The Merchant Police Foroe Arrested For Stealing the Nets, CRESCENT PLAYING EVEN. -~ Laying of the Catholic Corner Stone To~day—Local Literati Decide Who Are the Twelve Greatest Men Living—Consigney Bears His Defeat Well, The Fishing Question. Judge Aylesworth’s court room was crowded yesterday, the drawing card being the fishery question. There was a large attendance from Crescent; the friends and 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 us attarneys for the or really for the Fish Protective association. The defendants were represented by Mynster & Lindt. The fecling ran quite high, Ligher than it ought. 2 blood was un on both sides. It seems foolish to excite 80 muck bitterness over 8o small an af- fair. It is a grim determination on the part of the assoc nto puta stop to the fishing with seines. On the other hand, there are many farmers who iike to get a chance to buy fish of these fisher- men, the facilities for getting fresh meat not being as good in the country as in the city. The sympathy of the com- munity about Honey Creek lake is natur- ally with the fishormen. It seems to the neighbors as if the city folks were trying to control their affairs, and they ev! dently feel like telling the city sportsme tomind their own business. There has been much indignation over the manner in which the arrest was made. The defendants feel sore, and not without cauge, because the ofticers placed irons on them as if they were ferocious criminals, instead of ‘tre g them as citizens who ‘were only charged with a misdemeanor, and liable only to a fine, even if found ‘guilty. y also feel hot beeause they were brought in irons to this city, and put in jail uutil their friends could come here and give bond: All these irritating circumstances have conspired to make sweet revenge desira: ble. It appears that the officers had no asuthority beyond that which they have as merchants’ police. Being beyond the city limits this did not avail them much. They not only mude the arvest, but they captured the seines and brought them to this city. This cireumstance gave occa- sion _tor the filing of a complaint before Justice Dunkle, 1n Crescent, charging the officers with the larceny of the nets. A constable from there was here y day, He Anderson, Martin and Thomas, who were in attendance as witnesses in the superior court, Justice Dunkle was also here as a witness. The trio of oflicers prepared to file bonds, and thought it would be quite handy for Dunkle to approve the bonds here, 5o as to avoid any necessity of going out to his office in Crescent until the day of trial. While the bonds were being prevared, Dunkle slipped out for home. Then the constable suddenly became anxious to have the merchants’ police force go with him as his prisoners. It was cvident that nothing would satisty the Crescent folks but to have the office put to as much trouble as Brewer and Johnson had suffered. Colonel Daily sought to have Judge Aylesworth prevent the constable from taking the officers away until thoy were through with the case in which they were witnesses. Judge Aylesworth suid he knew of no power which he had to de- tain the men, if there was a warrant for them. An effort was mude to have the bonds of $300 approved b{ Judge Ayles- worth, or some one here, but this was in vain. At last the officers yielded to the demands of the Crescent constable, and were seated in a wagon and started for the country. Some of the Crescent folks insisted on having the officers ironed, deeming this a fair play, as the ofticers had ironed the fishermen. The constable did make a faltering demand to search the two offic before they got into the buggy. The constable nrpronchod them with this rch\lnest, likea blushing school girl, and the ofticers quickly con’P})llio«l y searching their own pockets, ey turned over a revolver and a billy to Marshal Gugnella, and this procedure being luccessmlly gone through with, the constable will be able to square his record with his constituency by telling them that he not onl{ arrested the officers, but searched them like ordi- nary prisoners. Captain Anderson and Martin were the only ones taken out to Crescent. Thomas managed to make himself scarce about the right time to avoid the unpleasant trip. The oflicers took the bond with them, but it was predicted that Dunkle would refuse to approve it, and thus keep the oflicers there until they had played more neurly even on the score of anuoy- ances. ‘Thore is of course no show of findin, the ofticers *ullty of larceny, for it is ad- mitted by all that the neis were not taken with any intent to convert them to their own use. Itis understood that as soon as the officers arrange the bondsin the case they will be next arrested for carrying concealed weapons, It is claimed that while inside the city limits they have the rl‘iht to carry revolyers, et they were only ordinary citizens in >rescent and had no such right. Crescent is evidently bent on making a8 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 d missed ns soon as the state had rested its case. The motion was made to dismiss on the ground that neither the informa- tion nor the testimony, showed that Honey Creek lake was a body of water over which the state had control in this matter. For all the papers of the evi- deuce showed 1t might be owned by the government, or by private parties. This motion was argued at length by the at- torneys, and the game of tulk took most of the afternoon. The motion to dismiss the case was overruled by Judge Aylesworth, and the cases will go on to-morrow 1n his_court. The cases of the ofticers are set also for to-morrow at Crescent. e A Distinguished Dozen, Each member of the Fortnightly club was asked to bring a list of twelve great men now living, men who would live in history. The meeting took place last Monday evening and what follows is the result of the count. Gladstone and Bismarck stood at the head each with 16 votes.

Philadelphia Record: Since a passen- ger train_on the North British railway lll\m:_"ml from the great bridge overthe lirth of Tay into the d; waters below, one stormy December night seven years ago, carrying every ng soul upon it to certain death, there has been no railroad bridge disaster that has excited 5o much public attention as that which rec occurred on the Boston and Prov raiiroad at the Bus: bridge near B ton. In both tu; may also id of the Ashtabula accident, whose horrors, however, were increased by the fierce work of Hlames and the inclemen- cies ot a bitterly cold nigh: Bridge accidents are considered by all railroad men as incomparably the worst to which travel by rail is exposed, and as among the most dillicult to guard against absolutely. One source of danger was shown when the peculiar effects of n lo- comotive’'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 constructed bridge was thus primarily the cause of the accident. This brings up a lesu of railroad nnd bridge accidents which is at present receiving a great deal of attention, Crystalization in the ma- terial of iron bridges is an element of danger now so well recognized that the Peunsylvama railroud company has adopted the definite policy of sabstitut- 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-five years, and con- stant care is necessur[\; to insure its safety. The Ashtabula bridge was thir- teen years old, and at the time it fell be- neath the weight of two engines and a heavy express train, the theory was com- monly advanced tkat crystallization had impaired its original strength. The two great moving causes of crystallization are vibration and the hammer hlows of the locomotive, which gradually by re- peated impact, turn the tibre of iron or steel into a mass of crystals, needing only some 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 and constant renewals. Crystallization was one of aever: theories advanced by Park Beniamin, a New York engineer, to account for the Tay bridge accident. He said: *“General indications go to show that the cause must be sought in an abnormal condition of the structure, or rather one which dia 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 crystulline state under repeated vibration. That this occurs in railway bridges has been vigorously disputed by many well known engineers. On the other hand, many ex- amples are quoted by different authorities to support the theory. Appropos to this articular accident, a distinguished ‘rench engineer and iron founder now in this country informs us that he has known bars of iron made by himself from Scotch pig to change from a tough ibrous to a brittle crystalline structure in traveling by rail only from the north of France to Paris. I'his is, of course, an extreme instance. “‘Aguin, recent research has demon- strated that because a structure with- stands a large quiescent load that fact 18 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 Lrux\k down at the million and first, and yet the lust shock may be lighter than the preceding ones. Attempts, however, to reduce this law to practical applic: tion bave elicited an abundance of ' con- flicting evidence; but, nevertheless, it is well settled that in no department of mechanics 18 an extended course of act- ual experimenting more urgently needed or for graver public importance, The strength of the I'ay bridge at the time of its building was such that it was ced “perhaps the most remarka- ture in the world.’* Engineering, magazine, speaking of its test, when tive engines, weighing 360 were placed on a single span, sai The result is the complete establishment of this faot (so important to the rubhc), that the bridge is strong out of all proportion to its possible necessities. carry is six times grea which It was subjected.

WINDLERS OF FIFTY YKARS AGO They Were Worse Than the Confl- dence Men of To-Day—Their Bold Methods, New York Mail and Express: ““I doubt if the confidence man of the prescnt day could hold his own against the sharper of fifty years ago," said an old New Yorker to a reporter. ‘‘In those days, the oppor- tunities for open swindling were greater than now, and the methods en:})lov‘-(l were far more tricky. Who would think of comparing the modern bunco-steerer to the sleek and suave mock auctioneer, for example? He was the pest 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 his store at the corner of Wuu had all and Pearl streets. Ared flag such as auctioneers display could always be seen flying over the entrance of ms place of business. Several well-dressed men promenaded the sidewalk in front, await- g the first chance to ‘‘run in” an un- sophisticated passer-by. When this had been accomplished, they would not enter with thefr victim and commence bidding against him, until the articles for sale had been run up to afair price. The cus- tomer was generally swindled by substi- tuting goods of an inferior quality for those actually displayed for sale. The sawdust man subsequently used the same method in perpetrating his cheats I re- member an incident which happened there which will show how shrewd these men were. A merchant came from Vir- glnia to lay in a supply of dry goods. He chanced to wander past this mock auctioneer’s establishment and was in- duced to enter, 1In his note-book he had marked down every article he desired. As he was referring to it one of the sharpers attached to the place looked, over his shoulder and took down & copy of the list. Other attaches of the place were diurmhud to neigh- boring stores to purchase the required articles, while the gentlemanly fellow who had furnished them with the list kept the victim engaged 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 more as- tonished to ftind the prices so cheap. Be- fore he left the place he had purchased everything he wished aud ordered them to the store of his New York agents, Messrs. Mygatt & Conkling, Here the oods were unpacked, and it was found that the veriest trash had.been substi- tuted for the erticles:displayed at the auction sale. Through' Me. Conkling's efforts some of the money was afterwards recovered. “‘Another famous mock aactioneer had an estublishment at the corner of Pine and Pearl streets. A gentleman entered his store one day and purchased a watch for $100. Afterward he showed it to Mr. Samuel Brown, of Samuel Brown & Co., remarking that he had made a great bargain. ~ Mr. Brown in- formed 5.« gentleman that'he had been swindled, and that if he would go with him the lollowinq Monday, (it being Sat- urday) to the place where he made the purchage_he would try to recover the money. It was agreed. On Bunday, as the gentleman was in the reading room of the hotel where he was stopping, an elderly man approached him and en- fimln conversation. The merchant ncidentally spoke of the watch he had urchased, nm-rkin‘f that he feared that Ee had been swindled, ‘et me look at it,’ said the other. The watch was produced and examined, whereupon the elderman said: “'If you think that watch is not worth $100 you can sell it to me for tnat price.” The barguin was clinched and the merchant pocketed the money.

A general conversa- tion followed, during which the stranger spoke of a wonderful safe he was about to have patented. ‘‘Here,” he continued, ‘is the model." ‘‘He took from his pocket a small iron safe, which he opened with a spring. A small roll of paver fell out. Apparently he had not noticed the occurrence, for he turned around and bet his comrade $100 ““l“ there was a roll of paper in the safe. *“*Bet him! urged the merchant as he pointed slyly to the roll of paper on the ground.
