mitted through friction wheel In the
basket are wheels mounted, 20 be rotated 10y
crank arms and treadlcs after the bicycle
fashion.
The different compartments of the balloon
are covered with silk as is usual, and tho top
compartment is made 20 shift into different
positions according 10 direction and strength
of wind.
The mechanism in all its various features
can hardly be understood except with the aid
of a model in operation. Like all other ma
chimes of the kind, there are a number of con-
nections and bits of mechanism too detailed

A Brilliant Lawyer Who Was Friend of

Leonard SWEET, the eloquent lawyer, re-
Gently deceased, was not very old man, and
vet he had to certain extent outlived his
fame, which was at its maximum some TWEEN
ty-five years ago. Alexander Hamilton once
said, with something like sigh, that no fame
was so evanescent as that of great jury
lawyer, and though Mr.. SWEET was undoubt-
edly the most successful jury lawyer of this
era, his fame as far rs it is lasting will rest
upon his early and efficient support of Abra-
ham Lincoln and his splendid services in deli
cate management during the war. He made
the speech in convention putting Abraham
Lincoln in nomination, and twenty-eight
years later in the same city did the same
service for Judge Walter Q. Gresham.
In the anti-savery contest he was great
power in Illinois, his speeches from 1852 to
1865 being very numerous and wonderfully
effective. In 1853 re was elected to the legis-
lature by majority greater than that of the
