New York City is 10 have anoth-
or gigantic suspension bridge. A
bill authorizing its construction
across the Hudson River has been
passed by Congress. and IL is TO be
completed within ten years. The
reason why il was necessary for
Congress 20 act In the matter was
that the bridge l. TO connect two
different States. New York aud
New Jersey. The exact situation
Of the proposed bridge has not yet
been determined upon, but IL will
probably stretch from Hoboken 10
l4th Street. When finished il will
be the largest bridge in the world.
IL will be suspcned from four large
cables, similar to the East River
bridge, each four feet In diameter.
There will be but one span across
the river, 1850 feet in length,
which is nearly twice rs long as
that Of the East River bridge.
Although the proportions are gi-
gantic. it is said that the construc-
ton will be relatively less difficult
than that of the East River Bridge
or the st. Louis bridge. The new
bridge will have from six to ten
railroad tracks, SO that all passen-
gers and all freight coming from
the West will land directly it this
city, instead OF first landing i I Jer-
sey and crossing the river at ferry.
At the New York end will be "A
large passenger station accommoda-
ting thirty tracks. The anchorage
on either side Of the river will be
larger than the pyraminds, aud the
total cost is estimated at $40, 900, =
600.

The New Dominion and the Tippett
Register VIII Please Take Notice.

Bro. Fleming, of the New no
minioa, is off his base again and
should be more careful about his
political geographical constitutional
breaks. 4 short time since he was
booming Gov. Fleming for re-elec-
ton in spite Of constitutional pro-
vision prohibiting it. Now he
wants the Hon. Charles Edgar lIogg,
Of Point Pleasant, nominated for
Congress by the Democrats Of u G
Third district. We believe Mr..
IIogg is popular enough down that
way to run in the Third district as
we'll as in the Fourth, his own dis
trict, if the constitution would al
low it, and we think the democrats
Of the Fourth district should lay oil
fractional differences aside this year
and nominate Mr.. Hogg by accla-
nation, and with him as their stand
ard bearer they would march ou to
victory. \ great blundcr WIS made
when the convention at Parkcrsburg
departed from all custom aud pre-
cedent and failed 10 re-nominate
Mr. Hogg, who had made brilliant
representative and carried the dis
trict by an overwhelming majority
against q very able opponent, and
II he had received tho denomination
he was justly entitled to. there
would have been no possible chance
for o contest. Judge Mon jackson
was determined to try his hand ut
ii and would not be satisfied till he
dId. The result was u dear lesson
Tor him and much more severe one
for the party, and we hope they
viii profit by such bad breaks and
make a gallant fight to redeem the
district this fall. Ne believe that
Charles Edgar Hogg is the man to
lead on TO a glorious victory and we
hope the party in that part Of our
little mountain State will sec % in

Of Washington refuse to entertain

negroes are not admitted into any

cemeteries and listening to the clo-
qucnt words Of some brilliant ora

who lie sleeping that last long sleep,
