talking with a railroad locomotive en- gineer as to which he thought was the stronger bridge. He said he felt safer on his iron horse on the cable bridge, but he believed the cantilever to be the stronger.
 The new suspension wagon bridge is three miles up the river and half a mile below the Falls. It was built after the cantilever bridge, and when completed was the longest bridge in the world without abutments under it Il, 300 feet long. I watched a horse and buggy passing slowly over it on a Sunday morning, with a man and woman in the buggy. could see the structure teeter with the motion of the horse. I did not want any of it.
 I stood upon the platform of the coach, alone, looking down 245 feet and could hear the waters raging b elow, and could see only the madding wh.t foam. The train moved so slow over the bridge and all are so still it seems that everybody were holding their breath, and is suggestive of a funeral marching to the grave.

DAN TELLS OF NIAGARA BRIDGES
Iditarod Pioneer:

Iditarod Pioneer:
 There are two bridges at Niagara City 3 miles down river from the Falls. The suspension bridge was com menced 6l years ago and finished in three years at cost of S400,000. It is 245 feet from the ugly waters below; it's estimated weight is l,200 tons. It is held up by two cables about as large in diameter as one of the largest tele- phone poles in Iditarod city. These cables are wound with tarred rope, and comes from center of bridge over four towers 60 feet high. two at each end of the bridge, and the cables running down against and stayed by some de- vice in the rock beyond the towers. This is a double bridge railroad and wagon-ouilt by Roebling, started in 1852 and completed in 1855. The bridge is 1,268 feet long. When I first saw the bridge it's towers were blocks of stone. I saw the bridge some time afterwards and the stone towers had been taken down and replaced by iron skeleton towers.
 The cantilever railroad bridge, about 15 rods above the suspension bridge, was built about 30 years later-a slen- der-looking skeleton bridge for a train to run over, but said to be very much stronger than the double bridge. The principle of the construction is such that the more heft placed upon it the more solid it is until the weight is so tremendous that the iron bars must crush lengthwise.
 I was looking at the two bridges and

Disorderly Conduct.

Charles T. Croukhite, a private in the

Judge Mullowny today following his
conviction on a. charge of disorderly con-
duct.
According to the evidence of Policeman
j. r. jenkins and number of resi-
dents of Georgia avenue near the Dis
trict line, a strange man has been an
noying them for many nights by PROV
ling around in the yards of their houses
and whistling to attract the attention of
the inmates.
Last night Jenkins left his house
early, walking toward Takoma Park,
then doubled back and entered his house
from the. rear He climbed out of a
cellar window when he heard the whist
ling start, and remained in the shadow
of the house until he saw a man rise
from behind a bush, heard him whistle,
then duck back behind the bush.
On his hands and knees. jenkins crawl
ed within fifty feet of the bush before
the man behind it saw him. Then he
ran to the shadow of tree. with over
hanging branches, and Jenkins arrested
Croukhite there.

verge Of nervous prostration or insan-
