NEW DREDGETO BETRIED.
Biggest of the Kind on the River Belief
That 1t Will be q Failure


That 1t Will be q Failure
A Chicago man, according to the
Times-Herald, is now building for
the government a dredge to be used
on the Mississippi river, which.
when completed, will be seven times
larger than any dredge now in use in
the world. It will, in fact. be little
less than a marvel. and will combine
in its intricate and powerful machin-
cry many new and original ideas.
In the estimation of those most COM
petent to give an opinion this
tredge is destined to solve the vexed
problem of navigation on the Missis.
sippi, which has thus far proved a
stumbling block to the most brilliant
engineering minds of the day.
The hull was built at Pittsburg
and subsequently fioated down to
Cairo, when the work of putting in
the machinery, which was made in
Baltimore, was begun. 1t is now
rapidly approaching completion, and
it is thought the end of Novemb Der
will see it ready for work. 1t has a
length of 172 feet and a beam of 40
feet, but these dimensions scarcely
give an adequate idea of its power
and capacity. There are some pow
erful dredges in the vicinity of Chi
cago. but it is claimed that this new
creation of Mr.. Bates can accomplish
as much in an hour as any of these
can possibly accomplish in "a. It's
cost will probably approximate $500
900. That it is destined if it meets
expectations to prove of incalcula.
BILE value to the navigation of the
Mississippi. there can scarcely be a
doubt.
Dubuque Mau Think, 1t Failure.
A Dubuque riverman went to Cairo
to see the monster. He gave it a
thorough inspection and on his re-
turn home ventured the prediction
that it would prove failure. 1t
was thought by some that the dredge
was constructed on the plan of Gen.
Booths sand pump. but the Dubuque
gentleman says that it is not so con-
structed; that it is no infringement,
on his patent. The material which
the dredge will remove from the
river bottom must come in contac,
with the machinery of the pumps,
while only clear water passes through
the generals sand pump. the mater.
ial being sucked up in such a way as
not to interfere with or come in con.
tact with the neutrality-suspicious. avoid.
ing all danger of clogging up. The
generals pump is built on a princi.
pal different from that of any other
dredge pump in the world, and it has
proven a grand success.
1t is claimed for the new dredpe
that it will 60 through a sand bar a,
the rate of 10 feet per minute and Gu,
a channel six feet deep and from 4t
to 65 feet wide; that it can cut q
feet deep and % feet wide; can re.
move 5000 cubic yards of sand pei
hour and deposit it on scows zoo

pump 6,000.OoO gallons of water per
hour, 100000 gallons per day Of

quantity of water consumed per day
in Chicago. 1t could cover 10 acre:

Fifteen sets of plans of the dredgt

ment commission, and the inventor
is to get a bonus not to exceed so pei

CAUGHT IN THE CRIME.
Would be Train Wrecker Appreciated In
the Act 1t Davenport.

Would be Train Wrecker Apprehended In
the Act 1t Davenport.
W. H. Piper, janitor in the Y. NJ. c.
A. building at Davenport, is under
arrest there charged with attempted
train wrecking. For some days
trains on the Rock Island road COM
ing into Davenport have encountered
obstacles on the track that gave rise
to the suspicious that distractions
had willfully been placed on the track
by individuals of evil design. About
week ago. the Democrat says, the
officers of an incoming train reported
running over some obstruction at the
B., c. K & N. crossing that gave the
train a jolting suggestive of an at
tempt to wreck it. Detective Falk-
ner went to the spot and found a
coupling pin that showed the marks
OF the wheels of the train. Other
trains have since reported similar
humping experiences. aud one other
coupling pin has been found that had
been used in the attempt to turn a
train off the track. A couple of the
attempts we're made at the switch
near Ripley street. Robert j. Camp
sic, special agent of the Rock Island
road, arrived in Davenport Saturday
to investigate the matter, and with
Night Captain Martens took up a po-
sition Saturday evening where this
particular switch could be watched.
About 1880 o'clock, a few minutes
before No. 16, from the southwest,
was due to pass the switch, they saw
man coming toward them.
Caught in the Act.
He stopped at the switch and
stopped down, and before be could get
away the two officers had bounced
upon him. An investigation of the
switch showed that they had the
right man. Into the frog there had
been wedged big brake shoe or
clamp. weighing several pounds
a piece of iron that could hardly have
failed to have derailed the approach
ing train, had it been left where it
was placed. After being taken to the
station, the man stated that his name
was W. H. Piper. He declared that
he had been working for the Young
Mems Christian association. He is
apparently between 80 and So years
OF age, has light mustache, and one
of his hands is minus a couple of fin
gers. He has receipts in his pockets
that show him to have formerly been
4 member of a railroad brotherhood.
The probability seems to be that he
is discharged employe or ex-strik-
er, who. by brooding over his trou-
bles, has become partially demented.
If of malicious intent he has a grave
charge to answer to.

CONTEST FOR 1850, 900.
Mixed-Up Case That May he Thrown
Out of Court.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 29.-The con-
test of the heirs over the division OF the
81, 10000 estate lett by A. L. Mason is set
for a hearing Monday before Judge Slo-
yer. o. H. Dean and his wife, who is the
daughter of A. L. Mason. are the plaintiffs
in the suit and the other three heirs are
the defendants. One of the defendants is
Mrs. Maud Nickells. She was the divorced
wife of w. p. Graham. and she married
Clinton Nickells, who was divorced in
North Dakota from his wife. The Supreme
Court of North Dakota this week set aside
the decree Of divorce obtained by Nickells
and this leaves his former wife with no
claim TO the name OF Nickells. The at
torneys for Mrs. Anna NJ. Mason, ii is
said will suggest to Judge Slower Monday
that Mrs. Maud Graham is not mentioned
brought by Dean. and this will doubtless
throw the suit out of court.

EPWORTH DAUGHTERS
FAIR METHODISTs FROM BRAZIL,
IND, DRILL At CHATTANOOGA.
Toronto Chosen as Next Meet
ing Place of the Conference.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 29-The
third day of the great international Ep-
worth League conference was opened with
a sunrise prayer meeting on the brow OF
Lookout mountain. This second prayer
meeting was even more of a success than
the one yesterday morning. The attend
ance was largely in excess and the Meth
odist fervor was at the highest pitch. Moth
ing like these meetings has ever been seen
in this section of the country.
The day was largely spent in hearing
papers and addresses on matters of inter-
est to working leaguers. The morning was
given to consideration of Methodist
hymnology and the best religious training
for the youth of the church. The after
noon was given to the discussion of the
spiritual side of church work. 1t was
handled in a most acceptable manner by
such men as Rev. Cornish, Of New York;
DR.. Burns. of Toronto; DR.. Coultas, OF In
dianapolis; DR.. w. b. Palmore. OF st.
Louis, and DR.. Payne, of New York.

of the next meeting evoked wild applause,
but that sank into insignificance to the ap-
plause that rang out as the secretary had
concluded the reading of that section
which committed the young people of the
league to an unending war on the liquor
traffic. Following are the most important
sections of the report: I'VE recommend
that the next session of the Epworth
League conference be held in the city OF
Toronto.
1--WE are unalterably committed 20 the
prohibition of the liquor traffic, and we
are determined TO fight the saloon until
this deadly foe is destroyed in all our
land.
I'VE urge upon our Epworth Leaguers
everywhere to do all In their power to
maintain the sanctity OF the Lords day.
Especially would we express the hope that
no Epworth Lacquer will make the COM
ing Sabbath the occasion of excursions
and pleasure seeking.
I'VE exhort our young people to study.
keep track of and expedite by all the
lawful means in their reach the cause OF
good citizenship. The new generation now
nifty in connection with this movement.
The publication OF our municipal govern
ments is vitally associated with the work
of city evangelization. While our Epworth
Leaguers emulate and initiate the noble
example of those who hear and heed the
bitter cry of the outcasts in our cities,
large and small, they ought also TO aid,
