der to cross from. one shore to the
other
The essential part Of the system may
be described as a horizontal railway
supported by bridge spanning the
channel and built up at such height
as will allow the tallest masted vessels
frequenting the channel to pass be-
meath.
The platform Of the bridge carries
two lines Of rails, over which a car
riage on small wheels rolls, the num-
Of wheels varying with the weight to
be carried.
The rollers are connected with
movable frame under the line Of rails,
which may freely move in Longitude
nal direction quite close to the plat
form and from one end to the other of
same. Thus is provided rudimentary
vehicle which can cross the channel
without interfering in any way with
the opening, which is to remain clear
In order to obviate any swinging
motion which might result from the
pressure of the wind or the forward
motion Of the carrier itself. the rods by
which the latter is suspended are ar
ranged in triangles, both in the longitu-
dlnal and transversal directions. There
is thus little railway for crossing the
river, with this difference, that the
body Of the vehicle, instead Of being
above the rails and wheels as usual, is
some 140 or 100 feet below these.

A MURDER MYSTERY
Occupies the Attention of the En-
tire Police Force of Washington.
Signed the Scale


WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Ayres
murder mystery is claiming the atten-
ton of almost the entire detective
corps of this city. One of the detecti-
ives asserted to-day that the mystery
would be cleared up tonight or to-
morrow.
A second witness to the descent of a
woman on the fire escape Immediately
after the shots were fired was found to-
day in Willie Wolfe, a 14-year-old boy
who lives opposite the hotel. He says
he heard the three pistol shots and i'm
mediately went to the window whence
he saw woman clad in a dark skirt
enter the escape from the window of
young Ayres' room and after descend
ing to the second story disappeared
through the parlor window. The story
corroborates that of Mr.. Baker, who
yesterday claimed to have seen a wo-
man descend the fire escape shortly at
ter the shots were heard. The woman,
who is described as of small stature
and with dark hair, descended slowly
and evidently was afraid of falling. By
passing through the parlor she might
easily have gained access to the hall
and there unnoticed to any part of the
building The appearance of the body
has suggested the possibility OF des-
perate struggle and also that another
man may have taken part in it. The
coroner is fully satisfied that the
wounds were not self-inflicted.

Special to the Register.
CADIZ, o., May 16.-Aaron T. FL
lott, a highly respected farmer of this
county, returned last evening to dis
cover that his wife and a farm hand
20 years old. who had been working
for and boarding with the Elliott fam
lily, were no longer there. When Eli
OFT found his wife had deserted him and
their two little boys, he set out to find
the couple, but could not locate them.
Word comes from Flushing that
Frank Shannon, the hired boy, brought
Mrs. Elliott to his mothers home in
that town today. Shannon then drove
into Belmont county, and has not been
heard of since.
Mrs Elliott is a veSy handsome wo-
man of about So, and has always borne
a good name.
1t is rumored she had cause to leave
her husband, but this is not generally
believed, as Mr. Elliott is man above
reproach. The family Lived near Short
Greek, six miles cyst OF Cadiz.

upon trying to fulfill the social obliga-
tions which fell upon her. The tax upon
her strength was too great and after leav-
ing Los Angeles it became apparent to
both DR.. Rixey and the President that
Mrs. Mckinley was very sick woman.
At Surf. small station near Santa Cruz,
the train was stopped for almost half an
hour to permit DR.. Rixey to lance the
felon again in order to relieve her from
the keen pain she was suffering By the
time Del Monte was reached she was in
almost a complete state of collapse. dys-
EMERY did not yield to treatment and DR..
Rixey and the President became genuine
ly alarmed 1t was at first proposed that
a physician should be summoned from
San Francisco for consultation and that
Mrs. Mckinley should remain quietly at
the hotel at Del Monte in the hope that
a few days absolute rest and quiet would
restore her to her normal condition, but
after conference on the subject with Mr..
Scott 1t was decided that it would be wiser
to bring her to his house, where every
comfort could be provided, where trained
nurses could be procured and where the
best physicians in San Francisco could be
called in consultation If necessary. Since
her arrival here Mrs. Mckinley has taken
no solid food whatever and the doctors
have not been able to completely check
the dysentery. Except by reputation, the
President knew nothing of DR.. Hirschfel-
der, whom Mr.. Scott advised should be
called in as consulting physician, and this
worried him considerably. After Mrs.
Mckinley had been here only "a hours
without noticeable Improvement, the
President asked Mr.. Scott what his opin-
ion of DR.. Hirschfelder was.
He is brutally frank" replied Mr..
Scott
Il shall have a talk with him. said the
President.
He took DR., Hirschfelder into an adj
joining room and they were together for
some time. Afterward the President re-
marked to Mr.. Scott that the opinion he
had expressed of DIR. Hirschfelders frank
ness agreed with his own From that
conversation with Dr. Hirschfelder dated
the Presidents first genuine alarm over
the termination of his wife's Illness

but it went wide of its mark. The
crowd was very noisy and there was
much confusion.
The car finally moved forward into
the next block and another stone was
hurled at it. There was sharp COM
mand and as the car slowed down four
shots were fired from it. Leroy Smith
lounged on the steps of his store; VIM.
Walsh, his business neighbor from
across the street, was his immediate
companion, and a small crowd hung
about near them.
It was into this crowd that the
guardsmen fired at a range of less than
twenty feet. Smith and Walsh were
both shot in the abdomen and fell
where they stood.
A third man. VIM. Rooney, was
slightly hurt by glancing bullet
Some of the guards stepped from the
car and reloaded their pieces
The startled crowd fell back at the
first shot and a moment later the guards
sprang aboard the car and were rap
idly whirled from the scene
Smith and Walsh were hurried away
to hospitals for surgical care and an
angry mob swarmed into the street to
curse and denounce the guardsmen.
Smith is member of the shoe manu-
featuring firm of Smith & Herrick, and
a citizen of wealth, responsibility and
prominence He is member OF the
Albany Club and a whist expert of ma
tional reputation. He is fifty years OF
age and has family Walsh is the
head Of plumbing house and we'll
known in business circles. Neither
man had any part other than as spec
tators in the demonstration that pro-
voked the shooting.

run to North Albany and back without
trouble, and when they reached Quail

be administered, but she responded to
the powerful heart stimulants that were
given to her, and during the day i'm
proved to such an extent that hope of
her recovery, slight though it was, re-
vived.
But her life hangs by thread
She has taken no solid food since she
reached here on Saturday and the ply
sicians do not believe she could survive
another sinking spell such as she ex-
perienced this morning.
She suffers little, and bears up brave
ly. During her periods of conscious
ness to-day her mind has been clear
The President is constantly at her
bedside, and although worn by his long
vigil, is standing the awful strain with
remarkable fortitude.
Every banquet and public function,
planned in his honor here, has been
abandoned, and the city with heavy
heart is watching Mrs. McKinleys bat
tie for life.
If the end should come, the President
and his party will be ready to start
back with the remains within twenty
four hours. The train which brought
them here will be used on the return
trip and all arrangements have been
made to go back by the shortest route,
the Central and Union Pacific to Chi
cago and thence via the Pennsylvania
to Washington.
If Mrs. Mckinley shall improve it is
not believed that she will be able to
travel before week from the coming
Monday
All the members of the cabinet, with
the possible exception of Secretary
Long, will remain here to the end. His
daughter is very I'll at Colorado Springs
and he is very apprehensive that he
may be called there at any time.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-Mrs. Nc
Kinley's present illness began shortly af-
ter she left FL Paso. She stood the trip
remarkably well up to that time with the
exception of a slight period of depression
during the stay at New Orleans. That,
however, soon passed away and she felt
unusually we'll throughout the trip across
the State of Texas until FL Paso was
reached. AT that place the bone felon
made its first appearance and proved very
trying upon her nerves, as well as giving
her much pain. The heat and dust of the
long desert stretch through New Mexico
and Arizona was severe strain upon her
strength
Before Los Angeles was reached the
felon had been lanced once by DIR. Rixey.
At the latter place her illness was still
further complicated by a severe attack of
bowel trouble and she had very bad
night at the residence of Gen. Harrison
Gray Otis. But she bore up bravely and
insisted, rather against the advice of the
President and other members of the party
