struction.
To he Editor Of the InteEigeneer:
SlE:-In your issue Of February 60 h, Just
received by me at this place, is the report OF
an interview with Col. Thomas Sweeney, in
which, with other matters, the building OF
the Wheeling bridge over the Ohio river is re-
ierred 10. Col. Sweeney IL made to say:
Henry Moore and William Paxton were at
the meeting chsmpioning their favorites,
Mr.. Moore fatty contradicted MI. Paxton,
and the latter without any words drew a
sword from his cane and made a lunge which
fortunately missed its mark. OF course, o.
der was p%eremp.orily demanded, and Mr.,
Paxton resigned bis seat III Council" The
inference liable to be drawn from the Ian.
auase las: quoted is, that Mr.. Paxton rs-
signed mis- seat in the Board OF Directors of
the Bridge company because OF the djnicultv
with Mr.. Moore. This Col. Sweeney could
not have intended, because it is not true.
Mr.. Paxton resigned las was we'll understood
at tho time) because he disapproysd the
structure propoaed by Nj. Elicit and adopted
by the Board, believing that II would be in.
secure and liable to disaster; and believing
further, and 30 stating, that the bridge Il
built, as Mr.. Elicit prop ,sed, by day lsbor
under his supervision, instead OF by contract
Tor Specialized sum, rs propoled by Mr.. R,eb.
ling, would cost an Indefinite sum, much in
excess perhaps OF the engineers estimates.
For these reasons he declined to be respon.
sib!e for the work 10 be conducted BY Nj,
Elliott, and resigned his seat at the Board.
Subsequent events fully vindicated MI. Pax.
toms Judgment, for the bridge went down
traoldinsry severity, and 1t had cost (defec.
tive rs it proved) largely in excess Of the en-.
gineers estimate. -
Mr.. Roeellng, the engineer whom MI. pax.
ton favored, had at the time a wel!.ssrned
reputation rs a successful bridge engineer
practical and scientifc-which bis career
fully justified and augmented. WI
