FOLSOM'S new BRIDGE.
Work viii Be Commenced on Its
Construction Immediately.
The State Prison Authorities VIII Put
Up a Temporary Bridge and
Remove the Old One.

Brainard F. Smith, Clerk at the Fol-
som Penitentiary, appeared before the
Board of Supervisors yesterday, and, on
behalf of the State Prison Directors and
warden Aull, made proposition to take
away the remains of the old suspension
bridge which recently collapsed at Fol-
som.
Mr.. Smith said that the people of Fol-
som were sadly in need of a new bridge,
and the prison people proposed to erect a
substantial temporary wagon bridge
across the American River, near the site
Of the old bridge, which would be fin
ished in less than two weeks, and which
would answer all purposes until the new
steel bridge is finished. All that was
asked in return was that the prison peo-
pie should have the old suspension
bridge. Mr.. Smith explained that the
iron in it could be made good use of in
welghting down the accumulators in the
new pOWer-house and the other material
would come in handy and would save the
directors having to purchase similar ma
terial and pay freight from Sacramento or
( San Francisco
The Supervisors looked on the PROPOSE
ton favOrably.
Chairman Greer said he hailed with Joy
any plan whereby the people OF Folsom
could be provided with some means of
getting across the river with their teams.
The town had suffered greatly since the
collapse of the old bridge, and every day
OF delay added to the injury. He had
been negotiating with q contractor for
/ temporary bridge, and looked upon Mr..
Smiths offer as a very opportune one.
Supervisor Bates moved that Mr..
SMITHS proposition be accepted, and the
motion was carried by unanimous vote.
The contract Tor building the new steel
! bridge at OLSON was signed yesterday.
and the san Francisco Bridge Company
/ VIII proceed ut once with the work. 1t
Is thought that the structure viii be COM
/ pleted iii q little. less than three months.
/ The Supervisors feel that they acted
/ wisely in ordering an all steel structure.
! ''Of course" " remarked Mr.. Greer yester-
day, "a steel bridge costs more than any
other kind, but | am satisfied they are
/ the cheapest in the long run. We had to
/ look ahead of the present. too. 1t will
/ not be long when FolSOm's great water
power plant will be finished, and then
everything in Sacramento and Folsom
will be run by electricity. There will he
an electric railway connecting Folsom
with neighbOring towns, and it will have
/ to cross this bridge. We had to put up
/ bridge strong enough to accommodate
anything OF the kind, in addition to the
Irregular hauling traffic. We feel that we
! did a wise thing III letting the contract to
! the San francisco Company. 1t is prob
! ably the oldest and most reliable on the
coast, and has put up a large number OF
| Just such bridges as we want at Folsom"
; The new bridge is calculated to carry a
dead weight of l,250 pounds to the lineal
! foot, or over 200 tons in all, with 10 per
! cent. to spare.

DIED OF PERITONITIS.
Alleged Suspicious Death of a Young
sacramento Woman,

Alleged suspicious Death of a Young
sacramento Woman.
A San Francisco paper of last evening
has the following: 'Mary a. Brannigan.
young woman from Sacramento, who
has been stopping with relatives at 3I7
Golden Gate avenue, died last night from
peritonitis. The case looked very like
one of malpractice, and though a death
certificate was given by Drs. Nathan
Rogers and Fraze1l, the Health Officers
refused to accept it, and McGinn Bros,
the undertakers, reported the matter to
the Coroner.
'An autopsy was held at the Morgue
this afternoon by DR.. K. Z. Williams,
and developed the fact that peritonitis
had caused death. There was no evidence
that any crime had been committed, and
the death might have been accidental.
An inquest will be held to determine the
matter.
1.-The girl had been in San Francisco
but a few days and her condition was
never suspected by her relatives When
she became i'll DIR. Frazell was called in.
He at once suspected that all was not
right, and questioned the girl closely.
She declared that she had not had any
operation performed and that she had not
been in condition to make an operation
necessary. DR.. Rogers was called into
consultation and the same statement was
made to him.

Burg.

Il
Burg.
Occasional Correspondence.l
The weather still continues cool and
pleasant, with cold nights.
Mrs. Lilly of Lodi spent few days last
week with Mr.. and Mrs. Carlton of this
place.
Mr.. Thornton, proprietor of the New
Hope store and hotel, has been sick for
several days past.
School will commence the middle of
next month. One great convenience we
notice is good, substantial shed that
will hold several horses, fitted up with
good managers, for the use of the teachers
and pupils horses, as some Of the scholars
come three miles or more.
Mrs. Dufour of Wisconsin, but a pre-
vious resident of Lodi, is here spending
the summer with her siSter-in-law, Mrs
Carlton.
Mr.. Houskin is shipping fine lot of
fruit. He also has four siX-horse teams
hauling grain to the landing Iunder-
stand he had 5000 sacks Of small grain
this season.
Mr.. Powell has proved himself quite a
genius by taking two old and apparently
worthless harvesters apart and convert
ing them into one good one.
This community was sadly shocked
last week by two deaths in our midst.
One was the wife OF Mr.. johnson, at New
Hope Landing. Her death was very sud-
den, and occurred while she was prepar-
ing dinner. She leaves a husband to
mourn her loss, but no children.
Mrs. James Perrott died in San Fran
cisco while undergoing surgical oper-
alton for cancer OF the stomach. She was
well and favorably known, and the rela-
tives have the sympathy of all in their
great sorrow.
Roads are very dusty now, The wind
just sets the dust a-rolling in clouds, but
dust is preferable to hot, sultry days, and
we are thankful that here no one suffers
with heat.
Last week 1 forgot to mention the fact
that New Hope is supplied with daily
mail. The mail wagon leaves here near
4. N. for Lodi. returning at 4:30 p. NJ.
We enjoy the daily papers of San Fran
cisco and Sacramento. The mail wagon
also carries passengers to and from Lodi.
We also have a Wells Fargo Express
Office in connection with the Postotfice,
Mr.. Johnson, the gentlemanly clerk in
Mr.. ThOrnton's store, has held his posi-
ton there since 1876, having been absent
only about seventeen months during all
these years.
The telephone line from Walnut Grove
to Woodbridge has changed hands. The
new company are setting new posts
and repairing the line. You see a teIe-
phone line is another thing that New
Hope boasts of, and all hope to see many
improvements in a few years more.
Mr.. Thornton is mourning J. f.
Moseley's departure to the tune of $1,000
or $4,000.
The Changers are so busy now they
hold their meetings after night. Last
Saturday night was their regular meet
ing, and although the men had worked
hard all day III the harvest or hay fields,
there was a good crowd out
Church next Sunday at 10 A. NJ.

When the train arrived Ferral was at

get off on the opposite side of the train
and try to avoid observation.
When arrested he denied being wanted
for anything, and wanted the officer to
look after another passenger. AS he an
swered the description he was taken to
the police station, and after considerable
questioning by the Chief finally admitted
that he might be the man who skipped

Concerning the Hessians.
GEOR6ETowN. July

NEOhOEIOWN, July 1oIn.
EDS. RECORD UNION: l have just been
reading the piece in your paper of yester-
day which relates as to who the Hessians
were, and l can say, for one, that there is
great deal of truth in your statement as
to how they were torn from their families
without an opportunity of even bidding
their friends farewell. They were COM
PEELED TO lift unwilling hands against
those they would gladly have protected.
My grandfather, James Jerrett, was one
OF General Burgoyne's soldiers, and when
he learned what the Americans (or, as
Burgoyne called "Blarsted Hankees")
We're fighting Tor, he deserted Burgoyne
near Saratoga, n. Y, and joined the
American army, and was as true sol
dler to the American cause Of liberty as
ever shouldered musket, until the end
OF the war. Then he was discharged, and
settled down to farming near Oswego,
\. Y, and raised large family, and was
as true to American principles as any
man could be, during his lie. Very truly
yours, d. JERRETT.
