$5 ewe, having thoroughly investigated the Forest HUH disaster on the Boston l'rovi dence sailroad, will publish the Jfollow ing iii regard to it in" this week's issue: "The cause of this' dread ful oatastrojhe has been very obscure in the 1 newspaper accounts, the only certain thing having been that tha bridge was sort of patch work nondescript which Violated several pf the most impoliiant and fundamental requirements of good bridge i are Sow, fortunately, mule 'to shed far mure light on what the precise cause was than has heretofore appeared, or than is at alU likely to appear' from any tother source, even in the official investiguriun, from the fact that we have now iu our btlice what will probably be the most important bit of evidence in that investigation, via: Tbe two original parte which in all human probability were the first to break. These parts art in the possession ot Mr. Henry 8. I'ritobarJ, C. a practical bridge engineer, of Philadelphia, who undertook to critically examine tlB structure on behalf of this journal, and? wllo went about it apparently a little mof systematically than those wboi had preceded biui.

In con, nection with further jinforniaf ion gathered for ua within an hour oty two after the accident occurred by Mr. Frederick Brooks, C. of Belon. These! frasmenta may be laid to be absolutely conclusive aa to the I real difficulty, since it ia impossible thai there should be any more defective parts in the bridge if it waa to stand up af all. Tbe parts which first broke were the two bangers, which carried tbe last or moat easterly pair of floor beams of I the northerly or last bnilt truss the I trass'; which carried all the load.

So far as can be. judged from tha outside) appearances, they sue made of far from good iron to begin with, but in addition to that, they are of very had design and most imperfectly welded. In additiou te that they are both ot them very badly flawed by old and deeply rusted breaks ot the moat strained section, there being two dislinct breaks of this kind to dach specimen. The first hanger baa both breaks across tbe weld, tbe first break be hue complete and the second break an inch and an eight above it all but complete, tbe metal merely hanging together by tbe outside skia. This banger can never have done any work since its original and now I ancient fracture, or it, would hare broken apart long! ago.

The second banger was checked across half of its inside face (covered by the supposed weld) for about half Its depth of effective section, and" this was clearly where the fracture first began. It caused secondary fracture at a second ald break In the book oi the welded end. which cut off a somewhat larger proportion of tbe efleciive strength of the iron. "All this ia clearly shown in the engravings oi the! bridge aud its broken parts, which appear in ibis issue, and the general judgment of engineers will bear aa out in saying that more shamefully bad specimens of bridge design, metal and workmanship can hardly exist. regret to have to express to sweeping a condemnation of tbe work, but tbe facta more than jus tily it, and it is but right that in as occurrence of this kind tha truth should be painted oat and made clear without fear or favor.

It ia appalling to think or the tens af thousands of lives which have literally hung by a thread in passing over this brulgc duriog the past eleven years." A RsUswarWroelt Ua Tax a.

A number of city and county otticials were present in tbe court room, but otherwise the crowd was of only ordinary proportions. The prisoners were in charge of a deputyherilT.

General I. N.Sfiles appeared on behalf of the state and stated that Yarnell and McDonald bad three indictments pending against Ibem which, respectively, charged them with conspiracy to defraud, and declared that one indictment involved complicity in ahe embezzlement of a sum exceeding 100.000, while other indictments were tor smaller amounts. that the three defendants should furbish bail in the sum of $10,000 on each indictment, and that the bail of Connolly and Driscoll be placed at to.000 each. Mr. Forest, on behalf of the prisoners, argued that the alleged otfense waa only to be regarded as a misdemeanor under the statute, and contended, that the amounts asked for were Judge Anthony said that when a charce' of embezzlement was made against a public, officer it was to be regarded as a Iigli grade of crime and could not be treated lightly.

He cited the action ot the New York oourts, in the recent trial for oft'ensea similar to the ones charged against these defendants. He would fix the bail in the amounts asked for by the slate. OBITUARY. Ueutenaut Joa. S.

whom tbe president ha turned over the federal patronage of Indiana, wauted a district hf first chose the handsome John Lamb. When tbe handsome John Lamb failed lo be confirmed, Mr. Yoorbees appointed Mr. Tur pie, a good natured, old fashioned democrat, who preferred sidewalk political discussions to severe intellectual labor iu tbe courts. Mr.

Turpie has now been elevated to the highest pinnacle of democratic lame. He holds a fraudulent certificate to a place to which he baa not been elected. He is now Senator Voorhees's peer; Yes, bis peer, sir, and he proposes, with the ingratitude common to Indiana democrats, to have a "sheer" of tbe offices. He was district attorney, and he proposes to name bis own successor. He claims to have a remainder' in the term, while Yoorbees insists that there is no remainder, bnt that hia own right in reversion takes effect at once.

It is a pretty quarrel as it stands. Mr. Voorhees wants the office which the president has given him, and Mr, Turpie contends that it haa been granted to him for a term ot lour years. This difference between the two old friends will lead to a Terversion of the intent of the original grant, was the president's intention, evidently, to part with the Indiana offices, and to grant all the rights and appurtenances to the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." He will be obliged, bowever, to reaunme tbe propertv for the purpose of deciding between tha rival claimants. What ia the old adaga about irienda who fall out? 4 Mr.

returning from tho requiem services in: the cathedral of St. Paul a bomb attached to a cord was thrown in his direction. The intention was to tighten the string which was connected with the mechanism, and thus explode the bomb, but before.it be executed the criminal and a suspected accomplice were seized. It was found that they4 lived together in a lodging house in a suburb of the city. Tlie police visited the house and discovered there a quantity of explosives and a number of revolutionary pamphlets.

Over 00 persons have been arrested in connection with the affair. The German police bad warned the Jlussiau authorities that an attempt was to be made against the czar's life, but the latter failed to trace the plotters. The bomb was thrown under the czar's carriage. It was shaped like a book, to that it could be carried iu the hands without exciting suspicion. It has been ascertained that the recently discovered conspiracy ot lltlssian iandown ers and tradesmen to overthrow the czar's government was very extensive and included" a number of military officers, and that it was chiedy on the ground that the was averse to embarking in war.

Berllv. March 16. The Post takes a gloomy view of the plot to assassinate the czar, and says: "With terror and regret we say that Europe must prepare to see Russia adopt a jHilicy of despair, taking shape either in fatalistic resignation or frantio adventure. The latter is the more probable. It will require a superhuman effort on the part of the czar to oppose the tempest of voices calling for war as a remedy for Kas sia's woes." St.

WALSH'S I MORTGAGE.

I3iCr.TJlES INDIANA REPORTS That Do Not Belong to Him An Embar raitiDg Condition of A flair lor Ea Auditor of State Klco. James J. Walsh, one of the assistant secretaries of the senate during' the recent legislative session, is not about his accustomed resorts, clouded condition and he has, left a of affairs extreme Jy mortifying to, his friends, and which calls for explanation and perhaps atonement. It seems that while Mr. hice was state auditor, beiug cramped for room at the stale building, be was induced to loan Mr.

Walsh ninety nine volumes of Indiana reports, each volume worth "$3, the latter explaining that he would carefully care for the same in his qusrters in the Judah block, aud make return upon demand of the state. 1 Prior to Mr. Rice's retirement these books were included in tbe list which, he provided for the information of the new auditor, and he ia structed Mr. Walsh to make such terms with Mr. Carr as might be satisfactory to both parties, aud release him from all responsibility.

What ever Walsh may have done toward this is not known, bnt it seems that the new auditor preferred to hold the ex auditor responsible for the collection, and this was understood by Mr. Rice. Some years ago Walsh, waa of dissipated' habits, bnt for tbe past two years he had fought down this inclination and was successful until the last week of the meeting of the legislature, when he indulged to excess. His friends interfered, and he was cared for until it was supposed he was again all right, but it appears that after the adjournment he continued spree, and baa been going it pretty lively. This fact alarmed the ex auditor, so far as can be ascertained, and not being successful in finding Mr.

Walsh, he directed the janitor of the building to return the books, and in person he transferred them to the at torney general. Seven volumes were found to have been sold to Enirlebach's second hand book store, 79 East Wahinctorj street, and they were redeemed by Mr. Rice at the price advanced upou them. Immediately after the removal ot the state's property to it he care of the attorney general. Deputy Constable Smock appeared upon tbe scene with a writ, and he took possession of the remaining personal property belonging to.

Mr. Walsh, under authority of a chattel mortgage executed to E. Burroughs on the ot April, one year ago, the same maturing in Jupe of last year, and being renewed lrom1 time to time fo the present, when it is due beyond all controversy. In this mortgage was included the Indiana reports borrowed from the state auditor, as well as his own private law library and other personal property, and in mortgaging which he made oath that "he is the legal and absolute owner of the personal property described, and the same is free from any and all claims and liens whatsoever." Night before Jast the ofiicersmadean attempt find Mr. Walsh, bnt he had left the St.

Charles, where be had been stopping, and it is the understanding that he has temporarily left the city. It is not supposed that, any pjosecntiou will iollow, as there is a bint tiiat his friends at Greenfield have signified ah intention of milking crood the loss that Mr. Burroughs might austain, still the conduct of Mr. Walsh has (riven rise to much gossip, and. his friends are deeply chagrined 111:1: ne is not uere to give explanation or tne matter.

The date of the" mortgage shows that at that time Mr. Walsh was the indorsement of his party for joint representa tive of this and Hancock counties. mid tbe election of last November demonstrated that if his own home (Hancock) itself a democratic county had not repudiated him, bo would have been elected.

A Disngreement at tbe Atalns pnwWorka' Leads to Striko and SOmtUng Downw LOn the door to the "office" of the aa woia of E. C. Atkins Co. is the placard WArLrfl sa ia Vi nntil further notice," followed by the announcement. "Persons desiring employment van send in, their narues or apply personalty to E.

Atkins, president of the company." Tlie temporary suspension of work Is due to a disagreement with some of the rafn, worker in the cross cat raw department, and until this is settled Mr. Atkins determined to shut down the works, which was done; yesterday, and. 209 people were thus thrown out of employment. On Monday twelve) journeymen, and eight apprentices went out of the shop. Last week they' claimed that their wages wer about to be reduced theyj arranged a schedule, asking tb company to pledge themselves to leave it unchanged Until March, 1SS8.

Atkins declined to make such an agreeroent'withont a guarantee tbtut the same sohedale would be maintained brfother manufacturers, which, of course, "he could not receive. Yesterday the strikers submitted another proposition, that no eharige la wage should be made without thirty days' notice, and that there should be bat one apprentice to every four journeymen. Mr. Atkint, agreed to the former but declined to concede the latter, for the reason, as hei says, thai there is a great scarcity of aaw wbrkera, and it is absolutely necessary to have apprentices learn the, trade. He haa no intention of eiffployingt unreasonable number of apprentices, nor of displacing any of the old men, who, he says, can work for him as long as they are faithful and industrious.

He attributes the present trouble to two or three outsiders, agitators, who have secured places in the iactory, and he emphatically deniea that there had been the slightest intention to reduce wages." There has been hat one reduction in nearly three years, and it was only a trivial one, of which the men did not complain. The journeymen, he Says, average three dollars a day for their Work. It ia probable that the trouble will be amicably adjusted within a day or twoi and work resumed. Suit oa a Note for S4SOO. The ere is a suit on trial In Juage Howe's room of some interest.
