avoid injuring themselves by running iuto
the fence. The board n Is fastened 10 the
top OF the post by means Of wire nails driven
in and through SAID board ON each side OF the
corner Of the post and through holes Z, drilled
in the top Of the post near esch corner, the
ends OF the rails being bent TO hold the board
against the corner OF the post.
The purpose of making the post triangular
in cross section is 10 ecouomire the amount
OF metal necessary to form the post, as we'll
as at the same time make the post Of a sub

equal 10 a square post having the same width

half the weight OF such square post
The pest being made OF solid metal it may
ae readily understood that it affords no har.

coat Of paint or tar its life may be prolonged
indefinitely. By having the clips or bSrbs
for fastening the wires integral with the post
Il may be seen that the expense OF providing
staples or other means for fastening the wires
IL dispensed with and that the only tool re-
qu!red ia fastening the wires 10 the post isa

between Austria and Servia that the
folk who have taken up their residence
on certain little island IN the Danube
pay no taxes and acknowledge allegl-
very appropriately been called No
bc.ly's Island, was formed many years
ago by the accumulation of mud and
sand carried down by the great river
during flood. Since then Austria and
Servia have been Quarreling about it's
possession.
At low water the island is almost
connected with the Servian shore by a
narrow tongue of sand, while at high
water it lies nearer the Austrian island
of Osztrovaer. Consequently. no one
can decide to whom it really belongs;
and, as the island is not worth enough
to make it advisable for the Servian
or the Austrian government to fight
over its possession. the inhabitants are
left entirely to themselves.
San Marino. queer little Italian re-
public situated among the eastern
spurs of the Apennines. is somewhat
larger than any of the aforementioned
states. This republic has an area OF
thirty-three square miles and popu.
lation of nearly 5000 people. San Ma
rino is governed by grand council
OF sixty life members, self-selected, Of
whom one-third are mobiles. From this
number are selected the council of
twelve, who superintend agriculture,
and, with the assistance of the foreign
lawyers, form the supreme court of the
state. A standing army of $50 men is
maintained. whose chief employment,
however, is that of acting as police
men.

While Animal Was Poised on
Hind Legs Hindin Snatches
Child Away

The life Of little Eyl Kannenburg was
probably saved by the heroism Of A. Hin
din q barber who drogged her from be-
meath the feet Of a horse which was posed
on his hind legs.
The little tor was paying on the edge Of
the pavement in front Of her house, No.
10i West Second street yesterday after
noon when the bah with which she was
playing rolled in the gutter. She was try
ing to get it when the horse attached to n
carriage driven by a man, came rapidly
down the street. Seeing the tot he pulled
the horse off its feet and while it was
posed IN the air Hind'n, who conducts a
barber shop next door. dashed out and
gathered the little one In his arms and
jumped aside just as th, horse came down.
The Child was struck IN some manner
by the horse and its face was covered with
blood when a. was carried I'm the house.
II was not seriously injured, however.
The noble act was Witnessed by a score
OF people, who held their breath, expect
ing TO see the rescuer and rescued tram
pied beneath the feet Of the horse. THE

TO MOVE BIC BRIDGE
IN A FEW MINUTES
Pennsylvania Railroad Will
Change Location Of Sus-
pension Quickly

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
preparing to move their bridge which
spans the Brandywine 10 make room for
the elevated structure. Ii proposes to ac-
complish the moving without loss Of time
to trains.
AS there is q train passing that point
almost every five minutes during the day
and night the undertaking is a big one.
1t is the intention of the engineers 10
place the bridge several feet ito the east
Of it's present location and the moving will
be no easy task, as the bridge is an iron
one and weighs several hundred tons. 1t
Is a draw-bridge. The approaches to the
draw will have TO be constructed first and
walks laid to connect the main hines with
the new position. During one Of the long
est intervals between trains the moving
will be accomplished. A stone pier for
the tracks which turn the bridge will have
to be constructed and altogether the NOV
ing will be a difficult feat to perform
Should the big structure be changed
during the day a big crowd will gather to
see 1t performed.

MANY VALUABLE PAPERS FOUND

Scouts, Under lieutenants Nickerson
and Reese, Drove the Bandits From
Their Fort and Killed Many Of Them.
Americans Lost slain, 10 Wounded
Washington, May 5.-Unoficial re-
ports received at the war department
give additional details Of the campaign
which resulted in the death OF Cen
eral" San Miguel and the utter rout of
his band Of outlaws by the Philippine
scouts commanded by Lieutenants
Nickerson and Reese. The scouts To-
Gated San Miguel's band about half
way between Caloocan and Mariquina,
in a strongly fortified corral and block
house built by spaniards many years
ago. and so we'll concealed by jungle
that IL had escaped discovery. Lieu
tenants Nickerson and Reese and their
men made a gallant attack on this
stronghold under n very heavy fire
from the enemy through loopholes in
the wall surrounding the blockhouse.
The scouts charged over the wall and
engaged the enemy in a hand 60 hand
combat. driving them into the fort. In
this assault Lieutenant Reese was shot
through the thigh just below the groin.
San Miguel. surrounded by a devoted
bodyguard OF about 30 men, undertook
TO slip through the line but being dis
covered. put up plucky running fight.
Lieutenant Nickerson, with 10 men,
attacked San Mlguers party, but with
held their FIRE until within short range
when they pat three bullets through
San Miguel's body San Miguel died
gamely, shooting while lying on the
ground wounded
Six OF his bodyguards were killed
i The remainder escaped in the dense
jungle.
The fight lasted about an hour an'
I one-half. The Americans lost three
killed and ten wounded, including Lleu
tenant Reese. The enemy lost 40 dead
/ that were counted, and the jungle con.
cealed other dead and wounded. Nc
prisoners we're taken. Many valuable
papers were found on the bodies OF the
dead and were said TO contain evidence
against several prominent officials IN
the province.
When San Miguels body was brought
into Caloocan the natives at first re-
fused to believe that San Miguel was
dead but he was later identified by q
scar on the left breast. The presidents
Of the town forced four natives into
service, and these dug a hole in 6
nearby field wherein the body We.
dumped without a coffin.
II has since developed that about q
year ago Governor Taft attempted tc
induce San Miguel to surrender. Prom
inent Filipinos acted as Intermediates
but 10 all overtures San Miguel replieI
that the governments agents were
great rascals and he could not trea
with them.
A reward Of 1000 pesos has beer
paid to the Macabebe scouts who raI
down San Miguel.
