THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1897. 8 JACKSON & BELL COMPANY. THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1897. REDUCTION IN OFFICE FORCE Of the Southeastern Freight Association Twenty Five Men Discharged, There has 'been a heavy reduction of the force of the Southeastern -Freight Association. Chairman Parrott "has ut it down from sixty to thirty-five men. No salaries have been reduced except in the cases of five men, who were dropped from the rate or inspec tion departments and given subordi nate places in the statistical depart ment. In those cases they get the sal ary of the position they take. Heretofore the force has been eleven clerks in the inspection department. Only two were retained there. There were fourteen in the rate department. which has six now. The statistical de partment had twenty-five, and now has twenty. The heads of departments and the secretary are all retained. Several oth ers in the main office have been drop ped. - - . i - Chairman EParrott said in speaking of the matter: i "It was the idea of the executive froard to cut the inspection force to a minimum ana reauce an me oiners. The Junior clerks were let out and those most efficient by reason of expe rience and long service have been re tained, A few of these were trans ferred to subordinate positions in other departments. It may be necessary hereafter to increase the force to fifty men, tout if so, these, as far as possible, will be put in positions such as they have held heretofore. There has been nof reduction of salaries. Those who; take subordinate positions get the salaries heretofore paid for that work, but there are only five of these men The average of salaries is really In creased, because the Juniors were let out. The heads of departments are all retained." v In regard to rates, Mr. Parrott said: "There will probably be a meeting of the conference committee on the 11th. I am taking a telegraphic vote on that date, and so far it is acceptable." At lanta Journal. The Patn off Dalliance , Notwithstanding the arduous labors performed in Washington by our na tional legislators of the lower branch of congress, they manage by almost superhuman effort, as It were, to snatch a few moments between efforts to dally 'along the primrose path, so to spealc In other words, they dally with soci ety and the dallying thrives luxuriant ly among those bachelor members who are in the social swim, as some of them arp clear im to their chins. Not long ago one of the most zealous devotees in the entire society contin gent received a nerfdmed missive from some point in the Dupont Circle neigh 'borhood, delivered at his desk in the (house. He dronrved the eierantic affairs of tatf which were, eneraeiner his no less gigantic intellect at the time, read the note, wrote a reply in a hurry, and took it out in the lobby witn ms own fair hands to deliver to the messenger iboy. . . - - - The boy was sharp as old cider, and oo 'tho TnrfsAntative eave him the Dre- document he winked slily, as if he knew the Goddess of Liberty was not in it a minute with the party in xne inorth west who was to sign the ticket when lie got it there. "I want you to deliver this note at the same place you got the one you brought to me," said the representa tive, "and bring the answer here." "Yes, sir," replied .the boy, starting off. - "Hold on," called the representative, "do you have, to take it to the office first or go direct?" "I'll take it right where it's ad dressed." "Very good; and, by the way," con tinued the representative, feeling like having some fun with the boy, "I know what people say about the speed, of messenger 'boys, and while I'm not particular whether you get back be fore next week or not, I hope you will return before congress' adjourns." Then the representative had his little laugh all to himself and the boy looked at him as solemn as the supreme court of the United States in full bench. "Don't you stay wake of nights wprr ryln about me" I said the. messenger, after a second's contemplation of the representative. ''If I was as slow tmovin as congress is about ajournin', I'd iuit the messenger business an' chase myself right into politics. See?" And before the representative had time !to fully comprehend whether he saw or not the boy was scudding down the capitol steps. Washington Star. A Poser. .: The man with a valise and an um brella bought one or two cheap vol umes of fiction, when a more preten tious publication on a counter near he idoor caught his attention. It contain ed a number of elaborate pictures of mythological characters, and lie was glancing rapidly through it when one of the pages attracted his especial at tention. He lingered over it, turned over several leaves and then went back. After he had started away and got to the door the fascination again proved irresistable, and he was soon gazing thoughtfully at the . same page. "Can we do somthmg'more for you?" asked the clerk. "You learn a great deal about what's in these books, don't you?" he asked. "We naturally become familiar with the contents in the course of time," was the answer. "WelV it will probably be exposing my ignorance for md to ask it, but I wish you would tell rflje what it is," and he turned the book around so that the salesman could see. "I never had much chance to -study up on natural history," he added, apologetically. "That, sir, i3 a centaur," was the an swer. . , His curiosity was not yet satisfied. He dropped his head over on his shoul der and looked at the picture with one eye. ' "I suppose," he resumed, "that htis thing wouldn't bother me so much if I hadn't recently gone on the road for a patent medicine firm. That has given me an interest" in anatomy and physi ology and the like that I had never had before. And you know whenever a man has just taken up a subject, It's hard for him to get it off his mind. I don't believe I will ever get over being puz zled about that centaur." "In what way?" "Supposing he got sick?" "Well?" "Whom would they send for; a regular- physician of a vererinary sur geon?" Washington Star. BRIDGES TELESCOPE. How tli "NlagaraSuspensionErldge Is Being Replaced by a Steel Span (From The New York Herald.) The historic suspension railway bridge over the Niagara gorge will be entirely removed by July 1st and a new steel structure, remarkable Jn many of its features, will be in its place. The new bridge is being built around the old, and the change from one to the other yvill be made without interference to traffic. .This new bridge will . con sist of one mightly steel span, 550 feet between springing points the largest arch in all. the world flanked on either side by a trussed span 115 feet in length connecting the same with the cliff on each side of the river. In addition to this there" will be approaches aggre gating 290 feet In length. This mighty structure, to costhalf a million dollars, and to weigh 7,200,000 pounds, is to take the place of the pres ent suspension bridge, which was long considered one of the best in the world. It. was built in 1855 1 by John A. Roeb ling, for the Niagara avails Internation al Bridge-Company, of New York, and the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Company, of Canada. In 1880 the original wooden suspended superstructure was found inadequate, and was substituted by a new steel stiffening trust 820 feet long. Six years later the stone towers on top of the cliffs, supporting the cables, were found to be crumbling, and were re placed by new ones of steel, without in terruption to traffic Both of these changes were made under the direction of L. L. Buck, chief engineer In charge of the new structure for the Pennsyl vania Steel Company, which is doing the work for the two corporations own ing the bridge franchise. Now comes another and greater change. The old bridge, with its sin gle track, is inadequate for the en larged traffic and the Increase in Weight for locomotive engines, and will be .replaced by a new bridge with two railway tracks on its upper deck, and with railway tracks, sidetracks, side walks and trolley tracks beneath. The lower tracks will be used for an elec tric line from' the United States to Canada around the Whirlpool gorge. A strange feature in changing from one bridge to the other is that it "Will be done without interference with the heavy traffic, though the new bridge is being built on the exact site of the old one, which it surrounds, and with which it is interplaced. The new structure gets not one ounce of support from the old, as it extends from the cliffs on either side out into the air in an apparently mysterious manner, and to the eye of the tyro defies grav ity. Its huge pieces of steel, which in some instances exceed thirty tons in weight, are being extended with ap parently only the atmosphere under them. YThen these two sides of the larch meet in the centre of the span and are joined, the old bridge will be blocked up on the new one, the new bridge car rying it in addition to its own, weight and the regular traffic. The latter will then be disconnected piece by piece, and the new floor system placed in po sition as the work progresses. The last work will be to remove the four cables of the suspension bridge, eachweighing 170 tons and having a length of l,60a feet. Then the towers will come dow n, and a landmark long familiar to tourists to Niagara Falls will have disappeared. The contract for the new bridge was let last May. In September 500,000 feet of, lumber was used in - constructing preliminary work on either side of the river, extending from the cliffs to the springing points of the arch. Then, on January 26th, the first piece of riveted steel was placed in its permanent posi tion. The. usual methods of erectingbridges could not be employed on account of the impossibility of constructing tem porary staging across the gorge, nor is the old bridge sufficiently strong to support any portion of the new bridge or of the erection plant. The arch isr therefore, being built out in sections from each bank, cantilever fashion. The bottom of each arm rests on the springing points" of- "skew hacks" of the arch, the tops being an chored by means of heavy chains, com posed of eye "bars, 250 feet back on either bluff, where the chains are curv ed around and down eighteen feet into the solid rock. There they are em bedded in concrete. The pull on each of these anchorages exceeds 2,000,000 pounds, which is equal to the traction, power of 100 freight en gines. ' In order to control the weight of the over-hanging arms, four diamond shaped adjustments are placed in the anchor chains, which are operated by right and left hand screws, revolded by a capstan that requires the united strength of eighteen men to turn. During erection the new bridge is being kept slightly above its final po sition, so that when the last section of the arch is placed in position there will be a. "gap of several inches; - then,' by means of the adjusting screws, the halves of the arch will .be lowered, closing the gap and converting the two cantillver arms into' one single arch. 'At this stage of the work eighty men will be required to move the capstans. The construction of the two decks and removal of the old bridge will fol low, and when July 4 th comes every piece of steel will be in place, the two millions holes punched and drilled will have been failed with bolts and rivets, and . the new bridge will be open for traffic.

Palmer, M, D., ... Atlanta Ga. STATE PRESS. The north has never placed the same construction upon the constitution for itself as for the south, and that has been a fruitful source of trouble be tween the section. The doctrine of se cession was a pest one of New England, giving trouble in the. beginning and lasting down to that period when the sectional legislation by congress forced the south to declare for it. Then the north attempted to repudiate it, and a dreadful, , disastrous conflict ensued, which never settled that question, but established coercion. Gold standard prosperity is an abor tion. Conceived in the interest of or ganized wealth, and against the wel fare of humanity, it was brought forth in the last campaign to fill the screech ing mouths of partisan howlers with the rallying cry of "sound money and prosperity," while it robbed their stom achs 'of needed food and their backs of raiment. And the Dingley tariff -monstrosity is another child of the same parentage, and the trusts who furnished the swadding clothes for the first, and the campaign pap to make ths latter possible, are its godfathers. Brevard News. Nothing could more forcibly illus trate the perfidy of the north and its. policy than that of that now demi-god, Abraham Lincoln, who was nominated as the candidate of a party declaring: "And we denounce the lawless - inva sion by armed force of the soil of any state or territory, no matter under what pretext, as the gravest of crimes." This declaration he reuttered in his in augural address, and yet in less than two months, on April 15th following, called for 75,000 volunteers to go to war with the southern states, which had se ceded. If that was not perfidy, make the most of it. And such h'as ever been the course of northern statecraft. Greenville Weekly. Senator McCarthy, of Craven, was in Raleigh last 'Friday and said: "The peo ple in the eastern part of the state, certainly so far as my section is ,con cerned, are not with Governor Russell on the North Carolina railroad lease matter." By.the way, does anybody re call anything that the people are with Governor Russell on? He is a bull in a china shop.1 He has set the members of his own party by the ears and has alienated ' from himself nearly every republican of consequence. His record suits nobody, and while he has brought the republicans nothing but disap pointment, he has justified the" worst that the democrats said of him dur ing the campaign. One such adminis tration as he is giving the state will likely be enough to last the people a life time. Statesville Landmark. We see an item in The Charlotte Ob server that in Davidson county men are selling clothes lines for $1 that can be bought at any hardware store for 8 cents. It is astonishing how people ap parently love to be swindled. Notwith standing the newspapers give warning after warning in just such matters as this, people go right on allowin'g them selves to be taken in by every stranger that comes along with something to offer. The above is but one among hundreds, yea thousands, of like inci dents that occur all over the coun try.

Bright and Jack Phillips, well known young men, are dead from the effects of a spree upon which they en tered Saturday night.
