Each contains over nine hua- dred thousand cubic feet, and bates ond over seventy thousand tons. Tue base of the pier covers 17,€00 square feet, and it is estimated that the total weight of the bridge proper, when loaded with pedestrians, carriages and borses. and raliway trains, will be about five thousand tons. The pressure upwards from the base of the pier will be only a littie over four tons per square foot.

Editor Star:—1 noticed in yesterday even- ipg’s STAR an article on Presidential inau- geration days which occur on Sundajs in which it Is stated that the 4tb of March, 1793, being the day of Washington’s second inau- guration fell on Sunday oe he was inaugu- rated on Monday, March 5tb, ——— there were no records of tne facts.” Now simple fact is that the 4th of Mareh, 1793, was not Sunday, but Monday, and I suppose be was inaugurated on thatday. I suppose the mistake must have arisen by assuming that we had a Julian and nota Gi calendar. The Julian calendar has a leap year every four years, but the Gregorian calendar only {7 leap years out of 400 years, the hundreds that are not divisible by 4 not being leap years; thus 1800, because 18 is not Givinible by 4, was not @ leap year. aud there Was none between 1796 and 1504; and as this style of reckoning commenced in England an¢ America in 1751,it must have been tn force in 1793. 1t is not qui'e true that every seveath Preai¢@: tial inauguration will occuron Sun- oe Occasionaliy it will be the 10th. This will be the case only three times out of 400 years, viz: in passing those centuries which when divided by 4 leave a remainder of 1,2 or 3. If there had been a President to inaugu- rate on the 4th of March, 1781, it would have been Sunday; t 1821, 1849, and 1 next three in tue years the next three wil! be in 1945 and 1975, @nd for the next is divisible by 4 without a re- mainder, and (consequently 2000 being @ leap year) will be 2001, «c., &c.,every 23 years until the next century. F. PRAYING BANDS AND THE PRESIDENT DIscUssED.—The reguiar meeting of the New York Methodist ministers was held in that city Monday. The discussion on the paper read two weeks ago by the Rev. Dr. Goodsell on the question of praying bauds was resumed. Dr. Goodsell in his paper argued that the bands worked injary instead of good, and creatcd disanion in tne church. He contended that they should be organized d@ flerently, and be reg: ible to the church governing body. The Kev. D ftom Soe band: It etbodism was established. Dr. Moorehouse elo favcred them, aod thought they worked great good. The Rev. Dr. Dickinson seoke against praying bands, He though! that the: ied of young 'y Were frequently con, men who were not fii to | who always sought for something sen: tional and exciting. He did not belleve in such modes of worsbip. He also asked that the conduct of President Grant in visiting tbe Centennial on Sunday should be con- demned. Rev. Dr. Tiffany, of Chicago, de- fended the President, and said be knew him to be a strict observer of the Sabbath. Ifhe bad gone to the Exbibition on Sunday, he was certain it could have been only on the urgent solicitation of a friend. The matter was not pushed to a vote. ATERRIBLE EXPLOSION of an engine of the Western Maryland Railroad took place at Union Bridge, Md., yesterday afterooon resulting in the death of the engineer, John W. Rumspert, and the severe wounding of the fireman, George Carr. For some minutes before the explosion occurred the engineer was ov the top of the cab screwing down the po f valve, and in & position in which he could not see the steam gauge, and as the blower was on it 1s presumed ‘that steam generated very rapidly, apd that the explo- sion was occasioned by excessive pressure. The explosion was terrific, tearing the shell of the boiler into small fragments and throwing portions of the machinery fully one thousand feet. The engine is a complete wreck, even the frame being torn in pieces, and will not be rebuilt. An inquest has been beld and the jury rendered a verdict that John W. Rumspert came to his death by the explosion of engine No 4of Weetern Maryland Railroad; cause of explosion not known to the Jury. 'Rumspert was about 45 years Of age, and resided with his family, a Wife and six childreo, at No.46 Whatcoat street, Baltimor AUANDONING A TRADE UNION.—Mr. Joues, proprietor of the New York Times, two weeks ago submitted a proposition to the type setters on the paper tbat he should pay them the present rate for composition, 50 cents per thousand ems, uctil December Ist, and that during the ensuing year be should pay 45 cents, and after that 5 cents per 1,000 above the market price. The meu agreeing to this were to leave the union. LO man connected with the organization was to be allowed to work in the office.

He quotes the fourteenth amendment of the constitu- penile celeores aeons bas been re- ‘Ventions of the south and was adopted as a be universsily’ accepted. as a Muni serie univers: inal settle ment. Tilden after citing his own puplic declaration on the subject previously made, says: ‘ Bhould 1 be elected President the ade sions of the fourteenth amendment will, so faras depends on me, be maintained, exe- cuted and enforced in perfect and absolute good taith. No rebel debt will be assumed or paid. Noclaim for the loss or emaoci pation of any slave will be allowed. No claim for any loss or damage incurred by disloyal persors arising from tne late war, whether covered by the fourteenth amend- ment or not; will be recognized or paid. The cotton tax will not be refunded. I shall deem it my duty to veto every bill provid ing for the assdmption or payment of any such debts, losses, damages, Claims or for the refunding of any such tax. The danger to the national treasury is notirom claims of persons who aided in the rebellion, but from claims of persons residing in thesonth- ern states, or having property in those states, who were or pretended to be, or who, for the sake of aiding claims, pretend to have been loyal to the government of theunton.

J. TILDEN.” Sau WRESTLING FRAUDS—The Bauer Miller Maich—A telegram trom Caicago, October #4 says: The most glaring and magnificent of frauds has just been brought to light in connection with the Greco-Roman wrest- ing match, which took place on Saturday night, when Miller was declared by Barney Asron, the referee, as the victor. It seems that for several days before the match came off a combination Went from place to place betting all the money that they could gather that Miller would be the victor. A Cinig Oot the rame of John Parks called upon both wrestiers and offered to toe up $2,400 oo Bauer,with tbe understanding that he should win, @bd that the $2,400 shouid be divided in three equal parts. Ove of the wrestlers agreed, and the other was about to do so, when a gentleman who learned of the in- tended fraud said tbat he would have them driven out of the city if he found ye pera work. This only had the effect making Parks bet heavier on Bauer. The rest of Bauer's backers ‘ound this out on Saturday, 4nd also that Miller's backers were taking these bets, and knowing how these wrest ing matches are worked, and seeing that Parks was @ goose to be fleeced, they began to hedge their bets, and began betting on Miller. “Of course Miller woo, and Parks, sbo bet bis last cent on Bauer, bas #700. CURIOUS BREACH OF PROM(SE.—A Strange breach-of promise case is ou trial in a San Francisco court, the peculiarity being that &@ woman sues a man for refusing to lost over keep & matrimonial engagement made witb ‘Mr while rs. was the wife of another mai. 9 own age and disposition, and she bestowed on bim the affection whi.h her husband could not gain.

The boy who presented it stated that the lady who gave it to him was awaiting bis return @ few doors below. Whea Mr Thatcher arrived at the place indicated tbe Woman had gone. It ts supposed that a con- federate notified her of tke defeat of her scheme in time to allow her to escape.—(J. ¥, Times, 2th. ABROKERS SUIT AGAINST A FEMALE Stock BROKER—Greenhof, Sorris & Co., brokers, of New York, brought an action against Mrs. Louisa Stanton to recover the sum of $2,800, which they claim to be dus on account, and which the lady denies. Her counsel appeared before Judge Pratt, in the svpreme court, yesterday, and moved fora bill of particulars and refereace. Judge Pratt thought they had better have the case ieferred, but the counsel for the plaintiff re- fused, and expressed his desire have the case tried before the court. ‘This woman,” be said, “ia a and is quite capable of care of herself.” i J 4 , f i e ( i : E tH fe : ee HH il a “itr il “ : Tr 4 reports after a determined fight, which lasted ten rs.

The Times’ dispaten from Vienna says Turkey bas declared her readiness to the six weeks’ armistice, provided recommended by ali the powers. It is re- assuring to hesr from Coustantinople that bopes of @ more peaceful turn in afiairs bave considerably increased. This feeiing is caused by the unexpectedly conciliatory attitude of Gen.

The Berlin correspondent of the London Times reports that the iron-clad Peter the Great was recalled at the moment it was leaving Cronstadt for the Mediterranean. It is believed thateven now Russia prefers to effect the semi-independence of Bulgaria by nego! rather than by deciaring war, or that at all events she will endeavor to de- fer war unti! winter.

The Vienna correspondent of the Daily News reports that arrests continue to be made in Constantinople on account of the last conspiracy. It is alleged that the pur- pese of the conspirators was to forcibly de. pose the reformirg government. A former Grand Vizier, Mahmoud Pasha, is impli- cated. The members of the cabinet were to nave been seized at the moment whea Gen.
