ATLANTIC CITY, Sept, 23.-In the
heaviest nomination vote ever polled
in Atlantic City, the new primary law

lenged voters to the limit held up the
lines and hundreds of citizens failed TO
get in their ballots.
Repeaters were freely used by both
sides and several arrests, chiefly OF
would-be negro voters, were forced.

some whisky being poured down my

that little woman sitting so quiet by

going to the mouth of the tunnel every
little while, as she had been doing

to die, was nearer home than l
thought, and she heard my call. She
got some whisky, and, making the
man hold torch so that she could
find her way back, she plowed through
all that snow and storm until she
found me, and then by main force she
dragged me back to the house. Not
only that, but she went back again
and brought in the other poor fel-
low. What do you think of that for

Full soon the passing days reveal
Unsightly blots again.

No failure faith perceiyes, ...L

Turns up the shabby leaves.

UNDER THE SNOW
TRUE STORY OF NEW YEARS EVE

It was New Years eve on Jack Rails
tons ranch, and the family and guests
were all gathered about the huge open
fireplace in the living-room, drinking
their coffee after a late dinner. The
lights were not lit and the party sat
In the f1lckering light of big fire of
cracking pine logs, which threw out
quaint shadows in every direction.
This party was the usual one that
yearly gathered at Jack Ralston's to
spend the Christmas holidays with
him and his family. AS they sat in
the cheerful warmth and glow Of the
IRE they listened to the fearful storm
that roared outside. A blizzard had
been raging for the past three days;
the wind howled and shrieked through
the mountain peaks, driving the fast
falling snow before it and piling it
up in immense drifts against every
obstruction. It was bitter, biting,
cold wind, too, as it tore through the
valley like a demon seeking whom it
might destroy, doing it's utmost to
completely bury the house from view
In the snow; but, sheltered as it was
by two giant rocks, one on each side.
with the mountain-side at it's back.
the house was safe, in it's snug little
spot, even from the storms greatest
fury. The inclement weather had
kept the men indoors, and they were
grumbling over their enforced idle
ness, and Dragged about the amount of
game they would have bagged had
they only been able to get out.
Say. Jack, it's some time yet be-
fore midnight. Can't you spin us a
yarn?" finally said Bobby Caruthers,
after long pause in the conversation.
"Well, I was just thinking" said
Jack, F." Of just such night as this,
fifteen years ago, when, if it had not
been for the pluck of that little WON
an yonder, would not be here tonight
to see the new year come in," and
he gazed fondly at his wife, who still
looked like young woman as she
sat in the Pickering light, although on
one side sat her son, fair young
giant, and on the other her daughter,

When he makes a New Years resolu-

"Jim doesn't vaclllate like old 'Eph-

choice of home. He was always on
the move.
I'm fact, they used to say that when
Eph moved he tied his chickens legs
together for convenience of transpor-
tation, and in time the chickens got
so used to this that, whenever he en-
tered the henhouse, they would all lie
down on their backs and hold up their

Inc Richmond
& Chesapeake Bay railroad, seeking
entrance to Richmond, Va, found the
track elevation problem facing it un-
der circumstances which called for
extraordinary measures.
1t happened that the right of 'way
OF the railroad entering Richmond ran
close to old wooden buildings which
were of a most inflammable charac-
ter, and for this reason the fear of
nre prevented the consideration of
wood as material for the viaduct
construction. 1t was thought the most
natural material to use under the cir
cumstances. therefore, would be struc.
tural steel, and the first plans for the
work were made for that sort of
structure. The engineer in charge,
however, suggested before work actu-
ally commenced that reinforced con.
crete could be adopted for this as well
as for the more ordinary type of
building, and his suggestion was in
dorsed by the management.
The foundation was therefore laid
OF stiff clay and gravel and footings
built to bear a weight of three tons
square foot to provide for all pos
sible stresses including proposed fu-
ture double tracking. The concrete
was made of one part Portland &C.
ment, two parts granite dust and four
parts crushed granite, to pass through
a three-quarter-inch ring. Throughout
was used steel trussed bar for the
reinforcing.
The spans vary in length from 1s
to 70 feet. the latter distance from
support to support making many build
ers open their eyes in wonder. But,
in completed form, the whole viaduct
Is practically one great monolith, as
truly as If 1t had been carved out Of
st3ne-with the added strength, quite
Il heyond that Of .any stone, inparted by
the steel within it's body
In testing the viaduct before it was
accepted by the railroad a locomotive
and tender and two steel gondola cars
loaded with steel rails and weigh
ing about 100000 pounds each were
run the full length of the structure.
Elections measured for several spans.
After that test was made by break.
ing the train at various points on the
viaduct, and, finally, by running the
engine and cars at a speed Of 35 miles
an hour over the structure. A deflec-
tion of seven-thirty-seconds Of an inch
was the maximum, which proves the
elasticity and reliability of the mate
rial. Trains are now running over
the viaduct.
