Those who have not seen the great
structure ut Niagara which it Ia intended
to replace will hardly rsalize the stupend-
Gus character OF the undertaking. Imag-
inc the task Of replacing the simplest
sort OF bridge without iuterrnpting
traffic, and then add about /, 600 per cent.
to the difficulty. This will give some
thing OF an idea of what oonfronts engi-
neers and builders.
IN an Undertaking of this nature the
slightest error might be productive of
lnnnlte disaster Every measurement
must be accurate to hairs breadth
Every portion of the great arch must per-
form lis particular share of the great
com bination that will be one Of the mar
vols OF the Grid
All that in done must be accomplished
quickly, for in affairs of this nature tins
is, indeed money. Every man who oan
be utilized will join the army of con-
struction. Perhaps no work OF recent
years has required, or will yet need,
more skilled labor. In fact, in bridge
building it is becoming unsafe to utilize
labor of any other class. The bridge,
when complete. will in truth be work
of genius in point of construction, as well
as Ia point of conception.
The work of preparing the material for
the great structure has been in progress
for some time, as little can be accom-
plished in an enterprise are complete.
When the effort Of placing the different
parts OF the bridge in position is begun
Niagara will be one of the busiest of
busy places. -Railroad Gazette.

The Ethnio exphibition of strange people

TAUGHT TO LIVE ON LAND.
Remarkable Tale of Fish Taken From
His Element.
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. =,

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.)
Marietta, o., July l9-There was a
man in this city yesterday who told
about the biggest fish story ever heard in
this vicinity. His name is Henry Wilson
and he halls from up near the head of
Middle Island Creek, in West Virginia.
Wilson'S story is this: Near his home
in West Virginia is an old Squire of the
name of Spencer. who believes that any
it's element. Several months ago he
caught large cat fish without doing it
any injury and proceeded in an expert
ment to prove his theory. He dug n holo
in his yard, which he filed with water,
and in which he deposited the fish. Every
day he took out a portion of the water
until there was very little left This he
let evaporate, and wonderful to say the
fish still lived, accustoming itself to the
air and apparently thriving. Finally
| Squire Spencer took the fish out of the
hole and kept him in the yard, where he
fed him and treated him in much the
| same way that he would treat any barn
! yard animal
| The fish at once took on dociIe habits
and became very affeotionate. Whenever
1t would see it's master 1t gave forth q
sound of recognition and wabbled itself
as near as possible to him. Spencer pet
ted him and became so fond Of him that
he would often take him along with him
when he went away from home. One
thing very peculiar about the fish was
that 1T would never have anything to do
with the other members Of Spencer 8
family, but would show great fear at
their approach. Spencer was very jubi-
liant at this apparent vindication of his
theory, and was preparing to exhibit the
phenomenon at the country fairs in his
section.
But the most remarkable and wonder
full part of the story yet remains to be
told. One day, as Spencer was starting
off for short walk the fish started to
wabble along after i'm.
All went we'll until Spencer crossed a
shallow creek on a foot log, and the fish,
in attempting to follow, got as far MS the
middle of the log. lost his balance and
| fell into the water. Spencer could have
saved the fish, but supposing that it
could swim he let it alone, when, to his
surprise. the fish, after making several
desperate founders in the water, keeled
over on its back and drowned. So far as
can be agcertalned this Is the first in
stance Oh record of fish being drowned,
but Mr.. Wilson appears to be a reliable
man, and says he Is able to prove this
most wonderful fish tale.

Tbs new bridge is to be built over the

construct false works over the Niagara
gorge to sustain a structure of this class.
The span will have e rise of $50 feet
from the level of the piers at the skew
backs to the centre of the ribs at the
crane of the arch, which point is 40 feet
above low water. The depth of the trus-
ses is 26 feet. and they will be 6S.7 in

tracks will be roadway for carriages

raised six inches from the lsyel of the
roadway, will be footpaths.

span Is from plans of L. l.. Buck engi-

Cambrics, lawns. light weight fannela
and silks are used for these simple bed

tiion of the popular "Mo.her Hubbard
but the yoke is rounded both back and
front. 1t is, however. entirely concealed
by the becoming broad collar which is
pordered with ruff1e of embroidery or
lace. This, of course, can be omitted
when very plain garment is desired,
but it adds much style to the gown. The
full bishop sleeve is very comfortable and
becoming. and should be made conven-
lent length. for if made too long they
droop untidily.
A special illustration and full direc.

A North of Ireland View of ID,


The triumph of the democrats would have
been little short of disastrous not only to
the best interests of America but to inn
portant interests in this country as well.
Under Mr.. Mckinley and his party the Con-
sttutfon of the United States will at least
be safe, and the credit of the country will
remain. The tariffs may rise somewhat:
they may even reach the high level from
which they were pulled down less than q
couple of years ago at Mr.. Wilson's initia-
tive But there will be no wholesale repu.
diation of national obligations under the
specious pretext Of altering the money
standard. 1t was at the free silver" cry
OF the Bryanites that the country took
alarm. The platform was attractive
enough to the western farmers who were
educated into the belief that free silver"
meant ransomed farms" The less stable
elements in American society were also at
tracted by the dishonest arguments of the
silver democrats, and at one time the dam
ger OF these appeals to the lowest instincts
being successful began to be seriously an
pretended As the days wore on however
the good sense of the electorate ma infested
itself, so that on the day of the poll the
outcome OF the struggle was in little doubt
and II only remained to await the fun re.
