A Great Steel Bridge.

NIAGARA FALLS On. ", Sept. 10.
The first step in the construction of
the largest steel bridge in the world of
8 single arch plan was taken today,
when the contract was let for the
building of the foundation for the
mammoth arch, which will be over
$50 feet across, besides the shore-line
parts. The bridge is to be constructed
from the plans Of Engineer G. G. Buck,
who il the engineer Of the new East
River bridge, New York. The con-
tract for the foundations was awarded
to B. P. Smith, Of Rochester. Work
Is to commence Immediately, and the
stone structure work will be completed
by winter. This will be left standing
to see what effect the rise and fall Of
the river and the ice jams will have
upon it. The contracts for the iron
and steel work will be let this winter,
and the supentructure completed
ready to put up early in the spring.

The Bo'sun Explains.

A little time ago on one of the
Cunard boats one of the crew
(while the passengers were at din
ner) picked up a menu and, seeing
on the top, liable d'hote," in
quired of one of his mates the
meaning of it.
"Whst does this ere mean,
Joe ?"
Joe, taking the menu, gazed on
it with q puzzled air, scratched his
head, and said:
II can't make nothing of it.
Let's 90 to old Csffin; he's a schol-
ard, and sure to know.
On giving the menu to the boat
swain, he thoughtfully stroked his
chin and said:
SWELL, look ere, mates it's like
this ere: Them swells down in
the saloon have's some soup, a bit
of fish, bit of this, bit of that,
and bit of summat else, and calls

MAKING BICYCLES.
Output This Year Estimated at
Nearly Half Million.

While it is almost an impossi-
bility to give anything like cor
rect statement of what the output
Of bicycles will be this year, it is
by common consent spoken of as
between 400, 900 and 500. 600 wheels.
4 majority of close observers in the
trade would doubtless fix the fig
ures at $4,000. Such q large
number of wheels represents an
enormous outlay, particularly when
it is calculated that each wheel
sells for an average price of not less
than s65. At this rate the sum
produced is s29, 10000.
This has been the most phenom-
email season the bicycle trade has
ever known. In many cases the
manufacturers have been unable,
even though running their facto-
ries night and day, to keep abreast
with the demand. There are about
$50 large and small concerns in
this country engaged in turning
out cycles or parts of this interest
ing vehicle, but next year this
number should be slightly in
creased, judging from the talk one
hears among the trade.-New York

A GRUES0ME FIND.
A Chinsmsn's Hand in q Can-The
Murder Theory Dispslled.

The Chinese have y very revolt
ing custom of saving, for future
reference, all parts Of their bodies
which have become detached in
sny manner. About year and =
half ago Chinsmsn at Eva PLAN
tation had his left hand so badly
injured in an accident that ii be-
came necessary TO have the men,
Der smputated, He came to Homo
lulu and had the operation per-
formed.
Upon returning to Eva he took
his smputsted hand to $ cousin
who then kept q poi shop in one Of
John Colburn's houses on Msuna-
kes street 1t had been placed in
new tin pail and Theoretically
sealed to keep out the germs Of de-
composition. All Wa, the faithful
cousin, took his relations hand,
shook it snd put it away in 4 safe
corner, there to remain until called
for. Then the one-handed China
man went back TO Eva feeling GER
tain that he had succeeded in find
ing s safe resting-plsce for his
hand until such time as he
should see d. 10 accompany it back
70 the land of his birth.
A short time ago An VS. moved
his place Of tsro pounding and for
got to take with him the hand OF
his relation. He had put the tin
pSil containing it into an iron pot
used for cooking and had left this
in dark corner, evidently expect
ing to csrry it away.
Yesterday morning sn old nstive,
employed by John Colburn, was
set to work cleaning the recent poi
shop in preparation for the arrival
Of 3 new tenant. He came upon
the psil, and thinking it might
contain something Of value, pulled
off the top. What he found was s
Shrivelled hand, from which emsn-
sted s very sickening odor. 1t had
been cut off two or three inches
shove the wrist, and was bent
around to 1T the pail.
This wss more than the native
could stand, and, in 8 very excited
state, he ran to the police ststion,
where he told his story.
Captain Scott was dispatched to
the scene to investigate the matter.
An VS., the last occupant of the
building, was arrested and held for
investigation. His cousin will be
up from EVA today to identify pro-
perty, st which time All Wa will,
probably, have sll suspicion re-
moved from him and walk about

In the Italian quarter found myself

A little Italian boy had fallen from

stantly killed. His widowed mother,
when she came upon the body of her
son. went mad with grief and at
tempted 20 take her own life She was
taken to the hospital.
The boys body lay upon liable and
blazing candelabrum stood at its
head. At the side the boys foster
father and his wife knelt in prayer.
Seated about the room was a group of
women chanting an Italian death
wall One of the women raised her
face and her qua1ering voice filed the
room:

And the Others droned the refrain:

thoughts
And so on. strophe and antistrophe,
The chief waller leading and the chorus
echoing the dismal refrain. II was a
sight and a sound to move even the

Italian quarter. though they seldom

are most common and their Office is
most clearly defined in the provinces

There they are regularly retained and
rewarded with a fee. In other pro-
