 The Brooklyn Brfdge-The Engineer who
 Superintended Its Construction an
 IRvalid's Beds
 BRooKLYN, May 16.-Colonel Washington A. Roebling, the chief engineer of the Brook yn bridge, was visited this evening by re- porter for the purpose of ascertaining if he would be able to attend the opening ceremon- es on the 24th inst. It has been decided hat the Cslonel's enfeebled condition will lot permit him to attend even long enough o listen to the dedication address. He has been an invalid for thirteen years from ,aisson disease contracted while personally experimenting the bridge caisson work It will be remembered that his father died rom tetanus caused by neglect to properly attend to a wound he received by having his loot crushed between the side of boat and step. At the time of the injury the elder Roebling considered that the bridge duty he vas occupied with was of too great import nce to be postponed until he could rave his crushed foot attended to md this loyalty proved fatal. The on has been confined to his room for several vears. This room is in the rear of his resi- Ience at No. 11e Columbia Heights com handing a full view of the bridge nd has a fine telescope swung in large pay window. With this instrument the ,reat engineer has superintended every de- ail of the construction of the bridge. He las always had special corps of assistants, put has been too weak physically to do more han watch instruct and direct. His princi- pal assistant has been his wife, who has made most of his calculations for lim and done most of his correspondence. Colonel Roebling says he will never under ake another work and seems to feel keenly lis inability to be present at the dedication Y If his great work. Mrs. Roebling having ,een promised the privilege of being the irst woman who should drive ov CT the bridge insisted on having the promise kept and drove fast trotter across for the purpose of af- ording perfect test of the effect of trotting Ipon the suspenders. The observing engi- leers have reported that the action of the lorse produced no perceptible vibration. The trustees have arranged for reception at ,olonel Roebling's residence after the open ng ceremonies.
