HOW ROACH GOT HIS START,
City Contract Taken at 100000 and
Finished with Payments OF Sl,3O0,
mn

From the Relc York World. IA,
The bridge over the Harlem river at
Third avenue is not now in the best con-
ditiou. 1t often gets out Of gear, and
complaints concerning It's faulty con
struction have been familiar to newspa-
per readers for many years past. This
bridge was one Of the first big jobs that
fell to the lot OF John Roach. II gave
him good start in business. The con-
struction of the bridge was authorized
by an act Of the legislature IN 1891,
1t was not begun, however, tlll 1869. The
city limits did not then extend beyond the
Harlem river, the present Twenty third
and iWentV-lOurth wards being still a
portion OF Westchester county. The old
board Of supervisors passed upon the bills
for the work, and Tweed was the leading
member Of the board. Judge William II.
Robertson and a. II. Lockwood, Char
man OF the Westchester Supervisors, and
Mayor Fernando Wood and Street Com
missioner Gustavus w. Smith represented
New York in the Bridge Commission.
The original cost Of the bridge WAS fixed
at 100000, OF which New York city was
10 pay about $50 600. When Roach had
finished the bridge It's cost had run up to
81. 300 900.
j. Mcleod Murphy, who while Roach
was building the bridge was engineer in
charge OF the Harlem river survey, pub
lished at the time the contracts were
awarded letter addressed to the city au-
thOrities stating that in his opinion the
bridge as being constructed would cost
the city and Westchester county too
much at the figure first named $500, 600.
tie also said that the bridge was being
built on defective plans, aud the issue has
seemed to Justify that opinion.

MONTANA CLASSICS.
A Waiter in n Butte City Restaurant
Frightens Customers.
From the Butte Cftg Inter Mountain.

From the Butte Citu Inter Mountain.
one morning recently a hungry pilgrim
went into Pat COnlou's restaurant and or
dered some toast, boiled potatoes, poached
eggs, rare steak and some not cakes.
The water, "Prof." Harris, went to the
kitchen and roared out to the Chinaman
"Gimme a graveyard stew, potatoes in
the dark, two men a-hOrseback, a moon
light on the lake and a flambeRu." When
the pilgrim heard this remarkable order
he incontinently fed from the house, for
getting to take his hat and muttering that
he'd "be gOl darned if he proposed TO
tackle that kind Of breakfast, and that
II the people lived on such things in
this country he proposed TO return to
Missouri"
A reporter Of the Inter Mountain who
happened TO be in the restaurant at the
time approached the waiter and asked
for an explanation of the order, and
the Professor gave the following YER
sion:
''You see," be said, eve get tired of
commonplaces, and besides we try TO
teach the Cinnamon the language. A
graveyard stew means milk toast; pOta-
toes in the dark is boiled potatoes; eggs
circus style means scrambled eggs; rough
and ready means pork and beans; "a fam
beau IS light, hot cakes, and moonlight on
the lake is rare beefsteak. The walters
all have pet names for these things, and
we throw potatoes at the China cooks till
they know what we mean"
Another bOarder came in and the Pro-
fessor rOared out with the voice of a
stentor: ''Gimme a saddlebags and a
springer, spuds of the side, ten-penny
nails and a single to come a-runnin'. -
Then the reporter followed in the wake of
the Missourian.
