Nearly Completed.

The bridge at st. Charles, over
the Missouri river, for the North
Missouri Railroad, will be so far
completed by the 4th Of June as to
admit of the running of trains over
it. This bridge 10 one of the great
est achievements of its kind ON the
continent. The bridge has been at
least in preparation of construction
since the summer of 1866. Several
plans were made and abandoned and
several attempts proved failures to
sink cribs for abutments. G. Shaler
Smith, Engineer, in September, 1868,
inaugurated tho plan which proved
successful. Tho bridge is on the
Fink truss plan with deck spans for
all except the three central ones,
which are on the triangular girder
plan, and are through" spans. The
total length ofthe bridge, besides the
trestle approaches, is 2,i783 feet, tho
shortest Of the spans being 3O5 feet,
and the longest s2l3 feet. This is
the longest distance bridged by an
equal number Of spans in this
country. The trsstles by which the
main bridge is approached are 4, 43la
feet long in all, swelling the total
length of tho bridge to 6,57O feet, or
about mile and q quarter. These
tres'les are Of iron, resting on mason
~. The construction Of the bridge
has employed the labor of 400 men
for nearly three years, aud has cost
81, 100000. The North Missour,
Railway Company pays the com
pany which built the bridge $50,

The completion Of this bridge may
very properly be hailed by MS, situa-
ted, as We are, At the terminus of the
North Missouri road, as the consul
nation Of . great enterprise Of
immense benefit to us. The trans

pensc and accidents involving CON. |
siderable loss Of property, at times. |
This bridge completed will add
largely to the carrying trade of the
road on the score Of safety to ship

moro successfully compete with their |
rivals.

1t seems that the politicians who
have been in session at Desmoines
for some two weeks, as md Abers Of
the United States juries, have agreed
upon Carpenter for Governor, Ben
nett for Lieut.. Gown, Day for Judge
Of the Supreme Court and Charley
Aldrich for State Printer. This is
an admirable ticket, and the only pity
is that the United States jurymen
in session at Des Moines did not agree
upon candidate for U. s. Senator,
also SO that We might have been saved
the trouble and expense OF q session
of the Legislature next winter, AZ
we'll rs o Republican Convention in
june. a
