York, THE EAST BREAKING OF STRAND WIRES—LOWERING 4A PAIR OF STRANDS—4, WEEK'S) WORK, For some time the cable laying on the bridge has progressed without the slight interruptions caused by ‘the breakage of loops of wires on their passago across the river while being laid into strands, but during the latter part of last week there seemed to be a perfect epidemic of this sort of thing. It is much better that the defective wires should break oa their passage across than that they, with their flaws, should become partof the cables. From laying the strands at that great elevation, und under that great tension, it 1s absoluteiy certain that any flaw or weakness will be discovered by breakage, The breakage in each case only causes a sthppage of some fifteen minutes, for the ends are geperaliy secured by the men on the cradles and then by means of ropes carried along the footbridge, being gradually wound back ov to the drum until the ends reaches the Brooklyn anchorage, A north- ernmost wire on the Otth pair of upstream strands, broke on Friday afternoon, on the river span noar the New York tower, and one of the ends falling into Soath sireet by @ liquor store rather astoaiahed a goat and» man who stood near, One also uncoupled on the Brooklyn tand span the same afternoon, On Saturday ove broke from, a detective equpling on. the river span just beyond the Brooklyn tower, One otber coupiing became loose on Saturday, and a wire over toward New York broke short off trom a twistor xink, No accidents, fortunately, occurred trem these breakages, Ou ¥riday, at hall seven v’clock P. M., a water main at the third excavation, at the Brooklyn up- proach, burst, flooding the excavation with some eight fect of water, Which was tukeo out by the largo dirt bucket worked by the cranes. STKAMD LOWEMING AT THE ANCUORAGKS. qT letting down from the pomuen they occupy while being laid, or lowering of the Ofth pair of down-stream strands, was partially uccompiisbed on Saturday by the letting ous of the shoes from sheir temporary position on the Jeg to their places where they are pinned between the anchor bars, This operation being a very nice and delicate pioce of prac- tica! engineering work, in view of the grout size of the wire strands handled, merits a word of description, That great care had to be tukeu is suown by the tact sual daring the Orst “letting out,’’ which, with ail the strauds, lakes place from tbe Urooklyn achoraze, tue strain is some nty-live tons oo each strand. When the strands are lowered irom the New York anchorage RIVER BRIDGE. the sirain 18 some twenty tons less, duo to the jetting out from the Brooklyn side, dhe wires of the while being laid, ene are passed around a sho ped like a horseshoe Magnet, 10 which a groove is let in to the outside, in which the wires lay. ‘he strand being fluished the Just end Of wire 16 joined to the first, forming @ con- tinuous line of wire in the strand.

Every part of the apparatus used bas been cureiuily tested as to strouyth to prevent such a gutustrophe, On Monday iorenoon strands were lowered from the rollers above the saddles on which they rested on the Brooklyn tower to the suddle below, aud ua Tuesday » similar operation was performed on the New York tower. This 1s done by meaus of a scrow windlass let into a floor above the saddle and to the lower end of which 1s attached a yoke which lifts the strand. the fifth pair of up-streum strands were fluished yeaterday forenoon, and the wrapping immediately commenced. The dual regulation of the fiith pair of down stream strands waa completed tn the afternoou, the north most being taken up two and three-quarter inches by the insertion of segments and the southernmost two inches. ‘he work on the approaches movin: adily, and on Thursday ground was opened for the excavation for the jourtb pier of the Brooklyn approuch, and next week the work on the York streot piers will be commenced, These will support a piate wirder bridge of some seventy ieet span.

Mr, Talmage lectured last night on “The Relations of the Secular Newspaper and the Pulpit.’ Among tbe Fecent events, said he, is the assault made by « por- tion of the religious preas on the secular press, because of the Munday publication of sermons.

It is generally admitted that euch paper has at least five readers—cach copy, I mean. It is within bounds to say that the Monday morning und evening papers of our cities Put into the hands of this nation 10,000,000 relig- fous tracts, 10,000,000 discourses of God, of the soul, of the Kternal Word; 10,000,000 attacks upon Inquity; 10,000,000 defences Of the truth. What a stupendous achievement, which 1s yet to have its first Puvlic acknowledgment on the part of the Church of God, unless my remarks to-night be taken as an ac- knowlodgmont, Sometimes ecclesiastical courts pass resolutions commendutory of some sectarian organ made of scissors apd gum arabic, with a circulation of 4,000; but where is the ecclesiastical recognition of these 10,000,000 utterances of evory Monday, which, during the course ol @ year, maltip! by ify-two, become 520,000,000 utterances. It is beyond all bu- mad calculation or human imagination, The very ob- Jection made to it is the argumont in favor of such publication, Ik is said thas this newspaper babit mixes worldly business and religion, One column ol sermons, the next of monetary report; ove column of argu § on immortality, the nex: op a horse race; oue article adefence of the family institunon, the Lext a miserable @vorce case.

Ob, you say the cue! persons connected with the re members of churches, elders, deucons, superintendents of Sunday schools, rymen, Yes, but they stood their relig- ton in one piace and their business in another place.
