MORE BRIDGES DEMANDED.
OPINIONS AS TO THE NEED FOR BETTER
FACILITIES FOR TRAVEL
PRESIDENT BERRrs IDEA OF STRUCTURE
FOR RAILROADS DEFENDED-AN INCREASE
IN THE NUMBER OF SPANS WOULD

bOROJGHS OF THE
GREATER CITY
In answer 10 some OF the adverse remarks
called out by his advocacy OF bridge across
The East River exclusively for elevated and troll
lev railroad cars William Berri. president of the
New-York and Brooklyn Bridge. had this to say
n Saturday:
Il think that If the gentlemen who object to
all-railroad bridge understood the subject
more thoroughly they would change thei:
Jews. / have given a good deal of attention
% the matter. and am convinced from the in
,ormation that has come to me that II such a
bridge were built the railroads stand ready TO
lease il at figure that would more than pay
the interest on the bonds which would be Issued
10 construct it. The other day put the cost
at $60000OO but II Is my opinion that such a
bridge could be built for $oWO.OOO. That is a
mere trfe for the city Of Greater New York TO
spend In view of the return 1t will get from the
outlay The present Bridge cost, exclusive OF
the land. S900OO00 A bridge for railroads
alone could be built for much less. and much less
land would be needed for approaches stations
etc Practically terminals would be re-
CURED .,r,. will
have room for six railroad tracks, and when II
is completed, this part of the city Will be at a
great disadvantage compared with that, since
the facilities for crossing The river from the
Eastern District will be so much greater IMAM
they can be here The new bridge is being built
in the light of thirty years experience. The
conditions that exist now could not have been
anticipated at the time the present bridge was
planned. Elevated railroads and trolley-ca's
were unknown and undreamed of We are
irving to do the best we can with the present
Bridge and enlarge its capacity as much as pos
sble but II is impossible to make 1t over
"As for the proposed all-railroad bridge, l
have 10 definite idea as to the best location out
l am certain that it should he near the present
bridge to enable this part Of the city to hold It's
own 1t is possible that such a bridge Nigh:
start from the present terminus In Brooklyn ana
reach another point In NewYork In which case
there would be no cos. for termina! at this emo.
II is a suggestive fact III the light OF what mas
been done and is now contemplat ted with our
Bridge, that the original plan for running cars
was 10 operate trains Of six or seven cars on the
shuttle system. and YOU can now see the long
platforms that were built in Brooklyn for carry
ing out tina. scheme. They had no idea thirty
years ago Of what would be demanded now.
IT have been glad 10 see the unanimity OF sentl-

NOT OPPOSED TO TRoLLEY-CARs.

The impression has been created by the con-
struction put on certain remarks recently maze
by ex-Mayor Schieren that he is opposed to the
running OF trolley-cars across the Brooklyn
Bridge Mr. Schiercn says that he is rot opposed
70 this, provided the cars can be run on the
Bridge without interfering with other traffic. lie
believes that all possible facilities should be pro
s!ded 10 enable the people Of Brooklyn 10 get 10
New-York rapidly and easily. and he Is an
earnest believer in the policy of running ele-
waited trains directly TO New-York. The only
question that has arisen In his mind is as TO the
pIacucability OF running troey-cars on the road
ways without interfering with it's Use by vehicles
orawn by horses. If both classes Of travel can be
accommodated he has objection to the cars

pidity to Market street, involving in
its devouring progress the Miller

1t has been held that consumption is
and the fact that one per-
son of a family had died with consump-
ton was considered a sure sign that
others of that family could not escape
it. This is partly true and partly un-
true. A man with weak lungs is like
ly to transmit that weakness to his
children. But there is no reason in
the world why the weakness should be
allowed to develop. Keep the lungs
full of rich, red, wholesome blood, and
the weakness will disappear. Decay
ing tissues will be thrown off. and new
material will be added until the lungs
are well and perfectly strong again.
This is the thing that DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery does. This
is what makes it cure SO per cent. of all
cases of consumption where it is taken
according in directions. 1t searches
out disease germs wherever they may
be in the body and forces them out OF
the system. 1t supplies the blood with
rich, life giving properties. It makes
the appetite good, digestion perfect.

Atlanta Owned by One Man.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, in allud-
ing to the suicide in Atlanta of Mrs.
Bidwell, the wife Of Zion Bidwell. ven.
cradle printer, says: "During the dark
days of reconstruction Uncle Zion was
an aged man and his eccentricities made
him notable character among the
printers of the city. The craft numbered
nearly 200 then, as typesetting machines
were MT in use and only hand compost
tion filed the columns of the newspapers.
There were morning newspapers, and in
their rivalry to crush each other compos-
itors were in constant demand at good
wages.
.'Bidwell at that time boasted of once
having owned Atlanta, now the capitol
CT the State, and how foolishly he parted
with his unknown wealth of millions.
The story he told was that his family
owned the land on which Marthaville was
built, and they exchanged the entire
tract for an Indian pony. That was long
before the days of railway communica-
tion, when the pioneers of that section
never dreamed that the densest popula-
tion of the State whould have Martha
vile, now Atlanta, as the centre.
Whether Bidwell owned the land OF not,
the newspapers have told the story over
and over again, evidently believing it to
be true.''
