Westminster, Md., Feb. 1.-Inves tigation ot tbe death of Lulu Airing, a young woman of Brucoville, re sulted in the airest to-day of Ira Dobn, a young married man who lives ten miles from Union Bridge. A coroner's jury charged Bohn with having caused the girl's death hy means of a drug. Ile was com mitted without ball for the grand jury.

INDIANS' CANTILEVER BIUIH?E. Curious Structure Built Over a Brit ish ( 'ol H ni hi a lliver. Some interesting examples- of 'in dian ingenuity are afforded on the River Skeen? and its tributaries in North British Columbia. These wa-, terways lu their upper reaches How very swiftly,, says the Scientific American, and for the most part through deep ravines. As it is im possible'for the Indians to cross them by means of canoes they have resort ed to bridging. Their bridges are interesting struc ! tures from the engineering point of ? view, Inasmuch as the cantilever prin ciple is adopted. A bridge of this design spans the Blakeley river where | it is about 120 feet wide, and the height from tho bridge to water level ts about eighty feet. lt ls built of wooden logs, the legs of the structure being formed of single stout logs varying from sixty | to eighty feet in length. The task of , lowering them into position must , have demanded conslderabo ingenu ity on the par of the builders. They are buried about fifteen teet at their lower ends and anchored by the Buper-lmposttlon of masses of large rock rolled and carried to the site. The longitudinal members of the. shore spans arc similarly buried in the ground and lashed to the ends of the diagonal legs. These malu members, correspond ing to deck girders, are about 120 feet In length, and to either end the A members of the superstructure are lashed. Elaborate cross-bracing is resorted to In order to secure greater strength. When the bridge was first erected the different members were simply secured together by willow thongs, but when the British Columbian gov ernment erected a more substantial suspension bridge lower down the river the Indians assembled and fol lowed the white man's operations with great interest. They observed how the thick wire cables were slung and anchored, and accordingly de cided to Introduce wire into their own structure. They procured the material for this purpose from wherever they could and introduced it in a most fantas tic manner. Also when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway engineers com- j menced w rklng on their track near by the Indians procured odds and ends, such as bolts and spikes, from them for introduction In their bridge, so that now it is a strange looking piece ol ??'.',:, (hough the (-.nda mon iii' qa'nUlevo'r luios are Kuli ftlH'tln'ot; .

Summerton, Jan. 20.-A disastrous fire occurred about four miles from this town yesterday morning at ll o'clock, when Andrew's Chapel (Methodist) was burned to the ground. Tho fire started from a de fective stove flue in tho overhead ceiling, and as no adequate means for lighting the flames were at hand, this historic old church was soon nothing more than a pile of ashes. There was no insurance on tho build ing. Andrew's Chapel wns one of thc churches composing tho Pinewood Circuit, of which charge Rev. John B. Wilson ls tho pastor.

Clemson College, Jan. 29.--Sue- ? eial: Hog cholera ls now nrevalont throughout the entire State, and j numerous requests for assistance in the control of this disease have been received from practically every coun ty. Owing to the large number of these requests, lt ls absolutely Im possible for this office to immediately send our veterinarians, but wo will give those requests attention In the order received. Whoa this is im practical, they will he given afton- ? tion in the order of importance ac cording to location. To enable owners to prevent the | Introduction of this disease into their j herds, and to nsslst in its control, Hie following information is alvon: Hog cholera ls a contagious dis ease, caused by germs that are pres ent in the blood tissues and excre tions of hogs affected with cholera. Unless these germs are carried from sick hogs or Infected premises, the disease will not spread. Tho follow ing are a few of tho most common ways by which this disease ls scat tered : 1. By failure to'properly dispose 01 carcasses of dead hogs. Buzzards, | dogs, etc., will carry infection. Bury deeply or hum all carcasses, 2. By persons walking through yards where sick hogs are kept? the infection then being carried on shoes or clothing to yards where healthy hogs are confined. Keep visitors away from youl' hogs. Do not go or allow any of your help to go on premises where there are sick hogs. 3. By streams receiving drainage from infected premises. If streams running through your lots are drain ing infected premises, move hogs to other lots. 4. By buying hogs from herds where the disease exists, or from pub lip stock yards. Do not buy hogs un less you know they come from heal thy herds. Hog cars and stock yards are always to be considered infec tious. Remember that hog cholera ls usu ally contracted through tho mouth and digestive tract, and that the dis charges from a hog affected with cholera are very infectious, j Healthy herds should bo takon caro of by persons who have not been where the disease exists, and no one else should be allowed near the heal thy herds. In herds where Hie disease ba? al ready appeared tho healthy bogs should bo moved to no*v bit.; and ! pens) and aga in moved if any hogs; HJ'< hil-T tah?p sick. Disinfect pons and lots that have been occupied by sick hogs. Plow lots and disinfect pens, troughs, etc., with a 'i per cent solution of com pound solution of creosol or with strone solution bf other good disin fectant, which your druggist can fur nish. Treatment Is useless, and money spent for drugs had better be expend ed foi' disinfectants. Whilo we have no cure for this disease, we have a sure preventive in hog cholera serum, prepared according to the method originated by Drs. Dorsey and Niles, of the United States Department of Agriculture. This serum is now -be ing prepared by this division and ia being used by our veterinarians in controlling outbreaks of this disease. As previously stated, this serum will protect hogs from cholera, but will not cure those that have already con tracted the disease. As we cannot supply moro serum than needed by the veterinarians of this division in their work throughout tho State, lt will be useless for veterinarians or others to apply for serum. M. Ray Powers.
