ALEX kNDRIA AND WAsHINGroN RAILROAD
contain ed in an article taken from the Washing
Ton Star and republished in the Gazette, yester-
afV evening, respecting the condition OF the
bridge of the A. * W. X. R:acrOss the Potomac In
entirely incorrect. and that the bridge alluded to
is perfectly safe-so safe That the officers of the A
* W. and o., A. & NJ. roads, who have inspected
1t, have no hesitancy whatever IN allowing their
trains 10 pass over il continuously. A new in
spection was made to- day by competent eagi-
neers and certificates Of its safety issued.-Aier-
GnSyia Gazette.
We should be very glad to believe Ii at we were
mistaken, snd that the bridge is in proper con-
dition for railroad travel; but despite the "certi-
fcates of safety issued by the railroad company,
we must repeat that the structure IL i'm a fright
fully insecure condition for heavy travel. This
Tact is apparent to the most unframed eye and
Is fully established by the report OF experts. We
give, elsewhere, the official report Of the engi-
heer designated by the Board of Public Works
40 examine the bridge. in accordance with a
RESOLUTION of the Legislature which substan-
tiates our statements in every particular The
engineer reports timber trestles rotten and
very defective; holsters soft and punky causing
Che bridge chord to settle; outside braces sac

dropping out" upper chords "made of poor
timber, split and cracked in every direction"

entirely worthless, and liable, at anu moment,
during the passage Of train, 10 gire lcay;" and so
on. 1t is idle after such a report by q qualified
engineer, and the evidence of the senses of every
person who inspects the bridge, for the railroad
company to undertake to gloss over the facts of
Its condition by any assurances OF its "perfect
