The Builder Feels No Apprehension
 For It's Safety
 NEW LONDON, April 23.--A dispatch was sent out yesterday declaring that the west pier of the great railroad bridge had settled seven inches, that the granite Ice shield had been cracked by the strain, that the sinking of the pier had put greatly increased strain on the work, so that its strength was i'm paired and that further sinking would compel the closing of the bridge.
 J. A. Monroe, the builder of the bridge, but not now connected with it, is autht rity for the statement that the story as far as it gives any ground for alarm deserves no attention, and that the bridge is as strong as ever.
 At the time of building it was thought probable that there would be a moderate settling of the west pier, such as has actually occurred. It began about the time the bridge was opened, and is be- lieved to have practically ceased now.

It is not so much mat ter of securing the prize for one Meriden girl or another but to get it for Meriden, that to this city shall accrue whatever glory there may be in coming out first in the contest.
