other day. Two scows bore the bridge
down the stream and the 215-ton struc-
ture was placed in position to connect
temporary tracks, while a new bridge is
being placed where the old one had swung
for twenty years.. The means by which
the bridge was moved were extremely
simple. Scows We're filled with water and
placed under the bridge. The water was
then pumped out, which raised the bridge
from it's position. The scows with their
big load were then towed down the river
and anchored between the temporary
tracks. Water was then again allowed to
enter the holds OF the scows, and as they
sunk under the weight the bridge settled
into place. The moving of the bridge was
witnessed by f0,000 persons.

IN the Making there very rarely comes
Eear nzere heavily laden with important
events than the year 1898. 1t has seen
every state in Europe, except peaceful
Bcandiaayia and the Dutch communities,
face To face with either war or internal
disseantioa-some Of them within meas
urab3e distance of both. Yet the greatest
effects have not been in Europe; 1898 has
seea the United States forced, not by any
greed OK power, but by its humanitarian
sdeais, 30 take its part in European rela-
lions. A brief but glorious armed conflict
with Spain has been begun, prosecuted to
ats end and settled by treaty of peace
upon which the ink is scarcely dry. The
aneepfson OF great political changes has
been witnessed in China; two European
sssiers have come to their death; several
men and women prominent in statecraft,
military affairs, reform, literature and
music, have passed away; the year has
been marked by some terrible marine dis
asters, causing great loss of life; and fire,

OF property.

A PARALLEL TO rHURsToN'S PLEA.

ing of an asylum for the insane, she
greatly interested the wife of James C..
Dobbin. the eloquent leader of the
House. After earnest pleadings with all
the members, the bill TO erect the insane
asylum, or Dix bill. failed by close
vote. During the agitation for the asy-
lum Mrs. Dobbin BECAME very i'll and
died about the time the bill was defeat
ed. The defeat of the measure had dis
tressed her and she obtained the prom
ice of her husband on her death-bed that
he would try to secure n reconsideration
of the vote so that the unfortunate in
sane might be removed from the dun
geons and jails where they were i'll
chains. Before the burial of his wife,
his heart bowed down with grief but his
spirit upheld by his loving eagerness to
do her desire, Mr.. Dobbin entered the
House of Representatives and, after the
most eloquent speech ever delivered in
that body, secured the passage Of the
bill that had previously been defeated.
No speech in the history of the State
more profoundly impressed those who
heard it, and it is certain that none re-
suited in greater good to the unfortun-
ate.
Mr.. Thurston's splendid display Of
pathos and patriotic passion, which
thrilled and melted the hearts of those
who heard, will go far toward ameliOrat-
ing the condition of the suffering Cubans.

WILL THERE BE WAR =?

This is the inquiry on every tongue.
The report of the investigating commit
tee. indicating that the disaster to the
Maine came from powerful submarine
mine. will convince the country that it
was the work of men in authority in
Spain. Powerful submarine mines are
not owned by individuals. While the
Spanish government is not connected
with the outrage and did not instigate it,
it is clear that Spain not only cannot
govern Cuba but cannot protect the
ships of a friendly nation i'll its own
harbor.
Concurrently with the report of the
American investigating commission
comes the news that the Spanish com
mission informs its government that the
disaster was caused by am internal cX-
plosion. the result of some accident
aboard the Maine.
This conflict, together with all that
has gone before, makes it clear that the
conditions all point TO war. 1T may be
aycrted but the outlook is that the diff
ferences will be settled by an appeal to
arms.

The Raleigh News and Observer says
that the report sent out from Washing
ton that opposition to the confirmation

against the force bill is not correct"
The News and Observer is right. Ew-
arts opposition to. the force bill has
not been feathers weight against him
The reason that Il manuscript III which
Ewart attacked the authors of the force
bill was submitted to the committee was
because he at one time denied the gen
uineness of the attack. which. in the
form of an interview, written by Ewart,
appeared some years ago i'll the Citizen.
The attempt now to assert that one of
the few manly things Ewart ever did
Ito wit, opposition to the force bills
standing in the way of his confirmation
is simply an attempt to cloud the issue,
