THE STATE ROAD SENSATION.
There was considerable talk about the

that the Louisville and Nashville pr posed
to precipitate an issue with the state
on betterments by tearing up sidings,
and, to go to the Tennessee courts, and
had put the scheme IN the hands OF II. l.
Kimban for execu ion. Vice President
St hlman, of the L usville and Nashville
railroad, said to the News to-day that The
rumois were without foundation so far a.
they NJ ect Mr.. Kimbau with
the Louisville and Nashville. They
have not employed Mr.. kimbaIl
in any capacity, and ne Is not
in any sense authorized to speak
for them. While it is true the Lo Is

discussed lars of taking TIE question into
the courts, II has no desire to do 50, and
hopes an equitable settlement will be
reached with the Legislature Vice Pres
dent Stahlman further advised the NEWS
correspondent that the l. iulrvlile and Nash
vile Company would probably bid for the
lease. He frankly stated that the Louis
vile and Nashville company was pre-
pairing to ask the legislature for be- terments,
and the claim would be for the amount
of betterments aScertained by the commits
sion which recently up raised the road,
putting them at SG50.OOO MIR. Stahlmal
insists that if the minimum rental IS made
S35 900 per month it will be leased to some
corporation having necessity for the ad,
as the figure is beyond its earning capacity,
which would drive off individual bidder.
He further declared that the lease has paid

HIGH STRUCTURES vIBRArE.
A Remarkable Popularity OF All Tall

The attention Of President Orr has been
called to a remarkable popularity of the
produce exchange tower He WAS infor ned
that The tall structure vbrated perceptiblv
whenever there was even light wind, and
that a gale caused a decided swaying
motion.
Some of the brokers were surprised when
they learned that the tower did not stand
firm, but Alfred E. Pearsall cal'n~d them
by saying that all tall structures had the
same popularity. Any properly built wall
will vibrate.
The tallest piece Of masonry work in
Denver as just been completed in the finish
of the stack Of the city railway building.
This stack vibrates.
When the large chimney was built at the
Grant smelter, il Denver, the mel WAC
were finishing it could just SEQ the edge of
the roof of some freight cars under the east
wall Of the building, and in order demon
strate to friends they invited them up, and
all who went and lay down on the platform
on the top, SO they could not move their
bodies, say that one moment they could see
the edge of the car and the next they could
not. There was little or no Wiad at the
time, and yet the stack moved nearly five
incaes. But five inches only makes a brick
