A JEwELRY STORE ROBBED.
The Window Smashed Before Daylight
This Morning.

Some time before daybreak this morning a
thief broke the show window Of Frank Hoffa' g
jewelry store, No. 409 7th street. and carried off
quantity Of jewelry. 1t is supposed the
burglary was committed about o'clock this
morning. The window was smashed with a
brick.
The thief, it is thought, took advantage of
the noise made by some heavy vehicle passing
over the stone pavement so that the noise
made by smashing the glass did not attract
attention. The burglary will not prove loss
to MIR. Hoffa, as his window 10 insured and he is
member Of the jewelers. association, which
pays losses so sustained
Detectives Mattingly and Wheeler, who are
investigating the Case, recently called the at
tention OF several jewellers to their habit of
leaving jewelry in their windows without any
protection. One Of the persons thus warned
became indignant and thought the officers
were meddling with something which did not
concern them. If the officers advice had been
followed by all the jewellers several robberies
similar to the one committed at Mr.. Hoffa' q
would have been avoided

THE NEW BRIDGE OPEN.
Col. Hams Took Down the Bars Today
and Let tho People Cross.

Ths new bridge over the Eastern branch At
the foot Of Pennsyivanis avenue il finished a.
last and was opened up 10 traffic this morning
The work has dragged for long time and all
sorts Of obstacles, from fights with . railroad
company to floods and . broken canal, have
combined TO delay NE completion Of the
bridge. When work was begun II was ex-
pected IL would be finished considerably more
than year ago, but il was . more difficult task
than was expected. A number Of hard problems
in engineering had to be solved, but what
caused the most trouble was . succession Of
law suits and injunctions obtained against the
contractor by the railroad company over whose
tracks the bridge was 70 pass. But all these
o1mcaines have been met and Washington
now mas an outlet across TO the opposite shore
OF the Eastern branch besides the old Navy
iard and Bennings bridges The last girder is
~ piace, the last plank laid and the last nail
driven.
TAKING DowN TIE BARS.
his morning Col p. G. Hams Of the engi-
neer corps, who has had charge Of the con-
struction Of the bridge from the beginning,
went over TO zee II and gave il q thorough in
specnon nom topic bottom and from end to
sn@ ms only criticism was that =
lew more nails should be driven and one or
TWO pianks be made more firm This was done,
ana ne then ordered the timbers to be removed
that barred it at either end and announced
that the bridge was open for travel. There
were no ceremonies Of any sort. The
bridge cannot perhaps, be considered
formally opened until it has been accepted BY
the government and all transfers made, but il
Is thought that this is q mere matter Of a short
time now, and wagons are at liberty TO cross
just the same as il this formality had been
gone through with.
THE BRIDGE.
A history and description of the structure
have already been published in TIE STAR
The bridge was authorized by set Of Congress
February %, 1887, which appropriated
sll0,00 for its construction. Col Hains
was put in charge and work was
begun in November, 1887. In May, 1888,
Congress made In additional appropriation OF
$4,000 to make such alterations in the designs
as would best accommodate the traffic. The
bridge, a. 1t now stands, is /, $40 feet long. IL
is substantial and handsome structure
Of iron resting on solid stone piers. The floor
ing at the foot and drive ways is OF heavy oak
planking and graceful iron railing runs along
either side.
