Historic River Thames-other Bridges
of Note to Be Found in England and
America.
1t has bean tritely said that while the
art of bridge building is ancient and the
science of bridge building is modern,
the skill OF the present engineer has be-
come the special flower and glory of our
age Of steel.
The earliest timber bridge on record
is that which was thrown over the
Rhine by Julius Caesar; but long ages
before the Chinese built stone bridges
of great magnitude and first introduced
i'll their construction the principle of
the arch. One Of these is four miles
long, seventy feet high and has 800
arches. The Romans followed, and
nothing in the way of modern bridges
up to fifty years ago equaled the one
built by the Emperor Trajan, A. D. 104,
over the Danube. During the last two
centuries some very beautiful bridges
have been erected in France, and in
Venice there are no fewer than $50.
In Great Britain the art kept pace
with its progress on the Continent, the
most ancient bridge being that at Croy-
land, Lincolnshire, said to have been built
in $50. The bridge over the Trent at Bur-
ton, in StafTordshire, was built in the
Twelfth century. It was 1,545 feet long.
Old London bridge was begun in the
reign Of Henry II in 1176, and its erec-

Fred Primer Gives Himself Up at Alder
man Kings Office.
One of the Pinkerton detectives, accom-
panied by E. Y. Breck, Esq, came into
Alderman Festis NJ. Kings Office of the
Southside yesterday and surrendered him.
self He was Fred Primer, who is charged,
in the information made recently by Hugh
Ross, with murder.
the Squire and said: esquire, here is
Mr. Primer, who wishes to give himself up,
and we want a hearing fixed for as early a
date as possible"
While the Squire was making out the
necessary papers Constable Wall ap-
preached Primer with paper In his hand,
saying, "Here is warrant for you, and I
want to read it to you." Primer replied:
81 don't wish to read it I'm here now.
l waited as long as could for you fellows,
but you never came, SO I've given myself
up"
The hearing was fixed for Saturday morn
ing between 9 and 10 o'clock. A commit
ment was made out and Primer, in charge of
Constable Wall, was started for Jail, where
he arrived short time after.
In conversation with a DISPATCH re-
porter Primer said: 81 am an old member
of the coal and iron police, and was
employed by the Carnegies some, time
ago at Bessemer, where I worked
for nearly four years Before that
1 was a special officer at Atlantic City. AZ
ter serving at Bessemer 1 went East and
engaged myself to the Pinkertons, when 1
came out here. L have been in this business
all my life. All of the detectives will show
up when wanted" Bail will most likely be
furnished for Primer this morning.

BURKE LOCKED UP.
Arrested in Judge Gripp's Office on Charge
of Aggravated Riot.

Arrested in Judge Gripp's Office on Charge
of Aggravated Riot.
Constable Webber arrested Ed Burke yes-
terday on charge of aggravated riot He
had been looking for him for some time.
and heard that his man was in Judge Gripp's
Office on charge of unlawful assembly. He
had been brought from Duquesne by one of
the deputies The big officer went to
the Office, and touching him on the
shoulder, he asked if his name was
Burke. He denied it, and Weber
took back seat for few minutes Burke
was inclined to be contrary, and when
Judge Gripp asked him to sign the docket
fixing the bail at S, 900, he fatty refused.
Tie Judge smiled sweetly. and turning to
his clerk, said: "This man is too smart.
Write out commitment for him. His
friends interceded, and the Magistrate
finally decided to accept bail.
At this point Burke turned to Webber
and admitted his name. The constable
pulled out the warrant tor him issued by
Alderman McMasters, and took him to iail.
Attorney Bremen appeared on the scene,
and advised Webber to go slow. He
claimed Burke was not the man wanted.
Alderman McMasters was out of the city,
and Webber replied that Burke answered
the description, and he would take him to
Jail pending hearing. Burke made no re-
sistance, but he put Webber in a very bad
humor. When the key was turned in the
cell, the Homestead man remarked that
this was the first time he had been locked

AN AUTHORITY SPEAKS,
The Organ Of the Iron Trade Says the Back
bone of the Strike Is Broken,

The Organ Of the Iron Trade Says the Back
bone of the Strike Is Broken.
'The impression is general in the iron
trade that the backbone of the Homestead
strike is broken" the Iron Age, of New
York, will say to-day. SIT will not be long
before the different Carnegie mills will be
running full as non-union works" One
leading Pittsburg mill is spoken of as likely
to follow in the footsteps of the Carnegies
by refusing to recognize the Amalgamated
Association. If the proposal to arbitrate
under the Wallace act is accepted by the
men, the Western mills will generally start
up pending settlement, and the present
scarcity of certain lines of finished iron and
steel will give way to abundance. As it is,
the number of mills working is steadily in
creasing East and West.
A compromise has been reached in the
Western wire drawing scale. and the wire
mills are about to start UP. Opinions differ
concerning the effect of q general resump-
tion OF operations Some hold that the ad-
vances secured during the past month will
not be altogether lost. Others argue that
decline below the old figures is probable.
They point to the accumulation of raw
material. The statements emanating from
Cleveland that the bulk of the ore there is
sold are received with doubts Bargains
are cropping up frequently.
Bessemer and forge pig has accumulated
heavily during July in the West, so that
the low prices now prevailing are likely to
continue and must affect steel billets and
the whole line of soft steel products. Pig
iron is dull in nearly all the markets.
Steel rails are wretchedly dull in all mar
kets.
In manufactured iron and steel the de-
mand for quick delivery is active, and the
mills which are running are getting the ad-
vance established lately. There are lndica-
tions, however. that some sellers are less
independent than they have been.
