a SOLID BRIDGE.
Supervisors Inspect the One Over the
American River.

a careful examination was made by
the Supervisors yesterday of the big
bridge over the American River, ON the
Twelfth street road, recently recon-
structed by Darby Laydon.
The structure is now practically new
throughout as it was found on a thor
ough examination Of the old bridge that
there was comparatively little of it that
was worth retaining.
Steel-foor beams were substituted for
the old wooden ones, and the bulk
heads at either end Of the bridge have
been rebuilt in a more substantial man
her than heretofore. The bridge is now
as good as new, and much more sub
stantia1 than it ever was. All who have
inspected ii are impressed with this
tact, and apparently the members of
the board are satisfied with the work,
although it was not discussed after they
reassenbled yesterday.

MORE ELECTRICITY.
The County Hospital to Have Modern
Lights and Power.

The Board Of Supervisors yesterday
adopted resolution. offered by Mr.. Cur
lis, directing Clerk Hamilton to adver-
tise for bids for supplying the County
Hospital with electric lights and cleo
tricity for motive power for operating
its pumping plant.
It is estimated that the county can
save considerable sum by the use of
electricity-probably enough the first
year to pay for all the extra expense in
volved.
An order was also made for a metallic

seen therefore that Mr.. Cram ran 500
votes behind his ticket, and the only

it is, that he had vigorously enforced the

from Mr.. Grants vote he will be 621 be-

Miss Barton has decided to go to Turkey
in spite of the Sultan refusal to permits
the He'd Gross Society to enter Armenia.
Probably she goes with the idea that she
may be able in some way, to change the
Sultan's mind and get the required per-
mission. But the prospect is dubious.
The powers have had little success in their
efforts to make him conform to the pro-
grafnme of reform which they drew up
nearly year ago. They have got prom
fses out of him, but none Of them have
been fulfilled. II they should use their
good offices to get for Miss Barton the
permission she desires, it is not probable
that they would succeed. There is little
chance that the Red Cross will get into
Armenia, but as Miss Barton's attempt
will serve to emphasize the Sultan's re-
fusal to allow relief to be carried to his
starving subjects, it will not be in vain.
Every new disclosure of Turkish barbar-
ity and fanaticism tends to hasten his de-
parture from Europe.

detailed them before in the English press
On the other hand the evidence that the
Defender was not tempered with, was
conclusive and overwhelming. While
finding that his charges were utterly
unfounded, it is said the com mi ttee would
not bear down very hard on Dunraven.
Perhaps this is just as we'll, for it is

place him in more humiliating position
