merce demands that there be but one
bridge across the estuary instead of the
two structures that now obstruct naviga-
ton. Attention is now being given to the
best design for new steel bridge, and the
most feasible plan yet presented is that of
A. w. Pattiani, an architect of this city.
The plans drawn by Mr.. Pattiani have
been submitted to practical engineers and
pronounced perfectly feasible. They con-
tain all the suggestions and ideas neces-
sary to reconcile the various interests in
volved.
The main features of the new plan as
outlined by the engineer are:
First-It removes Webster street bridge
and secures a new one at Alice street
which will meet the demands of the United
States Government.
Second-It carries the narrow-gauee

OAKLAND, CAL, April s.-The suit of
]. N Barstow and Alice c. Barstow
against the Alameda, Oakland and Pied
mont Electric Railroad Company for s25.
600 as damages for injuries received, was
begun here to-day. The attorneys are pre-
pairing for big contest as the suit is
somewhat unique and involves some nice
points OF law as to the rights OF the road,
and the matter of negligence as between
bicyclists and persons IN charge of electric
cars.
The complaint sets forth ''that on March
70. 1895, Mrs. Alice C. Barstow was law
fully upon Santa Clara avenue in the city
OF Alameda, and was riding bicycle
along Santa Clara avenue. when the
defendant was SO careless, reckless,
negligent and unskiilful in the manage

repair the Alice-street bridge is regarded
with suspicion by people whose interests
are most concerned. They see in it
scheme to lead both tracks across it and
leave the county to do as it pleases with
the Webster bridge. To do this, however,
the railroad company will have to obtain
the consent OF Colonel Suter to maintain
a bridge OF narrower width than that
generally permitted, and 1t is not thought
that lie will allow any such evasion.

THROWN OUT OF COURT.
The Suit Of Jeremiah True IS. tie siains
Central Decided for Rad.

Boston, Jan. OF SpeciaD. The suit OF
the heirs of the late jeremiah True OF
Richmond. vs. the Maine Central, has
been on trial in the superior court for the
past two days before Judge Griffith and
came to an abrupt end, today, by tt e
Judge throwing the case out of court.
True while crossing the company's tras k
in Richmond, in 1887, was struck by AN
express train, being terribly injured, and
died in the following September
The damages claimed by the heirs was
$4,000. A large number of witnesses We're
present from Richmond.
NIhe point was brought out that the
horsa driven by True seemed to realize
the approach OF the train aud started up,
while neither True or boy with him saw
or heard the train.
Tne judge, after the plaintiffs evidence
was in and before arguments We're made
decided that as the horse realized and APP
preoiated the approach of the train, the
driver of said horse could not have exer-
else proper care or caution in approach
ing the crossing, and his injuries and
death renlte,s from such negligence on
his part.
After announcing this decision, the
Judge very soon settled the whole matter
by taking the case from the jury and
throwing it out of court by ordering u
nou-su't.
