Keeshan of Atlantic City. a little min-
ing town south of Lander. set fire to
and burned to the ground q valuable
house belonging to him in order to
get rid of a tenant who aad failed to
LAY his rent and who had refused To
vacate the premises.
The tenant, Michael Brandon. had
occupied the house for a year or more
but never had paid mis- rent.
keeshan sought on number of Oc
casiOns to eject him from the house.
but he took advantage of legal tech
nicalities and kept possession of II.
Finally keeshan. thoroughly out Of
patience and angry. warned Brandon
that if he did not vacate the house at
once he would set fire to it and burn
1t down over his head.
Brandon paid no heed to the warm
ing. When he awoke in the middle
of the night, however he discovered
that Keeshan had carried out his
threat.
The house was on fire, and the
flames had gained such Roadway when
Brandon was awakened by them that
he barely had time TO escape with his
life. all his household goods and per-
sonal effects being destroyed.

LONGEST STEEL BRIDGE.

New Hell Gate Structure to Be
Three Miles Long.
Another step in the progress of the
Pennsylvania railroads New York tunnel
extension was taken recently when plans
for the East river bridge of the New
York connecting railroad were submitted
to the municipal art commission for its
approval This bridge will form part of
q steel yiaduct more than three miles
long, connecting the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad system in the
Bronx with the Long Island and the
Pennsylvania. 1t will be the longest and
heaviest steel bridge in the world. Eighty
thousand tons of steel will be used in
its construction. 1t will carry four rail-
road tracks Embedded in stone ballast SO
as to render the structure noiseless.
Plans for thesbridge over the waters OF
the Hell gate show a steel arch span Of
1000 feet between abutments. These
abutments are stone towers dividing the
arch bridge proper from the steel viaducts
that form approaches to it. The towers
will rise to height of 200 feet and will
contain rooms needed for railroad opera
ton. The tracks themselves will be 40
feet above the water. -

In one of the old rooms of this aban-

for the plants. The plants needed light,
so he arranged small acety'ene gas lamp
so its rays would fall evenly over the
bed Within short time flowers were
growing rapidly, and in less than half
the time usually required for such vegeta-
tion to bloom. Col. Posey's dream" was
realized and he was giving away flowers
to his friends in midwinter.
An acetylene gas plant large enough
tc supply light for an ordinary dwelling
will be installed in the mine and the
lights so arranged that they will distrib-
ute their rays equally over the ground in

Mrs. Fred Williams, living near
Boar Point, on Crooked Lake,
near this city, was severely IN
jured and her seven year old son was
probably fatally hurt, when dyna
mite cap in the boys hip pocket
exploded while the mother was
spanking him for minor offense.
The boy had been out in the field
where bis father was using dyna-
mite to blow up stumps and had
slipped one of the percussion caps
which Mr.. Williams was using in
his pocket. He later returned to
the house where his mother called
him in to be punished for some
childish offence. Mrs. Williams
nsed single as the instrument of
punishment. The first blow ex-
ploded the cap in the boys pocket
and the explosion tore a large hole
in his nip, from which he is be-
lieved to be dying. The mother
lost two fingers, and received
number of cuts about her face
and body.
