BROOKLYN BRIDGE.-The work on
the Brooklyn bridge goes steadily on,
but, strange to say, the man who planned
the structure and directed all the de-
tails has seen the bridge only once in
the last three years. Mr.. Roebling con-
tracted the caisson disease when the
great caisson on the New York side was
being sunk. Paralysis of the body and
impairment of the nervous system have
resulted. When he was removed from
his home at Trenton to this city, last
autumn, canal boat and tug were
used, as he could not endure the trip
by rail. A few weeks ago he was taken
to his home at No. ITO Columbia Nights,
Brooklyn. AS he was going up the
East river on tug he caught his first
view of the completed towers and foot
bridge and exclaimed, "Ah, that's just
as l expected to see it."--N. Y. Tribune.
