The Match between Robert u. and IFrIt1
Is Probably OF.

A cablegram from Australia to the Horsemnn
brings the news that the owners of the trotting
gelding Fritz will not accept the terms proposed
by Lewis &. Tewksbury for n race between the
crack harness horse OF the Antipodes and Rob-
ert J. Nocounter offer having been cabled. 1t is
probable that the proposed international match
race Is oil. as the season Is too far advanced to
permit OF arranging matters by mail.

ditiOn at Fleetwood Park, pending the answer To
Tewkshnry's conditional acceptance OF the

Although Robert j. was bought to drive on the

drawn from the turf until the close OF next
year. Bovine will probably campaign him in
1897.

PLANS FOR A MAMMOTH SPAN.
Pittsburg Capitalists Contemplate q
Big Plane for That City.

Pittsburg Capitalists Contemplate a
Big Plane for That City.
A charter was issued at Harrisburg
yesterday to the City Incline Plane
company of P%ittsburg, which proposes
to build a gigantic incline plane from
a point on Fourth avenue over the
Monongahela river to the top of Mount
Washington. 1t Is reported that the
company is backed by several wealthy
Pittsburg The plane they have
in view is designed to carry passen-
gers from the center of the business
portion Of the city to the top of Mount
Washington at a comparatively easy
grade and without the discomforts Of
transfers and slow service. The en-
gineer has prepared plans for the
structure, which provide for a total
length of about $500 feet, and a
width of 40 feet. with double tracks
and a grade of between 8 and 10 per
cent.
The colossal feature Of the enter
prise appears in the great suspension
span across the Monongahela river,
1900 feet in length, which would
make it the second longest span III
the country, only being exceeded in
length by the great Brooklyn bridge,
which has a span of 1866 feet long.
The towers at either end average $50
feet in height, and the floor of the
structure, as planned, will cross Car
son street almost 200 feet above the
grade. The Mount Washington end of
the plane, which In reality Is nothing
but a gigantic high grade suspension
bridge, will be $50 feet above city
datum.
The cars are to be operated by ca
! bles, and run at high speed. This will
be rendered possible by the peculiar
construction of the plane, which Is
nothing more than a larger model of
the h%igh-speed suspension bridge be,
ing erected. The plane is of the sus.
pension type, with a %stiffening truss
riveted to the steel columns, the strain
being transferred to the masonry. Nc
distractions will be placed in the way
of river interests. The promoters fol

sUPERIoR's BLEAK SHORE.
Shtpwrecked Sailors Often Cast Into
m W~f1derncs

S~hipwrecked Sailors often Cast Into
a Wilderness.
The recent accident to the steamer
Missoula tends to show more clearly
than anything that has occurred the
vast area of Lake Superior, and the
possibility of a vessels crew reaching
land after shipwreck and yet being I'M
heard of for a couple Of weeks after
starting on a voyage. The shores Of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
on the big lake are traversed by rail
ways and telegraph lines, and the
towns and small settlements on the
American side of the lake, even to the
islands, furnish ready means of COM
munication with the larger cities; but
not so on that part of the Canadian
shore north of the lakes, where a will
derness inhabited by a few fishermen
| and Indians exist. This Is especially
true of the Canadian shore just above
Sault Ste Marie, and for a long stretch
| of country to the north and east of the
| point where the Canadian Pacific rail
way turns in to the shore Of the lake
and traverses 1t toward Port Arthur
and Fort William.
When the Missoula broke her shaft
and was rendered helpless she was
less that twenty-five miles from Carl
bou island on the course down toward
Sault Ste Marie. She was somewhat
| off the regular course of vessels bound
down from the head Of Lake Superior,
but If she had been able to make any
Roadway toward the Sault, or care for
herself at all on the curse she was
following, she would have been picked
ND very soon after the accident by
some passing vessel. But a southerly
wind drifted her out of the course Of
even the few vessels trading to Cana
dian ports at the head of the lakes,
and she was working owe toward the
widest part of the Canadian north
shore territory when her crew was
compelled to abandon her.
A glance at the chart will show that
Brule Point. where the crew of the
Missoula first made land 10 scarcely
more than seventy-ive miles from
Sault Ste. Marie, where 15,OO0,O 900 tons
of freight pass through a canal in a
single season, and yet the men in one
of the Missoula's yawl boats spent
nearly two days working along the
shore of the lake before they found
any more sign of life than a deserted
fisherman's shanty, in which they
built a fire and dried their wet clothing
The fishing season had closed, but
even fishermen are scarce in this ter
ritory during the most active periods.
1t is not strange, therefore, that the
men from the Missoula were nearly a
full week in finding means of commu-
nicating with the owners Of the YES
sci after they had landed on the
dreary north shore Of Lake Superior

e Arc Lamps in the
Yerkes Mansion and n Record

The palatial New York home Of
Charles L. Yerkes, the Chicago mill
iouaire, at SiXty-eighth street and
Fifth avenue, has not only the most
complete electric-lighting, heating and
ventilating pant of any of the several
electrically equipped mansions in the
city, but it has the largest storage bat
terry ever installed in a private resi-
dence. A gas engine of thirty-tlve
horsepower in the basement Is Delted
to a dynamo. The storage battery
consists of sixty cells, having a capac-
ity of 2.jU, nmphere hours at a ten
hour disc barge rate. the maximum dis
charge rate being 800 ampheres for
four hours.
Tho house is wired for about 100
siXteen-candle-power lamps and has.
besides, an electric passenger elevator
and eral electric motors for venti-
lating, pumping and other purposes.
The arrangement Of the lights is
very artistic. The vestibule or recep-
ton hall is lichtCd from above through

A WAR INCIDENT.
How Jackson's Men Came Upon
the Eleventh Corpse.

We of Devens' division, Eleventh
corps, had been idling away the whole
day at Charlottesville. Gen. Hooker's
army had crossed the Rappahannock
above Fredericksburg to flank Lee out
of his position on the hills above the
town. The general idea was that we
were to move, down on his flank and
rear, and why we should waste time
in the woods was a mystery to all.
Reports had come to us that there
had been fighting with Stonewall
Jackson's corps over on the Furnace
road. We wondered why we didn't
move out across the line of retreat,
but officers and privates alike were
kept in ignorance of Hooker's inten-
tiOns. Some said we were to move
toward Fredericksburg that night;
others that we would follow after Lee;
others yet that Hooker was spreading
his net to capture the whole Confed-
crate army on the morrow.
