THE PROPOSED BRIDGE ACROSS THE DELAWARE.
The design for the proposed bridge across the
Delaware, accor ding to the Speakman plan. has
Just been finished, and If adopted will be OF
great benefit to Philadelphia and her sister city,
Camden. From 1t We ascertain the project to
be to start the structure at Front street. in this
CITY, and extend it across the river to Camden,
where the end will rest on Front street. The
bridge exclusive Of the approaches on either
side will be about 5000 feet in length, which
will be divided into three spaces of equal dis
tapce apart, The pier on this side Will be 19l
feet in height, and the flooring will be 80 feet
above high water, o QlSIaQce SuluClelt 10 duOW

The first pier in the water is the one to S1n'cn
the two draws, that are 10 branch Oft from the
main passage way will be fastened, and
which at the pier will be at dis
tance of four hundred feet from each other.
Zach draw will rest on a separate foundation,
and between them will be constructed an
additional pier Tor the support of the main
structure on either de, by means of an lm mense
cable, 1t is contemplated to erect in the vacant
tnotn rpp h.
lie bathing purposes. There Is space suff1 ,ient
for twenty of such rooms each OF which will be
l25 feet long, and 40 feet wide. The idea OF two
draws is to allow uninterrupted traTel-while
one is open the o'ber is closed. These draws
will be but SELDOM required. as the bridge in its
centre Is 100 feet above high water marx. The
cost OF the structure when completed, ls esti-
mated at S2, 900, 600.
1t will be remembered that some weeks since
there was meeting OF prominent gentlemen
with reference to this subject, and a committee
was appointed to confer with similar commit
tee of citizens of Camden. These ORGANIZATIONS
have each appointed engineer, whose reports
may be looked Tor IN day or two.
The ALLEGED DEFALCATIoN.-The rumors of
the de e'alcation which were current on the street
yesterday appear to have some foundation,
although it is impossible to ascertain the true
facts OF the case. The matter has been kept very
uu,et by the sufferers, aud up to this time no
Information has been lodged at any of the detec-
tive agencies in this city. In our notice yester-
day we made a mistake as to the Company which
had been defrauded, and. as con sequence, an
innocent gentleman has suffered. me QUE
charged with the ofense is Mr.. Charles Cabot,
doing business on the iTst floor OF No. los Wal
nut street, and not Mr.. Joseph Cabot ss men
toned in the morning papers. he was PRESIDENT
of the Allentown Rolling Mill Company, of
whose accounts he seems to have had entire
charge. The amount taken is variously stated
at from $50, 600 to 100000. The belief on the
street this morning was that MIR. Cabot had not
abstracted the money, but had used the paper of
the Company in speculation, all OF which proved
disastrous to him. Mr.. Cabot has not been seen
since Monday last, and the impression Is that
he has gore to the West Indies
II has now been aecertained that the house OF
which MIR. Charles Cabot was one of the part,
ners, became involved IN speculatlons, and
being unsuccessful, applied The proceeds OF the
sales made by them Tor the Rolling M'll Com
papy thus creating deficit OF the amount
stated. Continued loss IN those speculatlons
had their conseqnnt effect upon Mr.. G. He sent
telegram to his Phladelphla partner, MT
Edward ]. Etting, who Is said to be wholly
irresponsible and innocent of appropriating the
proceeds, asking his presence here. On Monday
morning last the whole affair was dtvulged te
MIR. Fitting by his partner; Mr.. Cabot statec
then and there that he could not stand an in
VestPation of his accounts, and had determined
upon leaving the country.
Since Monday he has not been heard from
and the probabilities are that he has sailed to
some foreign port Mr.. Cabot, according tt
report did not use his high official position II
the Company TO obtain money Tor the purpos
of speculating, but instead, used that whicl
was already in his position, being the propert
OF the Company. On the day OF his sudde
disappearance he negotiated a number of secu
rites belonging to the Company, and tn
proceeds OF the same, amounting to $4,000, h
deposited to the credit of the Company.
