4 Great Engineering Feat in the Far
h
The recent completion of the great
c~antalever bride over the Co1nmh;a
river at Rock Island, Wash, marks the
accomplishment of the greatest feat of
railroad engineering in the west. The
Columbia at Wanatchee, where the
big bridge is being built, is between
300 and 200 yards in width and from
II to 200 feet deep at low water. Its
channel, according to the Seattle Her
aid, is worn deep below the general
surface of the valley, and, though the
annual June rise is 35 to SO feet, it
never overfows. After many SURVEYS
and measurements the company de-
cided to build a bridge high enough
not to interfere with navigation rather
than a drawbridge at a shallower point
and support the same on piers.
At the point selected for crossing, a
basaltic butte rises 500 feet above the
valley. The butte drops down to the
'riverin shelf-like terraces, and on one of
these shelves the western approach of
the bridge rests.
On the opposite bank stands a SINH
lar butte, 200 feet above the water, and
through this butte a roadway has been
cut for the eastern approach. Two
hundred and fifty feet from the east
bank of the river is an island, or rather
a huge rock, on which the only pier in
the river is built. Between the rock
and the west bank flows the main
stream, which is 416 feet wide and 143
feet deep.
The whole bridge is 916L feet long,
not counting the minor approaches,
and is 100 feet above low water mark
and 70 feet above extreme high water.
The first span reaches from the bluff
on the west side, $50 feet, to a shelf
above the water line. The second or
main span reaches 416X feet above the
main channel to the river. 1t weighs
$50 tons and in the center is IS feet
from top to bottom of the structure.
The third span extends from the island
to h east bank. The entire bridge is
built Of steel and wrought iron.

Council Meeting.

Tho regular monthly meeting Of the
town council was held at Thos. II.
Scotts Office ON Monday evening.

case and they reported unfavorably for
opening the street. BY motion Jacob
Sutter and Henry A. Reed are TO grade

Lost, Not Stolen.

Some people are very forgetful and
frequently blame other people for their
own faults. As an evidence OF this, a
farmer living near Panic was extracting
stumps out of piece OF land he owns.
He tied his log chain to the root of a
large stump to haul it Off the land and
unhitched the horses and left the chain
on the stump. In few days he wanted
the chain and could not find it. He
Immediately decided that some person
had stolen the chain and he kept "his
eye peeled" for the thief, but failed to
discover any trace of the chain. Sever
al days ago the farmer was walking
through the clearing with friend and
they found the chain just where the
farmer had left it. We believe that
frequently things have been stolen, as
the person may believe, when in reality
they have only been mislaid. Don't be
too hasty in drawing your conclusions.

Church Dedicated.

The new Presbyterian church at Big
Run was dedicated last Sunday evening.
This church is very neat and pretty
edifice that cost nearly $4,000 when
ready for dedication. Rev. H. r.
johnson, pastor of the Reynoldsville
church, accompanied by Elder j. X.
Johnston, drove to Big Run Sunday
morning to perform the dedicatorial
services. When Rev. johnson arrived
at Big Run he found the pastor looking
very solemn because there was nine
hundred dollars to raise to clear the
church of debt, and every person had
come about to the end of their giving.
Bro. Ryland, who is pastor of the church
and editor of the Echo, said it would
be impossible to raise the money Sum
day, but Rev. johnson was not hope
lessly discouraged, and he succeeded in
raising almost eight hundred dollars.
The church was dedicated Sunday
night. The Big Run church sent
Frank r. Allison, Of the Allegheny
Seminary, to fill Rev. Johnson's pulpit
last Sunday.

Shot in the Leg.

Harry, young son of Isaac Cratzen,
of Hopkins Mill, was accidentally shot
last Thursday, the ball entering his
right leg just above the knee. Harry
and several other boys were playing
together and one of the boys had an old
revolver which, as is usually the case,
went off just when the boys were not
expecting it, Harry was brought to
Reynoldsville, but as the boys mother
was afraid to let the physician admins
ter chloroform to probe for the ball,
the Doctor could not do much with the
case. The boy was taken to Lock
Haven Friday morning, but the Doctors
of that city failed to get the lead out of
the boys leg.

Getting Strict.

Mileage books have been issued by the
A. V. Wy Co. for sometime To individ-
uals, families or firms, at rate Of two
cents per mile, on condition that the
books be used only by the parties for
whom purchased. Little by little the
purchasers have grown careless about
who uses their books until mileage books
are used very extensively to-day, re-
gardlcss of whose name is signed in the
book. The A. V. Iry Co. have decided,
as far as possible, 10 put stop 10 this
practice and have given their conductors
strict orders 10 lit all books presented
by persons whose name is not signed 10

mileage book was bought. We be-
lieve, according 10 conditions, II
the book Is presented by any other
person than the rightful owner, the
company keeps the book even II there
are only few miles used out Of IL.
II this Is strictly enforced, borrowing
mileage books will soon lose It's popu-
larity. Don't sour on the conductor II

pends on obcying orders.

That Proposed Railroad.
[PunxsutawneY News !


A Netcs reporter interviewed an Off
cial of the proposed Philadelphia and
Pittsburg railroad few days ago, who
stated that the project was altogether
likely to be pushed to an early compile
tion, but that work would not be COM
menced before spring. The representa-
tive OF the road also said that the main
line to Kittanning would in all probable
ity be built by way of Richmond, Indiana
county. Our belief in this statement
is strengthened when we learn that
Chief Engineer Farise and Land Agent
AXE, of the above mentioned company,
were in Richmond the first Of the week
for the purpose Of looking over the
route from there towards Kittanning.

The jefferson County School Dircc-

somi-annual meeting in the Court
House at Brookvillc at 1890 A. NJ, on
Thursday, Nov. 10th. The topics for
discussion are: "What care and over
sight should directors exercise for tho
preservation and safe-kceping Of all
school property, such as buildings,
furniture, books and supplies p"
"Should the school term be increased
in view Of the increased State appro-
priation?" "Should we have u compul-
sorry system cducation?" "Do the
schools give sufficient attention TO the
inculcation and use Of good manners,
and Il courteous regard for superors
and for the aged?" These are good
topics to consider, and especially the
last one. We see evidence on our
streets daily that home and school both
have failed TO inculcate the use OF good
manners, etc, in many Of the boys and

Notice is hereby given that taking
effect on and after the 10th inst, the
price Of mining in the company's mines
will bo 40 cts. per net ton for the run OF
mine coal, and the price Of other labor
outside and inside the mines will be in
proportion.
Our chief reasons for the above are
that reductions have been made in min
ing in regions highly competitive with
ours. In the Pittsburgh district the
price Of mining has been generally re-
duced from ten to twenty cents per ton.
This region is now securing large
amount Of our business In Buffalo,
Western New York and Canada. In
Eastern New York and the New En-
gland states other competitive districts
are producing at less cost, making
prices we are unable TO meet, and taxi
ing trade we have supplied for many
years. There are other reasons We
might adduce. Our men very well
know the general stagnation in trade,
and we hope will readily accede to the
situation. GEO. II. LEWIS, Pres.

Eyes of Deep-sea Fish.


The eyes of deep-sea fish are very var
led; some have neither eyes nor sight;
others have greatly enlarged eyeballs, so
as to catch the least glimpse OF light.
Their eyes tend either to disappear or to be
unusually efficient; but since no trace OF
sunlight can penetrate to any great depth.
and it is probably quite dark beyond a
depth Of some 200 fathoms. Of what use
can eyes be?
Fish have been captured at a depth of
not only absolute stiffness. but also total
darkness, except for the fact that some of
these deep-sea creatures are phosphores-
cent, and therefore luminous. This fact
was first ascertained in the Challenger OK
petition. Since then Mr.. Alcock of The In
dian marine survey has found shat come
deep-sea crustaceans have a similar power
one large prawn quite lighting up buck ct
full o. water in which ii was paced. Fish
with large eyes have therefore letter
chance of finding food tani matesD, hut
they cannot wholly depend upoa sight.
since some have quite abandoned all at
tempts to see.
Some, again. have luminous organs on
their head or body or tail. which are Under
their control, that they can actually
throw light at pleasure on their prey or
extinguish IL in times Of danger. Thus the
angler among Others attracts Its Frey by
means Of these colored lures or phosphores-
cent lights. 1t has been well said that
these vast profounds Of the deep have be-
come a sort Of almshouse or ASYLUM, where
unto antiQuated forms have retired, and
amid the changeless environment have
dwelt for ages unzltered."

BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.


killing Dogs at kensington.
For couple of months past there have
been an unusual number Of cases Of rabies
among the dogs throughout Montgomery
county. and IT has been necessary to kill
several Of these CANNES who were suspect
ed of being mad. Until yesterday, however,
there were no serious results reported from
these cases Yesterday there was a serious
mishap Of this sort, the young son Of a
weii-known newspaper man of this city be-
ing badly bitten by dog who was thought
to be suffering from rabies.
The boy, who is about eleven years of
age. was at kensington Md, spending the
day with his mother at a summer place there
when he was attacked by q stray dog that
was running through the place. He was
badly bitten and the services OF q neigh
boring physician were at once called In
The wound was carefully dressed, but the
doctor expressed the opinion that the dog
was surely mad.
The boys parents were naturally much
alarmed about the accident and its possible
results. and they left with him this morning
for New York. where he will be placed in
the Pasteur institute for a thorough course
Of treatment. This same small bow was
badly bitten In the face last year by a large
dog in this city, but, fortunately, there were
no serious results from that experience.
The dog which did the damage yesterday
was killed shortly afterward, but there was
to have bitten upward Of a dozen other
dogs before he was put 10 death. All the
dogs that were known to have been bitten
were killed this morning, and active mea g.
ures are being taken to stamp out the trou.
Bile wherever it exists.
