A Monster wheel.

The new 30-foot fywheel to replace
the one which burst on the Amoskeag
corporation at Manchester, N. H., last
fall, has been completed and put IN
position for use as soon as, the engine
is in readiness Twenty Thousand feet
of brown ash was used in the construc-
ton of the wheel, as well as d8, ,0003s by
31aa-inch screws, lot of iron rods, tons
of iron and quarts of glue. The small
wooden sections are fastened together
by glue and the screws, and to strengthen
the whole there are stout iron rods pass
ing through the sections in addition to
this. The screws are driven by steam
power. To make the whole mass as
compact as possible marrow openings
were left between some of the sections,
and into these were tightly driven well
fitting wedges soaked in boiling hot
glue.
The time of its test is being awaited
with interest by the mill people. 1t has
been necessary to keep Il large gang of
men at work upon the racks in the mill
in order to prevent interference in the

A Bride and a Widow in One Day


Pretty seventeen-year-old Conception
Sylvia, Portuguese maiden of Contra
Costa county, was a bride at o'clock
yesterday afternoon in West Berkeley,
and three hours later she was widow.
She was married to Frank Bispo, II
young Portuguese dairy1nan, and after
the ceremony and reception the wedding
guests repaired to the station, where the
young couple were to take the train foS
San Francisco.
While waiting for the train Bispo took
little nephew in his arms and trotted
up the track, while several others walked
along the railroad. Suddenly the shrek
of the overland fier was heard, and a
moment after it swept around a curve.
1t disappeared in an instant. On one
side Of the track was Bispo, dead. In
his arms lay his little nephew, alive, but
badly wounded. On the other side of
the track lay the body of Mrs. Sylvia.
All three had been struck by the train.

An Epidemic of HiccOughs.

What is called an epidemic of hic-
coughs is reported as prevailing on the
Maryland and Delaware peninsula, and
in some cases it has proved fatal. The
case of Richard Cole, colored, who re-
sided near Middletown, Del, baffled the
physicians, us have others, and he fell a
victim after coughing violently for four
weeks. His death has attracted much
attention from physicians. Edward Par
dee, farmer residing in Jones Neck.
was stricken sixteen weeks ago with the
disease and has hiccoughed necessarily
since. At times his life is despaired Of.
but the attacks become less violent and
he rallies. He is now slowly improving.
Every mail has brought letters to the
family of the sufferer for many weeks,
the writers advising the use of different
remedies, all of which have been tried
to no avail.--Cor. Baltimore Sun.

Springs Below a New York Street.

springs BelOW new IOfk SCreets
For the past three months the road de-
partment of the Manhattan Elevated
railway has been carrying on very
difficult piece of engineering work at
Bowery and Bayard street. At that
point the cable company is building a
plant, and the operation makes it neces-
sary for the elevated company to sink
three pillars forty-five feet below the
street level in order to get below the
cable company's obstruction. These
pillars are built of brick and their foun-
dations are forty feet below grade. They
are 8 feet at the base and ~ feet at the
top.
Many persons are not aware that
sparkling springs Of water flow beneath
the surface of this busy city, but run
ming water was found at depth of
thirty-fve feet where the excavation
was made. There was bubbling spring
where each pillar was built. One Of the
springs spouted 500 gallons a minute,
and itrequired 4-inch centrifugal pump
to keep the hole clear until the mason
work could be finished. Roadmaster
Black has a large bottle filled with the
water, which is as clear as crystal and
of fine quality. The sand about the
spring is as fine and white as beach
sand.-New York Telegram.
