Charles f. Quincy the partner of William heath
asserted IN his defence that he was III l-ulopc on ms
bridal trip for time before the falnre and that
he had no know ledge of the real condition OF the
partnership affairs. Mr.. Heath was prevented by
his fatal sickness from appearing before the Gov

tprday letter which he signed on the very day OF
his death was presented In 1t he stated that ne
threw himself holly upon the mercy of the Stock

BEGINNING THE BRIDGE EXTENSION.
The work of extending the Bridge across Chat
ham and Centre stS. was begun on Tuesday by the
sinking of a pillar foundation i'll the sidewalk
opposite the north carriage entrance. lhe Elevated
Railway station. being right IN the Inc OF the eX-
tension has to be moved out of the way up Chat-
ham-st. and this new pillar Is to support the STATION
in its new position. The stairway leading TO IT.
nearest the Bridge, will be taken down ana also
the clumsy wooden structure which serves TO con-
meet the railroad with the Bridge. Only slX pillars
will be required for the new extension.
One of he Bridge trustees said yesterday that the
contracts for the steel and iron portions OF the
work were let within a few minutes after the Dlll
authorizing the extension had become a law The
Keystone Bridge Company of Pitsburg, has all the
work except the railing for the promenade. Most
of the surface work, such as sinking the founda-
tions for the pillars. Will have TO be done at night
and on Sunday, and for tins reason II Is possible
that the work cannot be finished by May Is, the
prescribed limit but 1t will not be much aer than
that date. The entire work VIII not cost over
Sl5. 900, it is thought. The Park Commissioners
have given the trustees permission to take away
the bank Of earth between the Centre-st sidewalk
and the Recorder s Office and flag the entire space,
which will give nearly feet more of sidewalk
room.

Yesterday when dividend of ll2 per cent IN scrip
convertible INTO stock when the company shall in
crease its capital was declared. The meeting was
fully attended and the recommendations OF the eX-
ecutive committee were adopted without important
discussion. Many Wall Street rumors about the
company's affairs set at rest by the action OF
| the board. The report that the company was about
to issue a large amount of debenture bonds was
prove to be erroneous, for the subject was not
alluded to either by the committee in It's statement
or by the full board at the meeting. director OF
the company said that the only possible ground for
the rumOr the fact that an issue OF bonds was
suggested some time ago. but that the opposition TO
it was quickly found to be overw helmiug. The
