family, whose ancestors helped to make

FINISHING THE BRIDGE.
Rain of the Past Week Has Delayed the
Operations.

The rein Of this week has seriously
hampered the fipishing operations Of
the new Rock Island bridge. Mon
day. in fact, no work whatever was
accomplished. Daring damp weather
rivelipg is not a safe process. as
the rIvets are inserted red hot, and
the expert manner in which they are
handled from the time they are ia
ken from the furnace until they are
tossed to the skilled artisan, who
puts them in place. is one of the
most unique features OF bridge con-
struction. The floor layers and the
Tri-City Railway company's track
and overhead forces have kent on the
heels OF the steel men, and all is
practically ready now as soon as
various matters OF detail are dis
posed Of.
The Tri-City Railway company is
now ready to run with the exception
OF connecting up at the Davenport
end. and three hours work would
suffice for that. Were the traveller
to be removed today the cars could
be running on the bridge line TO-
morrow.
Some time ago Col. A. X. Bufiing-
ton stated that he would drive over
the bridge Thanksgiving morning on
his way TO Davenport to attend
divine service at the cathedral there.
While the bridge will not be ready
for the public tomorrow the proba-
bilities are that the colonel, soldier
