0 TUE SUSi8 CAPITAL. MORE FEES FOR THE SHERIFY. Speaker Hitchman’s New Rapid Transit Bill. An Improved Elevated Railway on the West Side. CREAMER AND TWEED ON EDITORS. ALBANY, Jan. 80, 1871, ‘The ‘two onses of the Legislature reassembled ‘this everiing at seven o'clock. There was by no ‘Means a full attendance, owing to the absence of several of the New Yorkers, who prefer to attend political Gances rather than their legislative busi- ness. Mr. Burns, in the lower House, opened the ball with a bill which is aimed at RBAL ESTATE REFEREES im your city, who for years have made It a very ‘profitable business to get large sales referred to them for final disposal, It provides that hereafter all fales of real estate made in the city and county of New York wader the decree or judgment of any court of record shall be made by the Sherif, exeept in cases where he is a party in- terested. Of course this will go a great way towards increasing the fees of the Sheriff, but Denny con- tends that his fees for real estate are already fixed ata certam figure, whereas referees are not re- stricted at ail. The bill has not a very clear com- plexton, but if Denny is right in what he says the House will no doupt endorse his views when the proper time comes. There was que A LIVELY TIME in the Committee of the Whole over the bill to fix ‘the rate to be paid to newspapers for publishing the laws of the State, As the present statute stands the price can be rated by county supervisors between thirty and filty cents afolio, The bill fixed the * price at fifty cents, no more, no less. Mr, Gleason " wanted the law to remain just where it now is, but got foored when his amendment was pressed toa vote. An effort was made to drag into the provisions of the bill a certain § journal of whom no one ever heard before, but was broken down by the opposition with which it was met. Mr. Kilham, of Madison, tried to have the bill Mxed so ‘that the laws should be published 1m papers having the largest circulation in each county, but a few ot the country meimbers— ,ulllarivers themselves atthe head of obscure dry goods circulars, diguified by the title of newspapers—couldn’t afford to Jose the sop thrown to them irom the public stills, and fought the motion so stoutly, so appealtngly, that jtlell through, Several of the members dis- Ungulshea themselves during the debate by their sma!l wit concerning NEWSPAPERS IN GENERAL. Weed, of Clinton, seemed to be desirous of win- ning tbe title so much loved by old Pangiloss, M. D., for the zeal he displayed in this paracular. Mr. Hitchman presented his long talked-o!, long-cx- pected RAPID TRANSIT BILL, At Js entitled ‘An act to incorporate the New York Railway Company,” and provides that the capital Stock shall be ten million doliars. The road is to pe an elevated one, and is to be constructed with single and dou'le tracks and sidings across and be- tween the atreets, from the Battery and Bowling Green west of Broadway, the Sixth avenue and Cea- trai Park to Harlem river, and from a con- venient point south of Twenty-sixth street to @ point east of Madison avenue and thence to Harlem river. The read is to be made to connect with the various existing steam railways, and upon any bridge which may hereafter be erected between New York and adjacent shores “by steam or other power.” The company are empowered to “enter upon and underneath” the various st-eets through Which the road will pass, and are compelled, after erecting the abutments, to restore the surface to a proper condition. The tracks are to be twelve feet above the leve! surface of the street and where they cross ary street are to be erecied on bridges of & Single span, the abutments or supporiers of the road bot to project beyond the front lime of the houses. The bridges are to be made with close floors and have close parapets on each In those parts of tne city rhere the streets are not led and reguiated the permanently laid out, railway, by order of the Supreme Court, can be cor Biructéd “on the surface of the elevatcd ground, The road wil: not be constructed continuously over any street or avenue for a greater distance than seven blocks. No cars areto be run on the first day of the week, commonly known as Sunday, and on week days tr areto be run not eftener than every half hour. The act prohibits the use of steam ghals, but says nothing about bells, hough it provi at the read shall be con: structed in the most “substantial manner” possible, it gives no hint whatever as to whether this “sub- stantial manner” will be after the Greenwich street railway fashion, or some other more likely to be Knocked into some old iron shop by the grand jury. THE CORPORATORS mentioned in the will are Josiah Sutherland, James ue tley, Samuel Sloan, Edward B. Strange, Emil Sauer, Starkweather, Homer a, Ne! Edw; ‘on, Philo C, Calhoun, Heury Shonnard, Peter R. Kis- sam, John Sioane, Elliott T. Shephard, Charles A. Lamont, Samuel Howard, J. l. Pierson, Elisha Brooks and Charles W . Whey. Kelly, of New York, introduced his CAL BILL, which I made mention of m a previous despatch. It poe tbat scales 5! be erected in every Assem- ly district in New York, where every load of coal must be weighed before it 1s delivered to the pur- chaser. The Depariment of Pubilc Works 1s to have the control of the weighing business—a gooa thing for coal consumers, and a better thing for many Of the inspectors, who, besides seeing that there 18 aiways 2,000 pounds to every ten, will also see to it that they are net the losers if some con- sumer thinks he gets full weight and doesn’t, THE DULL MONOTONY of the Senate proceedings were enlivened this even- ing by Senator Thomas Creamer, who took occasion to “go for” a certain obscure newspaper which had seen lit to “go for” him during the week, in a way ‘that was not conducive to the increase of his natural stock of good humor. The object of the Senator's wrath also coupled his name with that of the *Boss” as thougn the latter and be were not pulling together as well as goed democrats believed it was their duty to do. The “Boss,” after Thomas had taken his seat mollified, got up and said he had no eo to make against editors, This had a soothing effect all round, and ali the Senators went their way when the adjournment was announced beacefuily and quietly.

THEATER—“THE MAID OF ORLEANS.””—Last ‘evening the “Stadt” was again filled with a most attentive and enthusiastic audience, in spite of the threatening skies and terribly wet streets, to witness the representation ef Schiller’s grand tragedy, “The Maid of Orleans,” with Madame Seebach in the part of Joan of Arc, Such is the remarkable versatility of this great artist that she is able, night after night, to delight equal multitudes and elicit equal ap- planse from the most afferent classes of peopie and in the most varied range of performance, Last evening proved no exception to this rule. Sehili hinposing diction and splendid imagery recet new fire from the tragédtenne’s intensity, and could the great bard, philosopher and dramatist revive to witness such an Serpe of the heroine of Domremy as we bebeld yesterday even- ing, he would undoubtedly feel that to be $0 under- stood and 80 inierpreted was of itself a noble re- ward, So much has been written of this great eSort of Schiller that ltttle can be added bere. It has the Shakspearian merit of being a real jife picture, with living, loving men and wemen for personages. The weak charac- ter of the French King Charies VIL, quite e‘fectively rendered by Mr. Krans, and the commmgied vanity and cruelty of Isabel of Bavaria, finely done b: Mile. Veneta, are painted with a master hand. Mr. Pitsch, as the Duke of Burgundy, was even better than usual, which 13 double praise, while Miss Bissineer performed very cnarmingiy and touchingty in the sympathetic role of Agnes Sorel. Mr. Koppe, as Kmght Lionel, also renewed his Claims to the merit which we have already recognized in this promising young actor. Of Madame Seebach we can only say that she made A never-to-be-forgotten tableau of every scene in her very laborious and diMcult role, and’ was recalled again and again each time the curtain fell, Some striking passages in the fourth act were marred by the silliness of a few gigeling ninntes in the upper part of the house, but the power of tue leading figure on the stage was so transcendant that these tnter- Tuptions were instantly subdued. The baroer, cathedral, duel and death scenes were magnificent, not merely through the voice, gesture and look of Joan in her glittering armor, but from the care of the stage Wanagement in arranging the accessories, And here a particuiar word 1s due to Mr. Harry, who, in addition to the arduous duties of régisseur, layed the part of Talbot and also the spectral Black night admirably, sharing these latter honors with “the young and brave Dunots” of Mr. Dombrowski. Te-night the very celebrated and much a¢mtred five act drama (the favorite of 80 many distin- guished critics), entitled “Tiuschung auf Tiiu- schung,” with Mile, Veneta as the Princess Orsini, Will be given before a no doubt brilliant audience. NiBLO's—THE NEW FEATURES IN THE “BLACK Croox.’’—There is no d'minution in the drawing power of this well knowa spectacle in the house which tirst gave it birth, Yet the management last evening added many novelties to its apparently endless attractions. The principal of these 1s a very beautiful and artistically arranged demon ballet, in which Bonfanti, Costa, Novissimo and the corps de vallet iake part. rhe various changes of light and groupings in this ballet surpass, in an artistic point of view, anytBing ever seen before on the stage of this theatre. The music also, of Signor Operti, is far superior to what one generally hears iu show neces Ol this kind, The other novelties were the izarelli Brothers aad M. Seagrist and lis children, Their style of entertainment 1s better sulted for a cirenus or variety hall than Nibio’s, and is calculated to mar the harmony of the spectacle te a consider- able degree. There is such an inexhaustible fand of ballet, scenic, musical and comic elements that can be introduced at wili in the piece, that it is a ity to spoil any portion of it by sawdust tricks, As for the rest of the features, the lithe, graceful Cora Adrienne, the graceful Bonfanti and the truiy won- derfnl Majiitons, they are bound to find hosts of admirers for weeks to come. Woop’s MusevM.—After a long absence from the American stage Miss Lucy Rushton made her re- appearance last evening at this theatre. A new drama of the sensational order, entitled “Red Hands,” was presented. Itis full of strong situa- tions and kept the interest of the audience alive throughout the performance, The theme of the play is a mother’s love, Miss Lucy Rushton invested the leading part of ‘Rachel Harmon,” the wronged wife and mother, with much pathos, aud was fre- quently applauded. She did not, however, atcain to the tragic force for which seme of the scenes gave scope. Mr. ©. W. Barry was sufiiciently effective i gimp as the ruffianly villain, The other parts of the cast were pretty well rendered, and the mounting and setting were very fair, There was a crowded house, and no doubt Miss Kushton's ea- gagement wili be a brilliant success, Park THEATRE.—The familiar face of John Breugham was visible again last night at the Park theatre, in the play of “Tne Lottery of Life. There was a large audience, and the frequent encores were a proof that the performance was most acceptabie. Mr. Brougham appeared, of course, as Terry, “the Swell,” and was well sustained by Messrs. Carroll, Lamb, Ferguson, Shannon and others of Mrs, Con- way’s excelient stock company. Mr. Brougham will only be at the Park for a limited number of mighis, and those who desire to see him will do well to im- prove tue opportunity, Mrs. Macrgaby’s RecITaLs.—This accomplished lady reader gave a recital at Lyric Hali last even- ing. Owing, probably, to the weather, there was but a slim audience; and, perhaps, the fact of the entertainment being #0 far up town may also have had something to do with this want of numerical success, The répertowre included selections from “Midsummer Night's Dream,”’ “Romeo and Juliet’! and “The Honeymoon.” Mrs. Macready read with care and taste, but is lacking in true dramatic fire. Besides, recitals are scarcely at present a very popu- lar form of entertainment. ANJIHER FENIAN ADD32E33. Address from the United Irisumen to the Liberated Fenians—A Pian for Union. A deputation from the United Irishmen called at Sweeny’s Hotel last night and presented the follow- ing address to the liberated Fenians:— HEADQUARTERS UNITED IRISHMEN, Troy, N.-Y., Jan. 29, 1871. BrorHers—Belleving that your advent to the United States and the éciat therefrom arising pre- sent @ favorable opportunity for perfecting a thorough union of the Irish natienalists of North America, in accordance with the principles and past record of the United Irishmen, we desire, through supervision as worthy representatives 4, to Which we in common other Irish national bodies yield aliegiance, 10 unite the exiled portion of our race, 60 as to increase their mfuvence to the cause and to themselves. We consider thia can be effected immediately, and that whatever dif- details of sy: which the majority of the united body can at any ume settle. It is not calculated to subserve fraterual union by eatering into the merits of the causes cre- ating dissension in our national ranks. It is sufficient that im the future we can learn by our past experience how to avoid such evils. Neither 1s it necessary to open the question of relative strength and resources; though we desire it distinetly understood that we do not by this imply that are inferior im either, if such a test is deemed desirabie. What we want 1s union—the interests of Ireland require it—and Irishmen expect you, a8 men who have suffered for our cause, to act as super- visors in bringing it abeut, We, as an organiza- tion, ask no advantages, claim no superiority, admit no superiority, but insist that you, any feeling of ditide: hi about assuming to dire: measures to promote union, will accept the trust our people desire with all you to take, and which, from your past record, we feel no hesitation im offering, Tais union, 86 Imporatively essential, can be ef- fected at ence. No general convention is necessary. Letus unite first under your directions or auspices and afterwards arrange detuils of system. The oaly impediment to union is the existence of several exe- entive authorities, Let each of these resign, seaving the different organizations without their present gov- erning power, and have an executive council of three or more among you to take charge, in the character of trustees, and wiih provisional power, until a general convention of the united body is convened, ut which all classes will be represented as Irish nationalists. This is assuredly equltabie, becanse it makes the pegple the legislators, it ensures union, avoids ground for distrust and will show to the world that we can act as Irishmen unitedly end unselfishly for ireland, thereby cignifying our race and enhaneing oar power and infiuence. As aguarantee of our faith we cordially and wil- lingly present to you our resignation as directors of nization, and we will a8 soon as other au- do the same transfer control of our pro organization into the hands of parties se- jected by you from among yourselves, Fraternally yours, WM. J. NICHOLSON, Secretary. STABBING AFFRAY IN JERSEY CITY Two Kahan harpists, named Nicholas and Francis Stepeney, were tuning their wires yesterday s#fter- NOD Opposite the house No, 45 Suesex street, Jersey City, when they were attacked by two roughs, named Lack Fallon and Jack Dolan, the former of whom broke the harp and violin, In the genMe which ensued Pallon inflicted a deep gash on the head of Nichoias Stepeney and received in return the biade of a knife under the armpit, on the right side, The harpers were jocked up in the First pre- cinct station, and they presented the appearance of haying becn treated very roughly. THE FORTIFICATIONS OF HAVRE Visit of a Herald Correspondent to the Defences of tie City. Tiz PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT IMITATED. A Movement Contemplated and How It is to be Carried Into Effect. Havkg, Dec, 28, 187°, T went to the advance posts to-day and made an Inspection of the fortifications as far as Harfeur, Leaving Havre in the morning with a permit from Colonel Mocquard, who is eapectalty friendly to the HERALD, I took the road, in tne midst of a heavy snow storm, and penetrated the elaborate fortfica- tions now guarding the city. These works are very singular in their construction, but more remarkabie in their design. THE DEFENCES. The highway is defended by a barricade of sand- boxes, piled up m the shape of the pyramids of Egypt, buiit, I may say, after the same fashion as the famous one of Cheops. Blocks of stone there are not, but in their place are oblong boxes of sand, all compactly built into a solid whole, intended to resist the most furlous cannonade from te heaviest cahbres. Each pyramid is placed in the road, one- half the width of the highway, ana but a few Seet beyond is the other pyramad, and the two to- gether, while permitting trafic, absolutely command the approaches and protect the soldalery, About ubree miles from Havre these defences terminate, and the entrance of the town (the Octroi) is defended by gambions, or wicker worked ramparts, with angular ports, uniquely ambushed and whick com- mand the highway. HAVRE, ON ITS OUTSKIRTS, for three miles outboard of the city, 1s surrounded by heiguts, and these ridges are crested with the same character of ramparts. The Prussians can hardly take the city, and their position on the offensive ‘would be very hazardous and any result extremely doubtful Such overpowering “swell” fortifications Ihave never seen, ‘They are lof'y, bristling, unplea- sant in thelr features, and the bulldog guns frown on the far-of plain, At right and left the out- jying country, now clad in snow, presents a curious appearance. There are the glacis, the escarpments and the heavy artillery, which rest like innocent babes, awaiting im ambush the enemy's approach, Havre, I repeat, can never be taken: it is most superbly defended, and the oficers ana soldiers improve daily. Musketry and artillery firing occur, aud we are growing sick of amonotony of concussions, MOCQTARD has gone to Bolbec with his matchiess battalion, and the French, tothe namber of 10,000, with artery aud Hussards, are distributed en face of the enemy, aod an onward movement 13 Lmminent. BEGINNING THE OFFENSIVE, Tlearned to-night, sud rosa, tnat an expedition departs to-morrow morning at niue A. M. for Rouen, commanded by a regular officer, This force ou the river 18 commanded by a naval officer, and on jand by a distinguished oficer of the army, and the land and navel forces co-operate. Great surprise is expressed at the inaction of the naval service here; but this movement, it is sald, 18 the work of Monchez here, who 1s the Com. mandant in Chief—a naval officer, I shail go to the {rout to-morrow, expecting to see sharp work, All appear to have getermination and energy. Tue ex- pedivon which goes up the Seine has tweive cannon, plenty ¢f ammunition, aud before you hear trom me —_ 1 think its termimation will be ta the history of ie W Moceuard is a fine fellow, and I belteve that the Prussians must soon be either beaten by him or they will destroy bis whole command. The sale of Engish papers is prohibited here, be- cause of the news which tney give of the movements of the French armies. Every one is now bopeful and confident and de- termined. The celebrated gendarmes of poleon heve been mobilized by decreea of the government. One hundred and fifty Prussians from Yvetot were met yesterday between Valiequerville aud Aivimare. They were going to Bolbec. Prussiaus have been seen in the environs of Lillebonne. The enemy has a considerable force at Yvctot. The lett bank of the seme is free. THE SINKING OF ENGLISH VESSELS IN THE SEINE. Great excitement and much ind il vails regarding the sinking of } theSeine. 1 culled on the British Consul and he told me that the vessels Sylph, Jnoon, Paragon, June, Kni+ dan and Moelaren Were the colliers; the name of the sixth is unknown. There are three more which are expected to suffer the sate fate. All here believe the action of the Prussians to be conceived in a ; Spirtt of hostility to England, aud all declare that Gladstone shall demand prompt repara- tion. of the british ma- rine, left hee bearing despatches to the British Admiralty detailing the facts of the seizure, The British Consul here was for energetic action, but the captain of the Helicon was not pre- pared to take the responsibility. Ail praise the ac- tion of the BritishC ons, and Englisnmen here say that it is to be regretted that American as well as English vessels were not sunk, thus provoking an alliance between the two Powers to secure ven- geance and procure indemnity against Prussia. Le Havre says on this subject ‘The aifair is either an ontrage by the Prussian cannon upon the English flag or it is an act of hostility by the British subjects against France or French territory. We do not think it possibie to regard this question in any other light, and it is one of great gravity.” ‘the French claim that the English sold these ves- sels for the purpose 0: blockading the Seine. Havre is still im a state of great excitement. CRUSHED BY THE SNOW. Captain Dashwood, ‘The Roof of a Rrilrond Depot Broken Down-Narrow Escapes—Damage $10,000. | On Sunday evening the roof of the large building known asthe ‘Round House,” at the Erie depot whurg, was crushed in by the weight of the snow n it, and fell on four locomotives which were in the fate at the time, badly damaging them. There were in the building at tue time of the accident five or #xX men, One man, named Sanford, fireman of eugine No. 146, was in the “cab” when the roof fell, but escaped without injury, and shortly afterward crawled out of the ruins, A beam ef the roof struck the engine on the dome, just forward of the cab, badly smashing it, and making Mr. Sanford’s escape a very narrow one. Two men who were in the pit, under one of the en, ines, also escaped without harm. Two others were in the building, near the south entrance, whem they heard the cracking of the roof; both ran out, justin time to save their lives; one of them, Anthony Swayne, was sligh‘ly injured by being struck on the leg by a falling traber. Their escape from imstant death was marveileus. The building was 4 jarge one, of brick, and measured one hundred and twenty by sixty feet. It was erected in 1848, when the Newburg Branch Railroad was opened, The engines damaged are Nos. 39, 146, 150 and 206, Engine No. 285—one of the finest on the road—had just been ran out of the Round Honse whea the roof feil. The turn-table in the house was considerably damaged. The total loss 1s estimated at about $10,000. gang of ‘wreckers’? worked at the ruins all Sunday night and all day Monday, and retty well cleared them away. The wails of the uiiding remained standing, Engines arrived from Greycourt and Port Jervis on Sunday night, and there has been no delay in the running of the trains either on the Newburg branci or on the New York aud Newvurg Ratliroad. 7 MOUNT WASHINGTON MET-QROLOGICAL REPORT.

At an early brour last evening the police reporters of the varios city papers were notified that four persons had been suffocated in the vicinity of Eighty. fifth street by an escape of gas on the floor where they were sleeping. The telegram came Syom Captain Byrae, of the Eighty-sixth street sta- tion house, and gave all the particulars at that time in possession of the police. At midnight a HERALD reporter visited the scene, in company with Captain Byrne. In front of the house, which is in ‘Third avenue, near Elghty-fifth street, two pelicemen were stand- ing. Ascending the stairs a door was opened on the second floor trom which came forth a stench which would almost drive one back, even were he possessed of the strongest nerves and stomach, En- tering this room, 4 small one, there was to be geen im one corner a bed céntalning four dead bodies. In the room was scattered about clothing, scanty articles of furniture and dishes, all unclean, A small piece of candle was furnished by the poilce, and with this a hasty inspection was made of the premises. Sticking the piece of candle on the head of the bed the bodies of those it contained were examined by its uncertain light, All of those upon it wore the full every day dress. Evidently the room had got cold and they had, as poor folks often are compelled to do, re- tired with their clothes on. On the further side of the bed, and near the wall, was a man, some twenty Years of age, and very good-looking, whom the police knew to be one Joho Scanlon, with black hair and half-open eyes and a beard some three days old; he was dressed m a dark coat, dark pants, light-colored vest and @ grayish wooMen shirt. A pair of woollen stockings were on his feet, half covered by an old quilt, From ns mouth there had escaped a quantity of foam, and it hung upon his lips ina great white cloud. His right hand was thrust into the upper part of his pants and the left hung over the head of a little child creeping up on his breast. The cnild seemed creeping away fram the asphyxia of death which surrounded it, It was scantily clad in a woollen jacket and striped skirt of cotton stuff. Next to this lay the mother, enctente, with a Placid and listless look, She wore a dingy dreasing gown of purple color ana a grey serge underdress, She was about twenty-eight years of age. Next to this woman, and on the out- side of the bed, lay another—a sister named Susan Sandor, She wore a marron colored dress and a black and white bliaid shawl. Her face was red and her nostrils and mouth were covered with blood, evidently the effects of snffoca- tion. It was one of the most horrible spectacles one can imagine, and even the police, accustomed to every horror, retused to enter the room. FIRES. Five Stores Burned in Montreal—Two Per- sons Suffocated, MONTREAL, Jan. 30, 1871. Five stores, situated on Notre Dame strect, nearly Opposite St, Lambert's Hill, were all more or less damaged by fire on Sunday merning. Total loss about $J3,000; insurance half that amount. Four or five of the inmates sleeping over the store occu- pied by Miss Parradish as a millinery were res- cued from the upper story windows, the staircase being on fire before thgir danger was discovered.

The great iron-bridge now being conatructed over the Mississippi river at Hannibal, Mo, fs claiming great atten- tion. ‘This structure begins with an abutment in the east bank of the main channel of the river, and from thence it consists of four fixed spans of 180 feet each, one fixed span of 260 feet, one pivot draw span of 300 feet and a fixed span of 260 feet, which occur in the order nam d and an ag. Gregate length of 1,540 feet. ‘The masonry of the piers and foundation will be of the most perfect and durable charac- ter, and upon them will be placed the splendid fron super- strocture. This, being intended for both railway and high- way travel, will be 18 feet wide in the clear, With the exception of the piers and flooring the bridge will be of ‘wrought iron throughout, the top chords of the fixed spans only being of cast iron. From a detailed deseription of the new structure in a late Western paper the following Is taken:— ‘The trusses of the 180 feet spans are 23 feet hi the 260 feet spane 29 feet high and those of the span 26 feet high at the ends he respective trusses are divide? tnto panels of about feet each. They are of the pattern known as the quadrangu- lar truss, with parallel chords, inclined end braces, yertical posts and diagenal tie rods, the latter passing over two pan- elseach. The cast iron used for the top chords of the xed spang is of the best quality of Nol Lake Superior charcoa plg. The wrought iron is guaranteed to be the best obtainabie for the purpose, and js all submitted to thorough tests under & powerful hydraulic pressure; all lots from which bai se'ected ut random, shall break under n tensile strata of 60,000 pounds per aquare inch of sectional urea being con- demned. After manufacture, and before being placed in the bridge, every bar is placed under hydraulic pressure and subjected to an actual tensile strain of 20,000 pounds per souare inch, and whue under such strain is'struck several sharp blows with a sledge. If any show permanent set or any defect whatever under this treatment they are promptly condemned and returned for remanutacture.. These ch, those of feet draw fare very severe tests, and can endured only by the very best iron. ' The provision necessary tor such éiaborate tests involves great expense and care, but in no other way can equally perfect materials and work be insured. The dimensions of the various parts of the bridge are so proportioued that a pressure of 2.300 pounds per lineal foot, in addition to the weight of the bridge itself, shall bring on'no part greater strain than one-nfth of its ultimate capacity. Thus, a 250 feet span, with the flooring and tracks thereon, weighs abont ‘tons. A moving load of 21 ands per lineal foot will amount 812 tons, which 8 considerably more train of the _ heaviest locomotives, covering the enti tructure. The two togetber are 57% which is the great assumed load that can ever be sites the bridge. Th ul e factor of safety being 5, gives as th timate strength of the bridge 2,860 tons. Deducting 260 tons, the dead weight of the span ftself, leaves 2,600 tons as the ultimate capacity of the briage for live load, which is lah times the heaviest mnoving load that ean ever be piaced upon it. The amount of materials required for the work em- braced in the contract awarded to the Detroit Bridge and Tron Company, ie about as follows: 401,00) iineal foot of piling, 1,000,0°0 feo! of timber and foorlng, 10,00) tons of masonry, 10,000 tons rip-rap, 4,000 tons of concrete and 1,250 tons of iron, The contract price is about $5,000, aud the structure fs to be ready by the Ist of August.
