klACARA'S NEW BRIDGE.
1t Will Span the Gorge on the Site OF this
Structure DESTROYED in 1861.

Structure Destroyed in 1864.
4 new suspension bridge is to be
built across the Niagara gorge. Dur.
ing the past two years both of the ia
NOUS suspension bridges ut the falls
have given way to steel arches, and the
new suspension bridge will therefore
be ;he only structure of the kind 10
connect New York state with the Do
mirion of Canada
The bridge will extend from thu
points near the village Of Lewiston,
\. y, and the quaint Old town OF
Q%ueeuston, Ontario, where in 1S5O-51
another suspension bridge was built
TO connect the Lewiston mountain with
Queenston Heights. That old bridge
was many years ahead OF the profitable
demands Of the times, and when it
was destroyed it was never rebuilt.
The wrecking of the old bridge forms
one Of the important vents in the
history Of the Niagara region. Early
III 1864 q mighty mass Of ice came
down the Niagara river from Lake
Erie. The owners OF the bridge we"e
fearful for the safety Of the structure,
foc the guys were anchored just above
high water mark. Orders were issued
10 loosen the guys and lift them up
ont OF the way Of the icy mass. This
was done, the ice jam went out, aud
no damage was caused. The guys
were not r%eanchorel, however. Sud
denly, out from the southwest there
came a fierce gale, which swept down
the Niagara chasm. It caught the
bridge full on the side, and soou the
structure was swinging back and forth.
The men IN charge could do nothing
to protect it from the wind. About
II o'clock on the morning of Feb. l,
1864, it gave a great surge and then
the greater part of it fell into the
river below. It was a complete
wreck. Back and forth the old cables
swung until last fall they were cut
away.
From tower TO tower thespan of the
new bridge will be q little more than
1000 feet, while the spa Of the sus-
pended portion will be about 800 feet.
Tue outside width Of the bridge will
be Is feet, and the roadway will have
a width of % feet. This width OF
floor will afford room for a single troll
ley car track laid through the centre,
with space on either side for teams.
The towers are four in number, two
being on each side Of the river.
