New York July 10. - Two children

in Jersey City today; their parents are
both so badly injured that they may

probably fatally burned, and police
man sustained burns and inhaled
smoke in such quantities that he may
die
The fire broke out about o'clock in

drove him insane. He interfered with
the policemen and fought with them

him and managed to hold him whiie

1O-year-old boy, and Bertha, his Il
year-old sister, and carried them into

died from suffocation.
Policeman Bunnell tainted and was
carried into the hospital, where II was

the inhalation of smoke. Zigler broke

as Jerolamen was concerned, it was as
If his wife was not living.
She bore the slight without a muir
muir. He dined In silence and alone,
and so did she. Often Mrs. Jerolamen
had to speak to her husband in refer
ence to household affairs, but he never
answered.
He was church member, being one
of the organizers of the Mount Airing
ton Methodist Episcopal Church. In
1874 the town was divided on the cues
ton Of prohibition. The old man tried
to induce the members of the church
to indorse the cold water ticket at the
town election, but they refused. He
swOre that he would never go to church
again. He kept his word in this as he
had toward his wife.
Thus his life went ON In silence and
gloom. One morning he could not
arise, for pneumonia had Laid its grip
upon him. He was so years old, and
he felt that he could not recover. His
wife bent over him with a love that all
his harshness never had killed. He
saw the Light in her eyes, and feebly
essaying to take her hand, he sobbed:
Dear I'm so sorry. Will you for

Forgive him? Would she? Kneel-
1 ing by the dying mans bedside she
wept softly, while he, with tongue
freed at last, rambled ON deliriously
about old times. She did not leave
him until the end came He died with
his hand in hers and look of happd-
ness that his face had not borne in
twenty years.

BRIDGE OF GREAT SIZE.
It Is to Span the Mississippi Above
New Orleans.

new OTiedns.
e. L. Corthell, chief engineer, and
E. IL. Conner, assistant engineer, have
just completed the drawings and stud
les for a bridge so remarkable that it
will attract general attention through
out the civilized world. 1t is to span
Point, between four and five miles
above New Orleans.
This bridge is to be a railroad struc.
ture, double tracked, connecting all
lines ON the east and west banks of the
river. 1t Will be when the river is at
it's highest, IS feet from the waters
surface. At the point where water
meets the land, the height of the rail
will be 100 feet above the earth. Al
each end of this great structure, the
approach will be 0.5S0 feet long, the
grade being 1.5 per cent. The length Of
the structure between piers will be
$3.50 feet. The length from approach
to approach, the points referred to be-
ing those farthest from the shore, will
be 15.4O0 feet, total length of nearly
three miles.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the bridge from an engineering
standpoint is the great length of clear
span required, 1000 feet. This fact
must be considered carefully, because
only when this Is tie case can the great
task THAI confronts the engineers be
appreciated, owing to the character of
the river bed. The bed of the Missis-
sippi River at this point, and the
ground far ON each side, Is all alluvial
material upon sand. The ground over
which the approaches pass is made en-
tirely Of river deposits. Behring'S to the
depth of over a thousand feet have
been made in New Orleans, and moth
ing encountered except loan, sand, and
some shallow layers Of clay.
The bed of the Mississippi few feet
below the surface is of clean sand On
either side and beneath the sites OF the
proposed approaches, borings have been
made 200 feet deep. Fifty feet below
low WAGER mark, clean sand was found
which grew coarser as the depth of the
borings increased. 1t is upon this sort
of bottom that the foundations of this
tremendous structure must rest. The
shore piers will rest ON pneumatic Gals
sons sunk 100 feet below low water
mark. The piers are to be constructed
of what is called granite face stones
and concrete backing.
An excellent idea of the immensely
of the structure can be gained from the
fact that the total height of the river
piers from the bases of the caissons to
the top of the ornament ON the truss
post will be $50 feet. The approach
spans of the bridge are to be supported
upon steel towers of enormous tensile
strength. The total length of the iror
structure will be 1854 feet, a ler 9Th
of this sort of which no bridge in the
world can boast.
1t seems to the engineering world bu
a short time ago that all creation was
talking of the Eads bridge at st. Louis

and the hitherto obscure Government
engineer achieved almost in a night
lasting fame. The Southern Pacific
bridge across the Mississippi above
New Orleans, while in one way less the
work Of genius than the first mention
ed, is really the most tremendous struc-
ture in the way of a railroad bridge
ever planned. The best known engi-
neers pronounce it, taken as a whole,
one of the engineering marvels of the
century.

This Important Thuroughfare Will Be
Graded and Bituminized.
The Richmond people with but few ex-
ceptions are delighted over the prospect
of getting First avenue, from the military
reservation to the Golden Gate Park, paved
with bitumen.
1t is the wish of the residents of this
favored section to have this thoroughfare
declared a boulevard as soon as it is put
in proper cond ton. To that end there is
a petition now before the Supervisors to
lop off three feet from each of the side
walks, which Will be added to the width
OF the street, thereby leaving the walks
seventeen feet wide, which is considered
ample for present and future use.
This beautiful boulevard will, when
complete, make a continuous driveway
not only from the Presidio. but the en-
tire northern district, to and through the
park. In addition to this boon the south
ern boulevard on Seventh avenue, which
has been graded by Captain John Tuttle
as far as NJ street, will lead direct to
Ingleside race course. A portion of this
avenue still remains to be graded, but
from present calcu ations this work will
soon be done, as it is contenp plated to put
the unem ployed men who now desire
work on the job.
The opposition of few of the property
owners to the improving of First avenue
has been overcome by the urgent neces-
sity OF repairing this, one OF the most
i'm portant outlets to the r chmond.
The Presidio Heights Improvement
Club has been urging the grading and
paving OF First avenue for q number OF
years, but the last Board of Supervisor.
turned deaf ear TO its wishes in that di-
rection. But now the members OF the
club, together with the Point Lobos Club,
congratulate themselves on getting what
