THE WONDERFUL FORTH BRIDGE.

Among the passengers who arrived
| from Europe on the Aurania and City of
| Rome last Sunday was Sir Benjamin
| Baker, the architect of the bridge over
the Firth of Forth, the largest structure
| in the world built on the cantilever prin-
ciple, and Sir William Arrol, the chief
contractor of that work. The New York
Star says it is understood that they come
here as the representatives of syndicate
of English capitalists who propose, if the
reports made by the experts be satisfac-
tory, to advance the money to build the
bridge over the Hudson river, SIS, 000, 900
being the amou L which will be required.
The mention of these names and their
arrival in this country very materially
revives interest in that marvel of archi-
tectural wonders, the wonderful Forth
bridge. A correspondent of the Globe
Democrat at Washington that paper
with the following description of that
structure:
Consul Bruce, at Leith, has sent TO the
state department picture of the Forth
bridge. Just completed. The shallow
slope of the southern shore at Queens
ferry, some seven miles from Edinburgh,
allowed the building of ten stone piers
about 40 feet apart, then gap of $50
feet to the main pier. then the first great
span of 700 feet to the island of Inch
garvie (which island make the building
OF the bridge possible), then another
great span Of l 200 feet to the the great
north pier, then another gap of $50 feet
to the five viaduCts on the shore of Fife,
The piers are some $50 feet in height,
and. calculated from their very base, at
the bottom Of the caissons, surpass every
thing except the Eiffel tower, the feature
Of the Paris exposition. But the wonder
of this structure is the greater when one
considers that the Forth bridge cantilev-
ers are carried out horizontally, without
any support from below. exactly as far
as the Eiffel tower was carried perpen-
dicularly in the air, thus asserting It's
strength and solidity, as IN defiance even
of gravity.
The following detailed statistics of the
bridge, which Is Justly pronounced the
most wonderful in bridge architecture,
will b. of interest:

The Next Colored State Fair.

"The next colored State fair will
open on Tuesday of the week following
| the State fair, So the interval between
the two fairs will be only two days.
This arrangement will enable persons
who desire to exhibit at both fairs from
all additional expense, that is, on the
part of transporting articles twice over
the roads. We hope that this arrange
ment will suit the many colored eX-
hibitors for the next fair, as the season
of the year will meet the approval Of
the public. We propose to select iu-
telligent and influential gentleman to
be the managers, who will exercise
such power and influence as shall war
rant every faculty and assistance they
may request to further the success of
the institution. We feel confident
that the State will grant US an ade-
quate appropriation to assist in award
ing the premiums which may be mer-
tied at the exhibition, and that the
several railway companies will grant
such terms OF transportation as shall
prove beneficial to the society in its eff
forts.
1--WE shall publish the names Of the
board of managers in few days, who
shall meet soon to digest plans for the
next colored State fair.
1--WE heartily appreciate the encour-
agement and assistance rendered by
our white friends and the press gener-
ally. The many thanks for this pure
and friendly deed rendered our institu
ton in its infancy and first attempt to
make public display of material in
dustries are ineXpressible; but we
would that we could return a deed Of
greater magnitude. God will bless
them who will help the poor.
1--WE would say to our race, let US
unite ourselves in one common cause,
one common purpose Of enterprise.
Our white friends have clearly evil
denced their willingness for our COM
mon development materially. Let US
not stand divided in the next exhibit
ton, because, such would Indicate an
abuse of our intelligence and sense Of
right. Come together.

Hon. Calvin S. Brice who has beeD
recently elected United States Senator
from Ohio has for the past five years
lived in New York, though it is said
continued to vote, if he voted at all, in
Ohio. Some of the papers have been
pitching into Mr.. Brice and the Demo
cratic legislators of Ohio right heavily.
In addition to this question Of eligibili-
ty it is further charged that his election
cost him about five hundred thousand
dollars, which means of course, that
some of the Ohio legislators accepted
and received some of Mr.. Brice's money
for their votes.
Of course all this is denied by Mr..
Brice himself.
However this may be, it is true that
we are getting quite number of rich
men in the United States Senate.
Whether we are reaching in the make
up of this body plutocracy or not, we
will not say, but the purchase Of high
Offices should be condemned, whether
it be done by Democrats or Republicans.

The Trial of Mrs. Cora Scales MOTIFS
Ended-A Verdict of "Not Guilty
Returned.

RALEIGH, \. c.. Jan. 27.-The trial OF
Mrs. Cora Scales Morris for the murder
of her husband last August, which has
been in progress at Wentworth, IN hock-
ingham County, several days, ended TO-
day in the acquittal OF the accused.
The case has attracted scarcely less
interest throughout the State than the
MAVERICK and Kniffin cases. Mrs. Morrls
is a niece of Ex-Governor Scales, and IS
Young woman of unusual beauty. MI
aud Mrs. Morris resided at Reids1llle,
and had been married only about eight
months at the time OF his death. Ihey
did not live happily.
The fact came out during the trial that
Mrs Morris, few days before her hus-
bands death, bought two ounces OF chic
roform from a druggist in Rieds7llJe.
Two weeks before Mr.. Morcls's death ms
vie proposed that he will her all OF S
property and iosure bis life N her favor
for $4,000. So desi-'ous was Mr.; Nor
ris of wioring her affections that ne ac-
ceied. TDe will was executed and the
policy for $4,000 taken out with the
Mutual Be ,eft Life Insurance company
of Newark, n. J.
On the mo: riog of the death of Mr
Mo .ris 40 empty chloro;orm bottle was
found in his room, apd also handker'
CHEF saturated with it. Strong evldeoce
was given against the accused, and the
defense offered 10 evidence whatever.
There was general convic!ion: how:
ever, that verdict of mot guilty. Wop'c
be brought. Argument was closed to-da!
at noon, and the jury was Only out i've
minutes and brought in verdict OF mo-
guilty"
Mrs. Morris was perfectly calm anc
