8 A WONDERFUL WORK. The Long Cantilever Bridge Over the Forth River at Edinburgh, A TBIUMPH OF ENGINEERING SKILL. One and FiTe-Eijhths Miles in Lenjth, and so Strongly Built That IT WILL 6USTAIX 18,000 TOXS BDEUEN The Forth bridge at Edinburgh, which is to be opened to-morrow with great ceremony, is justly regarded as one of the greatest tri umphs of modern engineering skill. One of the assistant engineers who worked upon the great strncture contributes to Chambers' Journal of February 22 the following ac count of the bridge. The briefest glance at the map of Scotland abund antly evidences the raison d'etre of the gigantic structure across the Firth of Forth, whose successful completion has just marked so important an era in the annals of engi neerinr. Various nroiects had from time to time been mooted for the bridging of the firth, but were one by one abaudoned. In 1881, however, the North British, Great iforthern, Northeastern, and Midland llail way companies, being anxious to attain di rect communication to the north of Scotland, which should enable them to compete with the west coast companies for this traffic on equal if not more favorable terms, instructed their respecting consulting engineers. Sir John Fowler, K. C. M. G., the late Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Barlow to report on the matter. On the 4th May, 1881, these engineers submitted a joint report, the result of pro longed consultations, unanimously agreeing that the steel cantileTer bridge designed fay Sir John Fowler and Mr. B. Baker fulfilled all the necessarv conditions, and was the least expensive and most suitable design for bridging the Firth of Forth. The Forth Bridge Kailway Company accordingly ap pointed Sir John Fowler and Mr. B. Baker as engineers for the undertaking; and by the close of 1882 the con tract was let to the combined firm of Messrs. Tancred, Arrol & Co., who forth with commenced active operations. WHAT A CANTILETER IS. Before passing to the building of the structure and the many points of interest therewith connected, we propose briefly to deal with the principle of the cantilever and the general leatures of the bridge itself. The word 'cantilever,' which denotes a bracket, is becoming rapidly popularized. In the Forth bridge, as will be seen from the annexed diagrams, the brackets are double, being placed back to back and fastened together. No better illustration of the cantilever principle can be given than that of Mr. Baker's 'human cantilever' namely, two men sitting on chairs, with extended arms, and supporting the same by grasping sticks butting against the chairfi In the Forth bridge the chairs must be imagined to be placed a third of a mile apart, and the men's heads to be 3C0 feet above the ground. Their arms are repre sented by huge steel lattice members, and the sticks or props by steel tubes 12 feet in diameter and one inch and a quarter thick. No novelty is claimed for the cantilever system. It is, as a matter of fact, a prehis toric arrangement, as illustrated in the stone corbel and lintel combinations found in the earliest Egyptian and Indian tem ples. Passing on to the leading dimensions of the Forth bridge, the total length ot the structure is 8,290 feet, or nearly 1 miles; and there are two spans ot 1,710 feet, two of C80 feet, 15 approach viaduct spans of 1C8 Jeet, four granite arches of 37 leet span on the south shore; with three arches of similar construction and 25 feet span at the corresponding northern abutment. A clear headway of 150 feet at high water spring tides is allowed. The extreme height of the structure is 361 feet above high water, the greatest depth of the foundations being about 90 feet below the same level. HUGE TILES OF MASONKY. The main masonry piers, three in number, situated respectively on the south shore, on the island of Inchgarvie (an island fortuit ously placed midway between the two deep channels), and on the Fife shore, consist each of a group ot four masonry columns of concrete or rubble faced with cranite, and 49 feet in diameter at the top by 36 feet high; resting cither on solid rock, as in the case of the Fife and two northern Inch garvie piers; or on caiss6ns filled with con crete, as in the case of the two southern Inchgarvie and the Queensferry piers. The masonry abutments at each end of the bridge call lor no special remark, and may be here dealt with. Their dimensions have already been given. The founda tions were in the dry, and presented no features of difficulty. The piers and arches were built of granite brought from the well-known quarries at Aberdeen direct to the site by sea. Upwards ot 21, 000 tons of cement, 707,000 cubic feet of granite, and 117,000 cubic feet of masonry and concrete were employed in the founda tions and piers; while no less than one million cubic feet of timber were used for temporary purposes. AVhile the foundations and masonry had been proceeding, steady progress had been maintained in the workshops in preparing the materials for the can tilevers. "Visitors to South Queensferry swh. general View of the orWt jsrlagc will recall to mind tbe admirablee qnip nient of the workshops and girder-yards and the interesting methods of dealing with the steel plates and bars. DIFFICULTIES OF THE WOBK. It is beyond tne limit of tbe space at our disposal to deal with tbe plant employed in manipulation -of the girder-work in any detail; suffice it merely to point out that from the 800 ton hydraulic bending press, employed fcr bending the plates forming the tubes, down to the smallest tool, the latest and most ap proved machinery was adopted, a large quantity of it being specially designed for the work. Tbe drill roads with tbeir ad mirable plant will be recollected, where the various members were fitted together, drilled, and then taken down, to be subse quently re-erected in situ. It is unnecessary to do more than men tion the numerous offices, stores. dwelling houses, etc., located for the work. The requirements and organiza tion of a vast staff of men numbering at one time over 4,000 for the carrying out of such an undertaking will be readily ap parent to our readers. The erection of the so-called vertical tubes over the main piers formed the first stage qfter the completion of the bed plates and ikew backs. These columns are 12 feet in diameter and 343 feet high. They were bnilt to a height of about 30 feet by means of ordinary cranes supported on timber stag ing. The remainder of their erection was performed from a platform, which, elevated by means of hydraulic lifting presses work ing inside the columns, was carried up with them. The platform, which was raised about 16 feet at a lilt, carried with it all necessary cranes, rivet furnaces, etc, in addition to shelters for the men. Access to tbe plat form was gained by means of cages, similar to those employed in mines, and actuated in a like manner by winding-engines; all ma terial, etc, being similarly wound up to the platform ready for erection. The riveting of the work was performed by snecially designed machines, worked by hydraulic power; tbe rivets, of which there GfigCZdtfEJ I ft ' i3 mini J t-J-- . i rtWs- " are no fewer than 8,000,000 in the entire structure, being heated in furnaces burning refuse oil, a novelty which has proved so successful that its use is now largely adopted. THE SUPEE-STEUCTUKE. The erection of the vertical columns being completed in six months, the top member connecting them (see fig. 2) was duly built into position on tho platiorm, now resting on the summit of the columns. Meanwhile, the bottom members, formed of tubes vary ing in diameter from 12 teet to 6 feet, were carried out on either side by means of a crane secured to a movable groundwork, which traveling along the tube itself lollowed up the erection. The top members and the upper portions of the struts and ties were erected by means of special cranes traveling along the top mem bers themselves. The material, already fitted, drilled and in some cases also par tiallv riveted up in the workshops on shore, was brought in steam barges to tbe ends or the cantilevers, and by means of tbe cranes already enumerated, speedily transferred to their final position in the structure. Various methods were proposed for the erection of the 350 feet central span joining the arms of the cantilevers; that finally adopted being to build it out from each end, cantilever fashion, with the requisite temporary supports, until a junction in the middle was effected. The southern central girder was closed on Octo ber 10, 1SS9; that over tbe northern channel on the 7th of November following. IWESIT ACHES OF BRIDGE. The 54,000 tons of steel employed in the Forth bridge is that known as mild steel, and was made on the open hearth or Sie mens-Martin process. Two qualities were ".' t-U -,r-V One of the Cantilevers. emploed, one to resist tensile and the other compressive strains; having strengths re spectively of 30 to 33, and 34 to 37 tons per Equare inch in tension. Under the combined circumstances of the most adverse conditions for the stability of the strncture, the maximum rolling load, and the fiercest hurricane, the strain will never exceed 7 tons per square inch, and in some parts considerably less; it will readily be perceived how ample is the margin of safety allowed. The changes resulting from variations of temperature have of necessity to be allowed for, and in so large a structure they are considerable an inch for every 100 feet being arranged for in expansion and con traction, the space over the whole length of the structure gives for this purpose no less than 7 feet. For each pier and cantilever, with part of tbe connecting girder which it has to carry, 18 inches of play have been designed. The surface of the bridge requiring to be kept painted is no less than 20 acres; while the rivets employed it laid end to end would cover about 3S0 miles in length; and the plates used in tbe construction would extend a distance of over 44 miles. TESTED -WITH LOADED TRAINS. The structure was tested by the engineers on the 21st of January of this year by plac ing on the center of the two 1,700 feet main spans, two trains, each made up of 50 loaded coal wagons, and three of the heaviest en gines and tenders; the total load thus massed upon tbe span being the enormous weight of 1,800 tons, or more than double that which the bridge will ever in practice be called upon to sustain. The results at tained were most satisfactory in every re spect, and in exact accordance with the calculations of the engineers. Three days later, the first passenger train was driven across the structure by the Marchioness of Twecddale. The formal opening ceremony is fixed for the 4th of March, and will be performed by His Itoynl Highness the Prince of Wales. The approach lines in connection with the Forth bridge are rapidly nearing comple tion and consist of lines between "Winchburg and Dalmeny, giving direct access to the bridge from Glasgow, and between the bridge and Edinburgh. On the north side, Inverkeitbing is being directly connected with the bridge and Burntisland with In verkeithing. Varions shorter linet and widenings are being carried ont, and the Glenfarg Kailway is being pushed forward to completion. In conclusion, we may add that the Forth bridge and the approach lines will, it is con fidently anticipated, reduce the journey from Edinburgh to Perth or Dundee from two and a half hours to little more than one hour. In the same manner the run from Edinburgh to Aberdeen should be made in three and a half hours instead of four and a half or five; and that to Inverness in six and a half instead ot eight, hours, while on the journey from London to the north of Scot land a saving ot an hour or an hour and a half may be anticipated.

PITTSBURG PHIL ON ENGLISH EACING ICORRESrONDENCE OT THE DISrATCII. J New 1'okk, March 1. Mr. Aronson, proprietor of the Casino Opera Company, is a man, who, it is said, never holds a losing card in that miniature arcadia of his. He is a genial good fellow after hours, and I was a member of a party gathered in the Casino Cafe recently when the young director was "talking shop." Among a great many other things the Pittsburg theater question came up, and upon this subject Mr. Aronson said: "Pittsburg is one of the best towns to patronize our class of amusements in the country. Everybody seems to like light opera there, bnt the facilities the two theaters have for the com panies rendering an attraction successfully, is simply appalling. I speak more particu larly ot the dressing rooms provided for the performers. I am not so mercenary that I would not accent offers outside of New York j tor engagements, but I will not jeopardize my interests by tlissatisheci singers; rnaue so by being subjected to provincial stage ad juncts in a large opera house or place of amusement. "Actors, and especially opera singers, are very fastidious in their makeups, and they want to show to the best advantage in order to enhance their value as professionals! and why shouldn't they? The more attrac tive tbey are the more in demand they are, and, naturally, larger salaries are the re sult A MODERN THEATEE NEEDED. "By all means, you Pittsburgers should have a new theater, with all .he modern ac commodations, and I am sure the projector and the stockholders would not go wrong in realizing upon the investment." "I was walking down Broadway yester day afternoon just when the rush ot out door humanity was at its highest tide. In front ot Daly's Theater some workmen were engaged in fixing the electric lights over the theater entrance, and a long ladder was ex tended from the sign to beyond the middle of the sidewalk. There was' perhaps lour feet space from where the two uprights touched the pavement to the curb, and those four feet were scrupulously given the prefer ence by the superstitious surge of people. My friend and I, not that we were fearful of some ill, followed in the wake ot our prede cessors, and walked around the ladder. With his customary suavity of manner and cordiality, Captain Sam Brown stood In the rotunda of the Hoffman House yester day and greeted his many New York ac quaintances. I approached him on matters pertaining to his stables. He came over to see trainer Rogers about the jumpers which will be entered in the leading turf events next season. STABLES OF FINE STOCK. "I really can't give you much informa tion," said the Captain, "as I have not seen Mr. Rogers yet. However, from what I learn by letter the horses which are under his supervision up at Morris Park are in prime condition. I have 22 head up at the park, among them Reporter and Sonorita, both 'Suburban' and Brooklyn handicap starters. Ai my Kentucky farm I have many a fine youngster, which will vie with the best ones in a season or so. I also have a few upon the river farm, near Browns ville. I had a very successful season last year, and if I have the same luck this year there will be no reason to complain." The Captain said that the coal business had been extremely lax for over a year, and the river shippers were heartily discouraged. He attributed it to the non-demand for fuel in the Southern manufactories. "We can't complain about rivers just now," said he. "There is enough water to float an ocean steamer going right by tbe Monongahela House. In Cincinnati the whole river front is inundated. As for Pittsburg iron busi ness I never knew a better era pi prosperity in that line, and if the coal trade had been half so good we shippers could sit down and feel comfortable in our offices." The Captain left for home this evening. A quiet, pale faced young fellow stood amid a group of sports in the Sturtevant House last night. He was the cynosure of alt, and his conversation was figuratively picked from his lips, and deposited in the deepest pocket of thought ot the listener. It was Pittsburg Phil. George Smith, as he is known to his Pittsburg associates, is known all over where horse racing is in dulged in, and many is the "booky" who can attribute much of a season's losses to tbe good judgment of Phil. He has just re turned from an extended tour of Englaud and the Continent, where he closely ob served the foreign races and the manner of the betting contingent. I asked what he thought of the English sports and their racing. "Well," said he, "I was very much pleased with them all, over there, and I was .royally treated by people who had heard of some of my betting streaks. There is a chance to win some money at an English track, but there would be still better op portunity if they played the horses 'for form,' which they do not. They have more jumping races than we have, and the dis tance run is never below a mile and three eighths and as high as one and seven-eighths aud two miles. I rather like this method, for it gives the student of horse who is there for a livelihood, a chance to size an animal up as to his staying qualities. You've got to make a note of all these things, and my plan is to watch first, second and third horses in each race, and note their condition at the finish. This does me many a good turn at some future date. See? BETTING AND WINNING. "The English people are heavy betters, especially the swell or titled owners of run ners. I tell you it would be great 'graft' for the boy who could stay right there and plunge a little upon his knowledge of the horses and race track. Just the same rule prevails there as here, that 'the winner doesn't always win,' and so it is the world over in the racing countries. America is quite good enough for me, but I will return to England again, perhaps, to attend the Derby in April. I am going out to Pitts burg to see my folks, after which I will re turn to prepare for the summer races. This is going to be a hangup season, judging from the youngster debuts to be made in equine social circles, and I look forward to it with great anxiety." Billiards are the proper thing just now, having been stimulated by the tournament now in progress in Chickering Hall. All the crack cuesnien are competing, with Schaefcr a good favorite. He is a funny little German, who can tell a good story and keep a party of friends interested all even ing. He was sitting in Nick Engle's last night, relating some of his exploits in years gone by. He said: "About 12 vears ago I landed in Pittsburg with 512 50 in my pocket. A friend of mine was with me and he hadn't a cent. We had come all the way from Leavenworth.

V0GELER CO., Baltimore, M, PITTSBURG DISPATCH, was a dead rabbit, and we had to come East to make a stake. I got a room for 52 CO a week and started out on the town to look for something resembling money. Naturally I drifted into a billiard establishment. Well, I was a sight, and just looked like a jay from the lumber regions of Michigan. I wore a slouch hat, flannel shirt, no collar, pants in my boots, and a musty odor about my whole outfit. The place I first went in proved to be the most frequented by sporting classes, who were willing to bet on anything. It was called the 'White House,' I saw a gentleman rolling the balls arouod carelessly, whom I challenged to a game. He sized me up and winked significantly to some of the bystanders, who as much as said: 'Get on to the jay.' The gentleman I had approached was Mr. Davis, of Davis & Dodd's billiard parlors. He was considered the second best player in Pittsburg, his partner being his superior. HIS OITONENT SUEPKISED. "My offer was accepted, with the agree ment that Mr. Davis give me a single dis count. AVe banked, and of course he beat me. The next game was the same for the drinks which I also lost. I finally be came mad and said: 'I'll play you for 55 if you double discount me.' 'Certainly,' said my opponent, 'Well, I had to win that game sure, which I did easily, but just leaving him enough margin to allay sus picion as to my identity. ue next was tw a side, which t also won, and so onl doubled the stakes until I was beating him at an even game. By this time a large crowd had gathered about us, and Davis, seeing he couldn't vanquish me, handed his cue over to Dodds, and I said I would play him for $100, which he accepted. Many outside bets were made, the Pittsburger being slightly the favorite. We banked, and I ran 52 points the first inning, and in the next inning ran the game out 100 points. The people were crazy, and I would hear, ever and anon, 'Who is he?' 'That's tbe Texas Wonder, sure 1' 'No, it's Slosson I' and such little side talk. "I took several hundred dollars out of the town, paid for my room and went to New Orleans, where I worked the same racket. There I would have won a billiard room from a fellow, had his partner not come in and stopped him playing. I went to St. Louis from there, and made a few dollars there. One funny incident happened: I was pitted against a big traveling man, who was looked upon as the custodian of bil liards in St. Louis. He was a swelled-head sort of a fellow, but wouldn't play for a stake, so I proposed for the drinks. He assented, and I beat him very handily. 'Who the devil are you?' he asked me, 'I'm Slosson,' said I. He laughed and said: 'Well, you got none the best of me. I am Schaefer; como on for another game.' It was great sport for me while it continued, but they finally got on to me and my business was killed." Among the Pittsburgers I see in the city are J. K. Verner, Charles H. Read, Hugh Fleming, L. D. Fleming, of Allegheny, who sailed for tbe Bermudas Friday. John Lynch, the Uniontown merchant, is at the Hoffman. Manager Harry Davis, of tbe London Theater, was here this week secur ing attractions for the season of 1890, such as pedestrians and boxers for his popular little resort. Thomas D.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It Is therefore singular that those afflicted with this fearful disease should not make it the ob ject of their lives to rid themselves of it. De ceptive remedies concocted by ignorant pro tenaers to medical knowledge have weakened tho confidence of the great maiority of suffer ers in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to a life of misery rather than torturo themselves with doubtful palliatives. But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at every stage and combated with all our might. In many cases tne disease has assumed danger ous symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose, the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated, tho throat so inflamed and irritated as to produce a constant and distressing cough.

My catarrh, which had troubled me so long, had begun to affect my lungs, and they pained me very much, especially when X coughed or raised up the offensive discharge which seemed to so nil up my windpipe and bronchial tubes, that I found it often difficult to breathe. I coughed moro or less both day and night. It would often hurt me to breathe, my breath became short, and 1 felt a tight op pressive feeling in my lungs. I often felt a pain in my left side. My food wonld sour on my stomach, giving me a full, uncomfortable feeling after eating, with belching ot gas. My hands and feet were cold and clammy. 1 could not walk any distance, or up a hill without getting out of breath. I had many other aches and pains and also suffered from those diseases peculiar to womon. In fact, 1 grew weaker and weaker until I felt as if I did not care whether I lived or died, as I would be an in valid the remainder of my life. I tried several doctors, but I found no relief.

Such stocks as ours need no blow and bluster, no fuss and feathers to back them up. On the merit of the goods and prices alone we ask your patronage. If you're an expert of clothing, so much the better for us. If you're a keen observer of the various details of a Garment: Sew ing, Trimming, Buttonholes, General Finish, Fit, etc., you'll not leave without buying. If you're a judge of good values, we'll not have any trouble in making a sale. First and foremost come our- natty English Sack and Box Spring Overcoats for Young Men. They come in a handsome variety of light and dark shades, cut extremely and medium short. Prices range from $1 50 to $25. Then, the regular Fly-front and Prince Charles style Spring Over coats are here in hundreds of fashionable designs and textures. For conservative and genteel dressers they will just fill the bill. Prices for them range from $6 to $25. SPRING OVERCOATS FOR BOYS AND CHILDREN These are not light-weight winter Overcoats (carry the news to the dealers), but garments expressly made for and possessing all the freshness and vigor of the spring season. They are extremely nobby and dressy, and are all the rage among the "upper ten" of the East at present. Prices range from $3 to $12. SATCHELS: A more extensive assortment of these traveling requisites cannot be found in the State. Why, we actually show more than the various ex clusive trunk stores in this city' put together. Our low prices do the rest Can you wonder at our big trade ? KAUFMANN R Fifth Avenue and Smithfleld Street. ttAIT.ROADS.
