A MIGHTY FEAT.
Iron Bridge Replaced by One of Steel
in Two and One-HaIf Minutes.
The Span Was 242 Feet Long, 25 Feet Wide
and 80 Feet Deep-Nearly ZOO Tons of
Steel and Iron Moved a Distance of
at Least 25 Feet.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18.-The feat of
replacing an iron bridge span 242 feet
long, 25 feet wide and 80 feet in depth
with one of the same dimensions of
steel was accomplished in this city Sun
day IN two minutes and 80 seconds. In
this space of time nearly 1, 700 CONS of
iron and steel were moved distance of
% feet, and there was not a slip or
hitch in the entire proceedings This
remarkable feat of engineering was &C
compllshed at what is known as the
connecting railroad bridge over the
Schuylki1 just above Girard avenue.
1t is the bridge that bears the tracks of
the New York division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, the busiest division of
the Pennsylvania system.
The time set for the replacement was
the As minutes intervening between
the passage over the bridge of the
Chestnut Hill accommodation trains
leaving Broad street station at 2:47 p.
IN. and at $3.50 p. m.
A work train crossed the eastern end
of the bridge and stopped. The gangs
of trackmen began to unspike the rails
of the westbound 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, PAP feet, was
snaked off in short order.
Meanwhile four stationary engines,
Sne at each end on a level with the
bridge foundations and another at each
end on scows securely moored at the
base of the bridge piers, were putting
and emphasizing their readiness for
the task they had to do. There was
said to be less than a hundred horse
power represented in these four en-
gines, yet so well was everything ar
ranged that they moved the leviathan
without any apparent overeXertion.
Then the signal was given for the lit
tie stationary engines to assert them
selves. 1t seemed as if they all started
at the Identical instant. There was a
Tightening of the cables, an almost i'm
perceptible creak of a wheel some
where, and the big bulk began to move
nOrthward. 1t was like cloclzwork.
AS the edge of the iron span began
to show beyond the bridge piers the
crowds on the north side of the river
set mp a shout, and as the breadth of
the new steel span began to disappear
behind the piers the crowds ON the
southern coigns of vantage also joined
in the cheer, and almost before the
cheer had died away the mighty feat
had been accomplished. In just two
minutes and thirty-two seconds from
the time of starting the engines the
new span occupied the exact position
from which the old one had been re-
moved.

The extreme heat of Saturday and
Friday had much to do with fastening
death. On Friday Mr.. Dana showed
signs of distress, and everything pos
sible was done to relieve him. He had
been weakened by his long illness, and
during the summer was several times
thought to be on the verge of fatal
collapse, but each time rallied. He did
not improve much with the coming
cooler weather and the sinking spells
became more frequent.
On Friday Mr.. Dana was able to take
only the lightest nourishment and this
condition continued. Paul Dana and
his sisters, Mrs. Draper, Mrs. Under
hill and Mrs. Branan were at his home
on Saturday morning and were warned
to remain there. They were at the
bedside when death came.

EVANGELINA CISNEROS
offered Home by Mrs. Martha M. Purdy,
of Kansas.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Evangelina Cis-
neros, who has just escaped from the
narrow walls of Cuban prison, has
been offered home on the wide prai-
ries of Kansas, where the barbed wire
fences are the only suggestions of a
trocha.
The woman's auxiliary of the Cuban
committee met at the home of Mrs.
Martha NJ. Purdy and discussed Cuban
affairs, cOngratulating each other on
the escape of Miss Cisneros, in whose
interest the society had petitioned the
pope and queen of Spain for clemency.
In the midst of the rejoicings Mrs.
Purdy announced that she wrote to
Miss Cisneros in New York, Offering
the young refugee a permanent home
with her father and mother, Mrs.
George M. Munger, in Greenwood
county, Kansas. Mr.. Munger now lives
near Eureka, where he has large fruit
farm.
Mr.. munger lived for time in Cuba,
where he has yet many friends and ac-
quaintances, and he speaks Spanish
fiuently. He and his wife are much
interested in the Cuban question.

The Famous Editor of the New York Sun,
Passes Away, Surrounded by His Family.
New YORK, Oct. 1S.-Charles A. Dana,
editor of the New York Sun, died at
his home in Glencove, Long Island, at
1:2O o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Dana's death had been expected
for several hours, and his family and
physicians were at his bedside when
the end came. His condition had been
such for several months that the mem
bers of his family kept them
selves in constant readiness to go to
his beside at any moment. On Satur-
day morning he had a relapse, and it
was apparent that recovery was impOs-
sible. Several times, however, he rallied,
but toward night he began to sink.
During the night there were feeble raj
lies, but they did not last long. Sun
day morning it was seen that the end
was but few hours off, and his at
tendants remained almost constantly
at his bedside. The end came quietly.

Nearly Four Hundred Buildings Burned
Loss S3,OOO,OOO.
HALIFAX, n. s., Oct. 19.-Historic
Windsor, one of the most beautiful
towns in the province, was devastated
by fire Sunday morning. For six
hours, beginning shortly before 8 am,

gale, ragged SO fercely that the To-
cal fire department was absolutely
helpless to cope with it and within

been eaten up almost completely, the
area covered by the flames being
nearly a mile square, and of the
four hundred or more buildings that
occupy the section, barely half dozen
scOrched structures remain. Among
the buildings that escaped are the
Windsor cotton factory, Kings college,
the Anglican church. the Edgehill
School for Girls and the Buffrin hotel.
The total loss is estimated roughly
at So. 100000 While number of the
heaviest losers are partially insured and
some of them pretty we'll covered, the
total insurance is calculated to be not
more than half million.
