hin Strike Growinu.

Calcutta-Traffic on the East Indian
railway, 2165 miles long and the sec
ond largest line in India, is rapidly
becoming paralyzed by a strike.
The trouble originated with the en-
gineers who are almost entirely Euro
pean, and in the last few days great
numbers of natives belonging to the
traffic staff joined in the movement.
The most important section of the
road, from Calcutta to Allahabad, is
practically tied up, and already 5000
passengers are stranded.
The strike is especially serious, in
view of the famine conditions, which
are becoming daily more widespread,
necessitating the speedy transporta-
ton of relief supplies.

ENGINEER BLAMED.
President of Company Tells Of Col
lapse of Quebec Bridge.

Philadelphia, Pa-The royal COM
mission named by the Canadian gov
ernment to investigate the causes that
led to the collapse of the Quebec
bridge on Aug. 30, has just made pub
! lie testimony taken here and at the
works of the Phoenix bridge company
at PhoeniXville, which, according TO
President Reeves of the company, puts
the blame for the catastrophe upon
Theodore Cooper of New York, the
consulting engineer,
Mr.. Cooper in his testimony given
before the commission in New York
intimated that the engineers in charge
Of the work at the bridge site were in
competent, and declared that with the
expenditure of 500 and three hours
labor the weakened part of the struc-
ture could have been braced until per
manent repairs were made and the
structure saved.
| David Reeves, president Of the Phoe-
nix bridge company which was erect
ing the bridge, in the testimony made
public by the commission, says;
| Mr.. Cooper states that he could have
saved the bridge, that he now knows
the weakness of the members that
failed and could have Temedied them
at cost of 800, but he does not say
| how, nor did he tell Mr.. Mcclure, in
spector of erection at Quebec, on Aug,
20 when he called on him, nor did he
tell anyone else when the information
might have been acted upon"
Mr.. Reeves then goes on to explain
that Mr.. Cooper had made moditica-
tions in the units of stress. Ordinar-
lily engineers use 10000 to $4,000
pounds to- the square inch as the basis
or unit of stress in determining the
amount of metal to be put into each
member in a bridge, but in the Que
bee bridge Mr.. Cooper increased this
to 24,O00.
He made notifications in the unit
of stress to be employed upon the va
rious members" continued Mr., Reeves
in his testimony, (which increased
them beyond any precedent and by 50
doing he placed the whole design in a
field outside the benefit of experience.
Such high stresses had never before
been used and in using them he acted
without authority. The tall OF the
bridge is to be laid directly to the
changes of stress as made by Mr. Coop

Duel with Burglar.

Closter, N. IA masked and armed
burglar got more than he was looking
for early Wednesday morning when
he entered the home of William E.
Davies of Demarest, and he is no
doubt carrying one or two bullets in
his body as the result Of revolver
duel that followed the discovery Of
his presence in the bedroom OF Van
Davies, a son Of the family. William
E. Davies is a real estate broker with
an office at 81 Wall street Manhat-
tan.
When young Davies was aroused
from his slumber he saw a masked
man going through his vest near the
bed. AS he turned to get his revolver
the burglar flashed a lantern on the
bed and turned on his heel.
Click went Davies revolver, as it
missed fire, and the burglar increased
his pace and was at the bottom Of the
stairs when Davies got his magazine
revolver working. Bravely the burg
lar stood his ground, and returned
shot for shot. One bullet passed
through a finger of the elder Davies,
who was attracted by the shots.
The intruder jumped through par
lor window, which he had left open,
and made his escape, although the
broker and his son followed him until
the bullets had all been fired. At
least one bullet had entered the burg
lars body. Young Davies found that
his gold watch and chain and $50 We're
missing from his vest.
Young Davies said the burglar wore
a black mask and a black slouch hat.
He is no doubt the same man who a
week ago entered the Orr residence in
Closter and after telling Miss Orr not
to many any outcry carried off 5000
worth of jewelry.

Commission Revsrses Rullna

hington-Several months ago
the interstate commerce commission
ruled that limited passenger tickets
should not be extended even in case
of the illness of a passenger holding
such a ticket. Two or three of the
western lines ignored the ruling, hold
ing that it was lawful for them to
extend the time of such tickets in the
event of the illness of the holder or
other serious emergency.
Ty a ruling just issued by the com
mission the original administrative
ruling is superseded. The new rule
provides that carriers may extend
limited passenger tickets in case Of
the illness of the passenger holding
such ticket.
