work will begin on it shortly. It is expected that it will be quickly per formed, as the bridge will be built at Berlin and assembled at the site.
 Disposal of the old affair involved some detail. The old covered bridge was anchored by means of steel stay rods about an inch and .one-eighth in diameter, these passing through tri- angular shaped iron plates. Oxy-ace- tylene gas was used to cut the bars away. The little flame did the work as easily as a warm knife would sink through butteH Some of the bars were very badly corroded and would not have lasted much longer. The division engineer located customer for the old lumber, who conducts a boat yard in East Hartford. / As the bridge was taken apart the lumber was dropped into the river and pre- vented from floating away by a boom stretched across the river. The va rious pieces were bound together in the form of a raft and when all as- sehbled. towedAdown to the Connecti- cut river. The trip down to the yard at East Hartford was comparatively short.

ASSIGNMENT OF GENERAL N. 'AOKI
 ARoUSES PRESS
Chinese Sarcastically Com ment on Selection of New
 Military Adviser.

Picking, Oct. 13-China's appoint ment of Major-General Nobuzumi Aoki as first class military advisor to the Chinese government has pro- voked much comment in the Chinese press, and came as a great surprise to foreigners living in China, Major General Aoki will receive Salary of two thousand dollars Mexican per month, together with an allowance for travelling expenses.
 Commenting sarcastica1ly upon the appointment, the Peking Daily News says: "We heartily thank our Japan csc neighbor for lending the services of so valuable a general of the Jap anese army to China for the reorga- -nization~of the Chinese army. The next step is the purchase of at least half of the arms and ammunition re- quired by the Chinese army from Ja- pan, or the establishment of a Sino- Japanese arsenal in this country un- der Japanese control as demanded by Japan last year, but refused by the late President Yuan Shi-Kai even un- der the threat of an ultimatum deliv- cred at Picking on May 2, 1915."

THIRTEEN CANDIDATES
 FOR FRENCH ACADEMY

Paris, Oct. 13-There are up to date thirteen avowed candidates for the seven vacant seats in the French Academy that are to be filled, after hostilities end. They are Louis Bar thou, former premier and minister of justice, deputy for the department of the Basses-Pyrenees;, Paul Adam. the author and critic; Abel Hermant, Pres ident of the Literary Society; Georges de Porto-Riche, the dramatist; Henri Bordeaux author of Literary Pill grimages'', etc., Monsieur Pathe of cinematograph fame; Frederic du Plessis of the Sorbonne; Andre Maurel author of "The. Recollections of A Husband" and two other works crown ed by the Academy. Camille, Le Senne president of the Dramatic Critics As fsociation; Vigne d'Octon, Count Pierre de Naurrois, Ad Poizat and Adrien Bertrand.
 Leon Bourgeois, Minister of State and former premier, who failed of election in 1914 in competition against Alfred Campus, the new df- rector of the Figaro, has not an- nounced his candidacy but is likely to be urged-to do so by his friends. If so it will be his third campaign for a seat among the 'TmmortaIs" The only other cabinet possibility is Aristide Briand, consistently talked of; the difficulty will be to persuade him to declare his candidacy, as it will be with General Joffre, who, in the sup position that all will go well until the time comes, is universally accord ed the pre-emiIent right to the dis tinction.

TWENTY YEARS AGO
~NOW CARRIES BRICKS.

The schooner Eveline Ross, an old North River packet belonging in Hav- erstraw, N. r., now lies at Wheeler &. Howes' dock, unloading brick. The Ross is known to boatmen the world over, for she is an ancient vessel, and has a history particularly her own. She was built many years ago, and in 1849, a party of men imbued with the gold/ fever, bought her., fitted her out and sailed her around the Cape Horn to California, where they beached her on the sands of the Sacramento river.
 There she laid for three years, all her crew dying either natural deaths, or at the hands of the Indians. Fi7 nally- some prospectors having tired, or become disgusted with their efforts to obtain fortunes detef1nined to re- turn to their helSes in the East, and patched her up in such manner that they were able. to make the trip. Af- ter many exciting adventures, equal in many ways to any they had expert! enced in their search for gold they arrived at New York.
 .. In 1853, Capt. Caleb Tompkins. af- ter whom Tompkins' Cove, l.. l., re- ceived its name bought the vessel. He fitted her up again and she has since been run in the brick trade out of verplanck Point. L. l.. Haverstraw, N. J., and Groton, N. Y.
 Many of the great Sound pilots, captains and mates of to-day have been at one time or another mem- bers of tfe7crew of the Ross.

SENTIMENT FOR
 WILSON ' STRONG
 IN EMPIRE STATE
Farmers of New York Fav- oring President For Re-
 turn to Office.

New York will be in the Democrat ic column on Election Day if the Dem ocrats keep up a persistent and wig orous campaign, according to former Lieutenant Governor Thomas F. Con- way. who, called at Democratic Ma -tional Headquarters today to see Chairman Mccormick.
 ~"There is strong sentiment for President Wilson's reelection among the farmers of New York;" Mr. Con- way said, because he has kept this country out of the war and at the same time has kept the nation in a most prosperous conditions. I am no rainbow chaser, but I believe that if the Democrats keep up a persistent and vigorous campaign until Election Day Woodrow Wilson will carry the State. The Republicans know of the strong sentiment for the President, and in the hope of overcoming it are planning to keep MT. Hughes in this State most of the week before elec- tion."

'WINDSoR'S DEATH

Told Covered Bridge to Be ] Replaced With Modern
 Steel Structure.

Windsor, Oct 13.-Windsor is go- ing to look a great deal different to automobilists in the near future. That long feared death trap which caused many hearts to accelerate, and some almost to quit beating altogether, will Nhold forth no more terrorsl It has be- come thing of past history. Every one is glad this is so. Windsor cen ter atj the present time looks a great deal different from the way it did in the past The old road leading under the culvert. called the death trap, is now a deep hole,Q The highway de- partment is doing some tupneling. There is a great deal of it to be done before the work is completed.
 Many will recall the old grade cPoss- ing at the point where the highway fdepartment is now excavating under the railroad tracks. When the sub ject of elimination was first discuss ed, the plans of the highway depart fment were substantially those now be- ling followed, calling for a dip under the raised railroad tracks. At that time, however, the railroad company did not feel it could stand the expense and the rightangle turn called the
 
 turn now in process of elimination: r It is interesting to note that the original grade crossing road is to be followed in the work of reconstruc- ton. Division Engineer Robert w.

 The old covered bridge over the Pennington river, built in 1854. a type in vogue half century ago, is gone. Bridge builders from the Ber- lin Construction company have been at work for several days past tear ing down the old structure. Imme- diately Division Engineer Stevens gave the word the crew set to work and shortly thereafter there remained only the flooring and very little of that. These bridge men make no false move. Every motion counts. It would ap- pear that an efficiency engineer has charge of them. so we'll do they per- form. New concrete abutments have been put in for the steel bridge. and

ASKS MAYOR TO
HELP PREPARE
BIGPAGEANT

A big pageant representing the Bat
tie of lao is planned for the Maui
County Fair at Waikiki next Novem-
Der by the entertainment committee
of the Chamber of Commerce and
James n. K. Keola, chairman, has
written to Mayor John C. Lane for
suggestions and ideas as to the best
method of putting on such big under
taking, as the mayor has had consid-
cradle experience along those lines.
Keola writes that they will need
spears, ahuula, mahiole and other par
aphernalia for properly putting on the
act and inquiries where. they may be
obtained. He also wants to know
where he can borrow Kuhailimoku.
It was at the battle Of lao that Ka-
mehameha, king of Hawaii, defeated
the forces Of Kalanikupule, son Of Ka-
hekili, king of Maui and Oahu, and so
fierce and bloody was the battle and
so many warriors we're slain that the
Ioa valley was damned up and the
waters Of the river ran blood, so that
ever after the river was known as
Waikiki, water Of the slain. AS re-
suit OF the battle Kamehameha con-
quered the island of Maui, which open
ed the way for the capture Of Oahu.
