Americaa Fridge nuilding.

All existing railroad spans of over 500 feet have been built since 1870, and probably more in America than in all the rest of the world together; and certainly these are much better and cheaper, and have been more rapidly and safely constructed, than those of any other country. In q word, American engineers have built most Of the greatest and most diffl- cult bridges in the world, and in less than half century, largely within the last quarter century, have devel. oped the art of bridge building to u perfection that no other sort of cou struction has reached in hundreds of years. They have brought it to prae- tical limits that cannot be greatly extended until some radically new material is provided that is notably stronger, cheaper, or lighter than steel. This is the triumph of the pro- fession of bridge engineering.-C tury.

Gather Brennan Tells of Work on
 Board Training Ship Hartford.
 New Haven, July 3.-Father Ed ward J. Brennan Is home for q few days after his first trip as chaplain of the United States apprentice ship Hartford" Father Brenndn, who ar rived in New Haven yesterday and is visiting his mother, Mrs Margaret Brennan, of No Shelter street re- ports a splendid trip in southern wa ters, and is very enthusiastic over his post. The .'Hartford" left Newport on the Sd of February and visited Bar bados; Port of Spain, Trinidad; Santa Cruz, St Thomas and Porto Rico and then visited the ports Tn the southern states where the "Hartford' did mem- orable service during the Civil war. This was the first time the ship had visited these ports since 1865. Father Brennan says there are over 300 ap- prentices on the ship, but only two New Haven boys, Fred Barrows and young Sullivan are among the number. The chaplain's duties are many on train ing ship of this kind, as the boys are all young and many are away for the first time. Father Brennan returns to the ''Hartford'' on Saturday, joining her at Marblehead. After some exten. sive repairs the vessel will start for an extended cruise in Mediterranean wa terS

A Phenomenal Dive.

Prof. Oscar Browning, of Cambridge, tells this anecdote of the prince con- sort at Eton school, in which he took great interest: "The prince used to bathe frequently at the masters bath ing-place, and he found there, on one occasion, two of the staff whom he knew to be accomplished divers. Hav- ing a passion for statistics, which he had derived from Prof. Quetelet Ut Brussels, he asked%low long they could remain under water, and desired to witness specimen of their ability. Tn the midle of the stream was . small island, covered by a willow tree. One of the bathers, afterward q most dis tinguished bishop, jumped in and swan under water to this island, coming up under the branches of the tree. After resting few minutes, he entered the water again, and arrived painting at the steps. The prince was gazing at his watch, and acknowledged that this was longer dive than he had ever heard or read of.--Century.

FOUGHT THE GUARDS.
Convict Then Stole Gasolene Launch
 and Escaped Up the Sound.


 Seattle, Wash, July 3.-Advices re-. celved from Olympia state that Tracy, one of the two convicts who escaped from Portland, Ore, prison, after fierce battle with the guards has stolen a gasolene launch at South Bay and started up the Sound. The launch is the largest of the kind OH Puget Sound and has 300 gallons of gasolene, or enough for a 1000 mile run. Be- fore starting Tracy said he intended firing a few shots at the penitentiary on McNeil Island. He said that he had murdered Merrill. his companion, but the statement is not believed. He gave as the reason, that Merrill was growing faint hearted. 1t is believed, however. that the latter is in the lvi- cinity of his sisters home at Shelton. Tracy, according to the advices, ap- peared at the plant of the Capital City Oyster company at South Bay and en- tered the house of Horatio filling, one of the employees. With filling were Will Satridge, Frank Scott and John Lessenger. employees of the company, besides Captain Clark of the launch IN. and s." and his son. Tracy stood these men in row with their faces to the wall, while he prepared and ate breakfast. He then ordered Captain Clark to get the engine of the launch in order and start 1t for him. The captain was then put ashore and Tracy started on his trip down the Sound

CELEBRATED DEER CASE.
Grand Jurors of Cheshire Refuse to
 Sign the Warrant.

1Iallu uEorS OI IHeSulre heluSS lo
 Sign the Warrant.
 A new complication has arisen in the famous deer shooting affair in Cheshire which is claiming much at tention throughout the state. A day or two ago the case fell through owing to the fact that the grand Juror who had signed the warrant for the arrest of Gilbert Williams, the slayer Of the deer, was no grand juror. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Rametti on notification from the state game commissioners, went to New Haven and received d warrant from the prosecuting attorney for the arrest of Messrs Williams ana Lohr. He returned to this city With the warrant and with instructions to have it signed by one of the grand jurors of Cheshire. There are only two qualified grand jurors in Cheshire Frank A. Ives and Alonzo A. Smith, who is judge of the probate court in that town. Both grand jurors refused positively to sign the warrant. They think that the shooting of the deer was done accidentally and therefore y The whole town of Cheshire Is stirred up by the affair. Nearly all the resi- dents are in sympathy with Messrs Williams and Lohr and are incensed with the movement to punish them. Deputy Sheriff Rametti returned to town without having the warrant signed and reported the result of his trip to Game Warden Wybald Wood bridge, through whom he received his instructions from the game commits sioners. The latter will send instruc- tions today or tomorrow to Sheriff Rametti as to what shall be done i'll the matter. Deputy Sheriff Rametti says that it Is the most stubborn case the game commissioners have ever, had to deal with. "The case will be pushed and the men will be pun ished," he said. Everybody in Cheshire is working against the com missioners. I'll have to take Do A with me on the next trip to clean out the town"

State Entomologist Issues instructions
as to How to Combat With the
WheatFPest. III.

State Entomqfogist F. l. Washburn
is sending out letters to farmers as to
the best methods of discriminating and
preventing the increase OF the, Hessfan
fly. 70 ssago ss.t
This wheat pest, MFR. washburn
says, is alarming1y pm the increase in
the state. It's presence may be de-
tected, either. beforet or after cutting.
in the stalks The FLAX Seed which
will later turn into the fly, is not ex-
actly in the stalk, but very closely ap-
piled to it within the sheaf of the leaf.
These must be destroyed by the farm
er as soon after cutting as possible If
he does not want his wheat to suffer
next year. n ls
The methods, for preventing this and
accomplishing the destruction of the
egg of the fly are burning the stub
Bile when possible; blowing the stubble
in such a way that. the straw is COM
pletely turned under; burning all
screenings and litter about the thresh-
ing machine, except the straw.
Since the fly lays its eggs in the
same locality where it energies from
the flax seed" the state entomologist
recommends thatsit is best not to plant
wheat on the same ground two years
in succession. This Is still done in
some places and is a practice which
should be stopped Rotation of crops
should be the rule everywhere"

peaceful. In the morning a number Of
men drove into town to enlist In the
army, Maj. Galbraith being present
to receive recruits. During the day
several were sworn into the service,
and the draft was so successful that tt
was decided to continue on to Milford
in quest of more recruits.
Accordingly on Monday morning a
party of fifteen, accompanied by
band of music, took their departure for
the Henle house, six miles from the
city, and noted inn of the region.
When the distance had been nearly
covered they came upon the body of
Joseph Messner lying by the roadside.
The man had received fatal wounds,
but to make their deadly work more
certain the SavageS had cut off an arm
and ear. He was subsequently taken to
New Ulm, where he died in twelve
hours. AS MesSner was still alive the
party concluded that the crime had
been committed but few moments
previous, and was the work of drunken
Indians. Proceeding upon an irnmedi-
ate pursuit, they resumed their journey
towards HenIe's. A few rods ahead
a bridge crossed a small ravine, and
beyond was a densely wooded thicket.
Hardly had the first wagon gained the
further side Of the bridge when Indians
ambushed in the thfcket opened fire.
John Schrieder and A. Diedrich, who
rode in the first wagon, were killed at
the first discharge. OF the occupants
of the second wagon julius Fenscke
was instantly killed. Resistance to the
concealed Indians was out of the ques-
ton, as the party was unarmed, and

These Indians were exceedingly wild
and untamabfe, very little progress
having been made in their civilization.
They depended in a great measure up
on the immense herd Of Buffalo, which
roarned the Western plains, and only
came to the agencies when>expeeting
/ their payments, the annuities being
distributed through the agents. When
they did come and their money and
provisions were not ready for them,
which, it must be admitted, was very
frequently the case, they were often
forced to incur debts with the traders.
| a fact which certainly did not tend to
promote the best of feeling between
themselves and the whites.
In 1852 the payment was due in July,
the previous winter had been a hard
one, and the Indians were in desperate
straits, as a result the bands appeared
early at the agency and demanded
their money, only to be told by Maj.
Galbraith, the agent, that it would be
paid, but he could not tell them when.
In the course Of time some 5000 were
gathered about the post, and their want
was so great that several died of star
walton, and many SubsiSted upon roots.
All were fearful that they would be
deprived of their money, and in order
to protect themselves from the usury
of the traders, a number, of the younger
braves bSnded themselves together in a
secret society called the Soldiers
Lodge"
About this time, also, foolish whites
spread the report that the national
government was weak and lettering
upon the verge of destruction. The
Indians were very well aware that
many men were being sent to the
Southern batt1efields, and when Maj.
Galbraith, in his desire to contribute
to the volunteer force raised a COM
pany of half breeds on the reservation,
they very naturally reasoned that the
government was close pressed when it
could not conquer its enemies without
their assistance.
These Incidents, coupled with the be-
lief of the Indians that they were the
physical superiors of the whites, were
not without effect upon the savages,
and messengers were soon hurrying
from tribe to tribe planning the posi-
bility and result of such a revolt.
The first act of violence was commit
ted on the 4th of August, 1862, when
$50 Indians, belonging almost entirely
to the Soldiers Lodge" broke into the
warehouse at the agency, and tearing
down the United States flag, took over
100 sacks of flour before any resistance
was offered. This lawless act was not
punished in the slightest, and it had
the effect of making the warriors bold
and daring.
The First Bloody Work.
The first real blow of the uprising
fell on Sunday, Aug. II, when num-
Der of settlers near Acton were unmer-
cifully slaughtered, and Immediately
the whole nation rose in revolt, and
simultaneous attacks were made on
widely scattered points, showing that
the uprising had been most carefully
planned. The following day an at
tack was made upon the agency and
1t was pillaged, Capt. Marsh and his
