OF Tweed's arrest at Vigo, but that they would
make further inquiries and inform him OF the
result, and yesterday morning no received the
following despatch "The British Consul at vigo
teegraphs that the prisoner Tweed has been
identified by photograph" The despatch was
an answer to one sent to Superintendent Will
Hanson OF Scotland Yard. Sheriff Conner said
that he no longer doubted that Tweed had been
caught, and that he expected to have him back

Ono of the Wires on which the Temporary
Bridge will SwinR-Accidcnt to tho Hoist-
ing Apparntus-The Wire ut the Bottom.
The large carrier cable at the East river
bridge was taken across the river yesterday
morning at slack water. Twelve hundred feet
OF tho wire rope, which Is as thick as a lady's
wrist, had been carried over the TOP OF the
Brooklyn tower to the anchorage on that side OF
the stream. The rest Of 1t, about $3.50 feet, was
around a drum on a scow at the foot OF the
tower. After Superintendent harrington had
made and placed the wooden brakes to control
the unloosenng Of the cable as the scow IN owed,
he summoned the tug boats Edward Anna and
John X. Guile to the scow. The Anna made
fast, and her companion steamed on to warn the
vessels approaching. Tho hanging cable was
tied 10 position at the base Of the tower by
stout hempen rope to keep IL from being
carried down stream. At fifteen minutes past
II o'clock the tug, followed by the scow, start
cd across the stream. The band OF the
excursion steamer Americus levelled their horns
at the scow and played Hold the Fort, for /
am coming" Two workmen with pots OF grease
kept the drum journals In oil, to ease the frc-
tion, and six others stood with their hands on
the lever which worked the brakes en- the
wheels OF the rum to stop It's revolution at
moments notice. There was a stin outward
current, and tue feet made complete curve In
CrObSlng. lnero was some ChnReT tnhL tDe
strain would carry away the frame work on
which the drum rested but careful watch pre-
vented any disagreement. The New York shore
was reached at twenty-six minutes past eleven,
the trip having been made In eleven minutes.
The cable was drawn over the top OF the New
York tower and dropped on the other side. The
end was fastened to a drum and everything was
prepared for the hauling Of the rope out OF the
river at four o'clock In the afternoon.
AT that time President Murphy and
other OF the bridge officers gathered at
tho base Of the New York tower to
see the operation. The two tugs were sent up
and down the river to keep back the many ves-
sells coming both ways. II was to little purpose
that they steamed and puffed, for the incoming
aud outgoing vessels went stubbornly ahead.
The police boat Seneca, Rlistenlng with the
glossy hats OF New York politicians stopped
and made fast at the base OF the New York
tower At half past four rod flag was waved
from the, TOP OF the New York tower, and the
hempen lashings the Brooklyn side were
cut by workman who had stood for half
hour, knife In hand. The wind and the strong
tide carried the cattle on the New York side as
far down the river as the end OF the tower. and
then the machinery stopped working. The
sheave on the New York tower had become in
jured. ana. Gs the workmen were unable to put
II in order again, the raising Of tho cable was
postponed until this morning.
