The Kinzua Viaduct.

The current number of the Scientific
American devotes it's front page to a
series of photographs showing the
progress and mode of reconstructing
the Kinzua viaduct. The following
facts are CLEANED from a descriptive
article:
"The bridge serves to carry the rail
road across deep and comparatively
narrow valley. The floor of the bridge
is 1000 feet above the level of the sea,
and has long since been one of the
show features OF the Erie road. The
new structure takes the place of an
iron bridge which was erected in 1882.
The reconstruction of the viaduct is
due, not to any defects or decay in the
old structure, but to the great increase
which has taken place of late years in
the weight of the engines and rolling
stock. The greater strength of the
new viaduct results from the greater
weight of the material used, $500 tons
as against $500, from the improved
materials of construction mild steel
taking the place of iron) and from the
more scientific distribution of the ma
terial. The only portion of the old
structure that remains is the founda-
tions. From popular point of view
the most interesting feature in connec-
ton with the reconstruction of the
bridge is the method adopted in re-
moving the old bridge and building up
the new structure in it's place. For
this purpose two travellers, each con-
sisting of a complete Howe truss tim
ber bridge, 1870 feet in length, were
constructed and run out over the old
bridge. The method of operating them
is as follows: The traveller was run
over the particular tower which was to
be removed, and the spans, that is
those between three towers, and over
the tower itsef, were removed and then
the material of the tower was cut loose,
section by section, drawn up by a
hoisting cable to the traveller, and run
out on the permanent structure and
removed to either shore. After the
old tower had been taken away,
the material for the new tower was
run out over the bridge to the traveller,
lowered into place and riveted up.
Two travellers worked from opposite
ends of the bridge and finally met in
the center. Traffic was suspended on
May 18th last. The work of recon
struction commenced May goth, and
this important work has been success
fully carried out in the interim, by q
force of from 40 to $50 men,"

best citizens from the malice and foul
abuse heaped upon him in the interests
of a man who is notoriously his inferior
in all essential respects.
Warren Mirror
They have voted to send back to
Congress "the best Congressman the
district ever had," as Lew Emery's
paper puts it. And Mr.. Sibley has
come out of this campaign with his
escutcheon untarnished-therea are no
marks upon it. And he is firm in the
stand that he has never drawn an old
and rusty knife and tried to shove it
into the anatomy of political oppon-
ent. Sibley fights above board, not
under cover. And when they want to
find the man who is known all over the
country as ''Honest Joe," there is no
doubt where he stands. He is always
open and above board in his manner of
doing business. And his address is
still at Franklin, Pa, even though he
| does go back to Congress for period
of couple of years more.
| Bradford Era.
The election of Mr.. Sibley was grand
testimonial to the popularity of that
gentleman's personality. The feat of
leaving one party, espousing the cause
of another and then receiving the NOM
ination and a triumphant election from
the party which he has joined, was a
test that but few men could have with
stood.
To say that Mr.. Sibley's election is
the result of corruption is only to pro-
long the follies of the foolish campaign
that was waged against the Republican
candidate for Congress. Ifvoters were
not for sale in Mexican county, where
Mr.. Emery received a handsome plur-
ality, neither were their neighbors for
sale in Warren, Venango or Cameron
counties. We are all free and inde-
pendent citizens of Pennsylvania and a
county line cannot be marked about
any one community which has a mo-
nopoly of political rectitude. Men av-
erage alike generally. 1t is natural
that the defeated ones should ascribe
various post-election reasons to break
the force of their fall, but if the friends
of Mr.. Emery are wise they will see
that if the contest was fair in McKean
county, it was also fair in the other
counties. The fact is, that outside of
Mexican county, where Mr. Emery has
hosts of personal friends and warm ad-
mirers, Mr.. Sibley was too strong a
candidate to he overcome Sibley's
election was Sibley's vindication.
