anchorage of suspension bridge. The next best
foundation was gravel. and IL that could not
be obtained piling might be used. In
the construction OF the East River Bridge

sand and bowlders discovered very
hard. The anchor plates OF tho East River Bridge,
Mr. Harrington said oval masses of iron, feet
with rsdiating arms. They were imbedded deep in
the anchorages and they weighed twenty three tons
each. Several diagrams of the structure then
exhibited. There would be promenade 10 feet
wide above the flooring props The roadway would
be 1876 feet above high tide in the warmest weather.
The East River Bridge would be greater than
the Cincinnati and Niagara bridges as its
length from tower to tower is 1885 feet
inches. Its two land spans measured $50
feet each. It's approach on the Brooklyn
1900 feet. The entire length of the bridge would

This community was startled to-day by the arrest
Of W. w. win,on, his son, A. H. wnton; his son-in-
law. Thomas Livy. and his brother-in-law, Isaac
Dean, charged with maliciously conspiring to de-
fraud the Second National Bank and tho Miners ana
Citizens Savings Bank. of this city. both Of which
Institutions are in liquidation few years ago tho
Second National Bank was regarded as one Of the
soundest institutions in the city; but prior
to Its collapse last spring the fact that IL
was family institution. controlled exclusively by
the Wintons led many TO look upon 1t with
eauon especially as its managers had bought large
tracts Of ''coal lands. many OF which turned
out unproductive. W. w. Winton was prcsitent:
his son, Byron Winton. vice president; A. IL
Winton attorney for the bank, and Iiyy and
pean were directors. When the bank closed Comp
troer OF the Currency Knox sent George s. Goodaie
here receiver. to look after tho interests of
the unpaid depositors, who were wild with rage,
as they had conided very much IN President
Winton, who regarded as strictly honest man
and sagacious hnancier. Receiver Goodale took
charge of the bank March 10 last. and upon his
formation the present criminal prosecution liz insti-
tuted In his affidavit lie sots forth that Winton is
directly indebted to the bank in . sum named. and
In other large amounts indirectly; that Dean besides
being debtor to- tne bank, Is also tho owner OF
400 shares OF its capital stock, and therefore liable
to its creditors that the entire family did conspire

Isaac Dean confessed judgment to Livy for S45 900
in trust tor Mrs wnton, the alleged object being to
prevent the Second National Bank from receiving
the money due II from Winton and Dean. In pursu-
ance OF these judgments the lands of winton and
Dean have been advertised for sale. the present
form of prosecution having been unexpected.

A NEW RAILROAD OVER THE IsTHMUs-wILL IT
SOLVE THE QUESTION OF PANAMA CANAL
ROUTE?
"Mr. Van Brocklin." said reporter OF the HERALD
yesterday at the Office Of the Manhattan 'L Railroad
Company. 'do you think this proposed railroad
across the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec, in Mexico, will
solve the canal question:
THAT don't know" he replied. "All know is
ths-The railroad will be adequate for the present
volume of business. 1t is. therefore. only matter
of common sense that business men should, in what
may be considered experiment. prefer the ex-
penditure of $l0.00O.0O0 to the expenditure of
$l0OO0O.oO0."
THAT is practical view Of it. certainly. May 1
ask If your faith in this project covers personal
interest in itr'
Certainly. I have this faith in it. am giving
up tho chief engineership of the Metropolitan Ele
waited Railroad to become the chief engineer Of this

for that purpose the 9th Of this month. That is
pretty good evidence of what think of it. is it
not? don't know how long shall be away. We
are under contract to have the road completed in
three years. We have had to deposit 100000 with
the Mexican government rs an evidence Of good

out an entirely new survey. This route will
effect q saving of time and distance equal to five

equatorial heats. The harbors will. at all seasons,
be free from calms and approachable by sailing

The railroad system, also, which permeates this
