FIXED THE HEIGHT.

The Hudson Railroad Bridge Must Be 100
Feet Above High Water-Colonel An
= drews Says the Grades VIII Be Heavy
Into New York.
The Secretary of War has signed the
Hudson River Railroad Bridge bill, fixing
the height at 15O feet. This is 15 feet higher
than the Brooklyn bridge. Colonel james
Andrews returned from New York yester-
day. 81 suppose the bridge will be built"
he said, ''but the grades will be hard to
overcome. We start at fixed point and
must get off at certain place. For all time
this heavy summit will have to be over
come.
'I don't see the necessity Of making the
bridge 80 high to accommodate an occasional
ship whose mast may be too long. High
the bigger the boat made now the shorter
the mast poles are. They prove an obstruc-
tion against head winds. Ships these
days are propelled principally by steam.
and will be in the future. All the
preliminary work in the way of getting q
charter, removing legal difficulties and Sc
curing privileges has been done, and 1t now
remains to perfect the plans, which will
take some time. Mr.. Lindenthal is doing
the work, and my business is to keep his
ideas up. The bridge is now projected to
have IA tracks, and know that the roads
can use twice this number. ALI that is
needed now is hearty cooperation on the
part of the railroads. It won't cost much
more to make the bridge 150 feet
high than 135, but the grades is the
problem. We went direct to the National
Government rather than be bothered by
State interference I remember the time
when the gauge Of railroads in the various
States was different, so as to make passen-
gers change cars. It was claimed it would
build town on the border, and resulted in
several pieces of pie being sold. At Erie
they had terrific battle before the Lake
Shore and New York Central were per-
mitted to make their gauge the same"

WAS KNIGHT MARRIEDp
His Death In the Hastings Wreck Raises
an InterestinE Question.

The death OF Wagner Car Conductor Arthur
Knight In the Hastings wreck on the evening
OF the oath has brought to light story in
Closter. N. j.. where he once lived with his
parents. It is now said that he was married.
There was scene In the Morguo at Tarrvtown
when Conductor Knights body was claimed
by his brothers. and by Lawyer c. b. Harvey OF
Closter on behalf Of the alleged widow. OH
GERS were called In. The lawyer got the body
and took II to Closter for burial.
Tho people In that village say that Conduc-
tor Knight was supposed to have married the
widow OF Charles G. Sisson. Jr.. a son OF the
former millionaire President Of the Northern
Railroad Of New Jersey, who lett TO MS two
sons and. one daughter. tho latter, tho vile OF

guardian Of HIS estate.
Residents OF Closter now say that the elder
Sisson's will left an income Of about $1,000 TO
that shortly after she married Knight he left
her. and they never lived together afterward.
The separation is attributed to q desire to
save her income from the Sisson estate. As

"Ths Cou.try Circus"

A singular show was given at the Academy
OF Music last evening. Two-thirds Of 1t was
drama and the other third was circus. but
this smaller portion contained the real strength
and novelty OF tho entertainment. the appro-
pirate title Of which was THE Country Cir
GUS" The scheme had been to embed
circus performance In play. That
idea had been realized long before on
various stages. but in no case had
1t been wrought out with so much complete
ness as that which won a peculiar success at
tho Academy. The dramatic part OF The
Country Circus did not OF itself astonish tho
audience or even give much satisfaction. for it
was only n sketchy depletion Of life in a New
England village. and a poor example OF kind
of work to which far better plays. like THE
County Fair" have accustomed us. Nor would
the circus alone have caused any amazement,
for we are used to the superior ring exhibitions
by Barnum Bailey. But when play and q
circus were combined the audience was quito
won over to the amalgamation. SO the firm OF
Jefferson. Eddy. Klaw 4 Erlsnger were well
assured by the enthusiasm aroused by their
drama circus. that their enterprise was oil
right as business. no matter II it should be all
wrong as art.
Charles Barnard is dramatist especially
accomplished in making truthful New Eng

knows how to transfer it to the stage. That
