THE New Orleans Delta tells the follow
ing, at which the President will doubtless
laugh aa aheartily as any one:
One Of ofthesricl,cst things on record in the
shape Of a bull come before the Presi,lcn,
about four weeks ago. 1t appears that the
owners OF the steamer Franklin Pierce actu-
tually pettioned Congress, praying that
body TO allow them TO change the name of
said boat, alleging as the reason that she
had run into such bad repute, and ha! met
withS such bad luck since naming her
franklin Pierce, that it was absolutely nee
essary to change her name before they could
expect tomake any kind of good trips with
her.-Well, n special act Of Congress was
passed for their benefit, and the bill, Of
course, had to. receive the signature Of the
President, which it did after great deal OF
delay and tropble, and the new Texana left
our wharf last evening forsS Louis with q
fifsErate freight, being The first, the Captain

TRIAL OF THE RAILROAD BRIDGE A bout
z O'Clock last evening, the locomotive Sam'l
Gaty, OF twenty-five tons weight, was pass
ed over the Ohio aud Mississippi railroad
bridge across the Wabash river. This was
the first. time an engine passed over it, and
quite a large crowd of people (probably 5000
or $1,000 assembled to witness the event
The tender with one platform car attached,
was crowded with men and boys highly de-
lighted with the excitement. As the engine
moved upon the bridge, three cheers were
given and cannon fired in honor of the event.
The train moved steadily and. safely over the
bridge, not tie least motion or swaylng Of
the timbcrs being perceptible.
The bridge, with draw of about seventy
five feet, is about eight hundred feet in length,
resting upon four piers. It vas built by
McCallum, Brunbridge & &C., upon plan
known as McCaIlun's patent. It is un-
doubtedy very substantial piece Of work,
and reflects great credit upon MIR. Gardner,
who superintended its erection.

The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1855-07-03

OF Our old friend Nathan Rcwley, Esq =,
the best exemplifcaton of "Young Ameri-
ca in Evansville, went right to work yester-
day morning clearing away the ruins of his
blown down houses, preparatory to at once
rebuilding. The fronts to the second story
will be saved, and a good deal of the materi-
al can be used again. Messrs. Altering &
Burners estimate of the loss of their house,
set down at 5000, is an entire over estm-
ate, or else Mr. Rowley's is just as great a n
under estimate. And yet the Squire says he
can rebuild for less than $4,000.
