LOUISIANA BRIDGE,

Last Friday the last stone upon

over The Mississippi river at Louisi-

ceremonies, the following brief de-
scr'ption of which we copy from the
Louisiana journal:

forward and announced that the last

plishcd i'll seventy working DAYS.
Short speeches were also made nv
Chief Engineer Cortllcn, Mavor Par
kcr, Col. Dyer and Paymaster Bland
lug. The latter gentleman was moi
only practical, but ornate, and re-
ceived the universal compliment of
making the best talk of the day.
AT the conclusion of tic ceremonies |
the crowd again repaired to the boat
where those who felt inclined i'm,
dulged in the inspiring wine and la
ger, which flowed freely.
Taking into consideration the inn
mensity of the work, we doubt i'll
ever such q structure was finished.so
quickly in the world, and it may be
safely said that Reynolds, Saulspaugh
q Co., are the champion bridge build
ers.
Another remarkable circumstance
that not q single man has been lost
by accident. The whole %ponderous,
extensive machinery of the concern
has been moved with the precision
aud regularity of clock work, and the
work eau also be likened to the build

REMARKABLE TRIAL FOB MURDER.

ed in tho conviction of the accused
OF having murdered che Winfield
Goss, is one Of the most extraordina-

developed in the trial, make out the
following extraordinary story:
Goss and Uddcrzook lived in Bal
timore, both were very poor men,
they entered into n conspiracy to de-
fraud life insurance companies. Goss
got policies on his life to the amount
Of $4,000. He was a maker Of luci-
matches, aud soon after obtaining
his policies the little factory in
which lie professed to carry on his
trade, iii the outskirts of the city.
was blown up and burned one night.
Human remains were found in the
ruins next day, which wcro identified
BY Goss's wife as the remains of Goss.
Application was made to the iusur-
ance officers for the money insured
On his life. The companies, however,
not satisfied, and the detectives
were applied to. Circumstances
were brought to light gradually,
which tended 10 establish the fact
OF conspiracy, and the further fact
that Goss was somewhere in the land
