THE ESEFEL DONKEY.
.,n 49, nnienlific American

From the Gcientific American,
1t seems taat Mr.. Shepherd has
a very rich mine in an eiaost IN
accessible part Of the Mexican
mountain ranges, long way re-
moved from any railroad, which he
has been equipplng at great cost
with frst-class mechanical appli'
ances. Some time ago Mr.. Shep-
herd concluded that his equipment
required 5000 or 6,000 feet of wire
rope for carrier purposes, bat how
to get it up into his mountain fast
ness in a single piece, as required,
was a question. BY no possibility
could it be moved from the rallroad
to destination on wheels, and be
didn't see how it could be carried
by burros. But a Mexican did.
He explained his plan, got the con
tract for carrying the II inch cable,
and successfully executed it. Here
is the way he did it. He coiled the
rope up at fixed distances all along
the entire length, each coil being OF
approximately the same size and
designed to weigh 300 pounds, and
loaded on a string of burros with
proper fasjeuinse. 70 take up the
slack between each two burlos, two
Mexicans with padded shoulders
were inserted and faithfully kept
up their end or rather portion OF
the line. The procession was a
curious one, to be sure, but it got
there just the game.

derived from manufacturing
The companies, he said, had
spent millions defending the
patents and he had used up
600, 900 Of his own money in
the same way. "What |

''has been because | have

,ence building came to a sudden end.

fence building came to a sudden end.
The fence now in course of construction
will be of the picket variety and on the
side of the track towards the sea. People
familiar with Old Orchard will recall the
line of booths and stores passed on the
left of the track, or the sideward side,
just before the trains reach the station
running out from Portland. Between
each of these buildings and the tracks is
a porch, and over this porch has passed
most of the trade of the establishment.
But these platforms are private property
and not a part of the station. Conse-
quently the road will not sell frontage
rights here, and proposes to fence in its
location. This location, it now appears,
and so, as generally understood here, the
fence will cut off about half of each
veranda. Naturally the property holders
do not like to see their 'front.' doors closed
by fence which deprives them of half
their piazza, but they do not seem dis
posed to do anything about, probably
because they do not see anything that
they can do. One of them said today that
next year he would turn his building
around and just behind the railroad fence
erect fence so high that no snow could
be shoveled over it. He says that as the
railroad has found his porch convenient
dumping ground for snow, he can by
building his private fence, cause them
some trouble and thereby amuse! himself.
For the coming summer, however, & the
stores in front of which the fence is to be
erected will have to besvisited by the
back doors. They are small shops devoted
to the sale of cigars, soda, etc. There is
not likely to be any performances with
axes such as made things interesting

Boston Man Attempts to Evade Paying
Telephone Tolls and then Complains of
the Officer that Made Him Settle.

New York, June 11.-Acting Chief
Conlin made report today to the police
board on the complaint of ex-Mayor
Nathan Matthews of Boston, who sent
communication to the commissioners
several days ago, accusing a policeman of
attempting extortion. The officer COM
planned of was Frank Penny of the

Inns report said: "Lewis B. Marks,

m, May 20, gentleman entered the store

told it would be S. He went to the tele
phone booth and remained about five
minutes and stated he was unable to
connect. Marks called up Is Courtland
street and asked about it. The operator
at that station informed Marks he had
connected with Boston as he heard the
conversation. In the meantime the gen
tlehan had left Marks subsequently
found him in dining room of the Grand
Union hotel and informed him the con-
nectlon had been made. He stated he
would call, and upon doing so was in
formed by Marks that another connection
would be So additional He refused to
use the telephone again or pay for the
connection already alleged to have been
had. Marks demanding 50 followed him
across the street, to where Officer Frank
Penny was on duty, who was informed
by Marks of the gentleman's refusal to
pay for the use of the telephone. Officer
Penny asked him why he did not pay,
and was informed by the gentleman he
was unable to connect. The stranger
demanded to know what the officer had
to do about it, stating he was acquainted
with the president OF the company. He
asked the clerk S name and received it,
He asked the officers number and stated
that after paying the 50 he would make a
complaint against them and left Marks
and the officer both positively deny that
there was any intimidation or threat of
arrest made by the officer.

Littleton, n. H, June 12-The ami
versary celebration of the completion of
important public improvements in Little
ton, which occurs Friday, bids fair to be
one of the most important events in the
history of the town. 1t was 1875 years
ago last january that Gov Wentworth
gave a.charter, to this territory under the
name of Apthrop, in John or of George
Apthrop, London merchant, who was
one of the guarantees. The April follow
ing, Nathan Caswell, with his wife and
four young children, settled here. He
spent the first night in rude building
erected by some traveller. In the morn
ing another soul was added to their num-
ber, the first boy born in the territory.
He was christened Apthrop. In 1887 the
territory of Apthrop was divided and
one part named Dalton, after one of the
garantees, and the other Littleton. after
Capt. Moses Little of fNewburyport, Mass ),
another grantee Since that time the
town of Littleton has steadily increased
in wealth and population 1t is popu-
lar resort for summer tourists and board
erS.
Last year a system of public improve
ments, which had been agitated for some
time, was inaugurated, and is now prac-
tically completed, and is to be appropri-
ately celebrated Friday The exercises
are to be. held in the beautiful new town
hall.
