ST. LOUIS RAILROAD ScHEMEs. st. Louis,
December 27.-Thomas Allen, president OF
the ST. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern
railway, is considering plans for an elevated
track TO connect his road with the Union
depot, and 1t is probable that II the city in
terposes no serious objections such struc-
ture will be erected within year. The
project OF bridging the Mississippi river at
Carondelet, six miles south OF the centre OF
the city, Is being revived. The Missouri
Pacific aud ST. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern roads now transfer by ferry some
500 cars daily at that point, and the revival
OF Iron manufacture at the immense fur
naces and raii-niIi located there makes the
bridge absolutely necessary TO meet the de.
mands OF commerce, and contracts for the
construction Of the bridge, which lie TO cost
between $2.0o0,000 and S3,000,000, will no
doubt soon be let aud the work pushed to
speedy completion. ..e =, - - :,
