CRESCENT PLAYING EVEN. _ _ _ _ _ Laying oftlio Catholic Corner Stone To-ilny Ijocat literati Decide Who Arc the Twelve Greatest Men lilvlnir ConslRney Bears Ills Defeat Well. The Klshlnjr Question. Judge Aylesworth's court room wa ? crowded yesterday , the drawing card being the fishery question. Thcto was a large attendance from Crescent ; the friends aud neighbors of the two ar rested fishermen , Brewer and Johnson , being out in full force. Colonel Daily , the county attorney , and Mr. Ware , ap peared as attorneys for the state , or really for the Fish Protective association. The defendants were represented by Mynstcr & Lindt. The feeling ran quite high , higher than it ought. The blood was up on both sides. It seems foolish to excite so much bitterness over so small an af fair. It is a grim determination on the part of the association to put a stop to the fishing with seines. On the other hand , there are many farmers who like to got a clianco to buy lish of these Fisher men , the facilities for getting fresh meat not being as good in tlie country as in the city. The sympathy of the com munity about Honey Creek lake is natur ally with the fishermen. It seems to the neighbors ns if thu city folks were trying to control their affairs , and they evP dently feel like telling the city sportsmen to mind their own business. There has been much indignation over the manner in which the arrest was made. The defendants feel sore , and not without caiifc , because the otlicers placed irons on them as if they were ferocious criminals , instead of treating them as citizens who 'were only charged with a misdemeanor , and liable only to a line , even if found guilty. They also feel hot because they were brought in irons to this city , and put in jail until their friends could come hero and give bonds. All thcso irritating circumstances have conspired to make sweet revenge desira ble. It appears that the officers had no authority beyond that which they have as merchants' police. Being boyniul the city limits this did not avail them much. They not only made the arrest , but they captured the seines and brought them to this city. Thjs circumstance cave occa sion for the tiling of a complaint before Justice Dunkle , in Crescent , charging the otlicers with the larceny of the nets. A constable from there was hero ycstor- ay. Ho served the warrants on Captain \nderson , Martin and Thomas , who were n attendance as witnesses in the superior ourt. Justice Duukle was also hero as witness. The trio of ollicors prepared 0 file bonds , and thought it would bo uito handy for Dunkle to approve the ends hero , so as to avoid any necessity f going out to his otlicp in Crescent ntil the day of trial. While the bonds vere being prepared , Dunkle slipped outer or home. Then the constable suddenly ocame anxious to have the merchants' force go with him us Ins prisoners. 1 was evident that nothing would satisfy lie Crescent folks but to have the otlicors ut to us much trouble as Brewer and ohnson had suffered. Colonel Daily Bought to have Judge \ylesworth prevent the constable from axing the officers away until they were lirough with the case in which they were vitncsses. Judge Aylcsworth said ho enow of no power which ho had to do- tin the men , if there was a warrant for liem. An effort was made to have the jonds of (300 approved by Judge Aylcs worth , or some ono here , nut this was in vain. At lost the oflicers yielded to the emands of the Crescent constable , und were seated in a wagon and started for ho country. Some of the Crescent folks asisted on having the o Ulcers ironed , deeming this a fair play , as the otlicors lad ironed the fishermen. The constable lid make a faltering demand to oarch the two ollicers before they got into the buggy. The constable ipproachod them with this request , like a blushing school girl , nnd tne officers [ iiickly complied by searching their own jockets. They turned over a revolver md a billy to Marshal Gugnellu. and this iroceduro being successfully gone hrough with , the constable will bo able o square his record with his constituency > y telling them that he not only arrested no ofliccrs , but searched them like ordi- lary prisoners. Captain Anderson and Martin were the only ones taken out to Crescent. Thomas managed to make himself scarce about ho right time to avoid the unpleasant rip. Thu ollicertt took the bond with hem , but it was predicted that Dunkle would refuse to approve it , and thus keep ho otlicurs there until they had played more nearly even on the score of annoy ances. There is of course no show of Gliding ho ollicers guilty of larceny , for it is ad mitted by all that the nets were not taken vith any intent to convert them to their own use. It is understood that as soon as the oflicers arrange the bonds in the case they will bo next arrested for carrying concealed weapons. It is claimed that while inside the city limits they have the right to carry revolvers , rot they were only ordinary citizens in Jrescent and had no such right. Crescent is evidently bent on making as much trouble for them as possible , and thus far is succeeding well. In the case of the two fishermen the attorneys sought to have the case dis missed us soon as the state had rested its case. The motion was made to dismiss on the ground that neither the. informa- Jon nor the testimony , showed that Honey Creek lake was a body of water over which the state hud control in this matter. For all the papers of the evi dence showed it might bo owned by the government , or by private parties. This notion was argued at length by the at torneys , nnd the game of talk took most of the afternoon. The motion to dismiss the case was overruled by Judge Aylesworth , and the cases will go on to-morrow in his court. The cases of the otliccrs are sot also for to-morrow at Crescent.

Philadelphia Record : Since a passen ger train on the North British railway plunged from the great bridge over the Firth of Tay into the dark waters below , one stormy December night seven years ago , carrying every living soul upon it to certain death , there has Seen no railroad bridge disaster thai has excited so much public attention as that which recently occurred , on the Boston and Providence railroad at the Bussoy bridge near 15oj- ton. In both , the cause appears to have been a structural defect. This may be said of the Ashtabula accident , whoso horrors , however , were increased by the tierce work of flames and the inclemen cies of a bitterly cold nighi. Bridge accidents are considered by all railroad men as incomparably the worst to which travel by rail is exposed , and ns among the most difficult to guard against absolutely. One source of danger was shown when the peculiar effects of n lo- comotivo's hammer blows upon a track were explained. The theory was ad vanced that a girder of the bridge had broken beneath the engine's drivers , whose pounding upon the defectively lonstructed bridge was thus primarily ho cause of the accident. This brings up a phase of railroad and bridge accidents wiiieh is at present receiving a great deal of attention. Crystalization in the ma terial of iron bridges is an clement of lauger now so well recognized that the Pennsylvania railroad company has id opted the definite policy of substitut ing stone for iron bridges , and the same plan is being followed by other railroad companies. The lifetime of an iron bridge is from twenty to twenty-live years , and con stant euro is necessary to insure its safety. The Ashtabula bridge was thir teen years old , and at the time it fell bo- leuth the weight of two engines and a icavy express train , the theory was com monly advanced that crystallization had impaired its original strength. The two great moving causes of crystallization ore vibration und the hammer blows of the locomotive , which gradually by re peated impact , turn the libro of iron or steel into a mass of crystals , needing only homo unusual pressure or blow to cause them to break apart. Add to this the oscillation caused by the passage of trains at a high rate of speed , and it will be seen that an iron bridge is exposed to peculiar perils.which can only be guarded against by rigid inspection aud constant renewals. , Crystallization was one of several theories advanced by Park Benjamin , aNew Now York engineer , to account for the Tay bridge accident. Ho said : "General indications go to show that the cause must be sought in an abnormal condition of the structure , or rather one which did not enter into the calculations of the builders. Such a condition would be the deterioration of the metal by its change from a fibrous to a crystalline state under repeated vibration. That this occurs in railway bridges has been vigorously disputed by rnunv well known engineers. On the other hand , many ex amples are quoted by different authorities to support the theory. Appropos 19 this particular accident , a distinguished French engineer and iron founder now in this country informs us that ho has known bars of iron mudo by himself from Scotch pig to change from a tough fibrous to a brittle crystalline structure in traveling by rail only from the north of Franco to Paris. This is , of course , an extreme instance. "Again , recent research has demon strated that because a structure with stands a large quiescent load that fact is little proof of stability under repeated shocks und vibrations. Metals are be lieved to have a 'life. ' A bar. for exam ple , may stand a million vibrations and break down at the million and first , and yet the last shock may bo lighter than the preceding ones. Attempts , however , to reduce this law to practical applica tion have elicited an abundance of con flicting evidence ; but , nevertheless , it is well settled that in no department of mechanics is an extended course of act ual experimenting moro urgently needed or for graver public importance. The strength of the Tay bridge at the time of its building was such that it was pronounced "perhaps the most remarka ble structure in the world. " Engineering , a British magazine , speaking of its test , when live engines , weighing 300 tons , were placed on a single span , said : "Tho result is the complete establishment of this fact ( so important to the public ) , that the bridge is strong out of all proportion to its possible necessities. The load which the structure is calculated , to carry is six times greater than that to which It was subjected.11 And vet this great bridge , which cost $1,750,000 , collapsed within a few months after it was finished , the accident being the only one in all railroad history in which no survivor lived to tell the tale. Tbo theory of crystallzation put for ward at the time ot the Ashtabulu bridge disaster is now accepted as accounting for many railroad accidents , and seems peculiarly applicable to the full of the Buisey bridge. Vibrations and hammer blows would seem to have crystalled some portion of the structure and pre pared it for a fall when at lust the ' life" of a girder had .been exhausted , and il broke beneath the eugiaa'a tbumpiug driving wheel * .

WINDLEUS OF FIFTY VKAUS AGO They Wore Worse 'limn the Confi dence Moti ut' To-Day Their Bold Methods. New York Mail and Express : "I doubt if the confidence man of the present day could hold his own against the sharper of lifty years ago , " eaiil an old Now Yorker to a reporter. "In those days , the oppor tunities for open swindling were greater than now , and the methods employed were fur moro tricky. Who would think of comparing the modern bunco-steerer to the sleek and suave mock auctioneer , for example ? He was the pcbt of the dry goods merchants of olden times. His methods were open enough , but wonder fully successful , nevertheless. One of the most obnoxious of these pests had his store at the corner of Wall and Pearl streets. A red Hag such us auctioneers display could always be seen Hying over the entrance of ins place of business. Several well-dressed men promenaded the sidewalk in front , await ing the first chance to "run in" an un sophisticated passer-by. When this had been accomplished , they would not enter with then- victim and commence bidding against him , until the articles for sale had been run up to a fair price. Tne cus tomer was generally swindled by substi tuting goods of an inferior quality for those actually displayed for sale. Tno sawdust man subsequently used the same method in perpetrating his cheats Ire- member an Incident which happened there which will show how shrewd these men were. A merchant came from Vir ginia to lay in a supply of dry goods. Ho chanced to wander past this mock auctioneer's establishment aud was in duced to enter. In his note-book he had marked down every article he desired. As ho was referring to it one of the sharpers attached to the place looked. over his shoulder and took down a copy of tbo list Oilier attaches of the place were dispatched to neigh boring stores to purchase the required articles , while the gentlemanly fellow who had furnished them with the list kept the victim engagt-d in conversation. Finally the auctioneer mounted the ros trum , and to the surprise of the mer chant , commenced to call off the very articles he required. He was moro as tonished to tlnd the pricus so cheap. Be fore ho left the place ho had purchased everything ho wished aud ordered them to the store of his New York agents , Messrs. Mygatt & Conkling. Hero the goods were unpacked , and U was found that the veriest trash hade been substi tuted for the articles i displayed at the auction sale. Through' Me. Conkling's efforts some of the money was afterwards recovered. i "Another famous inock auctioneer had an establishment at the corner of Tine and J'earl streets A gentleman entered his store ono day and purchased a watch for $100. Afterward he showed it to Air. Samuel Drown , of Samuel Drown & Co. , remarking that ho hud made a great bargain. Mr. Brown in formed tlin gentleman that he hud been swindled , and that if ho would go with him the following Monday , ( it being Sat urday ) to the place where he made the purchase ho would try to recover the money. It was agreed. On Sunday , cs the gentleman was in the reading room of the hotel where ho was stopping , un elderly man approached him and en gaged-in conversation. The merchant Incidentally spoke of the watch ho had purchased , remarking that he feared that he had been .windled , 'Let mo look at it,1 said the other. The watch was produced and examined , whereupon the elderman said : "If you think that watch is not worth f 100 you can sell it to me ( or that price. " The bargain was clinched and the merchant pocketed the money. Not long afterwards a w.alk was proposed 16 n site up town , where at thiil time an extensive view could bo had of Ixing Island sound.

A general conversa tion followed , during which the stranger Kpoko of a wonderful safe he was about to have patented. "Hero , " lie continued , 'is the model. ' "Ho took from his pocket a small iron safe , which ho opened with a spring. A small roll of paper fell out. Apparently ho hud not noticed the occurrence , for he turned around nnd bet his comrade $100 that there was n roll of paper in the safe. " 'Bet him I urged the merchant as ho pointed slyly to the roll of paper on the ground. " 'Very well , 1 will then , ' replied the other. 'I have just $100 in my pocket. ' Then ho began fumbling in his pockets but could find no money. 'Oh ! I remem ber ! I bought a watch from you this morning. Just lend mo that $100 until we roach the hotel. ' The merchant com piled nnd was made stakeholder. When the money had been put up the stranger nonchalantly took the safe from his pock et , touched the spring , and behold ! a roll of paper dropcd into his hand. " 'How did you do it ?
