Double Pipe Greek Hems.-0ur cor.
respondent ut this place writes
The iron superstructure for the bridge
over Double Pipe Greek has arrived at
last, and Mr.. Finly, the contractor, has
a corps of workmen on it; and If the
weather will continue favorable for a
few weeks it will be ready for inspection
There we're two causes OF delay
First, the bridge beams and flooring is
equal to about 1900 feet, all sound
white oak This could not be pro
cured in the levels; it must come from
the mountain region. The first con
tractor failed TO furnish it. A second
contract must be made aud the noun
tain streams being so low, saving was
delayed. As soon as Mr.. Fully was
Informed that the timbers were GU the
ground, he ordered the superstructure
shaped, he coming on aud putting 10
his false works, aud awaited The arrival
Of the iron. But il was delayed some
eight days GALL fine weather. before it
arrived. 1t is due to the Western
Maryland Railroad Company to say,
after it came on their road they for.
warded it to its destination in few
hours, they knowing of the grievous
and expensive delay which would be
occasioned to MIR. finly.
On Friday last as the foreman Of the
works on the bridge vas carrying some
bolts to a point on the bridge, plank
ia the staging on which he was walking
broke, and be fell to the bottom, dis
lance OF II feet; tut he went down
straight as al arrow, and lighted on
his feet, not even falling over By the
concussion. He walked out and went
to work, feeling somewhat Jared in his
body aud legs.
