Questing that a certified copy of the

wsrded TO him. At the time of the
accident he was too overcome to think
OF anything else and upon his son
Wilbur's story. he at once decided to
prosecute the case.
The railroad officials have shown a
marked neglect in complying with the
coroners requests for information
asked by the inquest jury. according
to Mr. Fields. and their refusal to an
swer his questions have hindered him
materially in his investigation. he
SAYS:

question, has not fulfilled his promise
to send a statement of the make UP
OF the train, as yet. and the coroner
has received no reply from the master
at Mandan. to whom he wrote for the
same information.
Mr.. Heath is collecting all the evi-
dence concerning the accident that it
is possible to obtain as he wants to
satisfy himself in the matter. He is
advertising in the Milwaukee papers

IN THE MARKET
Securities Held Firm on Ex-
ceedingly Light Trading
Trend Was Upward

New York. Aug. 1.-Conservatism
seems to be the keynote OF the stock
market at the present time. Sureties
held firm ON exceedingly light trading,
the trend during the greater part OF
the session being distinctly upward.
The movement was most prominent In
the specialities, such issues as Beth
lehem Steel common and preferred
being most conspicuous with gains of
rs and SIS respectively.
The protective committee organized
to subserve the interests of American
Tobacco company bonds and preferred
shareholders also issued their plans OF
agreement. In the case of the six per
cent and four per cent bonds, the
i agreements supulate that the commit
tees may buy these bonds, or preferred
or common stocks of the company or
subsidiaries, - may be declared neces-
sary for the protection OF bond hold
ers. In hne, the committees ask for
power to formulate plans of reorgani-
zation.
Advices from the middle west and
other important railway centers are
to the effect that trade revival is look
ed for in the fall.
lne gram movement continues un-
usually heavy, receipts at Chicago last
week being almost 100000 bushels
over the same week last year. That
conditions in New England are in the
way Of betterment may be judged from
the fact that several cotton and rub
Der mills in Rhode Island reopened to-
day after weeks Of idleness.
Apart from some further stiffening
Of rates in the west. monetary condi-
tions are unchanged. One million dol
lars gold was shipped to Canada for
commercial purposes, it was said. Or
ganiaatiou exchanges was decidedly
easier.
The bond market was irregular,
American Tobacco issues showing
market heaviness. Total sales par
value $2,0oo,oo0. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

CURRENT WRECKS A BRIDGE
Twenty.Seven Big Timbers Are Cut
Through In One Day by Aid OF
Electricity.

One OF the most ingenious uses to
which electricity was ever put was In
the wrecking OF bridge over the Wa
bash In Indiana.
This bridge had been purchased by
the county authorities. who intended
to replace II by steel structure erect
ed on the old piers and abutments.
The owner agreed to remove the
bridge In 80 days.
The chief difficulty lay in the short
time agreed upon for the removal OF
the bridge. Several wreckers to whom
the matter was submitted declared
that Il would be impossible within 30
days TO pull down the old bridge with
out injury to the piers.
The structure might be blown up
with dynamite, but the explosion
would also destroy the piers. Were It
fred. the heat would crack and inJure
the masonry Of the bridge. The 80
devs expired. and an extension OF one
week was granted.
The owner was at his wits end,
when he CHANGED upon an electrician

Long islander Sells Piece Of Furniture

The general impression is that the
tone Of bell is largely q matter OF
accident, but this is not 80. A bell
must be tuned the same as piano
or any other musical instrument. Ev'
cry bell has five sounds, which must
blend together in perfect harmony,
and this is accomplished by shaw.
ing down certain parts until the de-
sired harmony is secured. In the
event of shaving too deep the bell is
not injured, but the tuning operation
is prolonged, MS other parts must be
operated on and cut away to corre-
