p%etitioning the city Council to recon
slider the manner of assessing, as they,
the citizens, think it very unjust in

tim being Mrs. Lettie Payne, wife Of
]. W. Payne, Of Eighth street, The

There is some talk of a number of
the Laughlin mill miners being laid
off for some time. There are about
fifty miners employed, and at least
twenty of them will be laid off. If
this report is true the prospects for
the resumption Of the tin plant are not
very bright at the present at any rate.
In fact it has been rumored about that
the tin house, which has been working
the past few days, is only working up
some old stock and will close again as
soon as the work is finished.

The Breaking OF an Ice Jam Caused tho
Fall or q Big Structure in Cleveland.

The Breaking of an Ice Jam Caused tho
Fall OF a Big Structure in Cleveland.
Cleveland, Ohio, January ia
costly steel bridge crossing K~ingsbury
run and the tracks OF the Nickel Plate
Railroad atWilson ven was wrecked
this forenoon by a flood caused by the
bursting of an ice dam a mile or more
above the structure. The great flood
of water liberated came rushing down
the rayine to the culvert under the
bridge. There a dam formed and the
water backed up until many acres of
the surrounding fields were covered.
When the culvert was opened the tor
rent ruched through with so much force
that the foundations of the bridge
piers were undermined one after an
other. Four of the piers were carried
away in the morning and at about 10
o'clock a fifth pier went, carrying down
with it a sixty foot span of the bridge.
Two other shorter spans were bent and
twisted out of shape.
AS a result of the accident Wilson
avenue, one of the great cross town
thoroughfares, will be blocked for some
time to all but pedestrians. 1t will
cost, it is estimated, about $25,00O to
repair the damage.

WORRIED IN AMERICA.
Spanish Spies Who Won Honors by Their
Work During the War.

London, January 19.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
among those recently rewarded for mil
itary services during the Hispano-
American war are five Spanish officers
who volunteered, without asking a re-
ward, TO go to the L. S. before the war
was declared and to supply information
to the Spanish government. They
formed a commission under Lieut.. Col.
Don. Luis Serrano.
They visited continually New York
City, Washington, Jacksonville, Key
West, Tampa. and other points, chang
ing their posts every few days. They
had many narrow escapes from destruc-
ton, notably on one occasion when one
of them met face TO face a New York
World correspondent whom he had
known in Havana. The journalist
ch~ivalrously feigned ignorance. In ad-
dition to the secret service, thecommis-
sion brought and SEN to Cuba a con-
siderable amount OF ammunition. The
largest consignment was ready to leave
when peace was signed.

The waters are almost invariably

The Chinese peasant wears n turban,
loose coat and short and very baggy
trousers, all of blue. The Chinese sol
der wears the same, with an overall
sleeveless smock, or long walsteoat,
buttonlng on the right shoulder, edged
down the neck, arms and skirt and
down the front with broad "faclngs."
The breast and back are decorated with
n one-foot bulls-eye with characters
on IT. This Is all the character the
Chinese soldier possesses. The bulls
eve would be n very convenient mark
for any enemy II the soldier would give
him n chance Of shooting him, but the
bull s-eye Is only worn to raise false
hopes, for no sooner does he arrive
dangerously near the enemy than he
doffs the garb of war to disappear as
an innocent civilian. He Is usually
armed with n muzzle-loader or stand
ard, both equally harmless weapons.
In the case of Gen. Liu's escort the
uniform smocks had evidently not been
used as nlghtshlrts for more than few
weeks, the men were armed with Win
| chesters and few Martins, rusty, dir
| ~ and out of order, and wore about
their middles a belt of some sixty
rounds of sollddrawn brass cartridges.
