The Work of Building the Arthur XII
Bridge to Begin Soon.

The Work of Building the Arthur XIII
Bridge to Begin Soon.
Erastus Wiman stated toa Baltimore San
correspondent at New York yesterday that
he has no doubt that President Cleveland
will sign the Arthur XIII Bridge bill just
passed by Congress. The work Of construct
ing the bridge will begin within in three
months after the Presidents signature is
affixed to the bill. In regard to the use Of
the Jersey Central tracks by the Baltimore
and Ohio, which is reported, Mr.. Wiman
says that 1t is possible the Baltimore and
Staten Island extension iscompleted, but that
there is absolutely no intention to abandon
the Staten Island route. Mr.. Wiman has
begun the construction OF fifty cottages at
New Dorp, Staten Island, which will be
sold to persons wishing to settle on the
island, on peculiar plan devised by Mr..
Wiman and very easy to the purchaser.
These cottages will be followed by others.
General Counsel Cowen Of the Baltimore
as soon as the President signs the bill and
the War Department approves the plans.
The work Of construction will not, In his
opinion, consume moro than eight to ten
months. The bridge will be about 600 feet
long, of iron, and constructed with draws
for passing vessels. The bridge will not
interfere with commerce or be an inconve-
nience to any one. The ferry from New
York to Staten Island will be no longer
than several other railroad ferries here,
and the distance will be covered in about
steamboats,, the largest and best that can be
constructed. Measured by time or dis
tance, the road will be on an equality with
the PENNSYLVANIA.
