designed rather novel movable bridge.
The structure is on the suspension prin-
ciple At the dock line on each side Of the
river arc two iron piers, on which the bridge
cables are supported The towers and cables
need only have strength enough to support
themselves and suspension platform or ear
on which the traffic is carried Hence the
construction is much lighter and less costly
than an ordinary bridge would be. Between
the towers two pairs Of rails are arranged,
on which runs truck, pendant from which,
by means Of n skeleton frame and guy ropes,
is platform for passengers, carriages, horses
and carts, etc. This platform is hauled back
and forth across the river by means Of an
endless cable worked by steam engine at the
base Of one OF the towers The platform
moves ON n level with the street grade on
either side Of the river, and Is therefore very
convenient Of access for all kinds Of traffic.
The height of the bridge at the center OF
the span is about $50 feet above high water,
thus allowing plenty Of clearance for vessels
The bridge will cost $4,000.

of the facts cxcites anger, pity and disgust.
In few weeks seven women Of the lowest
class of unfortunates to be found in the no

corpse was shocklngly mutilated, and IN all
