The New York and Brooklyn Bridge.



President H. G. Murphy, of the Board
of Trustees of the New York and
Brooklyn bridge, was asked a few DAYS
ago to explain some of the points of dis.
cussion that have recently arisen with
reference to the completion of the
structure. The material was changed
from iron to steel after the original
plans had been submitted, and the
cables, trusses, ETC., were enlarged to
make the bridge strong enough to sus
tain passenger and freight cars. This
added 1900 tons to the weight of the
material on the bridge. Mr.. Murphy
said:
''Now as to the effect of this increased
weight. Does it endanger the safety of
the bridge? Does it give the cables too
much strain? / think net. The strength
of the cables has been ascertained to be
between $4,000 and 12, 300 tons each.
There are four great cables, which gives
strength of 5000 tons. The weight
of the cables themselves is about 1000
tons for the whole four. The weight
of the rest Of the structure, tie flooring
etc., wonld 5Siing it up to 5000 tons
That is what is called ''the dead load"
UlONdUlc
live load which the bridge may be
called upon to bear. This is, of course,
variable quantity, and must be esti-
mated. A fair estimate would bring the
utmost weight to be borne up to be some
| thing like $4,000 tons. That weight
will not in the slightest degree strain the
bridge, and the increase of weight when
considered in proportion to the capaci-
ties of the cables is matter of slight
consequence. We estimate that the
bridge will bear safely three and a half
times the weight that is likely to be put
upon it.
"We have got bridge that is as per.
feet as the art of this dav can make it.
We have stopped short of nothing that
was capable of making it perfect. 1t is
the only bridge in the world built of
steel. tits the largest suspension bridge
in the world. 1t would have been al
most criminal on the part of the board to
fail to avail themselves of every i'm
provement that was possible for human
ingenuity to devise They have done it,
and the work now stands proud monu-
ment to their faithfulness to duty.
Gas to the cost. The additional cost of
the steel, and the improvement cOntem-
plated in transit by means of stationary
power, will increase the cost, as fixed by
the act of 1880, some 5000, O,000 That is
the amount for which we have to 90 to
the Legislature. We have now under
our control about 5000, 600 in cash, and
about $500 600 to be realized from the
sale of land which we have taken in the
course of the work, but which we do not
need any further. The act provides for
its sale. That will leave under the CON
troll of the board for Its present use
$500 600, which sum ia independent of
the $500, 900 which we shall ask the Leg
islature to give us. have no doubt that
after that sum is promptly appropriated
we shall be able to finish the bridge BY
the fall of 1882, say in six or eight
months"

TERRIFIC EXPLOSIONS.
TWO STEAMBOAT HORRORS.
GasOIi0e's Fatal Work In Virginia
A Crew Scalded or DrOwned-A
New Vessel Consumed Another
Catastrophe I'm Arkansas.

RICHMOND, December 27.-An explosion
occurred yesterday at West Point on board
the steamer West Point, plying between that
place and Baltimore. There were IL colored
men In the forward hold at the time, all of
whom were either killed or burned to death.
Five other men were aft slowing cotton.
These jumped overheard, and four Of them
were drowned. The first officer of the
steamer, Peter Geoghan, of Baltimore, was
blown overheard, but was saved, although
he is badly burned. Quartermaster William
Bohannon, Of Baltimore, was seriously and
possibly fatally burned. Several others
were more or less severely burned.
The boats cargo was made up of miscel-
laneous freight, among which were several
hundred barrels OF oil, sixty of which were
gasoline. The oil becoming ignited, the
flames spread with such rapiditY that there
were no chances OF saving the vessel nor
any OF the persons on board of
her, even If they were not killed
by the explosion. The forward
portion OF the deck and great part of the
starbOard side were blown out, aud therefs
no doubt but that all those in the hold or
near the forward hatch were instantly
killed. -Four men were slowing cotton in
Iue hIGer nolu. A1Ler Gney jumped
overheard large hatch fell upon them,
disabling them, and two were drowned.
The cause of the explosion is
as yet mystery. The only fire on board
was under the boiler, which runs the hoist
ing engine, and the engineer running it re-
NAMED at his post and was unhurt The
steamer West Point was built at Baltimore
at a cost of $40 900, and this was her second
trip She was owned by the Baltimore and
Chesapeake and Richmond Steamboat Com
pany, and was, doubtless, we'll insured by
the company's officers IN Baltimore. The
value Of her cargo cannot now be ascer-
tanned.
The steamer West Point was insured for
$40 600.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, December ga
steamer bound from New Orleans to Gin
cinnau burst her steam pipe yesterday
morning near Catfish Bend. The pipe
burst about twenty feet aft of the boiler,
scalding twelve of the crew, three seriously.
Three negro roustabouts jumped over
board and have not been seen since. James
7. Holiday, chief engineer of the steamer,
arrived here this afternoon with the dam
aged pipe. The necessary repairs will con-
sume two or three daVS.

NEWARK TREASURY FRAUDS.
How Auditor Palmer Worked His
Game.

NEWARK, n. j., December 27.-The
Mayor, with several city officials, including
members of the Finance Committee, visited
the jail this forenoon to confer with
Auditor Palmer concerning his defalcations.
His counsel refused to permit an interview.
but Mr.. Yalder, examiner of accounts. who
saw Palmer, stated that he denied having
forged the signatures of Mayor Clark or
the City Council, hut admitted that he de-
ceived them In order to obtain their sigma
lures to warrants. Such statements of
claims as were necessary to obtain their
signatures were concocted and afterwards
destroyed. He protested that no one was in
collusiou with him.
The City Treasurer always took his word
and acted on his instructions and was de-
ceived as the other officials were. Mr..
Yslder, the examiner, saws there are other
peculations In the sinking fund, the interest
assessment deficiency and tax lease ac-
counts, which he has not examined suffl-
ciently to report upon In detail Palmer
knew of Halls defaleation in the Comp
troller's Office, but concealed them
by manipulation of accounts to
avoid detection. Yalder thinks that
they knew too much of each
other for either to speak. and Palmer is rep
resented to have said he hoped the Legis-
lature would pass law to try all defaulters
by a drum-head court-martial and shoot
them on the spot. The Mayor has offered
$500 reward for the capture of Hall.
