The suspension bridge over the
Allegheny between Pittsburg and Al
legheny caught fire and was partially de
stroyed last Sunday afternoon. The
loss will reach $40,000, on which there
is no insurance, as the bridge was con
sidered fire proof. It cost $300,000
when buiit in 1859. As the largest
portion of travel between Allegheny
and Pittsburgh was overthis bridge, the
public will experience great inconveni

down a hill the palings slid forward,
throwing Mr. Robb to the road in front

ried over the treetops, with people in
them, and of solid brick buildings re
duced to heaps of rubbish by a single
blow of the tempestuous element.

—A lady who has been giving cook
ing lessons in the West says that fre
quently heavy bread is a cause of di
vorce. Any man who has found heavy
bread before him when be was expect
ing something to eat will emphatically
support the lady's statement. A man
who marries only for the purpose of
permanently securing a cook and house
keeper deserves to be fed on heavy
bread and every other indigestible sub
stance that his wife can lay her hands
on ; but the most affectionate aud un
selfish husband in the world is right in
expecting that the wife's duties in the
family partnership will be discharged
as thoroughly alike in humdrum par
ticulars and in great ones as his own.

of the very best preparations in use,
and is recommended by the regular
practitioners of nedicine. It has a large

Accompaning the list are some words

—The story of a leper secluded for
years in a house in New Orleans turns
out to be no novelist's fancy, but, only
a small part of the terrible fact. The
annual Beport of the Louisiana Board
of Health for 1880, just issued, con
tains a detailed statement of the pro
gress of the Asiatic leprosy in that
State during the last century. It was
brought in lfißo to the West Indies
by the negro slaves, and thence to
Louisia'.a. In 1778 this disease was
so prevalent among the blacks togeth
er with the African elephantiasis, and
another equally horrible, named yaws,
peculiar to Guinea negroes, that a
Hospital for lepers was established in
New-Orleans. At the present time
the majority »f lepers in that city are
found to be vßiites, of French, German
and Bussian extraction The disease
seems to be hereditary, and certain
families are known to be infected by it
and are shuned as corpses would lie,
could they walk and move and spread
about the contagion of death. The
mother of one of these families, when
the disease showed itself, was desert
ed by husband and children, and nurs
ed until her death bv a young girl
who now is a victim to it. An Italian
Catholic priest who attended cases of
leprosy in the Charity Hospital is now
dying of it in the same house. New-
Orleans, it appears, has no separate
asylum for these incurable patients,
and they are received into the Charity
Hospital and placed in the crowded
wards to scatter death. The disease
is as incurable and as contagious as in
the days of Moses. The only other
place where it exists in this continent,
we believe, is in New-Brunswick, near
the Bay of Chaleur ; the lepers there
are confined in a hospital in a lonely
spot known in the surrounding coun
try as the Valley of Hell.

Burning ol the Pittsburg .Sus
pension Itridge.
The wire suspension bridge spaning
the Allegheny river at Sixth street,
was destroyed by fire, last Suudav.
Shortly after 12 o'clock a boy told one
of the gate keepers on the Allegheny
side that the bridge was on fire, but
the man thought it was a practical joke
and paid no attention to it. Later,
Jordan, who owns a boat house near
the bridge, told Officer Hugh Bayle
that he could see fire under the bridge.
Bayle took a couple of buckets full of
water and walked out over the center
of the bridge until he saw some little
puffs of smoke issuing from the dust
holes about ten feet beyond the first
pier on the Pittsburgh side. Tiifling
fires were not uncommon on the bridge
and Bayle poured his small stack of
water down the dust hole and came
back to the office. A minute or two
more and it became evident that the
fire was not one that would yield to
paltry buckets full of water and an
alarm was struck. Ten minutes after
the alarm sounded there were 5,000
people on the river banks watching the
remarkable spectacle. The bottom of
the bridge was coated with coal tar,
and the planks were imbedded in it,
aud at a quarter of one the flames
stretched almost from one end of the
bridge to the other. It was a blood
tingling sight from the southern bauk
of the stream. There banging over
the rapidly flowing river was a great
belt of flames and smoke a fifth of a
mile long and forty feet wide. All
above the bridge was invisible from
below it. The wind blew strongly and
steadily upstream, and it carried the
SMOKE AND FLAMES
with it, and lent the fire a thousand
fold additional fierceness. To oue who
stood below it the western edge of the
bridge seemed to be the descent and
which a mighty cataract bubbling Xi
agaru broke in its uniform and steady
flow. and upper iron work
of the great structure here and there,
appeared like cobwebs hanging against
the sky, while occasionally the forms
of firemen were dimly seen as they ran
to and fro amid the danger where their
duty called them. Little streams of
molten were dropping like fiery rain
into the water, which filled the air
with its angry hisses. The fire burned
fiercely for three hours, and destroyed
all the wood work, leaving nothing but
a skeleton of iron rods. The bridge
was designed by Engineer .Jno. A.
Robeliug, of New York, who with
others, considered it fire proof. The
structure was elected in 1859 at a cost
of $30'.>,000. Twenty thousand people
passed over the bridge daily. The
stockholders drew 15 per cent, divi
dends. There was no insurance for
the reason that the Bridge company
thought the bridge could not be destroy
ed by fire. The loss will be about $40,-
000. The general theory'is that the
lire started from a spark of a steamboat
alight into gas which escaped from
leaky mains. The engineers must ascer
tain the damage done to the iron be
fore they eau form any idea as to when
the bridge will be rebuilt for traffic.
'The Cyclopedia War.'
The Cyclopedia War and the Liter
ary Revolution are working won
derful and happy results for the
readers of books, and searchers af
ter knowledge. The great "Libra
ry of Universal Knowledge," is
announced to be completed, ready for
delivery to purchasers, the early part
of July. It is probably the largest
and most important literary work this
country and the century have seen.
It is based upon Chambers's Encyclo
pedia, the last Loudon edition of
which is reprinted entire as a portion
of its conteuts, a large corps of Ameri
can editors and writers adding thereto,
a vast amount of information upon
about 15,000 subjects in every depart
ment of human knowledge. Chnm
tars's Encyclopedia, whose distin
guished merit is universally known, is
the laborious product of the ripest
British and European scholarship, but
being a work of foreign production it
has been naturally deficient in its adap
tation to the wants of American read
ers. In this new form it is most thor
oughly Americanized, and ••ecomes at
once the largest and most complete
encyclopedia iu the field, at a mere
fraction of the cost of any similar
works which have preceded it, contain
ing about 10 per cent, more matter
than Appleton's Encyclopedia at less
than one-fifth its cost, and 20 per cent,
more than.Johnson's Cyclopedia at a
little more than one-fourth its cost.
The superlativo value and impor
tance of this arreat Encyclopedia, how
ever, lies especially in the fact that it
is brought with the reach of every one
who aspires after knowledge and cul
ture. It is reall}/ a library of univer
sal knowledge, it brings a liberal ed
ucation easily within the reach of
every plow-boy. Every farmer and
every mechanic owes it to himself and
to his children that such a cyclopedia
shall henceforward form a part of the
outfit of his home. To the intelligent
man in every walk of life a Cyclope
dia is indispensable. It is issued in
various styles, in 15 large beautiful
octavo volumes, varying in price from
sls for the edition in cloth, to $25 for
the edition in full library sheep bind
ing Liberal discounts even from these
extraordinary prices are allowed to
clubs, and the publishers, besides, pro
pose during the next two months to
distribute SIO,OOO cash in special re
wards to persons who forward clubs of
five, ten, or more subscribers. The

Yesterday the final step required to
effect the consolidation of the system
ol narrow guage roads extending to
the north and west of this city was ac
complished. A meeting was held of
the leading stockholders aud their rep
resentatives in the Pittsburg and West
ern, the Pittsburg East and West road,
which was projected from this city to
Clarion, the Parker and Karns City,
the Karns City and Butler, and the
Pittsburgh, New Castle ond Lake Erie
or Pittsburg and Northwestern road
At this meeting it was unauimously
agreed to consolidate the lines, and
hereafter they will be known as the
Pittsburgh and Western Railroad Com
pany, an important link in the Wabash
system reaching out from New York to
tlie west. Yesterday morning we an
nounced that the negotiations between
Jay Gould, of the Wabash system, and
President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, had been virtually closed, by
which the line ot the Philadelphia and
Erie road will be used by the system
from Milton, Pa., to Driftwood, aud
the low grade division of the Allegheny
Yalley road, from Driftwood to Red
Bank. From that point a line will be
run across to Youngstown aud from
thence to Chicago, etc The agreement
between Jay Gould and the Pennsyl
vania road has been ratified, and there
were some doubtful individuals yester
day, who inclined to the opinion that
the big concession made by the P. 11
R. in this matter, might be based on
an assumption that the Wabash sys
tem would not enter Pittsburg. In
this respect, however, they are very
much mistaken. The argument used
with the P. R. R. people by Jay Gould
was that he would build another road
almost parallel with the non-paying
lines under their control if the}* did
not consent to the arrangement, and
they consented. We have given above
the route of the through line in this
State as far east as Milton, Pa. Now
that point the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, of which Jay Gou'd is now
principal owner, will fill in the link to
Jersey City.
The Commercial Gazette has at dif
ferent times outlined this system, and
we need only reiterate that the con
nection between the through line and
this city will be made by the Pittsburgh
and Western and the consolidated lines
alluded to at the commencement of this
article, to Butler. From that point it
will be necessasy to bu'ld a link about
forty miles in length to Red Bank, and
the Smoky City will .have another and
a shorter line to New York than the
Pennsylvania road. The western con
nection for this city will be made by a
line from Butler to New Castle and
thence up to Youngstown where they
will meet the main stem.
The work of changing the narrow
gauge roads to standard gauge, will be
commenced immediately, a third rail
being left for the narrow gauge.
The consolidation of these little roads
which have suddeuly grown to be big
ones, will necessitate a reorganization
of the management and it will take
place in the near future. A large meas
ure of the success of the negotiations
by means of which the Pitisburg and
Western has grown to such prominence
can be attributed to its President, Mr.
James Callery, who has displayed
>rreat executive ability and foresight
and to him more than any other man
in this corner of the country can be at
tributed the bringing of tho Wabash
system into the Smoky City.— Com
mercial Gazefe, June 11.
HARRISBI:RG, June 15. —Articles of

A prominent grocer in Allegheny
City, after being prescribed for last
evening by Dr. George, remarked.
"When Dr. George first announced to
the people here his New System of
Herb Medicines, I said, another hum
bug doctor—we have enough of them
now, but I amfreo to say that having
heard so much of the Do -tor's medicines
and the cures he iseffect'ng. 1 have con
cluded to be humbugged by trying
them myself."
Dr. George can be consulted free at
Reception Parlors, No. 296 Penn ave
