According to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, President-elect Mckinley
will probably have two of the hand
soonest horses ever seen in Washing
ton. The late Gen. Joseph T. Tor
renee, of Chicago, possessed as fine a
stable of horses as was owned in the
Windy City. 1t was the Generals in
tention before his death that two mag
niticent brown horses, the best matched
pair in his stables, should be present
ed to Mr.. Mckinley to ride behind to
the Capitol on Inauguration day. in the
event of his election. The General left
no written will to this effect, but it is
said that his daughter, Mrs. Magoun.
who has come into possession of the
estate, will probably carry out her
fathers wish and present the horses
to the President-elect, and that they
will take their place in the White
House stable on the 4th of March.

CONNECTICUT AVENUE BRIDGE.
First Steps Taken Today for It's Coz
structiOn,

First Steps Taken Today for Its Con-
structfon.
The first steps in the matter of con-
structing bridge over Rock creek on
line with Connecticut avenue were taken
today, when Engineer Commissioner Black
formally gave three leading bridge en-
gineers of the country an opportunity to
compete for the prizes offered for the best
designs.
In the current appropriation bill the fol-
lowing item occurs:
The Commissioners of the District of
Columbia are hereby authorized to secure
designs by competition for a bridge or
viaduct across Rock creek on the line of
the extension of Connecticut avenue, and
the sum of 5000 is appropriated therefor"
When this money became available the
Commissioners were in a quandary as to
how to accomplish the best results for the
limited appropriation. 1t was believed that
the best engineers would not go into COM
petition, and the interests of the District
demanded the highest skill In preparing
these plans The preparation of plans for
such a structure as is wanted over Rock
creek at this point involves the most care
full computation, and they must be reliable.
When the Commissioners were ready to
proceed with, the work $500 was set aside
to make corings surveys, etc, 20 get an
idea of the foundations that would be nee
essary. After these details had been es-
tablished Commissioner Black hunted up
authorities on engineers and obtained
list of the best in the country. He was un-
able to select all he investigated. and ac-
cordingly narrowed the competition down
to three, all Of whom are men of the high
est reputation. With balance Of 81 GOO
unexpended 500 was laid aside for emer-
gencies and the remainder divided into
three prizes Of 5000 for the first. $500 for
the second and 500 for the third AS an

Probably there is no better known and

her children, who, she told him were at
home without anything to eat.

scream and also picked up a stone. but
before he could hurl it the fiend pointed
revolver into his face and command
ed him to rum The lad almost distract

mother was lying unconscious where
the struggle had taken place. When

BOLAND ARRESTED.
Charged with Embezzling Funds That
Game Into His Hands as Tax
Collector of DuumOre.

Tax Collector T. Il. Boland. of Dun
more borough, was arrested last night
for embeZzlement on d warrant sworn
out before Alderman John Z. Howe, by
Jerry McPeek. of the Sixth ward of
Dunmore.
When taken into custody the accused
went before Squire Cooney, waived a
hearing and furnished s., 500 bail for his
appearance at court.
McPeek's allegations are of very
serious nature. The chief charge is
that of collecting taxes from persons
whom he marked in his report as hay
ing been eXonerated.
Other charges are to the effect that
he gave tax receipts to persons who
never paid their taxes in order to en-
able them to vote at the recent bitter
ly contested borough election. and that
he failed last year to file with the coun-
~ commissioners as required by stat
ute, list of those who paid their taxes.
Watson & Zimmerman have been re-
tained to prosecute the case.
