MAIN STREET BRIDGE.
The Bluff Sliding into the River-The Artesian
lee Factory Shuts Down.

The Bluff Sliding into the River-The Artesian
Ice Factory shuts Down.
City Engineer Kane stated last night that
temporary measures in regard to the North
Main street bridge would do no good. 1t ap-
pears that the whole bluff is sloughing into the
river.
The condition of the bridge has been growing
steadily worse ever since the first break on the
banks was noticed, until now the whole struc-
ture is in danger of being destroyed. The river
banks seem to be shifting and the change is
effecting more than the city prop
erty. The machinery of the Artesian
ice factory is twisted out of
shape and work has ceased. Part of the ma
chinery was broken before the displacement
was noticed. 1t is found that If the bank moves
down to any appreciable extent that the sewer
age system will be injured by the pipes being
unjointed.
City Engineer Kane said last night that the
best and only way to repair the bridge will be to
extend the southern end over the shifting bluff
up to bed rock and put in friction rollers to take
up the expansion and contraction of the bridge
as well as any motion of the abutments. The
street and alley committee viii wait on the
county commissioners, who are in session to-
day and also upon the North Fort Worth street
railway company to learn what can be done in
the way of meeting the expenses which this
work OF repair will necessitate.

Itnlr,s Pramier Talks.

ROME, May BIN the chamber of deputies
to-day Premier Crispi stated that the policy of
the dreibund was unchanged. 1t was policy of
peace and menaced no one, being solely of
defensive character. Our ornaments, he said are
not the result of the alliance. They are neces-
sary to Italy a means of defense if menaced
in the Balkans. We have always protected
the independence of those states in Bulgaria.
Acting in accord with Austria and England we
prevented action that would have endangered
the peace ofEurope. In Africa we remain where
we are and go no further Nothing menances us
from the Soudan. The English are keeping good
watch there. Our accord with England is COM
plete and we sba all never do anything except in
accord with her.
