Ouite q Complication.

A rather curious complication has arisen
between the Western passenger association
and the Trans Missouri. The former re-
Gently authorized reduction rate for the
Odd Fellows at St. Louis. Several days
ago an inquiry was fired into Chicago by
Chairman Smith of the Trans Missouri ask
ing whether this reduced rate had been
granted TO the Trans-Missouri association
for basing purposes. The reply was that it
had not been. Mr.. Smith then wired that
the Trans Missouri roads had access to ST.
Louis at the reduced rate via the outside
Frisco and Alton, and that if the Western
passenger association proposed to do any
thing it should take action quickly. A vote
is now being taken on the proposition to al
low the rate for basing purposes.

First Iron Bridge.

At the present day, when we are accus-
toned to look upon iron as the chief con-
Structive material with which engineers
and architects all over the world deal, the
first iron bridge that was ever built is d
curious sight. This bridge, the arches of
which were made of iron, was called Iron
bridge" and it was erected in IT'S. 1t
spans little river in the county of Salop
on the railroad line from Shrewsbury to
Worcester in England. At the present
day the structure is surrounded by tnriy-
ing little village, which took its name from
the bridge. Several iron foundries have
been established in the neighborhood. The
structure was timid attempt at what has
since developed into an extensive industry.
There are three supports; two of them
are very small and cross a narrow country
road. while the third and largest one spans
the bed of the river 1t is about ninety-SiX
feet long and weighs 31S tons. The braces
were cast at CoalbrOokdale every bar being
composed of two SegmentS. Stephenson,
the great civil engineer, wrote as follows
on the construction of this first iron bridge:
when We bear in mind that the manipula-
ton of cast iron was at the time of its cree
ton in its infancy we can not help but feel
convinced that unbushing audacity alone
could conceive of such an enterprise and
the intelligence with which the details
were outlined and executed is equal to
the holiness of the conception" The
bridge is constantly used and is in excellent
condition, a fact which disproveS all the
ominous clamorings of crankS that the per-
niciouS influences of rust will sooner or
later bring danger to the iron bridges of
to-day.

He.Did Thorough Work.

It is related of Sir Henry Tyler, who
made critical examination last week of
the Chicago and Grand Trunk that while his
methods of inspection are certainly admira-
BILE they do not blend readily with the jun
keting tours that are sometimes called in
spection trips in this country. Sir Henry
had with him party of friends and the Off
Gals of the road, and travelled in special.
He is deeply interested in the physical
structure of the road. At oft-recurring in
tervals last week the president would sud
denly jump up and jerk the bell-cord.
When the train had come to a full stop
the president would usher his official
friends to the ground and then direct the
trainmen to go ahead for Il mile or two, as
the inspection party would walk and iu-
spect the tracks. Sir Henry was agility it
self, and vanquished space in true English
fashion, but the American contingent fell
sadly behind, and seemed more than half
disposed to await the next train, even
freight though it should be. Their presi-
dent nimbly walked on the heavy slanting
girders to the top of the iron bridges where
few would dare to climb. His inspection
in word, was clean-cut and thorough, and
when he gets back to England he can per-
haps tell more OF the Grand Trunks physi-
que than half its operative officials.

Complaints Of Fred Douglass.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The latest news
from Hayti has intensified the feeling in
official circles that Minister Fred Douglass
should be transferred to some other sphere
of usefulness. The citizens Of the United
States there have little confidence in him
in trying times, and some of those who
reached New York yesterday have declar-
ed that they would not return 80 long as he
remained minister.
One thing is said to be that Mr.. Doug
lass looks upon instructions from the state
department as merely advisory and not
to be carried out unless they meet his
ideas.

A Positive Hint.

A man can be more politely insulted In
Paris than in any city in the world. A
gentleman who undertook to speak IN
public there expressed himself In such q
low tone of voice that the audience were
unable to hear him. He was lecturine
upon q geographical subject, and copie,
Of a map about three feet square had
been generally distributed.
Presently one of the audience rolled
up his map in the form of very long
attenuated lamplighter, inserted the
small end in his ear and turned tho other
end toward the speaker. It was rather
ludicrous performance, but not a laugh
was heard among the polite assemblage
In two minutes, however. every map IL
the audience was turned into an cal
trumpet, and the speaker saw himself
confronted with sort of mammoth
porcupine, whose nearest quilts almost
touched him. He at once spoke louder

troduced novel advertisement. A
painted theatrical ocean is constructed
on the roof of one house, while the ROOT
of the adjoining building, being little
