It is understood that preparations will shortly be made for completing the repairs to the damaged piers of the Aqueduct bridge. The work was suspended during the winter, though the labor of quarrying and cutting the massive blocks of stone to erter into the construction of the new fourth pier has been continued without in- termission. There is believed to be no dan- “ger of the Potomac river overfiwing the ex- isting coffer dam, this being one of the drawbacks of the work during the winter. It was understood that a diver employed by the engineer department of the army made a careful inspection of the other piers of the structure and found them to be in a condition to siand further use. ‘The coffer dam as it stands at present is in need of considerable repairs before it will be able to keep out the water. The structure is several years old, and difficulty has been experienced in making it water tight. The machinery and other material which have been taken from the place will all have to be put back in place before the werk can proceed. Sunday School Officers.
