The P..tuNent Bridge.

The conference committee which was
appointed by the Senate and House 10
consider the Washington aad Chesapeake
Beach Railway, met Tuesday The bill
WAS introduced in the House by Delegate
Clancy, of Calvert county. After pass,
ate by President Randall. The bill was
then returned to the House, which refus-
e to concur in the Senate amendment.
The conference committee heard Mr.
Henry Williams and Capt. Gourley, req
resenting the Weems Steamboat Company
who spoke in favor of the adoption of the
Senate amendment, which provided that
III :s'iington and Chesapeake Railroad
sLo~iI change the proposed location of
the bridge over the PatuXent river at IA
point known as Mr.. Calvert" in Prince
Georges county, to point in Anne Arun-
del county near Leon. The location of
the proposed bridge is just below Bristol
wharf and Mr. " iliiams desires it moved
up little further, so us be above the
wharf and above navigation.
Mr.. Williams, in presenting his obicc
ton, said he desired to call the attention
Of the committee to what he thought
would be unwisc legislation, aS the pro
position to build bridge across the Pa
tuXent river al this point would entail
danger to the passage of steamers up ant
down the river The parrowness Of tn,
stream. the crookedness of the channel
and swift current at that point woult
greatly interfere with the passage of boat:
of all Classes using those waters.
Mr.. Williams asked that the committe,
adopt the Senate amendment, which
would require the removal Of the bldg
Just above Bristol, which is about on,
mile north of the proposed location.
Capt. James Gourley, who has for man,
years nayisated the river, also opposed
the building Of the bridge and gave TIL
committee the benefit of his; practical cX
pcrience in handling steamers along til,
river.
Mr. Otto Mears, who said he was buid
