The Rev. J. Mcleod, Philadelphia clergy
man. in q recent lecture to apprentices aud boys
In stores, gave some interesting "reminiscences
OF Stephen Girard, "wilom,' said he, II knew
when boy. He always discounted snail notes:
helped men who were in business in small way.
He was always really to help a mechanic or
honest man, though perhaps with an ere to
business in a small safe way. The Bank OF
North America aud others were jealous OF him;
SO they said: We will not discount his notes.
Girard was informed Of it, and, Of course. was
angry; SO he told the cashier whenever he cot
note Of the Bank Of North America to Law it
aside. This was done, until after awhile one
day he sent notary over with notes Of the Bank
OF North America TO the amount Of S250, 900,
with request that the amount be paid in ro]i
and silver. There was CONSERVATION III the bank,
and Girara was sent for and reiterated his de-
1nand, wien the banks were glad to compromise,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
ASHTADQLA BRIDGE.

A5iTADuLA BRIDGE.
| 10 the Editor a The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Jan, 13.-As theories are abundant
as to the cause OF the late disaster, permit me
to suggest possible, if not probable, solution
Of the problem which now bids fair to remain
forever unsettled.
Any one at all familiar with the moving Of
trains knows that running them over snowy
track requires an immense increase of power; ];
full proof of this is seen when it is remembered
that this, an ordinary train, was SO far behind
time, although drawn by two powerful engines
The snow was falling in binding sheets, and so
enyelopcd the train that it seemed like cutting
i path through moving drift; and tile resist
Ance offered to the trans progress was very
great. The engineers were undoubtedly apprc-
hensiye Of trouble, either from being showed in
or thrown from the track; aud they would
naturally carry all the steam which safety would
allow; adu to this the fact Of the intense cull,
and its known effects upon iron which is sub
jected to great and sudden str aims, and that an
exceptionally long and heavy bridge is to be
passed; and we have pretty correct idea of the
disaster.
The train as 1t came on to the bridge, was
feeling the constant e1crtion Of q force power
ful enough to move it ut slow rate Of OF speed,
and tins would add materially to the strain upon
the bridge beyond the simple weight Of the
train itself. OF course the strain spoken of was
only : fair test Of the BRIDGES strength, and
ono which il ought to have endured; but let It
be remarked that it did endure it until the fore
most engine reached the Euld earth, and the
greatest number Of cars possible to get there
were upon the bridge before it gave way.
Thus lar ne have confined ourselves to the
facts OF the cast; that there was strong resist
ance to the passage Of the train; and that while
the power necessary to overcome that resistance
remained upon tue tho bridge it stood, but the
moment the power struck point where it acted |
independently Of it, it instantly succumbed.
Added to this is one other fact, winch to me sug-
gests solution OF the mystery, and that is |
the statement OF the engineer of the !
front engine. He heard or felt there |
