to Murder.

Vincent Giglio, the man who shot Isaac

turn was shot by Zemansky, early this
month, was examined in the Police Court
yesterday for assault 10 commit murder.
When asked if ne was ready for ex-
animation, Giglio replied that he had
neither attorney nor witnesses present,
but that he wanted his case to go on, as
he would die if he was kept in the City
Jail any longer.
Zemansky and the Prosecuting Attor-
ney asked continuance OF the case un-
til Monday next, and then until Satur-
day, but Giglio protested against delay.
Il will plead guilty." said he, "to set
tie my case and get out of this Jail, rather
than wait any longer"
Judge Buckley thought there was no
good reason for delay by the prosecu-
ton, and that the defendant was entitled
TO some consideration. He thought if
Glgllo was ready to proceed the prose-
cutlon had witnesses enough.

without saying word, stepped up to

had fired, and Immediately after he re-
turned the shot and fired a number of
times at Giglio as he ran away. He
stated that he had had some trouble about
bargain with the defendant a week or so
before the shooting. The shot, he said,
came near killing him, and several ply
sicians had given him up. The ball
struck him to the right of the center of
his breast, and he still carried the bullet.
Giglio's pistol was submitted for Ze-
mansky's identification, but he could not
identity it, as he had not seen it closely.
Giglio declined to make any statement,
and did not seem TO comprehend how to
proceed in offering defense. He was
held to answer to- the Superior Court,
with bail fixed at $1,000.

BIG LOCOMOTIVE.
The Monster Weighs 13O Tons When
in Working Order.

The Monster Weighs 13O Tons When
in Working Order.
The biggest and most powerful railroad
locomotive in the world, according to
L0cOmOtiCe EngiReeTIRg, will soon be
running on the Mexican Railroad. 1t
was constructed at the Rhode Island Lo-
comotive Works with a couple of like
companions. The monster weighs l3O
tons when in working order and was
built to climb steep grades in the mount
aims Of Mexico and to drag heavy loads
around sharp curves safely.
The engine looks like a couple of loco
motives of the "moguI" pattern backed
up together, with the two cabs Joined. 1t
is an odd form and was constructed
after a design furnished by Su-
perintendent of Machinery +. w.
Johnstone, of the Mexican Central, who
realized that special style was necessary
for the work to be performed on his rail
road. The idea was to secure a motor
with f1exibility sufficient TO go round the
sharp curves with least trictional resist
ance. This fleXibility is gained by secur-
ing the driving-wheels in truck which
is Tree to move i'll line different from
that followed by the main frames.
The cylinder and boiler in the Mexican
Central Goliath are carried OH the main
frames separate from the driving wheel
trucks. AS the cylinders are not in line
with the driving in rounding
curves, 1t is necessary that a special
method of transmitting power from the
cylinders to the crank-pins should be
employed. This is done in a very in
genious way through levers that trans
NIT the power and compensate for the
varying distances between the pistons
and the crank, due to the swiVeling OF
the driving-wheels. But for this com
pensating arrangement it would be neces-
sary to give the engine so much cylinder
appearance that the loss of steam
power-transmitting levers are seen
nected at the top by short link, and the
bottom ends pinned to the front end OF
the main rods. There are two of the lat
ter, one connecting with a crank-pin, the
other with return crank. The piston
transmits motion to the back one of the
two levers, and that gives motion to the
front lever, which is fulcrumed securely
to the frame near its center.
The engines are compound, with annu-
lar cylinders, the high-pressure cylinder
being in the middle and the low-pressure
cylinder outside. The high-pressure CYL
inder is 13 inches diameter and the low
pressure 2S inches. The stroke is "A
inches. 1t is calculated that the cylinder
capacity of each pair of cylinders is equal
to l9X24 simple engine.
The boilers are OF Otis steel, 9-16-inch
in diameter, and carrying $50 pounds of
steam to the square inch. They are 544
inches in diameter, and have 20l two-inch
tubes, 10 feet 81 inches long. The fire
boxes are of the Belpaire type, So inches
long and 56 inches wide.
The arrangement Of working is that
the valve-motion of the two engines is
operated by one screw reverse lever.

sary apparatus for working the double

LIVED ON SAMPLES.
How a Man Managed to Exist During
the Paris Exposition.

He was well bred, and when he COM
menced to chat of sights in foreign lands
one did not feel like doubling his word.
He talked of the execution of pirates in
China, and described the diamond mines
OF Kim berly, and when he dwelt for a
few minutes on the great exposition in
Paris, it was an easy step to Chicago and
the Worlds Fair.
Il WISH" he said, meditatively, ''that
May was a few months nearer than it
really is. Expositions are snap for fel-
lows who are broke and Pm awfully
near it."
''So?" queried an interested listener.
"Yes," he continued. For six months,
when the Partisan show was on, lived
like lord, and it didn't cost me a sou,
either. Had course dinner every day,
too, from soup to cognac and cigarettes.
1 guess that the graft ought to be just as
good in Chicago, and so l yearn for the
opening OF the gates.'
"How did you do it?" eagerly ques-
toned his companions, whose outward
appearance did not betoken unbounded
wealth.
samples, samples" responded the
man of the world. ''You see, the manu-
facturers of all kinds of prepared food
always have samples of their stuff on ex-
hibition. The soup man, the maker OF
beef tea, the preservers OF game, the can
ners of beef and other meats, the people
who put up all kinds of fruit, are each
and every one represented. So are the
men whose brands of coffee are known
all over the world. In Paris they all had
miniature kitchens where they prepared
their goods, and all you had to do was to
walk up to the exhibitors booth, look in

duested to test the goods. OF course it
