DEATH OF THE DUKE OF RICHMoND.-The
Lord of the Goodwood races is dead He was
the Duke of Richmond, whose death at Lon
don, on the 2lst of October, is announced in
the late news from Europe. His grace, as pro-
prietor Of Goodwood Park, near Ohichest ter,
and as the patron Of the famous races there
Ia July of every year, is better known to the
American world than he is as one of the great
mobiles of England. His rank, lineage, and the
chief events OF his life, are summed up as fol-
lows:
Charles Gordon Lenox, Duke of Richmond,
born 179i succeeded his father, fourth Duke, in
1915 married in 1917, to Lady Caroline Paget,
daughter of the Marquis of Anglesea. He WAS
in the SEVENTEEN year of his age at the time of
his decease. The following were his titles -
i675-Duke OF Lenox, Earl Of Darnley, Baron
of Torbelton, in the Peerage of Scotland. In
the Peerage of England. 1875, Duke of Rich
mond, Earl of March, and Baron of Stettring-
ton. In the Peerage of France, 1854, Duke
d'Aubigny, he was also knight of the Garter.
He is now succeeded by his son, Charles, Earl
Of March and Darnley, born in 1918. The
Dukes seats are Gordon Castle Bannffshire 4;
Huntley Lodge, Aberdeenshire; kinrara In
veraesshire, Scotland; Goodwood Park and
Weststoke, Sussex. England. His residence
in London was 81 Portland Place. The Duke
was descended from Charles the Second of
England, the first Duke being natural soa OF
held by the late Duke Chancellor of Mares
chal College and University, Aberdeen;
Privy Counsellor, Lord Lieutenant OF Sussex,
Vice Admiral of the Coast OF Sussex, Colonel
of the Royal Sussex Militia, and Aid.de-Camp
to the q ueen.

RAILROAD BRIDGEs.-The Romans built
bridges which are now sound after twenty
centuries. We presume few would wish to
trust the ordinary class of railroad timber
bridges for tweaty years. The period is, in
deed, about the limit assigned by Mr.. Post
the former engineer of the Erie Railroad. tor
the duration of wooden bridges of the first
class. A irstclasS bridge. in Mr.. POSTS classi-
fication, is one The superstructure of which is
composed of white pine, white oak aud iron !
one of which the joints wh-n fitted are inlaid
with white lead and oil paint, and of which
the exterior is pain ted as soon as the timber is
perfectly seasoned; the seasoned checks ce
menIed, and other exposed points pre- tected
SO as almost com pleteiy to secure the timber
from the effects OF the weather and preserve
il from premature decay. Bridges built, as
they often are, Of inferior timber, with little
or no mechanical skill and of light proper
tions, may exc out from eight to fifteen years,
according to cjrcnms stances and the care be-
slowed in repairs. TrestIe bridges, costing on
an average, and aside from their foundation
masonry, about eight dollars a lineal foot for
single track, are found TO hold out for about
six years only. Stringer bridges-large timber
girders supported at The ends by masonry and
at intermediate points by braces below, rest
ing upon the abutments-cost about five dol
lars a running foot, and appear to last about
eig hi years. All these estimates are irrespec
tive OF the contingency of fire, to which all
wooden structures are constantly exposed.

days, and was attended by the most prominent
Elder Orson Hyde delivered a lengthy dis

that the South would be compelled 10 call i'll

would be compelled to call in aid from some
other quarter, and concluded by prophesyil
a great and terrible day of wrath for this
country for their injustice to the Mormons--
The Conference was the largest ever held in
the city, some thirteen thousand persons hay-
ing attended it. Judge Kinney, and Mr.. Ro-
