The alarm worked effectually, and when the
officers entered the house they found the
alleged gamblers on their way to the upper por-

men marched from the house to the patrol

R0sselIs Remarks,
During the early part of July the superin'
tendent of streets wrote q letter 10 the Enginee,
Commissioner urging the immediate repair Of
the street bridge over Rock creek, which b.
said could be done at q cost Of S959.32.
This Recommendation came in during Col
Roberts absence from the city and Capt. Ros
sell. who was acting engineer commissioner,
thought the matter Of so much importance
that he declined to act during his absence.
Recently. however, Capt. Rossell wrote a let
ter to Col. Robert with reference to the above
in which he said that the bridge in question i,
not well designed and he would like to see il
replaced by a masonry structure. He also
said that all bridges between Washington and
Georgetown should be Of masonry.
The bridge which is the subject of the above
communication was injured in some way dur
ing the late freshet and the truss is now benz
in the form of the letter So. To straighten it,
it will be necessary to take many of the twists
ont and then rerivet after Strengthening. The
Commissioners have recommended that this be
done.
