Of the author
Mr.. Craven has made q careful study
OF TSeven Financial Conspiracies" ard

much reliance II placed BY the misguided
Members OF the Peoples party. and be has
very ably demonstrated the unreliable

the last thirty-five years are very sue

Chapter Is shows that the low price OF

the United States alone. Therefore. free
coinage means silver basis. with thu

Gently, 'to hear Mr.. Edison rolling off

his acquaintance TO tell him more,

we might have received from him.

story teller Well, he replied, when l
was quite young man / was u telegraph
operator during the war. / was station
ed at St Louis. which was sort Of dis
tributing point for large district, and
when we would get our batch Of stuff off
and we still had several hours to put in,

would begin to call up the operator at
the other end of the line and gossip with
him. always liked stories, and if Chi
cago had gCCd one, he would wire it
to me. Then / would send that off to
Louisville and New York and Cincin-

SPOTS OF Rust.
they Were but Trifies, but They Helped
to UnraveI Murder Mystery.


to UnraveI n Murder Mystery.
Chicago had chief of detectives 10
or 8 years ago who compared in many
respects with the best European talent.
He did some work which for neatness
and adroit application was equal to
anything that Gaboriau invented. /
have in mind now murder case in
which he figured Some unknown per-
son had shot farmer living a few miles
out of Chicago through the heart. The
murder happened i'll the dead of night
and the victim was decoyed ont of the
house to meet his death.
A dull visited farmland had been
discharged by the dead man, and was
then working in Chicago. This fellow
was promptly placed under arrest. A
pawn ticket for a revolver was found i'll
his pocket. 1t was cheap weapon, and
very little significance was attached to
the fact that the man should have own
ed it and pawned it at that particular
time He gave reasonable account OF
his movements on the night of the
crime, and the murdered mans wife
was firm in her protestations that she
had not seen him for weeks
During the inquest, however, the de-
tectives observed that the bullet which
came out of the dead mans heart was
marked i'll peculiar way. 1t had
scratches Gu one side, rs though there
were defects in the pistol from which it
was fired Examination of the revolver
found in the pawnshop showed two
spots of rust in the chamber near the
muzzle The detectives fired the weapon
three times into barrel of water, and
the balls were marked exactly like the
bullet that killed the farmer A num-
Der of other pistols of the same make
and caliber We're obtained and subject
ed to the same test, but none of the 9TH
er bullets was marked in the same
manner as those from the farmhand's
pistol. 1t appeared, therefore, that the
latter weapon had been used i'll killing
the man, but, while the detective skill
that discovered this damaging fact was
loudly extolled, shrewd lawyers got
hold of the case for the defense and sue
ceeded in getting the man acquitted. -

Train NnIses.

A method of preventing the noise
made by trains when passing over iron
bridges has been devised by n German
engineer named Boedeckor locality not
stated. He puts decking Of u inch
planks between the cross girders, resting
ON three inch timbers laid on the bottom
fanges, while ON the planks double
layer of felt is placed, fixed to the YER
teal web OF the cross girder. AT the
connections with the girder timber
cover joint is put on felt, and two hook
ed bolts connect the whole firmly to the
bottom fiange. -Four inches Of Stag gravel
cover the decking, which is inclined to-
ward the center of the bridge for drain
age purposes, and layer Of felt Is laid
between the planks and the timbers upon
which they rest, and the ironwork in
contact with decking and ballast is as
phalted. The decking weighs 600 pounds
per yard for bridge II feet wide and
costs 23 cents square foot.
