DHIDG1MJUILD1NG IN AMERICA.
Some Notable Examples of Engineer *
ing Skill in tilts Country.
From the Now York Times.
"If there is anything in which the
Jnitod States can justly claim precedence -
donco over all other countries it is for
, ho simplicity , mechanical construction
aud boldness of design of their bridges. "
[ his remark was made to a Times' ro-
> ortor , and with n good deal of pride , by
Hr. Thomao 0. Clarke , of the Union
Jridjjo company , and one of the veteran
iridgo-buildora of the company. "Tho
irooklyn bridfze , " ho added , "has the
argost span and is considered the largest
> ridge in the world. But wo will soon
> o obliged to yield the palm of having
.ho biggest bridge to another country.
? here is now building over the Firth of
forth , in Scotland , a bridge of two spans ,
> ach of which is as long as the Brooklyn
iridgo. This is the greatest bridge over
caignod anywhere. Wo are up to noth-
ng of the kind in America , and wo
lavon't money enough for it. "
"No , " remarked a listener ; "taking
ho way the estimated cost of average
Bridges increases after construction bo-
; ins , such a bridge as that would swamp
ho wlnlo country. "
"This increased co3t"was Sir. Clarke's
oply , "is usually owing to the fact that
juildora" ideas expand as the work goes
n , and although there is always a growl
bout ittho bridges arogreatly improved.
L notable exception to this rule was
ho building of the cantilever bridge over
ho Niagara , whicli was completed last
year. That was built , under contract ,
omplote , iu eight months the .quickest
lioco of bridge-building on record. The
lantilover principle is aa old as the world.
Vhy , every bracket embraces it ! The
ifllculty in applying it was to put up
taging. That was impossible at Niagara ,
mt with'the solving of the dilliculty by
using what is practically an overhanging
rano , America reached the high-water
nark in the ecienco of bridge-building ,
'ho bridge in cotlandis being construct-
d on the cantilever principle , and is en-
irely of stool. "
"Stool is the coming material for all
ridges , is it not ? "
"Yes , for by and by the price of steel
trill bo low enough to make steel bridges
s common as wooden bridges used to bo.
Vhon I wont Into the business , in 18GC ,
; eel rails wore worth § 1.75 in currency ,
r $1.25 in gold per pound. Now they
ro 32 cents. A great deal of iron is
sod now , but it is giving way to stool ,
s wood is to iron. There are probably
00 miles of iron bridges in the country
ow , and perhaps in the neighborhood of
00 miles of wooden bridges. I am speak-
ng now of railway bridges. The con-
xuction of road bridges ia quito a sopo-
ate and distinct industry. It is the price
E iron that regulates the cost of a bridge ;
10 cost of labor has very little tc do
rith It. All the difficulties of manufac-
uring iron into steel have been over-
ome. Now let mo say n word as a
ridge-builder on the tariff. The immo-
iato effect of a protective tar id' adds the
uty to the cosb of Importing the mato-
al. In the beginning , that gives the
roflts to the manufacturers and a * great
nany go into the business. Then dpwn
,01110 the prices , until the manufacturers
ro losing money. What tlion ? Why ,
10 manufacturers combine , as they have
1 other branches , and pub the price up.
F the tariff is fixed at a reasonable rate
vorything will bo right ; if too high it
nust bo reduced , What wo wont , no
latter what party Is in power , is a rovia-
on and reduction of the tariff. The
uostion of the tariff is , as Daniel Web-
oroaid , the question of the day as
nuch so now as then. In Canada to-day
my are importing steel plates and angles
t2 cents per pound. Hero wo pay a
uty of 2\ cents on angles and 2J oa
lates.
"To come back to bridges , " continued
Ir. Clarke , all , or nearly all , the steel
sod in railway bridges is made hero ,
'ury- little being imported. That now
> ridge at Rondout , on the West Shore ,
' built ton years ago , would have boon
10 subject of a book , Now it is simply
railroad bridge , and not ono traveler in
on even looks at it as he goes over it.
t is very light , yet perfectly secure ,
'hat is a great point whore American
ngineors excel m having lightness com-
> inod with perfect security. It is a say-
ng to the railways , too , for bridges
ro paid for by the pound. Now an or-
or is given for a bridge just as it is for n
ocomotivo It is a more matter of com-
Tiercial manufacture. When I was in
England some years ago I wanted to go
nd BOO the Toy bridge , but the civil on-
ineera said ; ' 0 , that's not much good ;
'a not worth going to see' . I didn't
so the bridgo. But I know its construe ,
on was so palpably erroneous that a
ommon house carpenter could have soon
s unsafe condition. Our American rail ,
'ay history shows nothing the equal of
mt-groat disaster , though the Ashta-
ula horror came near enough , "
"What was the causa of that dlsas-
or""There's
"There's no use in stirring that up
ot it go , I can only say that any practi-
al builder would have pronounced the
ridge unsafe ; the connections were bad-
y made , The bridge was built a good
nany years ago , and bridge construction
as not understood then as it is now. A
ecurronro of such a thing ia well nigh
oesiblo. Tito bridges built in the last
ive or six yoars'nro perfectly safe , unices
; wo trains should meet or a train run off
hsv gu' Belief thins sc.itUn'a aru
extremely improbable. The rallroa
companies allow no iron bridges , improf. .
orly constructed , to remain. There arc
to bo sure or so I have heard n goo
many unsafe bridges , probably hundred
of them , It will lake time for these t
bore placed by iron or stool ones. Th
great danger with wooden bridges is fror
cinders and sparks. These drop on th
wood , char in n little , and weaken th
structure until an unusudly heavy tr l
or tuddon jar caiuos n crasl ) . Therehav
boon hundreds of accidents from th !
causo. So the wooden bridges must go
An iron bridge costs little moro. Th
stool for the great Scotland cantilever , .
may say , is being made right at the spot
works having boon sot up tor that put
pose. "
"How about slono bridges ? " wa
asked of Mr. Clarko.
"Tho best example of n stone bridgo,1
ho replied , "is Iligh Bridge over th
Harlem , in our own city. Wo have thi
and the Brooklyn bridge ; in both wu cai
take just prido. Ono of the romarkabl
wooden bridges of the country is Urn
over the Susquehanna at Havre do Grace
It has twolyn spans and is 3,271 foe
long. The bridge at St. Louis , with throi
spans of 525 foot each , is another triumpl
of American engineering. Then there ii
the bridge over the Schuylkill at Girarc
avenue , Philadelphia , an important am
massive structure , a delight to the eye ol
an engineer , for it furnishes n study o
consequence. "
"How is the bridgo-building iudustn
flourishing ? "
"All tiio important works , I think ,
have plenty of orders on hand. Nobodj
is doing anything very great ; that is ,
there are no phenomenal bridges non
building. There will not bo many rail
way schemes on foot for some years tc
come. It will bo a long time before
another road will attempt to parallel the
Now York Central , West Shore and Erie.
People have got enough of that. Bridge
building is now mainly on the branches
of trunk lines. The trunk lines are run
ning all right now , and they are enlarg
ing and completing their branches. Then
wo'ro replacing a good many wooden
structures. We've always boon ahead of
the world in bridge building , and wo in
tend to stay thoro. "

THU lUlAKILIAN OAJU.
A Dollclons Trnplcnl l Vnlt with l c
rullnr Cltarnctcrlstlcs.
New York Sim ,
"I have often wondered , " remarked "i
gentleman recently returned from Brazil
"why importers of tropical fruit novoi
made an effort to introduce the doliqht
fully cool and refreshing cnju of Brazil ii
this city. The caju grows wild and ii
cultivated in that country. The caji
tree hardly rises to the dignity of a tree ,
but its branches are wido-sproading , ami
its loaves larger than Uioso of the rubboi
tree , of a brilliant green color and oval
shape , and chine as if they were varnish' '
od. The bloom is on the extremities o !
tholbranchos , and ia n small , pale yellow
flower , growing In clusters.
"Ono variety of the garden caju , when
ripe , is as largo as n Bartlett pear and
shaped something llko it. Some varieties
are bright yellow , some deep rod , and
others yellow , with pink-colored cheeks.
The flesh , or pulp , of the caju is more
tempting iu appearance than that of any
fruit 1 over saw , but it is never oaten.
It is for the jitico alone that the caju is
prized. In ttiis it is much more prolific
than the juciost orange. It is the custom
of the Brazilians to suck n caju before
breakfast , but at any hour of the day the
juice ia delightful. It is awoot and
delicious , slightly astringent , and a
wonderful allayor of thirst. The juice
of ono caju ia moro grateful to a thirsty
person than a gpblot of the purest water.
"Tho wild caju , which growa.profusoly
in the forests , is small and acrid , and is
gathered by the natives for wine-making.
The wine made from it resembles in
taste an ordinary claret sweetened with
sugar , and is n popular bovorngo among
the poorer pooplo. A peculiarity of the
caju is its seed , which grows on the outside -
side of , the fruit , and hangs from its
larger extremity. The seed is in size
and appearance like a largo kidney bean.
The kernel is surrounded by a pulpy
covering , which secretes n powerful fluid
acid. Wherever this touches the flrsh a
painful blister will form at once , similar
to that made by dropping particles of a
marlor match on the hand. By roasting
the kernels , however , this troublesome
property of the seed is destroyed. The
roasted kernels of caju need ar as popu
lar in sonio part of Brazil as peanuts are
hero , aud taste very much like tliom. In
roasting the kernels great care is exor
cised iu preventing the amoko that rises
from them from touching any part of the
flesh , for wherever it touches a most
irritatiug'inllammatiou is the immediate
result. If the smoke outers the eyes it
will destroy the sight.
"The caju has almost as many varieti
es as the American pear , and it would
certainly become a popular fruit if intro
duced hero. "

BALTIMOIIK , Md. , Juno 30. Walter
lorroU , residing at 391 West 'Lanvalo
jfroot , has boon very prominent in social
circles 111 this city for sen-oral years.
iVbotit six months ago ho mot a Miss
( Vdu Bowd , a young lady from Virginia ,
who , while visiting friends in this city ,
created quito n f uroro in society by her
3xtraordinary beauty and many accom
plishments. She is only 17 years old , an
lieiross , and undoubtedly the handsom
est woman in the stale. Soon after they
met she was frequently soon in company
with young Terrell , and it was plainly
ipparent that the young man was deeply
3iiamorod with the proud little beauty ,
whoso popularity has boon frequently
raarred by the haughty dignity whicli
narked her intercourse with others.
Seated in young Terrell's himdsomo dog-
; art they were neon two or three times u
ivook in Druid Hill Pnrk , and society of
ate became convinced that the Virginia
; irl had at last fallen a victim
to love's blandishments. Terrell ,
is a matter of fact , hud
proposed , and was placed on probation
> y his inamorata , who would not consent
, o a formal engagement , while admitting
.hat she was not wholly fancy freo.
I'ho cause of this caution on the part of
ho girl it lias since transpired , was a
'oar that Torroll was given to drink ,
Saturday night ho called at the residence
> f Miss Dowd , on MoKlderly street , it
) oing understood that ho should then
ilaco an engagement ring upon her
ingor , and that their relations to each
ither should then bo made known to
heir friends. Young Torroll , it sooins ,
> olng elated with his happiness , drunk
o excess , and when the servant admit-
d him to the parlor of his fiuncoo ho
tttomptcd to embrace bur before the
botman had withdrawn. This affront
vas unpardonablo'to the proud girl , when
n cool and cutting tones requested him
o withdraw. Torroll , after an ex
iting scene * , conmlied , All day
Sunday ho called , but was
nvariably met by the polite formula ,
'Not at home. " Finally at night when
to called the servant delivered the mos-
ago , "Miss Doud will not bo at homo to
ilr. Torrill in the future. " The young
nan , half-craicod with grief , wont homo ,
, nd his parents hoard him walking the
leer of his bedroom all night. Tills inor
ting about 8 o'clock u pistol-shot was
icard in his room , followed by a heavy
all. The parents rushed to the scene ,
foung Terrell was lying iu the middle of
ho floor with a pistol in bis hand nnd u
lulloc through his brain. On his bureau
ras a picture of Miu9 Doud and a letter
ddroBscd to her. The contents
if this note can not bo aacor-
lined. A letter to his parents road as
ollowu.
"My Dear Pa and Ma I bid you nnd
.11 . my friends and enemies good-bye. I
hink 1 have moro of the former than the
alter. I cannot live without my darling ,
iho has discarded me , and God knows I
lon't blame her when I think how I act-
id ia her presence , llvvf I shocked n-y J
proud little darling. I can make no do
fonso. For God's ' sake don't blame her
She is right in this as in everything else
Your loving son , WAMKH. "
Miss Dowd , accompanied by n l.vb
friend of her family , wont at once to ho
lover's bedside on learning the news. Sh
was greatly shocked nnd fainted on enter
lug the house. TorroU's _ doctor says h
cannot live through the night.
Ho Iluu Into Something ,
A Now York Central locomotive stoo
clone to the Main street crossing in Bui
falo , The fireman was busy cloanin ]
some blood and pieces of moat ofT th
cow-catcher. "Don't shudder , " ho said
"nothin1 but beef a fool cow got on th
track back hero by Loonyvillo. Killed i
man once at the same crossing. It'i ar
unlucky spot , 1 guess. Do wo have man ]
such accidents ? Yes , n few. Did yoi
over hoar of old Jerry Drew , lives u ]
near Rochester ? No ? Well , wo had :
scrimniago with him ono day. Ho goti
drunk every time ho goes to town , am
that day ho iraa drunker than over. He
nllus sooinod to got to the track 'boul
time wo got to the road , an' 1'vo sooi
him whip tip his horses and whoop tun
yell nnd try to got there the same miiuiti
wo did many _ n timo. Ho scorned
to delight iu it. Once ho stopped
right on the track , nnd when wo
came up slow with brakes on ho dared
us to como any closer , nnd said ho'd run
over us. Had to whistle and scara his
horses hi order to got him off. The time
1 started out to toll you about , though
Jerry had had too much and was sound
asleep in his wagon. Tim horses wont on
Iho track right in front of us , nnd the
whole- institution was busted nil to pieces.
Wo stopped ns quick ns wo coultl nn1 run
back. Both horses was killed and the
wagon all cut up to kiudlin' wood an'
scrap iron. Over by the fence was old
Jerry. I saw ho wasn't dead right nwny.
The shock had woke him up , an1 ho wits
tryiu * to drink out of the nock of n bottle
tle , the nook being all there was loft of
it. 'What's the matter hero ? ' I shouted
to him. Ho looked up , oponud his eyes
a little , nil' gazed around him. 'I guess
hie , ' ho said , 'I guess I must o' hie run
into sunithiii' ' . "
Fntnl Mlntnlco.
"Yes , sir , I was up to the Chicago con
vention , " replied one drummer iu re-
spouse to the inquiry cf another , as they
both looked around in vain to BOO if there
were any pretty girls on the car ; "had n
royal time , too. Walked about the hotels
and made people think I was n big politi
cian. Tried to make Steve Elkius believe
I was n delegate jrom the south , and
hard up for stuff to pay my hotel bill
with. But ho was too flip for mo
couldn't work him. " "How did ho catch
onto you ? " "Well , I'll ' toll you. Ho
took ino into room 40 , Grand Pacific ,
clear into the little back bedroom. 'Now , '
says ho. 'wo want all the friends wo can
got iu the south. Wo'ro going to have n
glorious foroigu policy , nnd bat lot's
take n drink first , says ho. 'Certainly , '
says I. 'Whitolaw , ' says Steve , 'pass
the bottle. ' They gave mo the bottle ,
but I hesitated , 'What now ? ' says
Elkins. 'A glass , if you please , ' says 1.
'Young man , ' says Stove , us ho took mo
by the collar , 'your iiamo may bo Brown ,
nnd you may bo n dclognto from Georgia ,
but 1 believe you are nu infernal liar.
You'ro the first man from the south 1'vo
icon and I've seen about all of 'em
that asked for a glass to drink whisky out
af. Now you got out of bore. ' "
Telegraph TrlokH.
J. T. Norris , of Springfield , Ohio , the
iotcctlvo , does a trick that probably no
other man iu the country can imitate. Ho
takes a silver coin , usually n dollar , and
places it in his mouth between his tooth.
NVith his tongue ho strikes it ngainst the
tooth , with tlio sound of n telegraphic
instrument , the opening and closing of
the circuit being exactly imitated. Norris
used to bo an operator , and by moans of
the coin can telegraph words so distinct
ly that any telegrapher can easily road
the message. In this manner ho telo-
jraphod 50 words n minuto. A Republican
reporter wrote out n mosssago on n West
ern Union blank and headed it to the do-
toctivu. The two operators in charge at
the Southern took down the words ns fast
is Norris produced them with the coin.
Iho message was rapidly sounded and
written down aud all three copioH coin
cided exactly. Mr. Morris eau stand up
before n telephone and iu this novel man
ner telegraph u message which any operator
rater can read with facility. But the
most wonderful thing is to see him tele
graph with his eyelids. The dots and
Jushes of the telegraphic alphabet ho in *
Jicatos by moro or leos rapid opening and
shutting of the eyelids. In thin manner
! io can converse with nu export without
uttering n sound. [ Sf. Louis llopubll-
