BUNCO'S BRAND NEW GUISE.

A dispatch from Wolcott, n. Y,
says a prosperops-loobing mau, who
gave his name as F. H. Ridgeway, and
who se'd he was promoter, called up
on Farmer John Or l. vt week with Tr
alleged letter ofintroduction ON Orr's
Philadelphia brother, and offered to
buy a supposed worthless sulphur
spring on er unused eighty acre piece
of ground owned by John Orr; the
eighty acres, of course, to go with the
spring.
He stayed over night, and in the
morning was driven out by the farmer
to the spi ing, which be wanted to ex-
anime. He wasted but little time look
ing at the sp.ng, but closely inspected
some rocks that were near by.
Apparently satisfied, bis terms, $40 :
600, were accepted. He gave a check
for 5000 end said he would go to
Philadelphia and return in few days
with the remaining So COO in cash.
Subsequently enother stranger ap-
rssred on the scene, and without any
prelimnaries asked Orr what he would
take for his S0.acre farm. Orr replied
that he had already sold it to g man
named Ridgeway for $4,000.
The stranger became greatly ex-
cited, and said "Ridgeway is trying
to swindle you. He does not want the
spring, but he wants the farm for the
building stone which is on it, and
which government geologists have
valued at half million dollars. You're
neing swindled. III tell you what to
do Buy Ridgeway off for $4,000,
and we will work the quarry on
shares"
The stranger and Orr then started
out among the neighbors - borrow the
necessary cash, the stranger agreeing
- stand half the expense. as soon as he
.uld get TO Philadelphia to draw the
money from the bank. Meanwhile, as
security to Orr, he handed him bun
die of securities OF a supposed value far
in excess of the $4,000
Orr raised $4,000 of the sum from one
of his neighbors, and while in the
neighbor's house, becoming suspicious,
be quietly opened the bundle of securi-
ties and found the contents to be moth
Jog but pieces of old newspapers.
When he told stranger No. 2 Of his dis

ENGINEERING TRIUMPH.

The new drswbridge over the Passsic
river constructed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad for its main line tracks, was
moved into place at Newark, N. j., on
Sunday in a few seconds less than nine
minutes. At 1853 o. m, George Mer
shou, bridge superintendent of the east
ern division, gave the signal. At Los
D. M, the draw VIZ in place. This
feat is pronounced to be one of tt 9
greatest IN engineering.
The new bridge contains 1000 tons of
steel, and the old bridge less than half
that weight. The new structure was
built because the engineers found the
old structure too light for up-to date To-
comotives. To remove it and place a
heavier bridge in its place without block
ing the railroad or river traffic for
long time was a perplexing problem.
The ends of this draw when open rest on
tenders, which protect the structure
from injury by passing boats. These
tenders, or piers, were extended so as
to make a temporary railway track.
At one end lay the new draw, next the
old one, on huge trucks capable OF sus-
tanning 100000 pounds weight each.
Giant ropes were attached to the old,
coupled with the new and leading to
the drums of stationery engines.
When all was in readiness the signal
wa7 given, the engines began to snort,
the ponderous bodies of iron began to
move and in nine minutes the new
draw had been hauled to the position
of the old. The new structure was
lowered, but it went down on inch and
half too much, which prevented o
snug fit. Powerful jacks raised it to
the proper line and the job We practi-
cally done. In all the proce IS the main
line tracks we're blocked not more than
four or five hours, and in that + sriod
trains to and from New York rsed 'e
Genie street bridge.

WHERE TRUSTS HURT.

Among the many trusts that have
 been formed in the past few months
 very few have any ether purpose than
 the sale of stock Most of them will
 have little or no influence over the en-
 terprises they are advertised to con- trol There is far more reason to fear the consequences Of the speculative mania they have stimulated than any increase in the prices of products or the restriction Of production The very lambs that are bleating in Wall street over the loss of their wool in other forms of gambling, regard a ma jority of the trusts as transparent schemes to entrap rural victims. While great sums ill the aggregate will be lost from the avidity of the people to invest in the shares of the trusts that arg so vigorously denounced, the worst effect will be in promoting the spirit of rash speculation
 To experienced men this eagerness of smsll savers to make a fortune in a day is all so hopeless and pttifuI that immoral as the enterprise un- doUbtedly is, there is ] sentiment of sympathy for them. It calls for q pc culiar talent, tremendous nerve, great foresight snd large experience for persons to make and keep a fortune in speculation. The ordinary small saver has no more reason to believe he can estimate the purposes of the shrewd men who manipulate stock enterprises and get on the winning side than any other lamb hes to t5 nk he can escape the shearer The exasperatilg thing is that all good advice is thrown away 1n persons who once make up their minds to become rich by wits they do lot possess North American.
