Stopped Train to Help Girl.

The gallantry of an engineer and
members of a crew of a passenger
train on the Milwaukee railroad re-
suited in the rescue of a blushing
schoolma'am from a curious predica-
ment, according to a dispatch from
Scotland, S. D. The incident occurred
at Kaylor, new town about midway
between Scotland and Trip.
The young woman was hurrying to
catch the early train, and In order to
reach the station platform had to crawl
through barb wire fence. Her skirts
became entangled, and the more she
struggled the tighter grew the clasp
of the fence upon her.
The engineer saw her predicament
and promptly applied the brake, so
some one could go to her rescue. The
rescuers were the conductor and the
members of his crew. and after some
little time they succeeded in separat-
ing the clothing of the young woman
from the sharp barbs on the wire.
Naturally the young woman did not
volunteer to give her name, and the
engineer and others who had gone to
her rescue were too gallant to ask it.

TESTING A BRIDGE.
Severe Strain Placed Upon the New
Rodah Bridge at Cairo.

The Rodah bridge at Cairo is prac-
tically finished as far as the structur-
al work itself is concerned. This
bridge is now undergoing the official
tests. but it will not be publicly opened
to traffic until the terminals of the
structure are finally completed to-
gether with the approaches at one end.
This is a work that will probably take
some time to accomplish. The tests
are of severe character, dead
weights of sand and steel rails being
piled up on each pier in succession,
exerting a pressure of 1000 tons. Sub
sequently live weights of steam rollers
and tramcars loaded with sand and
water carts filled with water are to be
run on the bridge, with total pres
sure of AGO tons on the main Orders.
The tests so far have been, so we
gather, satisfactory in their results.
Nc fault or strain has been revealed
in the material.
