JERRY-MADE FORTREssEs.
Many of Them in Russia Which q
Wind Would Blow Down.

MANY OIL lneIH ttubBla HUI q
Wind Would Blow Down.
Some extraordinary revelations have
just been made at st. Petersburg, says
telegram in the Leeds Mercury, as to the.
manner in which certain frontier fortress
es recently constructed, and, as 1t was
supposed, strengthened, have actually
been built 1t appears that even in this
perilous field of enterprise the jerry-build-
er has been reaping rich harvest. At
two separate fortresses his frauds have
been detected. A commission of revision
on inspecting the walls of the celebrated
stronghold Novo Georgievsh, formerly
known as Modlin, and situated between
Warsaw and the German frontier, found
that the newly constructed outer walls
were not more substantial than those of a
piece of theatrical scenery. A thin outer
layer of half bricks concealed hopelessly
rotten fabric, composed of the veriest rub
bish-gravel, brick-dust, sand and chalk
the whole being utterly incapable of with
standing q cannonade by guns of the
smallest caliber. These facts having been
reported to the minister of war, the chief
constructor of the fortress was arrested
ana tr1eQ Dy cOufI-naItlal, DuG ne escaped
with 80 light penalty as dismissal from
the service, it having been proved that he
suffered frsm a painful affection of the
eyes. The chief constructor of the for
tress of Doubno, the other strong hold
concerned, was not so fortunate. The
fortress was inspected by the Grand Duke
| Nicholas shortly before his illness, and he
found the walls built so contrary to the
rules of military engineering that they
| were incapable of affording any real de
Tense against modern engines of war. In
accordance with the report which he made
to the emperor on the subject, an order
was issued that the whole of the walls il
question should be RACED to their fouuda
tons and rebuilt. The chief constructor
solved the problem of mis- own punish
ment by blowing out his brains, and al
his subordinates who were in any deere,
responsible were sent to Siberia. Ever,
endeavor has, of course, been made /.
keep these occurrences from the knovl
edge of the public, but the facts of tn
case have come to hand through a thor
oughly trustworthy channel

tenant Governor.
M1DDLErowN, June 24.-Dr. Joseph w
Alsop, the democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor in the last campaign in
Connecticut, died suddenly at noon to-day

again in 1882. At each session he was
chairman of the committee on agriculture
and served with ability and success. He
was born in New York city in August, 1888,
and was educated at Yale and Columbia
scientific schools. He also pur-
sued a complete course OF
medical study, graduating from
the medical department of the University

boards of the Middletown court of COM
mon council and was a member of the
house from Middletown in 1873, holding

fund committee. He was member of the
board of trustees of the Connecticut Hos
pital for the Insane at Middletown and al
so of the Industrial School for Girls; of
the Russell library of that city, trustee
and treasurer of st. Luke's home, and has
occupied other positions of trust and re-
sponsibility. DR.. Alsop was much inter
ested in agriculture and stock breeding,
his learning was of great value to the
state, while in general his scholarly attain
ments, knowledge of affairs and executive
ability won for him the esteem and conf
dence of his associates. He had long been
troubled with heart disease.
