1t was intended to have begun the
work of sinking the caisson for the
construction of the center pier of the
new drawbrldge, yesterday, but in con-
sequence of delay in driving the piling,
which is to guide the big box as it is
sunk into position on the river bed, this
will not be undertaken until Wednes-
day; it Is now believed preparations
will be completed so the caisson can
be partially sunk on that day. Fri
day was the day set for driving the
spiling, but the pile driver was hauled
out for repairs, so the driving was not
done until Sunday. There were moor
ed out in the stream near the site of
the proposed bridge yesterday morning,
dozen scows and other boats en-
ployed in the work, making up a scene
Of considerable activity.
The gate connecting with the new
water main laid on the bed of Quinni-
piac river was turned on Saturday and
Saltonstall lake water let into the big
pipe that is to bring the supply into
the city for the first time. The salt
water was forced out of the pipe and
the main prepared for use. Contrac-

to perform for the New Haven Water
company. He Is to put in new screens

is a hole in this main, as evidenced by
the fact that number of mud tur-

HUGE LOCOMOTIVES.
New Ones Built for the Consolidated
Road.

New Ones Built for the Consolidated
Road
The last issue of the Railroad Gazette
has description of No. 403, one of
twenty large passenger locomotives
that are being built for the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad by
the Schenectady Locomotive works,
and they are among the largest and
best locomotives in the United States.
They are designed and built from
specifications furnished by John Hen
ney, jr., superintendent of motive pow
err of the road. They are for use in the
fast passenger service between New
York and Boston.
The engines in working order weigh
sixty-ffye and one-half tons of which
forty three tons rests on the driving
wheels. The cylinders are twenty
inches by twenty-four, and the four
driving wheels are each six feet and
one inch in diameter. The length over
AN of engine and tender is sixty-one
feet six and three-fourths inches, and
the diameter of the boiler is five feet
two and three-eighths inches
The tender has a tank capacity for
water Of 4,5OO gallons and coal ca
pacity of eight and one-half tons. 1t
is constructed with a water scoop so
that water can be taken while the
train is running at it's usual speed
The engines, of which this is sam
pie, can, 1t is said, easily make a mile
a. minute with six to ten heavy loaded
passenger cars, and they are very nice
1y finished.
Owing to the immense size Of the
boiler and it's height from the track,
the smokestack looks to be very
small and low. 1t is sixteen and one
half inches in greatest diameter and
two feet nine inches in height Or
dinarily, smokestacks on coal burning
engines are from three and one-half
to four or four and one-fourth feet in
height.

FUSION OUGHT TO BE EASY
Minnesota Democrats Conduct Themselves
Almost Like Pops, Anyway.


Minneapolis. Mimi, Aug. 4.-The state
Democratic convention was held here
today. The 600 delegates present were
harmonious so far as the fusion plan
was concerned with the Populists. but
in the deliverance of their charge things
ran less smoothly. This was when the
report of the committee on credentials
was presented for adoption. IL was
understood that there We're no contests,
but a supplementary report was pre-
scented challenging the right of ire
distinguished members of the Ramsey
county delegation to occupy seats on
the floor These were Daniel w. Law
ler national committeeman for Mime
sofa; J. G.. McCafferty and Frank w. NJ.
Cutcheon of st. Paul. All are pro-
nounced gold men who have repudiat-
ed the Chicago platform. The silver
men were determined TO Gust them ana
they did A scene of wild disorder en-
sued and a small-sized riot waged for
an hour. Mr.. Cutcheon had been in
vited to express his views, but when he
began TO speak, the crowd would not
listen to him. All attempts TO preserve
order proved futile and Cutcheon left
the platform with the remark:
'All right, gentlemen, we will meet
you at Phillippi." The three men filed
out of the hall amid the derisive shouts
of hundreds OF angry men.
The fusion plan was adopted. The
Democrats named John Lind for gov
ernor, Julius j. Heinrichs for secretary
OF state and Alexander McKinnon for
state treasurer. leaving the lieutenant
governorship and the attorney general
ship 10 be filed in by the Popuists. The
Democrats also named four presiden-
tial electors. The Populists Will name
the remaining electors.
A feature Of the convention was a
characteristic speech by lgnatius Dom
nelly, pledging harmony in large car
goes and magnificent victory for all
silverites in November.

CROPS ARE ALL RIGHT YET
Only the Late Corn Is In Any PartIculai
Danger of Anything.


Topeka, Kan, Aug. 4.-The Kansas
weekly crop bulletin, issued today, says:
The temperature has averaged four
degrees above the normal The hot.
dry week has been excellent for hay
ing, threshing and maturing corn, but
in places the heat prevented much
work. Corn is generally in very good
condition. In the middle division
early corn is maturing rapidly, leaving
the late corn, which is in fine condi-
ton, still subject to weather condi-
tions. The second crop of alfalfa IS
being cut in Chautauqua county and
the third in Riley. Flax shows a fair
yield. pastures are fine and cattle in
good condition
Lincoln, Neb-, Aug. The Nebraska
crop bulletin, issued today, says: The
temperature for the week has been
about normal. Rain has been general,
exceeding an inch over the greater por-
ton OF the state. The week has been
very favorable for growing crops, but
rain has generally delayed the stalking
and threshing of small grain. No ma
terial injury has been done to small
grain. Corn has grown finely and now
promises an unusually fine crop. In
the southwestern counties a few fields
have been ruined by dry weather. Gen.
orally, there is a feeling of confidence
that the crop is assured. as far as mois-
ture is concerned.
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. .4The weather
crop bulletin, issued today. says: The
weather conditions have been unfavor-
able for completing the work of stack
ing and threshing from the shock, and,
as a result of the frequent and heav
rains Of the past two weeks, the unse-
cured grain has been materially in
jured by rotting and sprouting. Oats
suffered the greater damage, but spring
wheat has also been badly damaged.
Grain is considerably injured by eX-
cessive downpours and heavy winds.
Corn is dong notably well except in
some localities where it was broken
down by wind and hailstormS on the
night of the 26th.
Columbia, Mo-, Aug 4--The Missouri
weekly crop bulletin, issued today, says:
The past week has been the warmest
of the season. The rain in the extreme
northern counties still retards haying
and harvesting of wheat and oats. In
other sections such work has progress
ed favorably. In most counties corn
continues to make good progress. Gar
dens have suffered more or less and
pastures are getting short. Cotton il
