cAsT-IRoN BRICKS

Walls OF Some German LnqtitutiemE
Constructed OF That Material
''Whi1e 1 was IN Germany last
year" said ". L. Burgess Of New
Haven, Il came across several walls
surrounding some OF the public insti-
tutions that were constructed out of
cast-iron bricks. These bricks eer-
tainly have many advantages over the
old fashioned clay bricks. though
they may not prove to be superior in
all respects In form and size these
bricks resemble our ordinary bricks,
but they are composed Of cast-iron
and hollow. The she'll is so thin that
the brick weighs less than one made
of clay. A wall is built of such MAJ
tar, and no skilled labor ia ra-
quired in laying them. Tho upper
and lower sides of the bricks are pro-
vided with grooves and projecting
ribs, which fit into each other easily
and perfectly, and form a wall Of
great strength. There are also two
large circular openings in the upper
side of each brick, arranged so aa TO
receive projections on the lower side
of the brick that is to be placed above
It. One of the projections is hook
shaped, which secures a solid hold
a wall of these bricks is put together
very quickly. After the wall Is built
it is covered with paint This closes
all the cracks rendering the wall AIR
tight. and prevents ths bricks from
rusting. The bricks are very durable.
and a b-1ilding constructed OF them
would be practically hreproot."

Jared Flagg. Who Has Control of Oser
Eight Hundred Flats In New York
City, Claims the Captain Wanted
Him to Put Up 800 Month.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-At the Eighteenth
Street Methodist church Sunday morn
ing, Rev. DR.. John A. B. Wilson read
sworn paper, from Jared Flagg, an
agent for over 500 fats in the city,
which said in part:
you want to know why our police
officials, especially Capt. Donohue,
claim that have a notorious reputa-
ton. I will tell you. Some months
ago Capt. Donohue ordered me to call
at the station house. The captain
closed all the doors and commenced by
saying, You have been sadly neglected;
your Eighteenth street fat buildings
are full of bad women, and if you want
them to remain you will have to do the
square thing
II told him it was just as much
crime to give bribe as to receive one,
and that did not propose to make my
self amenable to the law. explained to
him that since the Parkhurst raids un-
desirable tenants had resorted to all
manner of subterfuges in order to de-
ceive me, and at times had succeeded.
However, as soon as discovered that I
made an error, lost no time in getting
served thirteen disposesses notices, and
handed the captain statement on
which the twenty-seven remaining ten.
ants were marked Respectable OPP
posite the names of the thirteen the
word 'Dispossessed was written.
Twelve of these doubtful tenants were
elected. The thirteenth, girl of 1s,
told me she had run away from her
home, in a small western town, with a
young man, who had deserted her and
left her without dollar. weakened,
and that evening l explained to the
captain about this girl. That very
night she was dragged to jail. Capt.
Donodue then called at my Office and
said: I've got you down in black and
white, and you have got to put up
want 500 per month"; ought to have
more said: i decline to put up one
dollar -
Every we'll, he Said, then take the
consequences A few days later Capt.
Donohue and detective arrested me.
/ was indicted and am now out under
bail. Capt. Donohue is not the only
captain who entertains prejudice
against me; there are others. l con.

and the reason, the only reason, DIR.
Wilson, why the officials you refer to
do not like me is because l have per-
sistently declined to permit the police

Big Blaze Threatening the Penitcntiary
and Aid From st. Paul Requested.
SALTWATER, Mimi, Sept. 29.-The
plant of the Saltwater Manufacturing
Co. was on fire Friday night, and az
midnight the flames were not under
control.
The local department is unable to
cope with the fire and st. Paul has
been asked for aid. The wind is blow
ing hard from the south and the flames
are within few hundred yards of the
state penitentiary buildings, where
over five hundred convicts arc con-
fined.
At lis Saturday morning the fire
was beyond control, and was still
spreading. The st. Paul fire depart
mept, which had started from that
city, had not yet arrived.
