New Bridge Over the presumpsco,.

The new iron bridge over Presumpscot river,
on the Maine Central, was placed in position
Yesterday. The new bridge had been erected
alongside the oldone and was completed ready
for the track. 1t remainsd to remove the old
wooden bridge and put the new one in its place.
This was done on Sunday, as there are then no
trains running. Shortly after o'clock yester-
day morning as soon as the last regular train
had passed, Bridge Master Booker and Rsad
Master Nevens, each with gang of men, COM
menced taking up the track and removing the
floor of the old bridge. The rods were all TAX
en- out, and at half aast eight the top chords OF
the old bridge were pulled over and fell with
crash and splash into the stream. The rest
of the bridge and tresGles were then removed
and Foreman Knibbs began moving his iron
bridge. 1t was slid bodily sideways upon greas-
ed rails by means of heavy windlass and
tackle. While Messrs. Booker and Knibbs
were Swapping" bridges, Road Master Nevens
was busy raising the track at each side of the
bridge and gang of masons were finishing the
top Of the easterly abutment. There was
large DAYS work to do, but it was successfully
ACCOMPLISHED, and at half past five p. m. the
-ul,vle JOB was ready for the passage of trains.
1t was tested by the passage of two locomotives
coupled, at speed of % miles sper hour; thu
centre DETECTION was just 5 of an inch. The
bridge returned to its original position after the
train passed. The new structure is wrought
iron, rvited lattice Deck bridge, and was built
by the Niagara Bridge Works of Buffalo, N.
Y, the same company that built the iron
bridges and trestle in the White Mountains for
the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad.
The length of span is 13S feet, the truss is Is
feet deep. 1t is stiff and strong structure,
and is not surpassed by any bridge in this state.
There were several hundred interested specta-
tors, among whom were Superintendent Tuck
er, Prots. Vose and Young of Bowdoin College,
with delegation of students in the engineer
department.
The new bridge and the raising of the grade
at the river will make great improvement in
operating the road, as hereafter. trains will not
be obliged to reduce their speed in crossing,
which has made this difficult place for freight
trains. Another bridge of the same character
is to be put on at West Watervile in few
days. Superintendent Tucker intends to re-
place all wooden bridges of any size with iron
as fast as the structures require removal, COM
mencin with those located at distance from
stations With the completion of this seasons
work the Maine Central will compare favorably
with any of our New England railroads.

afternoon. Like all the meetings, the services
were of social nature and were participated
in by some of the most prominent Friends in
the city. After prayer, DR.. e. G. Young of
Ohio preached from John III, l6. The rapidity
of DR.. Young's utterance and the intricate con-
struction Of the sentences made it impossible
to give complete report. He sketched in a
very graphic manner the plan of the Atone
ment, and portrayed with eloquent words the
nature and purpose of Christ's sacrifice, clos.
ing with an earnest appeal to the unconverted.
He was followed by Amos NJ. Kenworthy, who
made comments on certain passages in
Proverbs Friend Kenworthy is an able and
eloquent speaker, and was listened to with great
attention. The remainder of the time was
occupied by several Friends, with calculations
and fervent, heartfelt prayers. As in the
morning, the meeting was led by John d.
Lang of Vassalboro'
EVENING.
VIM. Witherell of Canada read the LIST chap
ter of 1st Thessalonians, and made practical
comments on the texts. he was followed bv
Thomas w. Ladd of New York, who invoked
the Divine blessing on the meeting. Friend
Witherell then addressed the meeting and gave
very clear exposition of some of the cardinal
points of belief held by the Society of Friends.
He explained very clearly the significance of
the Friends we'll known opinions In regard to
war, oaths, water baptism and communion.
They hold rot negative testimony alone in re-
gard to these, but they hold positive testimony
to universal peace, sanctity of truth, daily com.
munion and the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Friend Witherell is a pleasing speaker, pos
sessing fine voice, and speaking with great
energy and clearness; so, though he speaks
very rapidly, every word is distinctly heard in
the most distant part of the house. His lam
guage is remarkable for its purity of diction
and the terseness of its sentences. Like the
other Friends we have heard, he speaks with
great earnestness and enthusiasm.
