w. A. Tremayne has written a new
play called "A Secret Warrant !"
which will be presented by Robert
Mantell at the Lansing theatre next
Thursday. November 4. The romance
is exciting and savOrs of the Dumas
school. Love and rapiers dash
through it. HerOism and chivalry
meet intrigue and treachery. 1t is a
war Of right against might, Of virtue
against regal power. Louis de Beau
mont is a splendid fellow of the DAT
tagnan type and it is not surprising
that more than one lady falls i'm love
with him. He, however. favOrs only

wise to thwart the wishes of Court

BRIDGE AND RAFT STORY.

''The Every Evenings excuse for the
trouble at Third street bridge is that
the centre pier has sunk six inches, "
remarked a local bridgebuilder to an
Evening Journal reporter this morning.
THAT is all bosh. If the pier were to
sink that much II would be impossible
to work the bridge. Still. that state
ment is in keeping with The reputation
of The paper for accuracy. For instance,
it told us Friday that a raft 700 feet
wide and 600 feet long passed through
the Delaware canal. When we con-
slider that the locks of the canal are
but twenty-four feet wide and the ca
nal itself not more than fifty feet, 1t is
difficult to imagine how a sensible
newspaper can make such an assertion
The whole trouble at Third street
bridge is the incompetency of ths
tenders"

KLONDYKE RAILROAD PROJECT.
PROFESSOR PRATT. WHO is ON HIS
WAY HOME. MAKES A SATlSFAC-
TORY INVESTIGATION.


Seattle. Sept. 12.-W A. Pratt, the
engineer who was sent to the North

sance for railroad into the Yukon
country, returned yesterday from Ju-
neau on the steamer City of Topeka.
He left yesterday afternoon for the
East. Accompanying him was his as
sistant, l.. G. Janney, of Baltimore
The result of Mr.. Pratt's investigations
were so satisfactory, from an engineer
ing standpoint, that it is probable sew
eral engineering parties will be put u
the field within a few weeks, making
preliminary surveys for the line.
The proposed railroad is 162 miles in
length, and the route runs from the
head of Taku inlet to Lake Teslin, in
the interior. Lake Teslin is at the
head Of Hootalinqua river, one OF the
principal tributaries CT the Yukon, and
both are navigable. so that the line will
be from salt water navigation tt
steamer navigation on the river
Speaking of the proposed railroad, Mr.
Pratt said:
TT is a favorable route. indeed, fol

JUNCTION of the Cloclobeen and Nakimi
rivers. thence up the latter river tC
