trouble
Gillett shipped 1900 head of cattle to
Kansas City this year and as many last
year. He often made a profit of s. head,
but his expenses were enormous.
The creditors of Gillett spent Sunday
struggling over the wreck which he left
behind him. 1t has developed into case Of
every man for himself. and the result is a
worse snarl than ever Each commission
firm who holds Gulett paper seems to de-
vote most OF his time in cheekmating the
moves the others make. In the meantime
losses are piling on losses.
There is no one to feed or water the thou
sands of cattle at the Gilett farm here,
and while the creditors of the failed mag
nate are quibbling among themselves the
cattle in the stalls are dying for the want
OF water and feed. The employees Of the
ranch have deserted their posts. On a side
track are twenty carloads more of Here
fords and Sh0rthorns suffering in the
storm, with no one to care for them. They
had arrived on the date of the failure.
It is stated to-day that Gillett has GER
tainly mortgaged and remortgaged the
same cattle TO different parties. In at least
one case, il was stated to-day. he rebranded
cattle he had sold to one man and mort
gagged them to a commission house, or, as
seems probable, to two or three commission
houses, for a heavy sum, and then had the
herd divided and driven quietly off his farm

WARNING FROM Mr.. RoEBLIN G
Constructor of brooklyn Bridge Calls
Attention to Defects.

NEW YORK, Nov. N.-Washington A.
Roebling. chief engineer in the construction
of the Brooklyn bridge, called renewed at
tention to the defects in the structure yes
terday. 1t will be remembered that public
alarm was aroused last July by the dis
covery that some of the Orders had buckled
under excessive strain. The sagging of the
bridge had been noticeable to persons cross
ing. Repairs were made and the trolley
companies were compelled to allow greater
Roadway for their cars.
Mr.. Roebling is not satisfied however.
He declares that the bridge is overloaded,
and though he does not fear that it will
give way, he says a rehabilitation of the
present margain of safety is imperative.
When seen at his home in Trenton, N. j.,
he said
THE crying evil on the bridge is that
every year since it has been opened to
traffic there have been numerous additions
to the dead load, small in themselves but
large in the aggregate They amount to
must be multiplied by a factor of tension
of 10, and is intensified by being carried
chiefly by the two middle cables.
They comprise, for example, telegraph
cables and wire, pneumatic tubes. double
lines of rails, fastenings sheaves and ropes,
trolley wires. with extra heavy supporting
brackets; heavy rails for trolley cars,
heavier planking, electric light stands etc.
What is needed at present Is a recall
culation of the loads and weights of the
bridge, so as to determine the present mar
gin of safety, in the main parts of the
structure, such as cables, anchorages, etc.
Application to this effect has been made to
the proper authorities by me, without any
satisfactory result as yet. | have no fear

with ease.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
Piece of Flesh Driven Through a Vein
Into a Mans Heart.

NEW YORK, Nov. H.-John Wagenblant
died at st. GATHERINGS Hospital to-day as
the result of a remarkable accident. He
was shot with a piece of his own flesh,
which, entering a vein, brought about his
death. Had Wagenblant lived he would
have been the only man in the world with
out a face, except a face of celluloid that
was being made for him. He was twenty
one years and lived with his parents in
Williamsburg. Nov. 10 he was handling an
old musket, which accidentally exploded,
the charge striking him full in the face.
Both ears the nose, the left cheek and
the forehead were entirely torn away, and
both eyes destroyed. 1t was not believed
that he could live an hour The victim was
taken to a hospital, and the surgeons final
ly determined upon preparations for maxi
ing for the young man a face of celluloid.
LIQUID food was given to Waganblant by
means of a feed cup with a, long nozzle.
just as a nurse had finished attending to
him he died W. .nout an instant's warning.
An autopsy showed it was not the loss OF
his face that had killed Wagenblant, but
a marvellous and unsupported accident. A
fragment of flesh, torn from the forehead
by one of the buckshot, had been driven
into q vein, and, taken up by the current
of the blood, had been slowly pushed to-
ward the heart. Finally the particle Of
flesh reached the heart, causing instant
death 1t was, in its effects as IL a knife
point had been driven into the heart.

A BRITISH KICK.
Recognize Uncle Sans Enterprise IN
the ChIriqui Incident.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The Standard pub
fishes special article this morning dealing
with the report of the recent concession Sc
cured by the United States at Chiriqui, in
the department of Panama, Colombia. The
writer says: Great Britain was advised to
secure a harbor there in 1889, and her re-
lection of this advice must be placed among
her lost opportunities The strategical adj
vantages of Chiriqui are important, and we
may expect the American occupation to be
something more than nominal. The Incl
dent is another proof of the energy, deter
mination and prescience of the United
States in pursuing the role of an imperial
nation"
The article calling attention to the fact
that ''any attempt to fortify or colonize
this would be in contravention of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, which British govern
ments have successfully declined to modi-
fy,' says: "If so valuable a concession Is
now granted it would be interesting to know
what is the consideration offered to Great
Britain Doubtless there may be reasons
for modifying or abrogating the treaty, but
it is to be assumed that the Foreign Office
will take care the important rights secured
to Great Britain under the treaty will not
be abandoned with sufficient compensation
either in the American iSthmus or else
where"

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 27.-The
miners at Langford's mine, in West Terre
Haute, are on strike because the scale price
is not paid. The West Terre Haute miners
have become affiliated with the Terre Haute
Central Labor Union and that organization
is back of the present effort to secure better
pay. The teamsters employed to haul the
West Terre Haute coal to this side of the
river have notified the operators that they
will demand an advance Of 10 cents a ton
in Indiana is at full capacity for the num-
Der of available miners, and there is some
talk of advancing the selling price at the
mines. The demand for Indiana coal Is
better than it has been for number of
years. One of the noticeable facts about
the increased demand is that inquiries are
coming from the natural gas field, which
has not been buying coal for some years.

duction of the one well being the best evil
