been made.
Mr.. Philbin added THAI his engineer should not
alone devote his attention to the breaks that
have already been made. but to the entire struct-
ure from one shore to the other. The expert will
accordingly make the minutest examination Of
all the susPender work, truss work and the road
ways.
From information obtained at the District At

desire on the part Cf the engineers of the bridge

Mr.. LIE Barber afterward admitted that the
broken parts might constitute most important
evidence in case the matter brought before
the grand jury.
Mr.. Philbin has received a report from Com
missioner Murphy in regard to the investira-
tion, in which he says the District Attorney will
have the fullest cooperation of the Police De
partment. 1t Is said that the District Attornev
is of the opinion that The overcrowding OF the
bridge is due in measure to Commissioners
Shea, as he is In control and has general super
vision over the bridge.
1t was the drift of opinion yesterday in the
District Attorneys office that Mr.. Shea might

Letter to Jos. Fisher
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; our grand father, if he was
a blacksmith, made 'em. You can't
afford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good, or better
perhaps, readymade to your hand, for
little more than the cost of the iron.
What do you think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and
white lead, and tinting and mixing by
hand, and charging his time for work
that is far better done than he can do
it, done by machinery, done as your
horseshoes and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in the world
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint;
and no better work than putting them
on. Good horseshoes we'll put on: It's
the putting 'em on that makes you q
blacksmith: no matter who makes 'em.
Who wants to go back to old times,
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to make good paint-he used
to; but paint has run away from him.
Yours truly,
IL f. w. DEvoE g. Co.
