THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE.
A GREAT TRIUMPH OF ENGI.
NEERING-sOME FACTS ABOUT
THE kTRUCTURE.

The completion of the East river
bridge, that connects tho two grea
cities Vi New York and Brooklyn, ia Oh.
OF the greatest events of the nineteenth h
century, and the structure stand,
monumental among the engineering
triumphs of the world.
EOr the past fifty years the people of
the two cities have desired that they
should be connected by some more
satisfactory link than the ferry boats
Asthe cities increased in population an,
prosperity, this yearning for closer and
more certain communication increased
but no practical shape was given to IT. e
movement until 1860, when Mr.. 10 u
A. Roebling outlined a plan of a struc.
ture 10 span the river
Even then the matter remained dor.
mant for years, but at last the bridge
was commenced, and now, after the ex
penditure of millions of dollars and
years of toll, the great work is compile
ted, and is to-day opened to the public
The work was commenced January 3,
1870, and the total length of the bridge
Ia 5,9S9 feet.
1t is 81 feet wide, and Is suspended 10y
four cables 16 inches in diameter and
weighing nearly one thousand tons
each. 1t took IA, 56l miles of wire to
construct these cables, which holds this
mighty structure l35 feet above high
water.
Ii is claimed that the promenade for
pedestrians can accommodate fifty
thousand persons IN hour, and the
driveway fifteen hundred vehicles ip
the same time. Cars will run across by
an endless chain, so arranged that when
they reach the centre they will run by
their own gravity and momentum, be-
ing under the cont'o! of brakes. Pas
sengers will only be taken on or let oh
at the ends Of the bridge, as no stop
pages will be made
1t is proposed I" keep eighty cars in
constant operation, twenty of which
will always be on the bridge. Each
car will carry 100 persons and $4,000
passengers can he taken across in one
hour, This city has a local interest in
this bridge from the fact that much OF
the iron work was made by Whining
ton mechanics At the Edgenoor iron
works.

Game Of Base Ball Yesterday-The
4uiekssep Defeated by the Um.

II was cold day yesterday for bas'
bail, at least that is what the four hun
dred people thought who were presen
Mt Quickstep Park to witness the con
test between the home team and the
Allegheny "sluggers.
The visitors are not only sluggers
but the biggest set of growlers and
kickers that ever played in this city,
From the time the game was called al
3.45 o'clock, they commenced to kick,
and kept it up until the last inning was
lplayed
| In the first place they would not have
MCGurk TO umpire, but insis ted upon
having Ben. Sommers, notorious in
competent person, who belongs to the
association uInpires.
The home team consented to allow
him to umpire CD and from the very
first it was evident that our boys not
only had to play the visiting nine but
the umpire. As the game progressed
his bad decisions became more frequent,
the consequence of which he was hissed
and hooted by the audience. In the
third inning Bresnahan was at the bat;
he made a strike and IA he did 80 the
catcher evidently snapped his fingers
and the umpire decided him out. This
decision ncltled not only the home
players but the audience.
Again, in the fourth, Smith had
reached his third, and Barber made
safe base hit to left field, upon which
Smith came home. His run did not
count, however, as the umpire Co deci-
ded Barber out at first, the excuse be-
ing that he ruin inside the line This
retired the side. The Quickstep play
ers then, through Captain Bresnahall,
refused to 60 upon the field unless a
new umpire was secured.
In thisadecision they were backed up
by the audience, who called for the
umpire to be put out. The excitement
was growing intense, and SoTmers
seeing that he was in warm place
sneaked from the grounds. McGurk
was then selected, and as he called game
The game was then proceeded with, the
result being as follows:

Party Attac hsneni,

The tenacity with which Democrat
cling to their party is really inexplica-
BILE. With the great mass the namt
Democrat embraces everything worth
living for. In their eyes the party can
do no wrong. II may restrict the right
of suffrage, create offices for broken
down politicians, and increase the
taxes, and yet they will support it. In
no other capacity do they act so stupid,
ly. The man who attempts TO cheat
them on one occasion will not be given
the opportunity to do 50 n second time.
Should a set of banners enter their
domiciles AMI insist on sharing por.
tion ot:their earnings, they would be
speedily elected, or should any ono as.
sumo to take the management of thei I
business or property out of their hands,
they would summarily teach the intru
der that they were of age and compe.
tent to contIol their own affairs.
While sharp enough in all their busi
ness transactions, political bosses can
lead them round by the nose, put their
hands into the public treasury, and
tilch therefrom through Legislative
enactments a goodly portion Of their
hard earnings. and they will uphold and
defend the outrage
