The New Brandywine Bridge
To the Editor Of the EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: The proper place for the new
bridge is at Washington street. Some
say it is too near Market street bridge,
but suppose there were no streets be-
tween Market street and Washington
street. how soon would the citizens
want a street between. Yet tie bridge at
Washington street is only a connection
Of that street with both sides, making it
safer for persons to cross over, on ac-
count Of the street care The
bridge at Washington street would
come between King and Madison street
markets and near the centre OF
trade, which is Market street. A bridge
at Washington street, which would be
at the edge of Brandywine village, would
very much increase the building OF
houses on both sides OF the creek, which
would soon pay for the bridge What
benefit would bridge.sl Broome.street al
the present time be TO the city, No bust
ness is done on Broome street and it il
more than 8 mile from Market street

FEW days ago il was reported thst
by new appliances Edison had succeeded
in gaining railway speed or 100 miles
per hour by electric motors. Granting
that this report is not exaggerated, il
does not indicate that Mr.. Edison has
accomplished much The speed OF 100
miles per hour is almost within the
reach or the steam locomotive, In Sep
TENDER train was run on the Reading
road a. the rate OF 80 miles per hour II
England the fastest time attained
was Sc miles per hour. But
these steam locomotives had dead
weights, the Reading Of 1863 tons, and
the English Of 347a tons In addition Il
that the Reading engine had coupled
drivers feet 81 inches instead Of single,
larger drivers, which are certainly bettel
adapted for speed. Even II Edison's in
ventions prove Of practical value, their
application will require ten, fifteen per
hsps twenty years, by which time ther'
may be Improvements in steam
locomotives which will Civ,
them equal speed to that claimed b.
the electric motors. The more importan
discovery elai med for Edison is the re
turning wire which will enable street
railways to abandon the overhead trolley
system. There is not so much necessit.
for greater speed as for greater safet.
and less public Inconvenience.
