new bridge connecting Spruce Head
with the mainland. at this place, was
dedicated yesterday. with elaborate ex-
ercises. The occasion was made holi-
day. There was "A pa. ldc band concert

match In the afternoon, and a display OF
fireworks and q bail atnight. The bridge
Is 400 feet long. Of iron. with stone abut-
ments. The petition for IL was granted

bridge was opposed by South Thomaston
people, who did not want to bear the ex-
pense, so that the matter has been In
litigation ever since. The legal fees in
the bridge case have cost far more than
the bridge. and II constitutes one Of the
most notable cases I'm the Maine courts.

SEVEN MEN MISSING.
Details OF the Wreck OF the Clipper Ship
Willie Rosenfeld

New York. oct. 23-Captain w. II.
Dunphy of the American ship Willie
Rosenfeld, which sprung aleak off Cape
Horn and sank, while trying 10 make the
Brazilian coast, was a passenger on the
steamship Newton, from Santos. which
arrived yesterday afternoon. Captain
Dunphy said he was near Cape Horn
when he experienced a severe northeast
gale, during which the ship sprung
aleak. After weathering the gale. the
leak was found to be OF such serious
nature as to render il hazardous to pro-
ceed, and Captain Dunphy shaped his
course for the Falkland islands. 1t was
impossible to make headway, so Captain
DUnphy headed for Rio Janeiro. When
he was within 500 miles of that port a
strong gale sprung up, and the heavy
sea made the Rosenfeld labor heavily
and the leak became worse. Finally a
new leak was discovered in another part
OF the ship, and Il was decided to run for
shore. but the leak gained too rapidly
and the boats were made ready and she
was abandoned. Two hours afterward
she sank.
The three boats in which the crew en-
barked We're separated during the first
night out. Captain Dunphy. with the
lifeboat and - men, headed for the near
est coast distant about 400 miles, and
landed eight days later at Invituba,
Brazil The first mates boat, with
seven men, also made land few days
later, but the second mates boat. also
with seven men, had not been heard
from at the time Captain Dunphy sailed
by the Newton from Santos.
The Rosenfeh was a large wooden
ship of 233S net tons burden. She was
built in 1885 at Bath, Me. and was owned
principally by Arthur Sewall, the can
didate for vice president. Captain
Dunphy also owned a share in the ship
and so did his brother. Neither were in
sured.

cial reports it:
A feeble old man whose yellow
complexion indicated liver troubles
offered resolution. His opponent
got up and excitedly exclaimed:
Mr.. Chairman, Mr.. Chairman,
the gentleman is out of order and
therefore cannot offer the resolu-
ton"
The old man replied in an equally
excited manner: ''Mr. Chairman,
the gentleman is right. I am out
of order. The doctor told me this
morning that my liver was all out
of order. But, Mr.. Chairman,
should like to see the clause in the
constitution which says that if a

"A Monkeys Accomplishment.

No creature but man has ever
made use of fire. An African traveller
indeed has told story of apes max
ing a thieving raid on camp of ma
tives and carrying torches to light
their way, but this story lacks proof
and is not accepted as true by zool-
ogists.
There is, however, in the Phila-
delphia geological garden q monkey
who has learned to scratch matches
perfectly well. This accomplish
ment he is willing to exhibit on any
occasion. He has learned to hold
tho match by its middle part, so
that his fingers are are not burned
by being too near the flame, and so
that the match will not break by be-
ing held too near the other end.
This fact involves another-that
he is aware which end has the sui
phur and does not attempt to scratch
the unsulphured end. He has fur
thermoro learned that q rough sur
face is better to scratch the match
on than smooth one, and his care
in looking for a rough place is very
diverting.
But with all this intelligence the
monkey has no notion of kindling
another fire with the one that he has
caused by tho friction of the match.
He simply lets the match burn out,
and if he lights another does it for
the pleasure of seeing it burn.
This monkeys keepers and the
men of science who are experiment.
ing with his intelligence hope to
communicate to him eventually an
idea of fire making and using, but
from the moment they succeed in
doing Soft they ever do succeed
it will be necessary to keep matches
out of his reach. s Compan-
