Stop that barl," yelled the mate The
negroes moved out of the way. If they
hadn't moved they would have been
mashed.
Stop that bari. I tell you; what are
you here for?' Then the barrel struck a
rock, jumed into the air about ten feet
and dived into the river By this time
the mate was in an active state of erup-
ton, and started with a club to investi-
gate matters, but the rousters had that
barrel on the boat before he could get to
them.
"A good man never loses his temper;
but man with backbone like a banana
peeling was out of place on the river in
those days.
Zone night Joe heard that some of his
rousters had pistols. He didn't collect the
entire crew and go on a search. He col
lected club, went back into the deck
room where the rousters were, took every
revolver and threw most of them in the
river If he hadn't done that he prob
ably would have been shot before he left
Cairo
Down at little landing in Lower Mis-
souri, rouster was going ashore with a
box of soap on his shoulder. About half
way up the stage his foot slipped and he
and the box went into the river.
60, pick up that box yelled the
mate from the bank. Get a hook and pull
that box out, -
Three or four men got hooks and start
ed to fish the negro out. Let that niger
alone, -, and git the box. The niger
can get himself out and the box can't
They got the box and then pulled the
man out"
Capt BiXby will remain in Kansas City

Gus. BY pulling a cord ne could raise a
head Of cabbage just out of reach of the
mule. The engine would start for it and
begin to walk after it and the boat float
ed majestically on down the river or up,
as the case might be. When Sam wanted
to stop he would pull a rope attached to
the feedbox of the engine.

will say that Jerry was one of the most
intelligent animals ever met. His voice
was more on the order of a fog-horn than
a whistle.-it was too much of baritone
for the latter.
when Sam wanted to whistle for
landing he hit Jerry with a stick. If he
wanted, in the profane language of the
river pilot, to go ahead like h, he gave
Jerry a touch Of the whip.

A strange craft to these waters was
ebodied in a famous old rverman, who
sat in the lobby of the Coates House yes

old days before the war, when he was
captain of many an old craft plying be-
tween st. Louis and New Orleans before
the whistle of locomotive was heard in
Missouri.
He was Capt. Thomas Bxby of New
Orleans, and he still appears the typical
old riverman that he once was. notwith-
standing his three score years and ten.
Capt. BiXby had not been aboard an
upper Mississippi steamboat for ten years
prior to making his present trip. partly
to go over the old scenes and partly to
visit a daughter i'm Iowa.
Six weeks ago he left New Orleans on
board an up-to-date boat bound for St

Brooklyn bridge has the same hight, but
only at the central point
The work of building this bridge is a
work of daring and enterprise, compli-
Gated and full Of the most delicate detail.
1t has brought forth the display OF the
greatest skill in engineering and the per-
lection of mechanical appliances. FROM
the sinking of the stone piers to their
bed of rock, one hundred and fifteen feet
below the water level, to the spinning in
mid-air of the mighty cables, the work
has been performed with unerring preci-
sion and fidelity. The sinking of these
piers was done in a depth of sixty feet
of water and presented a difficulty real
and hazardous
The stretching of the cables from tower
to tower will be an affair of the greatest
labor and niceness. 1t would be hard to
present the deicacy of this operation to
the lay mind. but a conception of 1t may
be given when it is said that these enor-
nous cables will have to be twisted, two
tiny wires at a time. high in mid-air, The
preparations for spinning those cables are
now under way; the four solid steel sad
dies, each weighing thirty-hve tons, over
which the cables will pass, are in place
at the top of the towers, ard all Is be-
ing made ready to sling the first wire.
But before that can he done sort OF

will cost $20O000-wil have to be erected,
and from this the work of constructing
the cables will 80 on.
This foot bridge will consist Of a sus-
pended structure of three spans, one OF
900 feet between the two towers, and
two of nearly 600 feet each between the
towers and granite anchorage. The mid
die span will virtually consist of two mar
row parallel double-deck bridges, sixty
seven feet apart on centers, and connect
ed by cross bridges, 100 feet apart.

towers for this foot bridge is an in

New York April 26.-Unless in the i'm
mediate future some of the magicians Of
science spring a surprise upon the world,
the New East River Bridge, thrown from
Manhattan to Brooklyn, will be the first
great record-breaker of the twentieth cen
tury 1t will. when finished, mark the
climax of achievement in bridge building.
In many respects it will be one of the
most remarkable structures of its kind
3n the world. AS a suspension bridge 1t
will stand unrivaled, and as an engineer
ing feat only one bridge can approach
it. its near neighbor, the Brooklyn bridge.
