Bridge WreckinG by Electricity,


An interesting feat was accomplished in
clinton, Ind, recently. when the old
wooden wagon bridge over the Wabash
river at that place was wrecked by cleo
tricity. The bridge was built in 1853 1t
was a frame structure supported on stone
piers 1t consisted of three spans, with a
seventy-foot draw over the navigable chan
mel of the stream. The total length was
735 feet.
With the progress of time the old bridge
became antiquated. and it was decided to
replace it with one of more modern design
and Of durable construction. The county
authorities purchased the approaches, piers
and abutments and entered into contract
for new steel superstructure to be erect
ed on the existing piers and abutments,
which were of ample strength and in good
condition The owner Of the old bridge
agreed to remove the frame structure with
In thirty days. He found, however, that
this was no easy accomplishment. The
thirty days passed, and the old bridge still
stood. The owner succeeded In getting an
extension of a week, but he was at his
wits end. The structure could be blown
up with dynamite, but the explosion would
destroy the piers also. 1t could be set on
fire, but that would crack or injure the
masonry. At this juncture H. N. Mills an
electrician living in Clinton suggested the
use of electricity. He agreed to wreck the
wooden bridge structure without injuring
the piers. The method adopted was SIM
pie, and this is the way it was put into
execution:
Each span of the bridge was composed of
nine chords, each consisting of three tim
bers. Therefore, If these twenty-seven stills
were cut simultaneously the span would
drop between the piers to the river be-
meath. This was what was actually done,
the cutting being accomplished by burning
through the wood by loops Of iron resist
wire ms nv If
an electric current. The timbers were of
yellow poplar and nine inches square. Each
one was burned simultaneously in two
places, about ten feet from the pier at each
end. Thus the mass of timbers dropped
well inside the piers without injuring them.
Examination after the fall of the bridge
| showed that all the sills were burned by
| the wire loops in exactly the same manner
five inches deep from the top and three
| inches deep on the sides. When this depth
was reached the weight of the span frac-
tured the remaining wood. The cut made
by the hot wire was quite sharp and clean.

The green watermelon is usually able to
hold it's own against the small boy. but it
seems that it is unable to compete with
modern science. The scientific watermelon
grower now fattens his melons for market
with just as good results as the man gets
who raises live stock. Your up-to-date
melonist operates on the stem of the melon
and introduces a cotton fuse into 1t. After
the stem heals the fuse is passed through
cork and into a bottle filled with water
which has been sweetened with sugar. 1t
is said that one melon will drink a pint of
sweetened water a day. and that melons
brought up on the bottle weigh In the
neighborhood of 70 pounds and have a
sweetness Of disposition that cannot be
tasted in any unframed melon.

Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-25
FELL BEFORE A NJ

If reports may be credited, the gam
blers of Leadville, Colo, have been
routed, horse. foot and Dragons, by a
woman, who started the crusade against
them single-handed and alone. AS the
a pioneer Of that city, and president Of
the local W. C. T. T., determined to rid
Leadville of the gambling fraternity,
who were doing a cash business of $780,
900 a month. AL the officers of the city,
it is said, from judge to policemen, were
5ositions, and no one dared raise a
voice against it. But h brave Mrs.
Henderson started in to win.
Owing to the strength of the gambling
element, she was compelled to send to
Denver for an attorney to prepare the
of campaign. She adopted a rather novel
procedure. The gambling resorts were
closed, and the owners and proprietors
of the buildings We're placed in contempt
should gambling be resumed. All this
was done in strict compliance of the law,
and the gamblers, from past experience
with the district judge, knew that to be
in contempt of his court was no ~trifing
matter.
After the plucky little lady had thus
taken the initiative the churches and
merchants of the city rallied to her sup
port, in consequence of which a huge pc
tition was signed looking to keeping the
gambling resorts permanently closed
The gamblers, recognizing with whom
they had to deal, and not lingering to bc
struck with a telegraph pole, inauguratei
an exodus, which has left Leadville abou
free of the knights of the green baizc
and short-card sharpers. And all thi!
was done by one determined, courageou
woman.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-25
NO RIOT.

We trust tina neither the Miner nor the
Standard will take offense if the people Of
this community calmly decline to engage
in a civil war over the senatorial contest
at Helena. Every good citizen hopes that
an honest, reputable, independent and
able man may be elected and hat he may
be a Butte man. Beyond these w con-
siderati0ns the people are not interested
and they take no stock in the personal
abuse which is now giving the editorial
columns of the morning dailics q smell
like that of embalmed army beef.
OF course, they will insist that Mr..
Clark retire if the Whitcside charges are
sustained and they will insist that Mr..
Conrad retire il it car be shown that he
is in any degree in sympathy with the
Standards declaration against the fixed
binletallic ratio of 16 to l.. The people Of
Butte want no gJldbug to represent them
in the senate.
1t would create no riot in Butte should
both Clark and Conrad retire in favor of
new men. The first has had the pleasure
of soaring his enemies into all sorts of I'M
dignifed fits and the latter has come
nearer to election than he ever expected.
50 why not try H. L. Frank an honorable,
progressive, capable and successful bust
ness and mining man or ". W. Dixon a
lawyer Of great ability and high charac-
tar9
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-01-25
LET US HAVE PEACE.

The people of Butte do not propose to
snecze every time the Miner or Standard
takes snuff. They are not paying high
and living on sulphur smoke and
bad water simply for the purpose of
quarreling about he personal rivGlries
of two prominent and wealthy citizens.
The people of Butte are here to make a
living for their families, to save none
if they can, to mind their own business,
to cultivate the Christian graces and to
Obey the ten commandments, or at least
several of them. 1t is their opinion that
they have enough troubles of their W
without reading the Anaconda Standard
and the Butte Miner, and that those
newspapers, if possible, should restrict
their circulation to the police force of
the cities in which they are respectively
published. Policemen are paid to regu-
late the COMMUNICATIONS people are
not.
The Inter Mountain is the only news
paper which looks camly on the local po-
litical situation and recognizes the vir-
tues and vices of the opposing forces, en-
couraging the first and r~eprobating the
last. It is the organ of peace and good
will. 1t reflects the views of the business
and industrial classes, and it advises the
morning organs to give the community q
rest. The mud battery is not a weapon
of civilization.
