Among them were Jomes Peaos, the singers John T\ Emith, the theatrical menty A. R, Cazauran, tho critle: John Thonvson, tho stenographor; W, P Fer- guson and ‘om Whiflin, the actors, and several others, The convraation was gencral, but after soma timo fell onJoln Wilkes, who was n personal acquaintanc of every gentleman prezent, with the exeeptin of one—Mr, Whiflin. ~ All Iind been moreor less connected at varlous thnes with tho min whoso namne and whose act will always ocepy an important page in Amerlcan listory. Lwas rather siugular that so many persons shuld mect at the same table, and find that each hd been more or Icas an acqualntance of John Both, This naturally brought ebout u Adiscusslonf thacireumstances whichsurrounded the man pevloys to bis crime, and of tho fact that each ¢ thespeakers had vlayed someywhat of apart In tecircumstances which surrounded the pencd of which they spoke. Thoso present naturahy.poke of the dead actor asa remints- cence mo than of a criminal, and the sole ob- ject of tin articlo Is to add somo curious facts to tho usvritten hlstory of the mau. There was a apeses of fascination fn the conversation, and as {t rocceded it became deeply Intereat- fog. w[ remember so well meeting Jobn Booth," sakd John@, Smith, “a few days before the na- saamnatios ](uhmuluutbucuplnylu in theoll reglong, nd Iasked hiinat the hotel In Wash- Sugton Do ho wado out, ¢ Busluess was fluo.’ sald Boot, *but | intend to give up the stage forcver, [ can make more money speculatiy, ju ofl.

Cuicaao, Jan. 18.—There 18 sbout as much In support of the theory that thieves tampered with tha Ashtabula bridge asthere were reasons | to bellevs that the destruction of Chi 1871 was due to Rebels and Beees<onlsts, There were three natural agencles ab work [n the de- structlon of Chleago, viz.: un wnprecedented drought, o furious tornado, and n searcity of water, which were more potent than a wholo army of Beeesslonlsts, After all the mysterics iy been swept aside, awi ull thy favts sifted to the botta there wiil lkewlss b found o traln ol notural causes and agencied, at work, posslbly, since this bridge was first lmt. o use, any one of which will outwelgh any fechle elforts of twour Uiree miscreants, who wonld have to nse heay! wrenches and shedge-hunmers, wid bave to worl under 50 oany disadvantages, that 1t would b Impossiblo to uccomplish such s feat, Among the causes und agencles ut work may have been defeetdve and uvsultable motesy used dn bty consteuction, dishoneat workmanship, an over- sight or wisapplication tn use, any of which would brivg switt destruction when the Limit of eudurancs hiad been renchied, nnd without the ald of frost, Mr. Roys, the Compuny’s uttar- noy, la reported to huve suid that tho Come hany doos not proposs Lo become responsible or “any damages, as it was an act of God,— that I¥ ‘He saw it to Jower the temperature and Jessen the resistanes of the fron thu Compiny r;_urfi‘::ut Hable for the results of the catas- uplie.

Vel far s ho knew. Jyaiud purtectly fweltuistesas The vouclusions ta bo drawn from Mr. Col~ Nus' own lunguage are, that the bridge was sed o number of years s u single-track bridge. It will bs lmportant to know for & certafity whether the track, while it was 80 used, wus laid Iy the centro of the bridge or on the out- side; and, lkewlse, whethy the teats which it fs cluwed wers applisd were made while the track wu‘:p in - the centre or on one side ot tho bridge, There seems o be a shade of evasiveneas In Mr. Colling’ replics, which would lead doubts whether the bridge was ori tended fur & double track. ~ 8o far we bave only Afr. Collius’ word for (t. From all the reports and {uformstion that can be gathered, the Lridge wes what 13 terwed smoug mcchanics THE CHICAGO and bridge-bullders & single-trues bridge, .ndl being sct over a deep ravine, the track was lald over the top chiords of the bridge, n4 a matter of necessity, or !:llnlcc,—prohnb!{ he Intter, a8 1t would Joasen tho expenso In tho construction of the abutmenta, ‘There are two conslderations fnvolved fn the constriction of the I)rMic which inight go stlll further to disprove Mr. Collins! asscrtfon {n re- ard to hinving n double track orfginally, The rat I, that 1t was only a siogle-tross lmducl and the fact heing that the tracks were lnid over the top of the bridze, there doesn't ap- pear to be any apparent reason why the bridge was not bullt whler anid another teiss adided In thie centra of the bridge, It 1t was intended foy adoubleitrack bridge. Becondly, Mr. Colling #ays it was constructed alxteen fcet wide, which would not peemit the ruruuznr conches to pass each other withont dofor one of two things which might be considered n little dangerous. "assenger voachies are from ten feet to ten feet four inches fn width, nnd they could not pass without running within twelve Inches of cach other, which wonld be extremely close, owing to the away of the ears, or clse the bearing for the outafds” rafl woull have fo rest on tho ties some conslderable distance outalde the truss or bridge, withontany aupport exeept the strength of the sleepers or ties. Nuw, by placing the Instde rafls six feet from centre to centre, two passenger coaclies could pres cach other and have one foot of apace between them. Tho insido rulls, told that distancs apart, would bring the outuido ratls just even with the outside of the truss or bridie, und the distance between the tiwo luside rails heing aix fect, and the wilth of the two trucks five feet each, would make up the sixteen feet, according to Mr. Colling' stuternent. Allowinsg that the raila were placed as stated, wiiich in all prubabltity was a fact, and, further- mure, that it was never Intended that passen- izer tralns should pass cach other on the brldge, atiil, ot the same tinie, there would b plenty of room for freight tralns to pass, without any danger or_Inconvenience s Lo the width of the bridze. But the fact still remains that the tracks, owing to the width of the bridge, had to Do fuld 80 that the centro of tne train, Or weleht to he supported, was placed or carrled from five and o half to slx feec ong slde of the centre of the bridge, which was at a cost or Toss of nearly one-half the strength of the brldge. In other words, ot the thne of the passing of a heavy train oser the bridge, only a little over one- falf the wholo of the combined strength of the bridze waa avafiable. Whenever o traln passed over, golng elthor east or west, one ar the other of the trusees had all or nearly all of the welght to caery. [lad there been a inid- dle triss iF woulit have obviated all the diflicul- ty, and i all buman probabllity the bridge would b standing hv\ln{. 1t will not ho forgotten that a similar calam- Ity ocenrred threo years ago last May at Dixon, Iil,, whera the sania principles wers fnvolved, of carrying a large body or multitude of peopla on onn'side of tha bridee, sacrifivine the lves of fifty or slxty men, women, aud chiidren, 1f the peopls bhad stood In thy eentroaf the brldge, it would have lossened the danger to sich an extent that it s hardly possible that the aceident could have' occurred, the straln on the Dixon bridice heing the same a8 thut to which the Ashtabuls bridee was sub- im-lm]. To illuatrate atill further, and the il ustratlon will he applicable in both cases: It will be remembered fhat the Dixon bridee broke down under the weight of about 30 l‘,“""“’ standing on gme side of the bridie, Now, whilo the peoplo stood on this side of the bridue, the opposite side of the bridge or tries had 1o welght to carry, and mieht alimost have been dispenseld with so far as render- g assiatun o the overloaded —part went, becatise {t was mot avallable, and it was fuipossible to command or secure the whnle combined strength of the hridge, owing to the position of the welght, As tac bridge went, the n‘)pflnllu truss that ehould have helped to sustain the welght only helped to eomplete the destruction by fulling on the people s th sl off the broken side of the bridze, This ac- cldent proved be(un\l all question the lmpor- tanve of authorltles and corporations enforelnge stringent ritles and regulations in regard to the use of bridizes, ‘This bridize, which has beenreferred t several thnen since the disaster nu Ashitabula, in proof, 4 it Iy elabined, of the impracticability or Insecur- Ity of lron In the constructlon of hridyes, proves nothing. It ls true it was uu iron bridee, the plan bl simitar to o woodon lattlee-bridize, and was constructed of wrought and cast {ron, the cust-iron belng used indiscriminately and very ujndielously, as the resuit bus proved, Mr. Tomlinson, i glving his evidence at the Inquest at Ashtubula, Jan. T snys the brldge was eoustructed to carey a moving load of from two to three tons tothe lheal foot. Does Mr, Tumlinson mean the whole combined strength of the bridgef Again, he says that 1f the ifon had been guod and wroughty aecording to pat- terns, and placed fn proper positlons, he thinks it would have been perfectly safe, Mr. Tomlin. son 8 referred to liere (n vonnection with the use ol cust-lron, ns one might fufer rfu is Tungungo that more or less hied been use Iron bridges have been bully, and are hullding now in this country, that, with propor eare, uu- less overtaken by nn earthquake, or the abut- ments and pierd give way, will stand for ages to come.
