On being congratulated on the passage of the Broadway bridge il and informed that the peoble here were a little nervous lest in the rush of closing business it should be erowded out, he said that he had had no doubts of its vassage. He had every- thing arranged o as to get it through surely. He got an evening scs sion for the consideration of large bills, and at this session this bill was passed. After it had been amended it passed the te, and before leaving Wasnington he saw to it that the bill was duly signed, so that the charter is complete. il gt Took a Ticker.

The statement that Rock has pleaded guilty of extorting money was a mistake. He was not charged with such an offense, and much less did he plead guilty to it He was arrested for threatening to shoot Mr. Dierks, and he pleaded guilty to making malicious threats. He is said to be a very straight sort of man, and it is claimed that the circumstances which led him to muke threats were vu? aggravat- ing.
