that passenger trains Nos. II and IL

"a HORSES COULDN'T MOVE IT.
Eight Ton Truck With a IS Ton Mono.
18th on it Stuck in The Asphalt.

Washington, D. G., Aug. 5.-Tho
granite monoliths which are to replace
the sandstone pillars on the front OF
the treasury building weigh thirty-fye
tons each. The government contracted
for thirty two OF them. and the drst
instalugnt, six in number, arrived
here lately from Vermont. The larg-
est trucking company in Washington
whose motto is I'VE move anything,
contracted 70 move the monoiths to
the treasury building and constructed a
special truck for the purpose. This
truck weighs eight tons.
Several Of the sandstone pillars on
the treasury building have been re.
moved and the contractors decided to
begin the installation OF the monoliths.
The trucking company was notified TO
deliver the goods. Sixteen horses we're
hitchcd to the monster truck and it
was hauled to the freight yards, but
il left unmistakable evidence of its
transit in the concrete. Fearful of
municipal displeasure it was decided
that it would be best TO wait for cool
day and then transport the forty foot
granite shaft to its destination. The
work on the building reached such a
stage today, however, that the contrac.
tors decided that they could wait no
longer and the truck company was so
advised
1t was pretty hot day and Foreman
Ryan, in charge Of the truck and its
numerous drivers, shook his head du.
biously at sight of the great stone. It
was finally placed on the truck and
firmly anchored, and with shouts and
cries Of negro drivers the truck was
started. 1t had distance Of about one
mile to 90, nearly all Of which was
down grade and part of the stone
pavement had been picked over. At
Fourteenth street aud Pennsylvania
avenue the stone pavement was left
behind and the truck rolled into the
asphalt street and stuck as if it were
in a bog.
Eight more horses were hooked up,
making twenty four in all, but all
their pulling and all the noise and whip
Iashing Of the negro drivers failed to
bulge it. Jacks were brought into
use, but every time the jacks lifted the
truck overturned them and the wheels
settled down an extra inch in the asphalt
The horses might o. well have been tug
ging at the treasury building.
Everybody downtown assembled and
gave advise, but the truck kept sinking
Late in the night the job was given up
for another day and the truck is stuck
hard and fast at Pennsylvania avenue
aud Fourteenth street.

An Old typographical Organization.

Some information which will be Of
interest TO printers Of this generation
is contained In a centennial history OF
the city OF Columbus, o.. says the Ty.
biographical Journal. In his researches
for data concerning the origin and
progress of the various educational. re-
ligious and fraternal societies William
A. Taylor, the author OF the work,
finds that the first typographical union
or society Ia Columbus was "char-
tered" by the Ohio legislature on Feb.
IS. 1884. The declared object was
ITO AFFORD relief to deserving indi-
gent members, their widows and or
phans; TO preserve the honor OF the
profession by the adopting of such
measures as shall to them appear
necessary for the encouragement OF
industry, sobrlety, good order and
morality among its members"
One OF the provisions OF the act in
cooperating the society is rather Pc
euiar, inasmueh as 1t declares typog-
raphy is to be profession. not a
trade" Another clause of the act is
that 1t limits the annual income of the
society to a sum not exceeding $500.

II is interesting to watch a skillful

He was attired in neat tan shoes,
shapely creased trousers, a fashionab Bile

restaurant bright yellow. Such an
unusual spectacle attracted crowd,
most Of whom from time to time made
fiippant and sarcastic remarks. The
painter worked on swiftly and well
and never dropped spot OF paint on

to the crowd, and when the job was

lily wiped his fingers. There were no
