Ali this is because it is worked by steam.

1t takes just eighty pounds of steam to

From the engine-house it is utterly i'm

There was some life in the man, but he

A GREAT BRIDGE.
1t Spans the Creek at
Fourth Street.
TO BE MOVED BY STEAM.
Massive Example Of Mechanical In
genuity Built to Last for
Many Years.

IT'S strange, tits true. The Fourth-street
bridge is at last completed. For long
time people thought the time never would
come when they could walk directly across
where Fourth street ought to be again, but
it has, or at least it's going to come soon.
All that is needed now is to have the
wharf on either side repaired and then the
bridge will wheel into line, fourth street
will cease to part itself in the middle,
something after the manner in which a
dry goods clerk dresses his hair, the Potrero
cars Will run right up to the old stand and
the people who for many months have had
to tramp mile or more over railroad
bridges and then dodge railroad trains for
at least half an hour will begin to feel
happy again.
1t has taken a long time to build that
rawbridge. and the city will have to pay
lot of money for it.
1t is the largest bridge ever constructed
on the Pacific Coast and weighs $50 tons.

HAGAN'S DEATH.
Evidence Taken at the
Inquest.
What Nellie Horton Said Immediately
After the Shooting -Sympathy
of Young Lady Operators.

The inquest upon the body OF Charles
r. Hagans was commenced yesterday
afternoon and the Coroner's Office was
crowded with friends Of the deceased and
of Nellie Horton, the young woman ar
rested for firing the fatal shots. She was
also present and bore the appearance of a
hear tbroken woman. She was represented
by Attorney Alexander Heynemann of
Lloyd, Wood e. Heynemann.
After the jury had been sworn. William
Carroll, janitor at the COroner's Office. tes-
tilted that he identified body at the
Morgue to be that of Charles r. Hagans.
He had known him for six months prior to
January last. At that time Hagans was a
motorman on the San Francisco and San
Mateo Electric railroad
DR.. A. P. O'Brlen testified to making the
autopsy upon the body of The deceased,
and its results. There was a slight abra-
sion on the left hand. There were no
marks or abraslons on the face.
Special Officer Michael Fl. Hussey testi.

made, can easily tell just when his bridge
is in the center OF the creek, and when IL is
in line with the wharf.
There is another service, too. performed
through the machinery stored In this
midair house. Suspended over the build
ing is a signal lamp with red and white
shades, and when the bridge turns 1t
causes the shades to alternate so as TO
show a danger signal to people On the
wharf when the bridge is open and to
masters of vessels when it is closed.
Perhaps. though. the most ingenious de-
vice in the englne-hOuse Is the series OF
cOgs and levers by which the bridge may
be worked quite easily by mana IN case the
engine should break.
BY the simple pulling of lever all the
gearing is made Independent OF the en-
CINE and directly connected with large
windlass for hand service. with the as
sistance of two men the bridge can be
made TO reyolve as rapidly by hand as
when steam power is used. i he mechan-
ism of the bridge is Of the most modern
kind and each part is made to bear Iii
rectly on the main shalt by series OF
gears and cogged wheels.
Beneath the turntable and revolving
upon circular tracks are forty wheels upon
which the bridge turns. These are
driven by means of two sets OF vertical
shafts and driving pins.
The flooring of the bridge is Of seven
foot timbers, and divided into two parts.
Twenty-seven feet in the center are given
up to streetcars and teams, while on each
side a five-foot walk is set apart for
pedestrians
The bridge is technically termed an IN
terchangeab bic one, because it can be made
perform complete revolutions. or half
circle, and both ends tit directly into either
side of the wharf.
On either side its ends rest upon huge
concrete abutments containing 100 tons of
concrete each, and on these are located
locks into which the bridge jacks or
fastenings fit and lock mechanically when
the bridge closes.
The bridge was constructed by B. Nc

ly eaten anything that day. She seemed
to be very much worried, and he thought
that was the cause of the fainting spell.
James Allen Of POT Eddy street. bar
keeper, testified that ne met Nellie Horton
in the hallway and she said: You can
arrest me. I've killed him. He is in the
room. My God! you don't know the
trouble that man has caused me-" She
asked him if her nose was bleeding, and he
told her it was. She asked him to get her
hat, but Officer Hussey came along and he
told him to stay with her till he came back.
She had no hat on then. After Officer
Hussey came back witness went into the
room with a lighted candle and lit one of
the gas Jets. There was no light In the
room at the time. Everything was tossed
about; the mans coat and vest were on
the bureau, the bed looked as if it had
been occupied, and the water pitcher was
broken and lay beside the mans body.
Doddie Schwartz telegraph operator,
gave some unimportant testimony.
The Coroner then adjourned the inquest
till this morning at 1880 O'Clock
AS the prisoner left tie CorOner's Office
she was met by about dozen young lady
telegraph operators, who escorted her in to
the prison and remained with her for some
time. 1t was done as mark OF sympathy
for her.
A reporter of THE CALL spoke to her
yesterday morning and she said everything
that took place on Sunday night seemed
like dream to her. She was mad with
grief and despair.

Cummings. her sister, who was present.

The funeral of Hagans took place yes

A Joker Discovered.

w. W. Rednal presided at Monday
nights meeting OF the Market-street I'M
provement Club. held at 1880 Market street.
Attention was called to the mistaken
idea which the Church-street as well
as other property-owners and resi-
dents in that vicinity had of the
obligations of the Market-st
Railway Company relative to their Church
street franchise. 1t was reported that
there was no law which could compel the
Market-street Company to build the
Church street cable road in two
years, although it had been incor-
porated as a condition of the
franchise secured June g. 1892 Accord
ing to the Civil Code of California, section
502, steel railroad franchises are granted
for three years and the Supervisors or city
officials cannot pass an order or law con-
hicting with the State laws.
When the Church-Street franchise was
granted the Supervisors incorporated it as
condition ana part OF the franchise that
the road must be built within two years.
This it was declared by the executive
committee after an investigation to be
Illegal. aud the railroad company cannot
be made to build or complete the cable road
and have it in operation in less time than
three years if it is not SO inclined.
The company cannot therefore be made
to finish the Church-street road. as is
thought by June next.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-07-12

Every section of it save the foundation
and the flooring is made Of steel and
strongly riyeted together.
The foundation is composed of concrete
resting upon pile flooring driven seventy
feet into the mud. When it was first sug-
gested to drive these piles the claim was
made that such an attempt could not help
result in failure, as the bottom was so soft
that they could not be made to stand firmly.
The result proved differently, however, for
when it came to driving the piles the last
twelve inches the work seemed almost i'm
possible.
Time after time was 3500-pound ham,
mer hoisted thirty feet into the air and
allowed to drop on them, but with no ap-
parent effect. It took several hours to
daive each pile the requisite foot.
1t is the only one of its kind west OF Chi
cnga. Another recommendation, and per-
baps its chief one to people who
know anything about drawbridges which
cross Channel street. is that it works
easily and without a hitch. This
was proved Yesterday, when it was turned
time after time Just to please few per-
sons who stood around and looked at it.
AS to its manner Of construction, we'll
there IS much tndG might Ue Sdlu. Cdppeu
with heavy timber, the foundation was
laid by means of Golfer dams. Just 400
tons Of concrete went into that founda-
tion-an assurance that it must be pretty
solid.
Then the long and tedious work of con-
verting the huge piles of steel braces and
cross pieces into tangible form commenced.
Occasionally the ingenuity or Contractor
McMahon, under whose supervision the
work was carried on. was greatly taxed in
trying to devise ways of getting huge
Orders, weighing tons, into their proper
places; but the work is all over now, and
the bridge stands handsome and COM
pete.
Although of rather artistic appearance
and presenting not uuattractive sight,
the merit of the structure cannot be un-
derssood till a knowledge of its mechanical
parts is obtained.
The bridge is 176 feet in length. 81 feet
