the oentraotora, and they have tamed It
aver te the PennaylranUraltread company.
The south .track baa been laid acreaa the
atrueture and the flrat trttute paaa ever It wad

time was 10:30 Wednedy forenoon. After,
that all outbound tralea used the track.
The north track ha net yet been completed
and weatern bound tralna are mlng the
track en the temporary bridge. A large
' foree of men are at work putting down the
track, which wilt be laid and ballaatad In a
few daya ; after which the largeat and beat
atone bridge owned by the railroad com
pany en it entire line will be, In general
U1P.
i'er a long time the railroad company;
had contemplated the ereotien of a bridge
entirely of atone at this point There were
aeveral roaaena for this, and the principal
one were that atone brldgea are mere
durable and less liable .te audden aecldent
than theae of Iren, as the latter meat be
examined very often. Stene brldgea, alto,
when once ereeted, need but little atten-:
t tlen or repairs..
The iron bridge, thelplace of which the
'present one taken, waa Greeted In the years
1801 and. 1805. Frorieaa' te that time there
had been a wooden bridge at thla point.
The iron work was. furnisbed by the Key
atone bridge company of Pitt) burg and the
masonry, which inelnded two plera and
substantial wing walls, was done by the
railroad company.
Last June Master Carpentor W. K. Beard
began the erection of a temporary structure
across the creek just north of the bridge,
which waacempleted en Sunday, August
7th. On that day,' In the presence et at
least 6,000 people, the lroapartef the bridge
waa removed , te this flame work. The,
bridge was 330 feet in length, but It waa'
moved In the short apace of iSmlnutea. In
something ever an hour afterwarda the
rails bad been connected and tralna were
runnleg across as nsuil. They continued
te pass ever It entirely until Wednesday
merniDg. The removal of the iron work
seemed te be a great undertaking, but it
was successfully done by Mr.Beard and his
large corps or valuable assistant?.
When the contract was given te Keller
Gell te erect the new bridge every one
knew that the Jeb would be one et the best
that cenld be made, as the Arm la aatbor aatber aatbor
eughly reliable one, having much expe
rience in work et this kind. The publle in'
general were glad that the .work was given
otea home Arm. - -
Aa Boen as trains began running evor the
temporary bridge the contractors went te'
work. They lest no time and the construe-,
tlen of the bridge progressed uninterrupt
edly all wlDter. Ne steps were made for
bad weather and 11 has been' aeveral weeks
alnee the stone work was completed. The
brldge is net only one of the most substan
tial te be found anywhere In this country,
but It 1 a beautiful piece of work and re-,
fleeld great credit upon the popular firm
that constructed it.
THE DIMENSIONS OP THE WOUK.
A doserlptlOD et the bridge will no doubt
beet great Interest te the reader. Its entire
length Is 320 leet and 8 Inches; and the
width en the top Is SO feet. Underneath It
la somewhat less. It Is made entlrely of
atone and has tlve arobes or spans, each et
whtch measures 51 feet md 0 Inches across.
The rise from the springing line it 27 feet
and 3 Inches te the top et the arch. The ring
atone are 32 Ineh'es In depth,and the'dlstance
from the top of 'the area te the top of the
coping is C2 Inehes. The whole distance
from the water te the top the bridge Is 61
feet. It will be remembered that the old
bridge bad two piers. The ene en the west
bank of the stream was tern down ; the
ether waa used in the present structure, aa
well as the old whig walls. The new
bridge has tour piers, Bad, counting from
the west aide, the old ene is the third. The
first and second plera are in the stream te
the depth of six or seven feet and the
fonndatlenajwere laid by means of coffer
dams. The foundatlena of these piers, aa
well as the ether new one, are made suffi
ciently wide for four traekp. It is believed
that It will net be many years until the
entire bridge la made for four tracks. Fer
this reason only the north side of the struc
ture blu bean finished, but the ssuth side
has teen left rugged and rough, ae that It
can be finished for four tracks whenever It
la deemed advisable or necessary.
IVHRllE TUB MATE 1U AT, OAMB FROM,
The piers of the bridge are made entirely
of limestene, which came Trem WItmer'a
quarry at Iieaman Place. The arches and
north aide finish are of mountain sandstone,
whleh waa brought from a quarry owned
by the contractors at Ciceela, Clearfield
county. Tiie limestone baeklng was taken
from Ex-SherluTTomllnten'a quarry, which
la tome dlatance up the stream, above the
brldga
Prem the springing line te the coping
there are 22 oeuraea of sandstone, and in the
plera there are 17 courses et limestone.
There are 67 courses of sheeting in the ring.
The atones are 32 Inches in depth and al
most uniform In alzp. The coping en the
top of the bridge is fifteen lnehea In depth
and beneath this are two ten-Inch ceuraa
eicU of which projeet four incher. The
abutments are 11 feet long en the east side
and 4 feet 7 inches en the west side.
Set In the sand atone, just ever the first
pier and near the top 'et the bridge, la a
piece el plain white jnnrble, about two feet
aquare, whleh waa tarnished by llaldy A
Sen. On It in black letters are these werda
"Built 1S77, W. H. Brown, chief engineer,
W. O. Bowles, assistant engineer, Keller &
Ocll, contractors."
The bridge la provided with iron pipes,
which project from the north' wall, near the
top; these are te carry oil the water, which
may gather en tne read bed. Heme idea of
the amount of work drne at the bridge can
be had Irem these figurer. In the atruo atrue
ture there are 5,400 cntta yards of atone; 1, 100
yards of which are in the rings alone.
Over 500 car leads of material was used In
the construction et the bridge. Itreqnlred
ever 200,000 feet et lumber in making the
centres in the construction of the arcbea.
While the work was In progress from CO
te 75 men, most of whom are residents e
Lancaster, were given employment. Th'
contractors spent much of their time at the
work, and they had an excellent foreman
In Casper Rett. Ue in a big-hearted, good geed
natured and intelligent German, whose
home Is In Heck vlllc, Dauphin county. Be

work, and haa bad many yeara of experi

Keller A Gell an th contractera.
The work en the new bridge of court
was den under the supervision of
Chief Engineer W. H. Brown, of th
Pennsylvania railroad. W. O Bowles, as
sistant engineer, had charge et th con
tract and Samuel K. Slaymaker, son of
City Regulator Slaymaker, waa the engi

en th enterprise and aagaclty of the rail
road company 1 the efficiency of lta engi
neers and the skill, fidelity and expe
rience of the contractera and builder.
It la a notable coincidence that thla par

New there are two brldgea across tha
Oonestega, within a mile of eaeh ether, that
cannot be, surpassed anywhere, for their
purposes. They are both of atone, atreng
and substantially built. WItmer'a bridge,
which cresses the ereek at Potts' hotel, en
the Philadelphia turnpike, la the best read
brldga in the country, and It waa ereeted
ever one hundred yeara age. In that time
the repairs te it have been very few. Th
new railroad bridge Is a fit companion te It
and our people have geed reason te be
proud of both.
The first brtdge seresa the Coneatega at
the point where the new one has been put
up was erected by the state, whleh then
owned the railroad, about 1831. It waa
entirely et frame and covered, like the
present day brldgea en our county reads.
At the east end of the bridge waa a long
embankment Twe watchmen were kept
upon the bridge almost constantly te pro pre pro
uent Dre, but despite their vigilance U waa
burned en April 4, 1851, It caught from a
apark whleh fell from a locomotive. The
fire began near the west end and in a short
time the atrueture waa one sheet of flame.
There was a atreng wind blowing at the
time and all efforts te extinguish
the tare proved fruitless. In leas
than an .hour nothing waa left of
the bridge but the abutmenta. The
,flre occurred just at the time the spring
trade bad fairly opened, and when an im
mense amount et bnalnesa in travel and
transportation was being done. Arrange
ments were at once made te have passen
gers and their; btggage carried across the
creek, and a temporary atrueture waa
Boen erected. The state authorities at once
made all necessary arrangements and It waa
net long until the bridge was erected 1 It
was replaced In 1805.
Pajiiitylvatil. Company OrTeia Mera Wages.
The; management et the Pennsylvania
company in Pittsburg en Wednesday
morning replied te the request of the men
for an increase of wager. The reply is te
the effect that the pay of empleyes of the
Fert Wayne read and Its branches west of
Alliance is Increased ten cents per trip.
This will raise the wages of conductors
from (1.85 te f 1 05, brakemen from (1 80 te
(1 90 and flagmen from (1.00 te (2. There la
no lncrense en the Pittsburg division, but
the men will be allowed, ever time after
nine hours' work per day. In the Pittsburg
division conductors will receive twenty
five cents per hour or a fraction thereof,
and brakemen fifteen cents per hour ever
time.
The cause of the long conference waa that
the company was trying te arrange the dif
ference en a mileage basic, but owing te
the different ratea en the varleua divisions
no satisfactory conclusion was reached.
The empleyes will meet oltber at Crestline
or Alliance, O., te decide whether tbey will
accept the terms or net. It Is thought that
the advance will be satisfactory.

of ether parties ; don't remember for whom
Michael waa watcher ; he waa In and out
two or three times ; I de net knew hew
