HURRYTNo ACROSS A BRIDGE
The Morrisnnia street Railroad Tracks Ex-
tended Into MarIem ON sundny.

At one minute after midnight yesterday
thrcc hundred torches threw their light over
the Harlem Bridge. and the flrstblow was struck
for the purpose Of extending the Morrisania
horse railroad across the river, to connect with
tho elevated railroad. A thick mist. which oc-
casonally turned into showers made the work
dsagreeablc. Over the bay hung a fog so thick
that tho steamer conveying the whole OF the
material over $50 TONS was unable to reach the
pier ut Harlem until two hours after the APP
pointed time. Still. the labor went brskly on.
The stone pavement was removed with CELEBRITY.
and as each gang after completing their share
OF work. moved further on. their places were
taken 10y those who. with pick and shovel.
cleared the earth away; their places being in
turned filled 10y those who laid the stringers
and rails. Al was hustle. yet there was no con-
fusion, At daylight nbout one-third Of the dis
tancc between the Harlem Bridge and 10Th
street had been cleared of the pavement. and
here and there ties were in position, On the
bridge men with AIDES were levelng the centre
OF the track, and carts filled with wood and iron
rails were being cmptcd. so that the material
could be- dropped into place There was no
cessation for the busy wogkcrs.
Tho projectors OF this hurried job loosely
snid that they did not desire to interfere with
the street traitlc. and therefore had chosen Sun
day for the work. The real object. however.
was 10 evade tho operation OF an act lately
passed by the Legislature, by the provisions OF
which tho inc could not be extended across tho
bridge. unless lald within certain time. By
accomplishing the extension on sunday. the
danger Of legal Interference was escaped.
Tho multitude that gathered in the early
morning gradually dispersed. until at G A. VI.
barely a dozen outside OF those whose business
kept them there were to be seen. But rs the
day wore on great numbers OF spectators AS
scmblcd. and the bridge. as well IA the APP
proachcs on both sides. WINS crowded. A
strong force OF police kept passage clear. At
8 last evening the second line OF rail on tho
north side was completed up to the Harlem
Bridge. while It's companion on the south SIDE
rapidly approached the same stage OF compile
ton. Tho bridge was brilliantly lighted. and
the men were hard mt work. The company
feared at ono time that the police might inter-
ferc. and n strong staff OF lawyers were on the
ground ready TO give advice: but no opposition
was made.

THREE PLEASURE SEEKERS LOST
The Wreck OF n Fa.t steam Launch on one

The steam launch Louisa ran on the rocks
in Little He'll Cato yesterday afternoon and was
capsized. She sank Immediately. and three Of
the seven persons on board were carried down

children Sarah. aged 10. and William, aged \.

RETURN LETTER OFFICES.

WASHINGTON, May ls.-One OF greatest de-
iecs Of the present postal system Of this country
is the delay attending the return Of such letters

livered. A person living in Chicago, for in
stance. writes and sends an important letter 10
Springfield. but the person for whom 1t was in
tended does not live there. or. II he does re-
fuses to receive the letter. BY the present law
after the lapse OF certain time. IL 1t is not
called for II Is advertised, and then sent TO the
Dead Letter Office at Washington, where IL is
opened and then forwarded to the writer. A
letter may have been sent from San Francisco
TO place only a few miles from that city. and
yet II must be forwarded across the continent
u Wash ngton before II can be returned 10 him,
The long delay resulting from this method
serious loss TO both parties. The Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads Of the House
are considering Legislation on this subject
They will probably. agree 10 a meas
