New Bridge Across the Niagara.

1t is announced that the Grand Trunk
railroad will practically rebuild the famous
international bridge across the Niagara at
Black Rock. above Buffalo, n. Y, on ac-
count of the great increase of traffic. The
old superstructure will be entirely remov-
ed. The international bridge was erected
in 1870 and was regarded as a great feat
of engineering The bridge consists of two
distinct and independent structures. One
of these is across the Niagara river proper,
the other is that across Black Rock harbor.
The bridge across the river consists of
eight spans and has total length of 1867
feet. The length of the bridge across
Black Rock harbor is SIT feet The draw
span of this bridge has clear opening of
l07 feet. This renewal work is to be car
, red out in order to bring this bridge fully
up to the requirements of modern rolling
stock and moving loads which are consider
ably more than double what they were in
1870, when the erection of the existing
structure was begun. 1t is expected that
the work will be completed during the COM
ing wear.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Carnegie's Answer.

steel King Says Enormous Valuation
Was Made in. Jest az a Iunch,on.--
Asks that FrIck's Bill In Equity Re
Dismissed.
Andrew Carnegie and 20 of his partners
in the Carnegie Steel company have filed a
joint answer to H. G. Tricks bill in equity
by which Prick sues for SIC, 23S, 900, which
he claims to be his interest, and for which
Carnegie had offered 81, 100000.
Instead of $3.50, 900, 900 or $500, 900, 600,
which Prick says Mr.. Carnegie had claim
ed the business was worth it is declared in
the answer that the total assets of the as
ISOLATION are only $75,610, 104.06. Carne-
gle admits that he had put high value on
the property, but says it was in Jest at a
luncheon with his partners
The answer sets forth the history of Mr..
Tricks membership in the association. His
interest was acquired in the same manner
as other young partners. He was not re-
quired to pay for same, provision being
made for payment out of the future profits.
Mr.. Tricks interest was acquired about
Jan. IA, 1887, under the "runclad agree
ment," and amounted to 500, 600 of the
capital stock. In May, 1899, an option
was given to Mr.. Frick to acquire on Jan.
/, 1894, an additional interest of three per
cent. This option was abrcgated with Mr..
Tricks consent, but as compensation he
was credited in his account with the asso-
citation with $l3S. 146, representing the
book value of the interest covered by his
option from the time it was given until alb
rogated. Subsequently he acquired an ad-
ditional one per cent, and then eight per
cent.
In February, 1885, Mr.. Frick was the
owner of II per cent of the capital upon
which he owed Andrew Carnegie 81 500
1911, balance of purchase price. 1t being
then period of business depression, Mr..
Prick expressed a desire to reduce his
holdings, requesting Mr.. Carnegie to pur-
chase at the book value five per cent of the
II per cent held by him. Mr. Carnegie
paid Prick the then book value which was
greatly in excess of the prices paid for it
by Mr.. Frick. After this transfer Mr.
Frick only held six per cent of the whole and
the balance due on that percentage from
Mr. Frick, for the purchase price was paid
to Carnegie, the payment consisting of
Sl29, 900 in bonds of the H. G. Prick Coke
company, at par, and $191.S9 in cash.
This is all Mr.. Prick has paid for his in
terests in the Carnegie Steel company.
With the credits from his stock earnings,
the amount paid was only $780, 900 all
told, for an interest worth So, 900, OOO He
now refuses to accept book valuation for
the balance of his holdings
1t is averred that Tricks resignation as
chairman was asked for in order to pre-
serve harmony. Carnegie Informed him
that he had better resign so as to avoid
having to go because of a refusal to re-
elect him, and all the acting members of
the board had signed round robin" re-
questing him to resign. The defendants
ask that the bill be dismissed with costs
placed upon the plaintiff.

ling Importance. We often feel quite in
dignant to see how these great fat offspring
impose on their patient and oveOworked
mothers, futtering their wings in utmost
helplessness, opening their yellow mouths
and screaming with hunger; but let the
motherhood turn her back a moment and
the trembling infant pulls himself together
and promptly helps himself to crumbs with
great celebrity.
Under the pines, beside little lake, we
take our summer rest, and here we make
some rare discoveries in the way of birds
ana nests tnat turn common uneventful
days into red letter ones for us. In the
morning chorus we hear many new and un-
familiar voices, and among orr backyard
nelghbors we note our old friend, the
chicSadee, juncos red breasted nuthatches
white eyed vireos with their wonderfully
varied song, the chewink, oven birds, and
many warblers the most common being
the black-throated green, a friendly little
bird The past summer brought to us a
long coveted discovery in the way Of the
oven birds nest, though at times the woods
seemed full of its pier:ing cry, Teacher,
Iedcher, TEACHER " They are very shy
in regard to their nests, and it was purely
an accident that we found this, beside a
much-used path, apparently only a slight
mound of earth. Beneath this little bunch
was the daintiest aud most wonderfully
constructed little nest
Here were numerous thrushes and occa-
sionally a wood thrush would visit our yard
IN search of food The common thrush. or
robin, was here in full chorus, and much
amusement did we find in watching pair
who built in pine Just above our front
piazza After the nest was built with their
usual mad haste, and the mother bird set
tied down to hatch her eggs she seemed TO
regard us with untiring interest. We have
sometimes even caught her standing up in
the nest and peeriug over the edge with
unblushing curiosity. These robins seemed
20 have an endless source of trouble from a
red squirrel who had evidently been in the
habit of going "cross lots" through the
very pine where was their nest, and when
ever poor Reddy attempted to follow his
old path there was strife With the most
piercing sore ans and gatherings the robins
would dart at him with every feather on
end, the very picture of fury, and chase
and scold at him until he escaped with wor-
rled looks | never could discover that he
intended any mischief 1t seemed only the
old quarrel over right of way"
Realizing the enjoyment that has come
TO us in watching our back yard neighbors,
we note with pleasure the steadily ncreas-
ing interest in nature studies, especially of
the birds. And after few months given
to the observation of these tiny friends we
think many will say with US
Never was my hfes neglected garden
Half 70 full Of fragrance as today "

According to private letters from Paris,
small pox is epidemic in the French capital
and the writers advise those Americans
who contemplate trip there this summer
to be first vaccinated The advice ought
to be taken, as with such an enormous
number of people entering into and going
out of the country, quarantine regulations
may be broken down by the sheer force of
numbers unless extraordinary precautions
are taken to guarantee against such a CON
tingency and small pox, unless stamped out
previously, may spread to other countries

Murdered In His Barn.
WestfO q Farmer Found Dead In His
Stable Win Two Bullet wounds i'm His

Aleck Devino, a young farmer living
near Westford Centre, was found murder
ed in his barn Monday night The body
horribly bruised, was lying under one of the
horses, where it had evidently been thrown
by the murderer. In the lower part of the
back was wound made by a bullet from
a 80 calibre revolver, and another bullet
had passed through the lungs. The body
was discovered by Mr.. Devino's l2-years-
old son.
Suspicion conferred upon Curtis Pooer,
who had been living with a neighbor of
Mr.. Devino. Pooler vas at the Devino
house on the night of the tragedy and had
followed Mr.. Deviuo to the barn when he
went to care for the horses He left the
barn soon after the shooting occurred and
went to Westford Centre. where he mott
fed the officers that Devino had been kick
ed by horse, telling them that he was on
his way to summon a physician. Pooier was
last seen near the depot at Georgia Sher-
if Reeves of Burlington has offered re-
ward of $500 for Pooler's arrest and deten-
ton. The motive for the murder is mys-
terry as Devino had no money on his person
and his watch was not disturbed.
