4 wonderful Railroad Bridge.

The first train across the great bridge on
the Southern Pacific railway line over Pc
cos Canon in western Texas, passed in
safety Friday. The completion of this
structure is an event in which the whole
engineering world will take an interest, be-
cause of its altitude and magnitude. 1t is
the highest bridge in the United States,
32S feet above the bottom of the canon,
while its length of 21SO feet embraces no
less than Is spans. Aside from its mate
rial proportions, the Pecos bridget is notable
for the rapidity with which it has been
constructed. Less than six months have
been spent in its erection-a fact which de
notes the fine system to which the bridge
builders art has been brought in this
country.

of Crowd at Meredith, N. II.
Another of the revolving murders for
which the state Cf New Hampshire has
gained a reputation, took place at the rail
road station at Meredith, n. H., Monday
morning. Mrs. Drusilla Wiggin had come
to that place from Lakeport, accompanied
by her 10-year-old daughter, with the in
tention of meeting her lawyer, with whom
she was to consult regarding her divorce
case, which was to come before the court
at Laconia. Her husband, George Wiggin,
came to Meredith on the same train. The
husband and wife met on the platform and
she refused to talk with him. He attempt
ed to draw her aside from the crowd, when
she screamed for help, but Wiggin quickly
drew dagger and before anybody could
reach him stabbed her three times in the
back and neck, then threw her to the
ground and nearly severed the head from
the body. He made no talk and his wife
cried out only when first stabbed. Wiggin
knelt beside the body, where he remained
until arrested. Since then he has not said
a word, refusing to talk at the hearing.
He is about ~ years old and his wife was
several years younger. He is not hard
drinking man and was not intoxicated.
Mrs. Wiggin has been woman of doubtful
reputation, and is said to have broken up
their home. They had five children. The
murder was probably premeditated, as
Wiggin had told his lawyer that the di-
vorce case would never come up for hear
ing.
