A MIGHTY FEAT.
Iron Bridge Replaced by One Of Steel
in Two and One-tialf Minutes.
The Span Was a4e Feet Long, rs Feet wide
and 80 Feet Deep Nearly 100 Tons OF
steel and Iron Moved "A Distance OF
at Least 20 Feet.

PHILADELPHIA Oct. lS.-The feat Of
replacing an iron bridge span 2i2 feet
long, 25 feet wide and 80 feet in depth
with one of the same dimensions of
steel was accomplished in this city Sun.
day In two minutes and 32 seconds. In
this space of time nearly l,7O0 tons of
iron and steel were moved a distance of
25 feet, and there was not slip or a
hitch In the entire proceedings. This
remarkable feat of engineering was ac-
complished at what is known as the
connecting railroad bridge over the
Schuylki.l just above Girard avenue.
1t is the bridge that bears the tracks of
the New York division of the Pennsyl.
vania railroad, the busiest division of
the Pennsylvania system
The time set for the replacement was
the 4s minutes intervening between
the passage over the bridge of the
Chestnut Hill accommodation trains
leaving Broad street station at 2:47 p.
m and at 1886 p. m.
A work train crossed the eastern end
of the bridge and stopped. The gangs
Of trackInen began to unspike the rails
of the westbound track on the old
span. This done, the grapplers of the
work train took hold of the ends OF
the rails, the engine started up and the
entire length of rails, 242 feet, was
snaked off in short order.
Meanwhile four stationary engines
one at each end on n level with the
bridge foundations and another at cacl
| end on scows securely moorcd at TIL,
base of the bridge piers, were putting
and emphasizing their readiness fol
the task they had to do. There wu'
! said to bc less than u hundred hors,

gines, yet SO well was everything ar
ranged that they moved the leviathar
without any apparent overeXertion.
Then the signal was given for the lit

selves. 1t seemed as If they all started
at the identical instant There was

= The extreme heat of Saturday and
Friday had much to do with fastening
death. On Friday Mr. Dana showed
signs of distress, and everything pos
sible was done to relieve him. He had
been weakened by his long illness, and
during the summer was several times
thought to be on the verge of a fatal
collapse, but each time rallied. He did
not improve much with the coming
cooler weather and the sinking spells
became more frequent.
On Friday Mr.. Dana was able to take
only the lightest nourishment and this
condition continued. Paul Dana and
his sisters, Mrs. Draper, Mrs. Under
hill and Mrs. Branan were at his home
on Saturday morning and were warned
to remain there. They were at the
bedside when death came.
