MOVED IT QUICKLY.
SILL CREEK BRIDGE TARRIED FORTY-FIVE
FEET OS SIMM MOMUfl.
Owr fifteen Hundred Persons Witness
the Romevul of n Heavy Structure
My Carpenters nnd Laberer.
Master Mechanic William K. Beard and
his ferce of earjienter mid laborers have
again shown themselves nble te eope with
aevere tests. On Sunday (hey moved tliu
Mill Creek bridge In twelve minute. It
Is the sumo force of men who finished 10
placlug the large bridge nt Montgomery,
the first bridge rebuilt after the June floisl fleisl
Ing, and the sauie set of men th.it en Au
gust 7th, 1887, moved the Conctega bridge.
The Couestegu bridge was D20 feet In length
ami wolghed about AM tens. It wan nieveil
In fifteen minute' time, under cr-cumstan-c3
exactly parallel with theso of Sunday,
with the exception that twenty-ene men
mere were- then employed than worked
upon this tusk.
In May last Foreman M.M. Barten began
te erect trestle work for the lomeval of tlie
bridge. He was making geed headway,
and It was expected that everything would
be in readiness te meve the bridge, by the
middle of June. .
The great floods came en and all the car
penters en this division wcre taken from
their work and put at repairing the dam
age that had been ilone by the waters. It
was six weeks before they wcre again nble
te resume work en the bridge, but once re
sumed mutters wcre pushed te comple
tion. On Saturday it was announced that
tlie -weather ticrmittlug the bridge would
be moved Immediately after Mail Xe. 1
had passed that point.
The day dawned clear, cool and as I'a I'a I'a
vorable as could be desired for the work.
At 0:30 the train bearing workmen from
this city left the station and moved cast
ward te the bridge. At euce work
was begun, finishing tip such things as It
was necessary te leave until the latest
time. Soen after the workmen anived
prople began te ceme te the sceno
from the surrounding country. They
drove there, they lode there, they
came en bicycles, and many, who had no
ether means of conveyanco, walked there.
They continued te ceme nil morning, and
when the crabs tlrst began te draw en the
ropes, the crowd numbered fully fifteen
hundred people. Thcre were men, women
and children, of all sizes and ages. They
moved about in overy direction, seeking a
geed vantage ground. Heme walked upon
the bridge Itself, but here they would have
Interfered with the workmen and Chief
Urudy, of the railroad police, and his men
were obliged te use some harsh words te
move them off. Finally the bridge was
cleared, nnd the crowd gathered about the
read en either side of the bridge, mostly en
the north side, towards which the bridge
would meve.
The read leading te the bridge for about
a half mlle in both directions wiw crowded
with tenuis tied te the fence. On the side of
the read near the bridge several hucksters
had erected (stands irem which they did n
thriving business, ministering te the
hunger and thirst of the multitude.
Tin: iminui; mevim.
All the dctnils for the moving, with the
exception of loosening the mils which
bound It fast, wcre completed when It was
announced that the mail train was ap
proaching. At 11:22 engine. e. 61, draw
ing the train, passed evor the bridge.
When the last car passed seventy men
went te work hurriedly tearing up the
rails. At 0::i0 Master Carpenter Heard
wnved his haud,uud Foreman llarteu called
te the men nt the crabs, "all right." The
crabs begun te rovelv'o, the lepes straight
end! j there was a Jerk, and the bridge was
loose.
Te these below the motion Is scarcely
perceptible, but steadily, and even swiftly,
the bridge Is moving. Fifty seconds nnd
the watch en the east end cries "thrce
feet I" Then quickly in succession foleow-tho
calls "four feet and u half!" "six
feet!" "ecven feet I " and seen, until the
watch from the west hUIe announced "111
.Uenfectl" Then It was noticed that the
east end was u little behind, and the west
crab was stepped, until the east cud had
caught up. This took only a bheit time,
and again the crabs worked in unison,
Kverythlng was moving te pel lectien, and
In seven minutes the bridge cleared the
abutments. In ten minutes it had moved
thirty-six feet. The bridge was fast near-,
ing its nev mooring, nnd all eyes here
turned toward it, te sce the completion of
the job. There were yet niue feet ever
which it must pass. Soen the veice of Mr.
Heard la heard "steady," and then again It
tails "ull right," and the job Is done. The
watch Is consulted nnd marks I): 12 just
twelve minutes from start te finish. The
bridge was moved 15 feet j four inches
further than the Couestegu bridge, and the
tiineef tlie ether bridge whs beaten tlnce
minutes.
i'l.MNIII.Wi 'im: WOllK.
The men lest no time in giabbing rails,
cutting them te the proper sizes nnd laying
them in position. Conductor A. J I. Fast
ri gilt's inistbuiind fieighttiain el forty-live
cars, drawn by class 11, commonly knew u

and class T, engine Ne. WX, ICngineer
Ham'l Welch and Fireman Wallace Kuser,
was lying just west of the bridge waiting
te jmss. They weie te test the trestle. At
J0:2U1 the signal was given and the train
moves onto the bridge. The two engines
aloue weigli ever 100 tens, but the trintiiie
scarcely trembles a the Kudcrnus train
moesecrit. It was net jet an hourfiem
the time the. blidge was loosened. The test
was made, nnd the job la success. K cry
body present was pleased. Mr. Hcaid was
tin! proudest man in Lancaster county, and
had reason te be. At 11:17 Atlantic Lx
prcss passed ever the bridge, and slnte
thin trains have been running us usual.

JACK STIMi AT LAHOK.
Daniel Cobb, arrested en suspicion of
being Jack the Peeper, was released en
Sunday. He had been confronted with
several of the persons whose houses were

Shortly after 0 o'clock this morning an
alarm of tire was struck from Hex 12, cor
ner of West King street and Penn Square,
le which the department rospemto.l
promptly.
The tire proved te be lu the book binding
establishment of Harry L. Trout, lu the
southeast angle of thu square, it originated
lu the box under Mr. Trout's table, Inte
which the shavings and clippings of paper
drop from his wetk bench.
Mr. Trout and his empleyes made every
effort te extinguish the flumes before an
alarm of lire was sounded, but wero unsuc
cessful. Several buckets of water were
thrown into the box whero the llrewns.but
no headway was made in extinguishing
the flames.
Smeke coining inn dense volume fi out
the front windows attracted a crowd nnd
willing bauds quickly removed several
valuable books belonging le customers left
thore for binding. The smeke wns se
dense that It was with difficulty that Iho
room could be entered, and several per
sons, among them Mr. Trout and Hcperter
Slaile, of the AVir AVii, wcre overcome by
the smeke nnd hud te be taken fiem the
room.
The bindery is en Ihe third lloer of (he
Hosteller building. An adjoining room is
occupied by Iho AVte Vi'm, en the second
lloer Is Iho wholesale notion stere of
Hubert J. Housten, and 011 the fiisl lloer
Is thodrygeods stem of J. Harry Slaliim.
It was fortunate that the lire was speed ly
gotten under control by Ihe llre depart
ment, for with ft little mere headway It
would have been one of the most disastrous
fires lu the history of the city.
Mr. Trout's less Is principally by water,
and Is covered by an Insurance of $2,000. In
(lie Jersey City, T. Clark Whitson agent,
there Is jl,(MHt, and lu the Providence of
Washington, icpiesented by Shenk .t
Haiisman, thcre Is ?l,0(i. Mr, Housten's
less Is entirely by water, and he saved
Iho lusuranee companies several thou
sand dollars by his prompt action.
He covcied all his goods with oil cloth
and lu thai way kept his less down le a
small figure. A large amount of wifler
was thrown Inte Mr. Trout's apartment
and the greater portion soaked through
the celling te Mr. Housten's room. Mr.
Housten's Insurance ls$8,00() In the follow
ing cempanies: Heme, of New Yerk,
$0,000, Jere Hlfe agent j Jersoy Clly, $1,000,
and Huntsman Fiienud Mnrlue, $1,600, T,
Clark Whitson ngent.
Mr. Stain in also took Iho precaution le
move his goods te the rear of his stere nnd
he nlse prevented a very serious water less.
His less will net be ever $100, and he is in
sured. The building Is owned l3 the estate of
D. H. Hosteller, aud thednmage Is net ever
a ceuple of hundred dollars. It Is Insuied
at thu agency of Shcnk V, llausman and 11.

Water slightly damaged some of the
Sen' JCm stock, but their less Is small,
L. 11. Campbell, who occupied the flint
lloer of the adjoining building, escaped
without any less.
The losses will all be paid without the
aid of adjusters. As son as the lloers are
dried se that the goods can be examined
the insurance agents will recelve the stato state stato

selling en base ball games is new in full

fact may account for seme of the " Pinny "

The game received a great setback lu ls77
en account of the troubles the Louisville

natreuized new bccitise neonle believe that
