engineering work Of no small magnitude.
! 1t was begun on October T. 1890, and ha 5
been pushed night and day ever since
with a working force Of l,3sp men, divided

erected as a support, and all danger from
that source was obviated When the
second bench was removed heavy posts.
y inches square, were put in TO support
the wooden arch, and these rested on
rocky ledge left for the purpose of re-
moving the last bench.
The timbers were placed very close
together and were strong enough TO re-
sist any pressure. But TO guard against
surprises, leaks and other faults, the

inches at the portal or outlet. That's

greatest. One hundred thousand bricks
were laid every day.
Operations were carried on at five or six
points night and day. and it is no wonder
the work has been finished at the time
the projectors said 1t would be.
The tunnel had a wonderful appetite
for bricks, and the engineers told the
World man that 1905 800 were used IN
the two years the tunnel was being built.
Most Of the bricks came from Buffalo.
IL has been calculated that if one ordi
nary bricklayer could lay 1900 bricks a
day. II would take one man twenty-four
years TO accomplish the task OF laying the
bricks in the tunnel.

BATTLE WITH THE RusrLERs.
Eight Cattle Men We're KILLED in Des-
perate Fight.

MISNEAroLIs, April l0.-A special to
The Tribune from Helena. Mont. says:
"A dispatch from Dillon. in the south-
ern part of the state. on the road to
jackson. Wyo., announces that a bat.
tie occurred two days ago between u
band OF thieves and cattlemen on the
Montana side of the Wind River coun-
try. The news was brought in by
ranchman who talked with some of the
participants. Rsnchmen from southern
Montana. northern Wyoming and
nortn Idaho. exasperated by the depre-
dations of an organized band OF thieves
of the Teton section, assembled by
agreement at point somewhere west
of Blackfoot and began the search for
the robbers, and found large body
enirenched in winter quprters. They
attacked them and were repulsed, los
ing eight killed and many wounded.
The robbers also lost heavily. 1t is
known that the ranchmen had been
contemplating this action, and that fact
gave color to the rumor. The place
where the fight is said To have occurred
IS isolated. and news of the fight would
not reach the outside for several days."

the large stocxs OF agricultural prod
uts still on hand from last years crops
amount, for ali practical purposes, 10
the same thing as an assurance Of .

MORE TANGLED DEMOCRACY.
North Cardinals Alliance Threatens TO
Control the Primaries.

RALEIGH. n. c., April l0.-The DEM
ocrst situation in North Carolina is
tangled, and because of this state of
affairs n second meeting of the demo-
crat state committee was held here

The state convention IS to be held on
Nav IS, and the alliance and peoples
party men have announced that they
intend 10 control the primaries and
elect the delegates so as to control tue
state convention. and that they will
adopt the ST. LOUIS platform and elect

structei to attend the Chicago conven-
ton aud present the platform. Ii it IS
not adopted, the delegates are then 20
attend the Omaha convention and take
their seats therein, as sccredi,s d from
the state. In order To prevent this,
Chairman Smith of the state committee
has written letter saying that
those who are IN favor OF this
policy are not demnc crats in good stand
ing and must not be admitted TO the
primaries unless they pledge them
selves IN advance by resolution 10
ABIDE by the election Of the various
conventions. The proposition was
made 90 postpone the domination of

to make the alliance men show their

c.ded not 20 do this and then indorsed
tbe letter Of Chairman Smith and ad-
jourued. II was declared that the more

Maple Sugar Crop a Failure.

MONTPELIER, VT. April 10Th
maple sugar season is apparently prsc-
tically over in Vermont, except In some
hill towns. Unlees there 10 a seiy de-
csded change in the weather, followed
by period of freezing and shawiug
spells, the sugar season of 1892 will
prove failure. Good judges estimate
that but one-quarter OF an average
crop has been produced. IL this esti-
mate is correct 1t means a loss this year
of fully 100000 10 the farmers OF
Vermont.

DEFINING THE MONSTER.
His Trial Promises 10 be the Most Inter-
esting in History.


MELBOURNE, April l0.-It is believed
tnat the trial os Deeming will prove
one Of the most interesting that has
ever taken place anywhere in the
world. As stated IN these dispatches
the defense will he insanity, and many
experts will be called to testify as to
the species of madness with which his
counsel claims that ne is afflicted. No
denial has IA yet been made by the de-
fense that Deeming did commit all the
murders attributed 10 him. In fact his
counsel. by his tacit admissions at the
coroner's inquest. shows that he be-
Leves his client Is at least guilty of the
killing with which he 10 charged. but
claims that owing to c0ngenitai iafiu-
ences be 10 not responsible for his homi-
cldsi mania. OF course there are scof-
fers at this line of defense. They
claim that in all OF the murders
attributed to Deeming, except
perhaps the Wnltechspel siaugh-
ters, there has been altogether
too much method in his madness. 1t
is thought that Deeming's counsel
would be only too glad ~ have HIM
positively identified IS . Whitechapei
monster. 1t would then be much
eaier matter to prove that be was
mentally irresponsible for ell those
murders, committed apparently with
out the slightest reason, and showing
the brutal ferocity of . maniac. No
alienist has vet made . special study Of
his case, but it - thought by many
that when this is done it will be found
that prenatal influences have had
much, If not everything, to do with
the crimes. But of ali tho conjecture
in his case Deeming knows nothing.
He slept well last night, but the intense
nervous and mental strain t. which he
is subjected is telling upon him. He
can At times assume an air OF careless
pcss and jocuiarity, but his face is
losing It's ruddy color, and this morn
ing be was decidedly pale. In fact,
despite his air Of bravado at the In-
quest and afterward the man appeared
TO be breaking down. He frequently
asks for stimulauts. Efforts will be
made TO produce an adjournment of
his trial in order TO enable witnesses to
{, mo from England to testify to the
state of the prisoners mind when he
was boy.
