Why a chicago bridge CAV. Way,

From the Railroad Gazette OF April II IS

press. The account given by the ElilrOa

fault lies wholly with the inspectors, who
were appointed hy the city 20. Chi ago. and
who were not under Mr.. Waidsii
The Railroad GaZrtte says. The acct
dent IN question consisted In the falling uf
a portion Of the four reuuterw-ights, which
are attached 10 the corners of the briig .
Ia n Of these cguuteFweights weighs 1877,
afp pounds ami is divided into four por-
lions. which consist Of cast iron weights,

rods broke y hile the bridge was being
raised. thus throwing all the weight on
the remaining roi,which then broke and al
lowed the weight 10 fail about 10 feet,
nearly the height OF the lift, The guides
were some hat damaged, and the hOOriug :
beneath was destroyed. the Wei lshts bury
ins themselves in the bottom of the river.
An examination on IN" roi that was
first broken showed that al the place where
the fracture occurred the Iod was defect

Soins of her best known books are:

Dodge's peculiar onslaught on political
methods and politicians that displeas-
ed her are known. This same indie
pendent, self-assertion marks her in
her social relations. She was little
known to the villagers at Hamilton,
despite the fact that her life has been
passed there. She Travelled much. A
Pullman car conductor tells an anus
ing story of his experience with her.
Miss Dodge and Mrs. Blaine were once
travelling together on pass made out
for Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine. The conduc-
tor looked at the pass and then quiet
~ asked which was Mrs. Blaine. That
woman nodded, and the conductor then
asked Gail for her ticket. Ticket,
said she, "why, l am Mr.. Blaine" And
she was for that trip. Shrewd as
Miss Dodge was, however, she occa-
sionally was taken in. An illustration
was the faith she placed in Mrs. Howe
and her woman's bank scheme. Miss
Dodge was indignant with the newspa-
pers when they started to expose the
fraud, and herself went so far as to
write an article for the Atlantic Month
ly in defense.

pliment by British Methodists.
Rev. DR.. Marshall Randles, who was
recently elected president of the Wes-
leyan conference of England, is per-
haps the most prominent of the British
Methodists. BY birth and training he
is a Lancashire man. AS long ago as
1850 he offered himself candidate for
tho Wesleyan ministry and was accept
ed. Then he entered Didsbury Theo-
logical College, and under the tutorship
of the late DR.. Hannah he served the
full term in a number of the best cir
cults of the church. For seventeen
years he has acted as chairman of six
districts, chiefly in his native county
and in Yorkshire. When Rev. DR.. w.
B. Pope retired from the theological
professorship at Didsbury College, DR..
Handles was elected to his chair and
has since exerted a powerful influence
in molding the thought of the rising
ministry of this connection. In 1891

GAIL HAMILTON.

IF you don't like me" said she, you
can fire me- l can try it, and later de-
velopments will be the best tests of
my capability."
Try it she did, and a pleasant i'm
preston it was that she made.
Miss Dodge as pupil had been quick
to learn and brilliant in the expression
of her thoughts. Her scholarship,
however, was not considered as thor
ough or finished by her teachers as
that of her sister, Hannah. Her quick
ness and gift of expression and COM
munication, however, stood her in good
stead in the schoolroom, and is not a
little the element to which she owed
success as a writer and maker of
books" From Hartford she entered the
family of Prof. Bailey the mathemati-
clan, and former editor of the National
Era, as governess. She occupied that
position for some time, and left it to
engage in literary pursuits. Gail Ham,
ilton, as her books show, was ready
and vigorous writer. She threw her
works off with steam engine speed.
She said she had no literary methods.
She did the greater part of her writ
ing in the morning and gave the aft
ernoon to recreation, which meant
walking or riding. She was a famous
pedestrian. Her books are the result,
as she put it, Of outside irritation.
This. translated into homely illus
tration, means that she was something
like the Irishman, who when he saw
a head hit it." She needed some cause
to excite her interest, or some measure
to arouse her contempt, to start her
