THE NEW BRIDGE.

The new bridge at Richmond ford,
spanning Tinker creek in the Northeast
ern portion of the city, OH the Lynch,
burg and Salem turnpike, was ins pected
yesterday afternoon by the sire ct commit
tee, the commissioners on the part of
Roanoke county, and the city engineer.
Several members of the City Counil were
present. and representatives of the Vir-
GINA Bridge and Iron Company, con-
tractors for the bridge. The work was
found to be satisfactory, but wa $ not nc
copied, owing to the incomplete condition
of the approaches, though the bridge is
practically open to travel. 1t will be en-
tirely completed within the next few
days, and the approaches on either bank
will be macadamized. The bridge, in
Guiding the 'abutments, was built wholly
by the Virginia Bridge and iron Com
pany. of this city, and is to be paid for
equally by the city and county. The con-
tract price. complete, Including abut-
ments, was Sl,99S 1t is single span
ITO feet long, with 1G foot roadway, "a nd
vehicles may pass each other without
trouble. There was no ceremony incident
to the inspection, though it was reported
that u blowout" would be held on the
bridge. 1t 'Yas indeed blow out to
some of those present. In order to keep
from freezing they had to build u fire.
The wood, however. was green and re.
fused to burn, and quick work was made
OF the inspection. The wind swept down
the creek with such fury that all formal
ity was dispensed with.

THE MONEY RET ,,RNEp.

John Woods, the colored man who was
arrested for taking $40 from an old lady
on Campbell street, WAS dismissed yester-
day from custody as the money had been
refunded to the lady. In our account of
the arrest yesterday we may have mad
vertently lett the impression that Hunter
u 20. knew of and were responsible for
tie action of the negro, and If so we
would hasten to correct any such errone-
Gus idea as these gentlemen were very
much surprised to hear of it and prompt
ly refunded to the old lady the amount
she lost and also promptly discharged the
negro in question.

MAY LEAVE ROANOKE.

Mr.. ]. d. Price, formerly assistant
train master on the Radford division, has
rendered his resignation much to the re-
gret OF his many employees. He came
here about nine years ago from Balti-
more. and since that time has won for
himself in Hoanoke the highest esteem.
1t is not yet ascertained where he will
reside in the future. but his many
friends think he will 90 South However
should he 20 elsewhere it will be that
city's gain and Roanoke's loss. Mr. Price
has the best wishes for success in the fu.
cure.
