. INDIANA STATE NEWS. KANKAKEE MARSH. P«« of Die Moat Disastrous Fires That Kw ^ Occurred In That Section Raging. Cbown Point. Ind., Oct. II.—One of the most disastrous Marsh fires that ever occurred in the county is raging' in the Kankakee marsh, which covers 80 sections of land 13 miles south of this city, and by Saturday night thousands of tons of hay and farm buildings will no doubt be destroyed. It is supposed the heavy growth in the marsh was ignited by a passing engine near Fuller island. So quickly did the flames travel eastward that Bobert McCoy and Marcellus Smith, who live on the island, were forced to flee to the pasture land with their families, where they watched the destruction of their houses by the flames as well as all the other buildings on the island. From this point the fire traveled two miles east and for a few minutes it looked as though many farm houses on the Lowell road would be consumed, but luckily the wind changed and turned the fire southward, in which direction it is now rapidly traveling. Kelson Morris’ big ranch, where thousands of cattle are being fattened for his slaughter house, is in immediate danger. This fire is a repetition of the big one of 1835 when 8200,000 was lost.

Dana died at 1:20 yesterday afternoon at his home in Glen Cove. New York, Oct 18.—Mr. Dana's death had been expected for several hours and his family and physiciaus were at his bedside when the end came. His condition had been such for several months that the members of his family had kept themselves in constant readiness to go to his bedside at any moment On Saturday morning he had a relapse. and it was apparent*that recovary was impossible. Several times, however, he rallied, but toward night began to sink. During the night there were feeble rallies, but they did not last long. Yesterday morning it was seen that the end was but a few hours off, and his attendants remained almost cousfSnHy at his bedside. The end came quietly. The extreme heat of Saturday and Friday had much to do with hastening ieath. On Friday Mr. Dana showed signs ol distress, and everything possible was I done to relieve him. lie had been j weakened by his long illuess, aud during the summer was several times thought to be ou the verge of a fatal I collapse, but eaeh time rallied.

MARVELOUS ENGINEERING FEAT 4 348-foot Iron Span Removed aud Replaced with Steel m Two minute* aud a Half. Phiudeltuia, Oct. 18.—The feat of replacing uu iron bridge spau 242 feet long, 25 feet wide aud 20 feet depth, with one of the same dimensions of steel was accomplished in this city yssterday in 2 minutes aud 32 seconds. In this space of time nearly 1,700 tons of iron aud steel were moved a distance of 25 feet and ^there was not a •lip or a hitch in the entire proceedings. This remarkable feat of engineering was accomplished at what is known as the connecting railroad bridge over the Schuylkill, just above Girard avenue. It is tbe bridge that bears the tracks of the New York division on the Pennsylvania railroad. The time set for the replacement was 48 minutes iuterveuiug between the passage over the bridge of the Chestnut Hill accomodation train leaviug Broad-street station at 2:47 p. in., and at 3:35 p. m. A work train crossed to the eastern end of the bridge and stopped. The gangs of trackmen began to uuspike the rails of the west-bound track ou the old span. This done, the grapplers of the work traiu took hold of the ends of the rails, the engine started up and the entire length of rails, 24c feet, was soaked off in short order. Meanwhile four stationary engines, I one at each end aud on a level with the bridge foundations and another at each end on scows securely moored at the base of the bridge piers, were puffing and emphasiziug their readiuess for the work they had to do. There was said to be less than 100-horse power represented iu these four engines, yet so well was everything arranged that they moved the leviathan without aur apparent overexertion. Then the, sigual was giveu for the little stationary engines to assert themselves. It seemed as if they all started at the identical iustant. It was like clockwork. As the edge of the old irou »pau began to show beyond the bridge piers, the crowds ou the north of the river set up a sboat, and as the breadth of the new steel spun began to disappear behind the piers, the crowds ou the southern coigue ol vantage also joined in the cheer, aud before the cheer had died away the mighty feat had been accomplished. In just 2 minutes and :-i2 seconds from the time of starting the engine* the new span occupied the exact position from which the old one had been removed.
