Ohlei Engineer johnson. OF the y. 1t. p.
M. & o. division Of the Chicago & North
western railroad, "a announced and the
statement made that he came from
Harrington, overland, via ST. helena.
Relative to this movement the Harting-
ton Democrat says:
The chief engineer, and two assistants,
of the Chicago st. Paul, Minneapolis d
Omaha road arrived here on Monany
evening. On Tuesday morning they
drove to st. Helena and thence to Ysnk-
ton. From what we can learn they in
tend to extend this branch. running to.

and from their northwest, somewhere
near the bluff TO the southeast corner vi
Divid Nelson's farm From there the
main line will extend to Yankton. and o
switch will be built down to the pro-
peoted cement mills ct ST. Helena A
town will very likely spring up or Mr..
| Nelson's farm, and they will probably
cross the river at shat point aud u to
Yspkton Oh the Dakota side. To the
best of our knowledge and belief, the
statement We make above Is correct.
Upon the same subject the Harrington
NoDparie! says:
that this road would be extended this
spring. IL is now almost an assured
fact-Mondsy evening the chief engi-

in and left next morning for Yanktoa.
We understand they dfove from here TO
81. James, thence TO Yankton. Just
what route will be adopted ia of course
uncertain. but il is generally thought il
will strike the river below Ysnkton
thence up she bottom. st Helena peo-
pie of course, expect a crossing to be
established there, while Atenites are
equally hopeful.
Others predict that Bentz's hill just
above Mr.. Nelson's farm and about mid
way between 81. Helena and Ysnkton
will be selected-either Of the places
mentioned ere desirable crossings sos
either transfer or bridge. It is stated
upon good authority that the transfer
boat nsed at Sioux City before the com
nletion of the bridge goes to Yankton.
We expect to see dirt flying IN q short
time and a direct railroad connection
with Yankton in the neal future.
The movements of che Northwestern
engineers indicate i'm intention to ex
tend from Harrington via the Bow creef
valley to S.. James. II the extension
comes TO Yankton from 81. James TIL
route will be up the Missouri river OF
one side or the other.

THE LOG SHANTY PULLED.
Disgraceful Orgies That the Police
Interrupted on the Meadows.

About two O'Clock Saturday morning,
while on post at the West End. Patrol
man Mcclure was accosted by man
employed by Edward Walker, coal deal
er. The man told him that while he was
coming from Snake Hill an hour before,
three men ''stood him up'' on the Mont
clair Railroad near Pen Horn Creek, and
after beating him had robbed him of five
dollars. He recognized one of his assail-
ants as a man named Lynch and another
as Purcell, Mcclure accompanied the
man to the locality and learned that an
old shanty on the meadows, difficult to
approach owing to the tide, was occupied
by gang of men and women for immoral
purposes, but the occupants had got out
of the way before his arrival.
He examined the shanty and found
they had left a fire in stove made from
an old milk can and over which chicken
was boiling in pot.
Several railroad car cushions, evidently
stolen, q quantity of salt hay for bedding,
some dilapidated chairs and a table con-
stituted the furniture, and a goodly sup
ply of vegetables, together with some
bottles of whiskey told how the gang
proposed to live and be merry
The shanty had been constructed of old
logs washed in by the tide, and it was a
model in construction. The roofing is
made from tin car covering, and piece
of canvass serves as a door. Mcclure
waited until daylight, hoping for the re-
turn of the gang, bnt he waited in vain,
and was obliged to leave without bagging
any of them
Yesterday afternoon Captain Newton
sent Policemen Mcguire, Sutton and
Lomasney to the place. The approach to
the shanty was over single iron track
rail- across ditch. The policemen
found the shanty deserted and the
furniture and provisions gone. They
learned that the party had moved into
another shanty about one-fourth of a
mile distant, on the Meadows, and
going to the new home they found
eleven men and three women in posses
sion. Neither Lynch nor Purcell was in
the gang that consisted of well-known
hoodlums.
The women were in shameful state of
dishabille and the gang were holding high
reyel. The men broke and made for the
swamp. The women-Rosanna Smith,
notorious character, who left Snake
Hill ten days ago, Kate McEnerney, aged
twenty-four, and Kate Waters, seven
teen-were arrested and taken to the Oak
land avenue station as disorderly per-
sons

The French Engineer Says He Could
Build One Twice as High as the Pari-
sian One.
By Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, Oct. s, 18S9.-A well known
London engineer, who was one of the $50
members of the Iron and Steel Institute
who were entertained in Paris last week
by NJ. Eiffel and the President of the
French Society of Engineers. gives an
interesting account of g conversation he
had with NJ. Eiffel, in which that gentle
man gives his opinion of the feasibility
of constructing tower on the plan
of the Eitfel structure in Paris of such
dimensions as are proposed for the tower
to be constructed on the site of the New
York Worlds Exposition of 1892. In
this conversation M. Eiffel expressed his
unbounded confidence that the plan of
notifications which experience had sug-
gested to him, could be safely adopted for
tower twice its height, and that
with this plan tower of any altitude
desired presented no engineering difficult
ties whatever. but was simply question
of outlay. Ii the American Exposition
Committee were ambitious to possess Il
tower fifteen hundred or two Thousand
feet high they had simply to provide the
funds and the structure would spring
from the ground in nine months after the
order was given. OF course
great care would have to
be exercised in the selection
of suitable site, as upon this would very
largely depend the stability of the struc-
ture. When questioned as to whether
he would have any professional connec-
tion with the construction of the pco-
posed American tower, M. Eiffel SAT- it
was too early yet to reach any definite un-
derstanding, but he was already in COM
munication on the subject with New York
parties.

A DANGEROUS CROSSING.
Two Others within an Ace of Being
Killed Where Old Mr.. Carmen
Was Struck. ia

Was struck. ~
Coroner Brackner and jury empan-
elled to investigate the death Of Herman
Carmen, the old man who was killed at
the Westside avenue crossing Of the
Pennsylvania railroad while wheeling
baby carriage over on Monday last,
listened to testimony at the Court House
last evening. The witnesses were SO
numerous that all could not be heard in
one evening, and at half past ten o'clock,
the Coroner adjourned the inquest till
next Friday
Joseph Garrett, of No. IS Linden ave-
nue., witnessed the accident, In company
with his father ne was driving ina buggy
in the direction of the crossing. He did
not see the approaching train till within
twenty feet of the crossing and had
barely time to bring his horse to stand
still. He saw an old gentleman coming
from the opposite side pushing baby
carriage in front of him. A freight train
was standing a short distance away On
the same side from which the old man
started to cross. Mr.. Garrett did not
think it possible for the old man to have
seen the approaching train because the
freight train obstructed his view. Nor
was the gateman to blame, for the same
reason. The unfortunate victim had
started across before the gates were
1OWcI6u.
Dewitt G. Garrett, the former witness
father, testified that had they not been
able to pull up within a few feet of the
crossing, they, too, would have been
struck by the engine.
Telegraph operator f. E. Collins testi-
fed that when he first saw the poor old
fellow pushing his baby carriage the old
man was on the west bound freight track,
moving from the north side. He was
crossing from No. track to No. /. There
was freight train standing on the east
bound freight track, hiding from his view
the east bound passenger train which
struck him. The gate was down behind
him. saw the gateman raise the gate on
the south side of the track in order to let
him out. The unfortunate was within
half step of clearing the track.
John Headden, a coal dealer, of No. 149
Magnolia avenue, testified that If the
gateman had lowered the gates On the
opposite side the baby would also have
been killed.
Engineer Charles Naimby testified that
the train was moving at the rate OF
twenty miles an hour and that it was i'm
possible to check the train in time to save
him.
Philip Mulligan, the yard master at
Marion, testified that the gateman is not
necessarily Obliged to see train coming.
A gateman always receives signal from
the telegraph operator.
Peter S. McGovern testified that when
within freight trains length of the
crossing he saw two men in buggy pull
ing their horse up and back from under
the gates.
