THE USE OF ELECTRIC LINES.
An Innovation in the Construction
of Culverts-Long Island In
provements - Changes on
SOuthern-NOtes.

The contract for the construction of what
will he the largest bridge in Madison Coun-
ty, Illinois. was let yesterday. and a st.
Louis concern captured the plum. The OWL
er is the Mississippi Valley Transit Com
pany, which is building half dozen electric
lines through st. Clair and Madison coun-
ties. and the successful bidder on the work
was the St. Louis Iron and Bridge Com
pany.
The bridge will span the yards of the IL
linUis Central Railroad at Glen Carbon, and
will he several hundred feet long. The ma
ter!al entering into its construction is to he
almost entirely steel. There is much rail-
road business at the point of crossing, and
it was decided by the officials of the electric
line in Il recent meeting ut E;wardsville,
Ill, that grade crossing would he too
dangerous. 50 plans We're prepared for an
overhead bridge. To traverse the yards at
that point will require a huge structure and
the central span of the bridge will he l31
feet in the clear.
The company is introducing an innovation
in the way of cuvert ana trestle construc-
tion. Almost every crossing of a water
conrSe through Madison County is to he
constructed OF solid concrete. The mini;l-
ture bridges will be built in heavy arches of
concrete. no brick or stone entering into

CONSTITUTION IN HAWAII.
Federal Judge Rules That 1t Does
Not Follow the Flag

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Honolulu. Oct. 30 via San Francisco, Nov.
2-United States District Judge Estee has
rendered 4 decision to the effect that the
Constitution does not follow the flag in an
important libel case that has been before
the courts here for some time.
William II. Marshall was sentenced to six
months Imprisonment for criminal libel on
account of publications he made about the
late Chief Justice Judd. He made an appeal
TO the Supreme Court of Hawaii on techni-
cal grounds. alleging that the methods Uur-
sued during his trial were not In accordance
with American procedure.
The lower cour. was sustained. and Mar
shall turned 10 Judge Estee with writ OF
haheas corpus.
Judge Estee held that the laws of Hawaii
allowing conviction Of defendants upon ii
verdict by nine jurors were still in force at
the time of Marshalis trial. which was long
after the passage of the resolution annexing
Hawaii to the Union.

Il wish to emphatically deny rumors that
have been circulated in regard TO the i'm
provements which the Pennsylvania road in
tends to make on Long Island. Most of the
rumors have been erroneous i'll every par
tiCular. We have not finished completing
and formulating our plans, and any state
ment as to what they are Is premature TO
say the least. l wish to deny that the
Pennsylvania road has any intention of car
rying out the Corbiu scheme of having the
transatlantic lines land at Montauk Point
Neither does it intend 10 spend $50 600 600 in
improvements, or any amount approaching
that sum. The improvements which will be
made, as stated by Mr.. Cassatt, will be far
reaching and add considerably to the busi-
