THE ROADS AND BRIDGES OFF
PORTO RICO.

Though for reasons Of personal safety
l was compelled, for a good part OF the
time, to avoid all well Travelled roads
skirting them as best l could over
country byways and cattle trails I still
had sufficient opportunity to test the
quality Of several Of the larger roads
traversing the island, among them tho
famous military highway connecting
the one fortified city OF Sian Juan with
the centre of the island and the port OF
Ponce on the other side. This road is
not surpassed by anything have trav-
eled over in America or Europe A BIZ
cycle corps could go over It without
dismounting. The roads of Porto Rico
are clearly not meant to be temporary
affairs, but were built to stay. Their
original construction must have been
the work OF unusually competent engi-
neers, and the island authorities make
Il a point, evidently, to keep the condi-
tlon of all the roads UP to their first
high standard of excellence. Macada-
mized as they are, they are kept in
condition by the municipal authorities
Of each separate district, and their con-
vex central road-bed is constantly
brought up to its original level by fill
ings Of gravel and cement, while the
bridges and other stone masonry along
the way are maintained in lasting good
repair. Much OF this labor is done by
convicts. Almost all the bridges I had
to cross impressed me as unusually
solid and we'll built. Their arches were
generally strengthened by stone abut-
ments where the current was strong,
and where wood was used paina had
been taken to select only such timber
as would not rot under water or fall a
prey to the wood worm. Crossing the
river Loisa, near the capital in particu-
lar. 1 rode over a magnificent wooden
bridge. From San Juan to Rio Piedras

bridges. with piers ard 9butments One
of these crosses the branch OF sail

OF it's ends, crosses the branch OF th'
sea which communicates with the har

TIRED OF FORT MOTT.

Salem, July 19.-The 200 volunteer
infantrymen stationed at Fort Mott,
comprising the Fourteenth Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteers, experienced
change in their finances last week,
and the monoteny Of a soldiers life in
a neighborhood of peace and quiet has
been forgotten, with the arrival of the
paymaster, who distributed nearly
$4,000 among the soldiers, they having
received their last pay during the
month Of April. The troops are very
anxious to get orders to move, although
they are accorded the most courteous
treatment by the citizens Of this sec
ton. Yet the life at the fort has no
charms for the soldiers, because all
the danger Of a Spanish armada COM
ing up the Delaware has been removed,
and the soldiers say they are growing
tired OF doing nothing. The women OF
this place are preparing TO give the
soldiers a reception tomorrow after
noon as a testimonial OF the kindly
feeling between soldier and civilian.

TESTING TELEGRAPH POLES.

The life Of a telegraph pole has been
a much disputed question between rail-
road and telegraph officials, and the
officers of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore railroad have made
arrangements to have a definite test.
The company has planted forty-two
poles along its line at different places
The poles are divided as follows: Six
chestnut poles, creosOted; six pine
poles, creosoted; six chestnut poles
woodline; six set in broken rock, six in
clay, six in the ordinary manner, and
six to have a hole bored near the
ground so they can be saturated with
oil It will take at least three years to
determine the test.

It becomes marketable to pay off the

SENT FAT HORSES TO PASTURE
AND BROUGHT SKELETONS BACK
ONE DEAD.
Robert Kenyon lost "a valuable young
mare last Saturday and has another
horse I'm n very serious condition and Il
will require an of DR. Alahaffy's skill TO
restore the horse to health again. The
cause Of the trouble brings to light case
OF pronounced cruelty to dumb animals.
Mr. Kenyon sent the two horses TO the
farm Of Charles McNamee near Elsmere.
for pasture and rest The mare had been
working hard and the other animal was
a net and treasured because It had be-
longed to Mr.. Kenyons son. who Is now
dead The animals had been on the farm
for about six weeks when Mr.. Kenyon
thought ne would like to see them. hav-
ing visions OF a pair of slick. fat and
frisky horses after the long rest on good
green pasture But when he arrived at
McNamces. he found his horses hardly
able to stand alone and instead Of being
in a good pasture field, they had been
turned into a woods. with scarcely any
shrubbery except some briar bushes.
Their condition almost sckened the
owner OF the horses. and ne at once ac-
cused the man of starving his horses and
the man told him that two OF his horses
had died and were then lying out IN the
field with his other stock. Mr. Kenyon
brought his starved beasts back to the
city, but the little mare was too far gone
and could not eat anything, and death
ended her suferings.
DR.. Mahamy is attending the other one,
and may bring IL sfround but II will take
time, as the horse is almost skeleton.
Before IT went on pasture It was very
fat.
