WOODEN BRIDGE WASHED AWAY.
scabOnrd Has Not Yet Completed Its
New steel Bridge.

New Steel bridge.
Columbia. S. c., Feb 1.-THE connec-
tions of the Seaboard between Camden
and Casey's, just across the Congaree riv-
er from Columbia have been delayed by
the freshets in the Wateree river at
Camden, and. the Congaree at Columbia.
Pending the slow building of the steel
bridge over the former, a wooden trestle
had been constructed over which trains
had already been run. All the iron and
material from the North for this end of
the line being brought over that trestle.
This wooden bridge has been swept away
and besides causing considerable finan-
cial loss will delay the connection with
the Florida Central and Peninsular for
an indefinite time.
Had the wooden bridge not given way
as soon as 1t did, the timbers would have
taken away the uncompleted steel bridge,
but the wrecked structure passed under
the steel works. Two days later 1t would
have demolished the other.
AT Columbia the temporary bridge has
been carried away. This was used to car
ry material to workmen on the granite
piers.
The building on the other part of the
road has progressed rapidly. Track has
been laid to Columbia and the only sec
ton uncompleted is from the city limits
to the river bridge

Portsmouth. Va, Feb. 14.-Referring to
the temporary delay. by the Virginia Leg
islature to grant the charter TO the Sea-
board Air Line to extend it's line all the
way to Washington, the bin having once
passed the Committee on Roads, and later
having been referred for unknown rea-
sons, to the Committee on Finance, Mr.
John Shelton Williams, president of the
Seaboard Air Line, said tonight in an
interview on the subject:
The only possible value that this char
ter could be to us would be for the pur-
pose of constructing the road, since we
have shown that we have had no inten-
ton of coercing the Richmond, Frederlcks-
burg and Potomac into agreeing to an
amendment which would absolutely pre-
vent us from making with that company
any traffic arrangements more favorable
than that we now have
I'm buying the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac stock at $200 per share
we are paying for that road on a basis of
about 900 per mile, or about three times
what it would cost us to build an entirely
new road from Richmond to Washington
In other words. we are paying for this
piece of property at a higher rate than
any piece of railroad in the Southern
states is now selling for based upon the
market value of its securities. We are I'M
willing to go any further
1--WE are fully aware of the schemes
which are being contrived by the enemies
Of the Richmond and Washington road TO
kill the charter by delay or by lacking on
amendments which no reasonable man or
set of men would be likely to consent to.
We shall know very soon whether these
plans to throttle an enterprise for which
the people of Virginia, indeed of the
whole South, are now crying aloud, will
succeed -
