FAILURE.-Yesterday afternoon tho
Democrats $50. called) of South Wheel
ing, with all the help they could secure
from other quarters, attempted to raise
hickory in that staid suburb. a
band from the city had been engaged
and wentsd own through the rain to
enlivsn the occasion with their dulcet
strains. Quite crowd was attracted
from various OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to
assist, others to look on. The "pig
nut" was in readiness-the "hole in the
ground prepared, and everything but
the weather seemed auspiclous. Ex-
pectation was on tiptoe, the "invisible
agency was at work, and some
enthusiasm aroused. Blocks and
falls We're placed in proper posi-
ton, strong arms seized the ropes
and everybody. expected TO see
1t go!up with a shout. But. horror
ofhorrorsl before the pole had attained
a perpendicular position, the bands
which held the several parts together,
gave way, and down came the whole
concern with crash. Fortunately no
one WINS hurt, but the sudden falling to
pieces of this Democratic shrine was,
we have no doubt, regarded by the more
thoughtful as rather ominous of the
fate which awaits their party on the
third ofENovember next.

BRIDGE AT BENwooD.-Work on the
railroad bridge at Benwood is progress
ing finely. Fifteen of the piers through
the town of Bellaire have reached a
height of several feet above tho ground
and work on them has been suspended
in order that the masonry may
become thoroughly settled. The first
pier in the river next the Ohio shore
has attained an elevation sufficient to
place it above the reach of an ordinary
flood in the river, and work will be
commenced on the one next TO 1t during
the coming week. a good foundation
for these immense masses of masonry
in tho river is obtained at a depth of
that distance through bed OF compact
gravel, efforts were made to ascertain If
solid rock could be reached by going
reasonable distance farther down, but
without success. The explorations
were continued about twenty feet below
the excavation made, ana the same
stratum of gravel was found TO extend
as far as tho lowest point reached. The
hope of obtaining n solid rock foun-
dation was abandoned. and a
large float, composed of sever
al layers OF heavy timber, was
constructed aud taken to the site of the
pier. Upon this the masonry was COM
menced, tho float sinking as the work
progressed. This operation was con-
tinued until it rested firmly on the bot
tom OF the excavation, and it is be-
lieved thntit will prove as secure as If
founded on solid rock. We are told
that this plan was adopted in the con-
struction of several large railroad
bridges in the neighborhood OF Pitts
bnrgh, and that they have thus far
stood the fest satisfactorily.
In making the excavation for the
piers In the river a dredge boat has been
used, 1t having been found impractica-
BILE TO put In Golfer dams by driving
piles. The gravel below the bed of the
river is so compact that a whole day has
been spent in forcing single pile or
two through it, besides many of them
were shivered to splinters in tho opera
ton. This plan was abandoned, and a
dredge boat was resorted to, which ac-
complishes the work rapidly and at
much less expense.
