AN INGENIOUS SwINDLE.
By Which New Haven Parties Have
F1eeced Unsuspecting Westerners

V"sPVVtfHB VetteTHffs.
NEW HAVEN, June 23-A year or more
ago the facts of an extensive land swindle
came to light, by which western people
had been victimized through purchasing
bogus deeds of land supposed to be located
In New Haven. Two more such cases are
now announced. The victims this time
are A. W. Street g. Co. of Chicago and
j. y. Ross Of Peoria, Ills. These people
had purchased deeds to property. the loca-
tion of which was minutely described in
the Instruments IS q matter Of fact,
however. the property does not exist, and
the parties In question are out several
thousand dollars. An Investigation made
year ago showed that the parties doing
this work were quite familiar with the
city, and the new disclosures show that
they are still in the field

STOP-ovER TICKETS.



ST.. Louis June 5.-Arrangemcnts
have been completed by the railroad
companies whereby visitors to the
Worlds Fair from nearly all parts can
spend few days Mt st. Louis without
material addition TO expense, In some
instances stop-uvcr tickets are OBJ
tanned without difficulty, while in
others the rates are so adjusted that
the additional expense incurred in
purchasing tickets to st, Louis and
thence to Chicago is nominal. All the
railroads report traffic very heavy AMI
although there has not vet been the
increase in the sale of tickets between
st. Louis and Chicago which was cN-
pected, the sale of tickets from Chi
cago to st. Louis has Decn very large,
as evidenced by the crowds which
come in on the various routes fromthe
Worlds Fair city morning and even
ing.
The practice of taking Sunday af-
ternoon excursions on electric ears
was started here last year and has
been revived with great energy this
spring. The ectric road connecting
the old country town of Elorissant
with st. Louis en- ried $1,000 cNcur
sionists on the county division on sun
day and could have carried 10000
more had it been prepared for such an
enormous crowd. The electric car is
exceedingly popular in the city, and
although the horse car is dying out
more slowly than expected it will be .
thing of the past so far as the business
section is concerned within very few
weeks.
st. Louis is becoming more gcner-
ally known as n racing centre and the
/ mo N n 4, on
whole the most successful one ever
held here The track is mile round and
| the grand stand accommodations are
regarded rs equal to any in the coun-
try. Vigorous competition on the part
of rival tracks is seen this year, and
there has been some unpleasantness
between the racing authorities and the
owners of local pool rooms. But
neither of these is having any effect on
the success of the meeting either in
point of number S in attendance or the
quality of the sport and the future OF
racing here is fully assured.
Plans are in progress involving n
vast amount of expenditure in the way
of improving streets with asphalt,
wood pavement or telford Since the
incorporation of the city improvements
of this kind have been somewhat re-
tnrded by clause in the charter limit
l ing the expenditure to Is per cent OF
| the assessed value of AUDITING property
and the refusal of one or two owners,
especially when property has been
held in trust, has prevented much
work being undertaken which was
otherwise necessary. The change has
come about as result of State leyisla-
ton and there was now practically re
limit to the expense which can be in
Cured when improvements are held to
/ be absolutely nccrs sary.

Secretary Lamont will probably give special
promotion to Il courageous young trooper who
was one of the United States cnvalry escorts
to Princess Eulalic. When the royal lady
WAS about 10 depart from Washington the
cavalrymen came over from Fort Mycr, re.
splendcnt in their dress uniforms, helmets
and tall yellow plumcs. They were in the
ncighborhood Of the princess quarters, when
horse attached 10 a wagon became fright
encd and ran away. A white trooper from
the 1th ut once left the line and putting spurs
10 his horse at once galloped at full speed
after the runaway, Before the latter had had
a chance To get very far The trooper had over
taken him, and riding before him seized the
bride and by def turn threw the horse
back upon the ground. Col Henry at once
rode M to tho troopar ..'',I Svuu'ir.'ht"s AZ,
act ordered him 10 stay with the horse until
the driver claimed H. The whole thing was
so neatly done a. to arouse the enthusiastic
praise of the bystanders who saw it, includ-
ing number of diplomats and several mem
bers OF the princess party.

Some interesting experiments haze been
made at the Washington University, st. Louis,
with a hydraulic testing machine, the largest
in the world, capable OF eNerting the enormous
pressure of 100000 pounds.
Huge timbers, such are used MS pillars In
large commercial buildings, were crushed
not broken-lengthwisc The almost resist
less force of the machine can hardly be APP
preciated. A piece Of timber capable of sus-
tanning 5000 persons was crushed like an egg
shell when placed in machine. The best
brick piers, two foot square, columns of gran
lite a foot square and sandstone three feet
square are ground TO powder with the great

The machine was designed by Professor j.
