The Largest in the World

Gus;sve LiadeDthal, the eminent engineer
az, bridge builder of Pitiabu'g, Pa, has
completed plans for suspension bridge
across the Hudson river between Hoboken
and Fourteenth street. New York. The
plans of he bridge provide for structure
that shall have not less than six railroad
tracks. and shell be constructed with sin
gle suan over the entire river between the
established pier liues 10 either State. This
unbfoken snsn Will be 2 $50 feet long, which
will make it the largest bridge in the world.
l. is the length of the span which decides
th 5izs ofthe bridge aud not the length Of
the bridge itself from an engineering stand
pciut. Tbs bridge is 10 be built suhject to
the approval of the Secretary of War. and
all persons railroad and telegraph comps
niea. desiring 10 use it are to have equsl
rights Mr. Lindenthal ssys the structure
ia to be $50 feet above the water, Is feet
higher than the Brooklyn bridge. The
ribs of tho bridge will consist
Of steel wire cables with bTacings. These
bracngs will consist Of the insertion into
the cables of the stiffeniug trusses, which
ere usually independent OF the cables BY
the plan OF insertion the cables act as the
cords and form e curved stif'sning frame
or suspended stiff'aned arch ribs. There
cablea will be fifty feet apart. The two
supportinG trusses ere only strained to full
capacity when six train meet. The mate
rial Of the bTldge will be steel and steel
wives. There will be four cables, each four
fact in diameter. The towers will he OF
open lattica construction, to preeeDt as small
wiud surface aa possible.
Iu reference TO cost Mr.. Liudenthsi says
that the company has the practical business
guarantee of the men who have money to
invest. He roughly estimates the cost oi
the bridge itself at S16,0O0,000 the ap
prosches at 100000 and the right Of way
at from Si1 600, ,00O to s13 100000.
