there was no reason why "Waverly''

authority, that though the sermons you
have conveyed be very good in them

very accomplished man said to me, with
much feeling; II have just been read

say that Chalmers could not publish

In the twilight he sat, sadly caress,
ing the brown strands of hair that he
held in his hand
His thoughts went back to the past,
to the love and delight Of 1t.
And yet 1t had been mistake, their
joining hands. Their natures were
composed Of two different elements.
There had been tears and quarrels
without end
Still, lingering on that chestnut braid
before him, his thoughts were filled
with regret.

full of memories, these locks. Memo

In memory of all Of which he sat

MARVELLOUS ENGINEERING FEAT

242-FOOt Iron Span Removed and Re-
placed with Steel In Two minutes and "a
Half.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1S.-The feat of
replacing an iron bridge span PAP feet
long, % feet wide and so feet depth.
with one of the same dimensions of
steel was accomplished in this city
yesterday in minutes and 80 seconds.
In this space of time nearly 1,760 tons
of iron and steel were moved a dis
tance of 25 feet and there was not a
slip or hitch in the entire proceed
ings.
This remarkable feat of engineer
ing was accomplished at what is
known as the connecting railroad
bridge over the Schuylkill, just above
Girard avenue. 1t is the bridge that
bears the tracks of the New York
division on the Pennsylvania railroad.
The time set for the replacement was
As minutes intervening between the
passage over the bridge of the Chest
nut Hill accommodation train leaving
Broad-street station at 2:47 p. M, and
at 3:35 p. III.
A work train crossed to the eastern
end of the bridge and stopped. The
gangs of trackmen began to unspike
the rails of the west-bound track on
the old span. This done, the grapplers
of the work train took hold of the
ends of the rails, the engine started
up and the entire length of rails, 243
feet, was snaked off in short order.
Meanwhile four stationary engines,
one at each end and on a level
with the bridge foundations and an
other at each end on scows securely
moored at the base of the bridge
piers, were putting and emphasizing
their readiness for the work they had
to do. There was said to be less than
1OO-horse power represented in these
four engines, yet SO well was every
thing arranged that they moved the
leviathan without any apparent over
exertion. Then the signal was given
for the little stationary engines to as
sert themselves. 1t seemed as if they
all started at the identical instant.
1t was like clocl1work. AS the edge
of the old iron span began to show be-
yond the bridge piers, the crowds on
the north of the river set up a shout,
and as the breadth of the new steel span
began to disappear behind the piers,
the crowds on the southern coigne OF
vantage also joined in the cheer, and
before the cheer had died away the
mighty feat had been accomplished.
In just minutes and ~ seconds
from the time of starting the engines
the new span occupied the exact posi-
tion from which the old one had been
removed

The Cigarette Law.

A test case has been commenced at
Knoxville, at the instance of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, to again test
the cigarette law of this State. 1t is
likely that the recent decision of Judge
Lurton will be abandoned by the to-
bacco trust at Nashville, as the case
only covered a small part of the ques-
tion involved. The trust shipped to
Knoxville a packing box full of the
small packages of cigarettes that sell
for 10 cents, on which there was affixed
the internal revenue stamp. j. Blau-
field, dealer in tobacco, sold one of
the small packages of cigarettes from
the box and was arrested. A writ of
habeas corpus was granted by United
States Judge Clark, and Blaufeld was
released pending the hearing of the
case at Chattanooga on the 3Oth of this
month.
