Death of pr. J. A. Williams.

This com nlunity was shocked Sun day morning on receipt of the news of the untimely death of Dr. J. A. Will llams, of Haynes, The circumstances attending his death are as follows, as given Us by Dr. Will Scott:
 Dr. Williams had been great Suf- ferer from neuralgia headache, and it
 was only by inhalation of chlorOform that he received any relief. On Satur- day about 3 o'clock he complained of
 an attack, and went into the drugstore,
 saturated a handkerchief with the drug, and passed into his office. but re- turned again shortly afterward and again saturated his handkerchief with chlOroform, and then passed into a small room in the rear, which had been used as an operating room by pr. Jones but now contained clothing from a late hre. Nothing more was thought
 of it until about 6 o'clock, when Mir.
 J. l.. Hughes, requested Dr. Scott to go and aw aken the doctor. Dr. Scott was
 horror stricken when he opened the door
 to find Dr. Williams lying upon some
 clothing, cold in death, with his face
 buried in the handkerchief.
 An investigation proved almost con
 clusively that the doctor first entered his office and took seat upon an old l operating chair, which broke with hls weight. He then returned to the drug
 store for more drugs, and passed into
 this small room, locked the door so as not to be disturbed, and laid down up on the clothes, and soon became over. powered by the drug, unconsciously l turned his face into the handkerchief, and the room being very close and
 warm, it was but shot time ere his | spirit returned to it's maker.
 The corpse was brought to Forrest City Monday, awaiting the arrival oi his father from Texas, but telegram | announced his failure to get here, and
 after reading passage of scripture
 and fervent prayer by Rev. Paslay, | the mason's escorted 1t to the cemetery
 where it was inferred with appropriate
 ceremonies to await the awakening day.
 The large cortege which followed his
 remains from Haynes and this city tO
 the cemetery, evidenced his standing l in the community, He leaves widow
 and five children who needs sympathy | in their great loss. The doctor WAS Mason of good standing. and member of the K. of H. and Legion of Honor. He was g years of age, and was
 born in St. Clair county, Alabama. and
 moved to Mississippi at 10 years of age and to this state in 1870. hauing prat' ticed in this county for a number oi
 years before finally locating at Haynes.

4 Faithful Servant.

ROstOpchlD was the governor OF
Moscow who probably planned the
burning Of that city, and so put a
serious check to NapoleOn's career.
One day the Emperor Paul returned
from parade greatly irritated be-
cause he considered the cloth fur
nished for the soldiers uniforms to
be Of very bad quality. He ordered
ROstopchin to write at once, and de.
sire that the cloth should every year
be procured from England. The
count replied that to do so would end
the Russian cloth manufacture and
ruin all the Russian merchants. As
the emperor insisted, he wrote the
letter and gave it to him to sign.
After the signature he added, in his
own hand: do nothing of the kind,
he is crazy" Paul evidently OBJ
served that he was writing some
thing, and Rostopchin quietly
handed him the letter. Paul was
walking up and down the room. He
turned pale, still strobe violently
back and forth, and then suddenly
threw the letter into the fire. You
are right, he said, embracing Ros-
tOpchin; would to heaven that all
my servants were like yOum-Argo-
naut.

RAISING A BRIDGE.
Lifted Five Feet without Interruptiny
Railroad Traffic.

hdilIodu tTdmc.
The raising Of a bridge in Switzer-
land upon the line of the Interna-
tional railway. from Pari. to Vienna.
has attracted considerable attention
from the methods pursued. The o..
casion for the change, says Locomo-
tive Engineering, was that the river
orossed-the otkL;ne had lost in the
sectional area Of the passage between
the piers, about twenty-five per cent
IN thirteen years, owing to the de.
position Of gravel and sediment,
while the high water level had risen
TO such an extent as to pile floating
debris six feet deep on the bridge
floor in times of food. The altera.
tions included some reinforcements,
besides the raising Of the whole
structure about FIVE feet The
bridge was continuous over center
pier, and had two main vertical
posts there and four vertical end
posts. To each Of these posts an
inclined strut was attached in a
transverse vertical plane, present.
ing surface for the TOD of
a hydraulic Jack to act upon. Eight
special l00-ton jacks were used, with
an eight.inch stroke and a working
pressure Of 400 atmospheres, the
piston being nearly OF in diameter
The fluid used was a mixture OF
water, alcohol and glycerine. Six
teen men operated the Jacks,
their movements being synchronized
by code of signals designed to
secure uniformity of action. The
bridge was raised foot or two By
short lifts, followed by thoroughly
blocking, and then building under
one course of cut stone masonry.
The total load was j46 tons, and the
maximum load on a single jack was
eighty-seven tons. The bridge was
raised in four stages during inter-
walls between trains. The longest
interval between trains was about
two hours. The weight Of trains
was rigidly restricted during the
time the bridge was undergoing re.
pairs, and their speed was limited to
three miles an hour in crossing the
bridge. In addition, a special block
system was organized upon that Sec
ton of the line upon which the
bridge is located, so that operations
could be suspended and the track re-
stored five minutes before the ar
rival Of a train at the site.
