WHEELING BRIDGE.
WORK ON THE STRUCTURE BEING PUSHED
RAPIDLY.
Ths Bic Traveller fer Putting The Iron IN Position
Raised Yeskrdsy-Will Be
Finished in September.

The big traveller for the laying OF the
super-structure of the new bridge, con-
Meeting the city proper with the lslano'
was partly erected yesterday, and viii
be in shape for work this morning. lt
consists OF three upright bents, so feet
in height, and 20 feet apart. Each up
right it 2s feet Q inches In the clear, 80
feet wide st the bottom and 60 feet at
the top. The lumber used in its con-
struction and the dimensions OF the
Traveller are the same as that used in
building the Union bridge. Tracks
have been laid upon the false work OF
the Island shore span and the traye'er
is provided with wheels, so that u
can be readily moved. The work
of getting the big uprights in position
occupied the whole of yesterday, and
WIS witnessed by large crowd from
the suspension bridge, the nimbleness
and apparent disregard of fear with
which the workmen climbed the struct-
IRE and swung about on ropes forming
a most interesting sight. Baird Bros.
are the contractors in charge OF the
work, ard II is under the personal SUI
pervision OF Mr.. Robert Baird, OF the
firm. About fifty men are employed,
and the bridge is being pushed toward
com pletion as rapidly rs possible. The
iron is all ready TO be put IN position,
and no delay is anticipated.
The deck span on the city side has
been completed for some time. The chan
mel and west spans will be through
spans. The west span will be $50 feet,
the channel span 80 feet inches, and
The east span lsG feet. To-day the work
OF laying the girders will be commenced,
and It will probably te finished by TO-
night. Mr.. Baird expects TO have the
entire span finished by next Saturday
night.
Work has already been commenced
upon the channel span. Piles have been
driven on the eastern side of the Island
shore pier, and the erection of the false
work begun. 1t will probably be left IN
its present condition until the compile
tion of the shore span. Tho channel
span will be closed for several weeks,
and boats will have to pass through the
Island shore span. The entire work
will be finished some time in Septem-
Der, and will be opened 20 the public q
little later. All the work viii be OF the
most substantial character, and the
bridge will be credit to the city.

II. HOE Il co.

In the space devoted to matters con-
corning the REGISTER IT was impossible
not to allude at some length to the
famous firm OF r. HoE & Co., the build
ers of the REGISTER press. Without
their inventive skill and uutiring energy
the newspapers OF the world might yet
have been Flooding along in the old
way, printing from types and slow
cylinder presses. All that is said Of
them is thoroughly merited.
To Mr.. c. T. STEWART, the repre-
sentative OF the firm who has so faith
fully and carefully performed the ardons
duty OF experimenting the putting up
of the press, the REGISTER owes many
thanks.

THE mother-in-law joke was worked
TO death years and years ago, but when
CHAUNCEY DEPEw in his recent Fourth
of July speech at Woodstock, Conn.,,
remarked with touch OF genuine sad
ness that he would then have been on
the ocean bound for Europe bgt for the
Illness Of his mother-in-law, the crowd
shouted aud cheered and waved their
handkerchicfs for nearly five minutes
in recognition OF what they supposed
was little bit of pleasantly. This con-
duet would have been bad enough had
Mr.. DErEw really meant TO work in a
mother-in law Joke, but under the cir
cumstarces it was doubly distressing.
