Designs for the structure in the
Hands of Colonel Allen.

The plans for the new railroad bridge to
be erected by the Baltimore and Potomac
Railway Company across the Potomac
about 500 feet above the present Long
Bridge. have been submitted to the Secre-
taTy of War by the engineer of the rail-
way company. The drawings are now in
the hands of Colonel Allen, the president
of the board of army officers who have the
construction of the bridge in hand.
The plan submitted is for a bridge which,
while constructed of steel. is In accord
INTELLECTUALLY with the present structure.
The proposed bridge will be of the Pratt
truss pattern, twenty-one and one-half feet
above low mean water. which is more than
ten feet higher than the, Long Bridge.
The draw of the proposed bridge is of
the pivot or swing type. which will leave
a channel of 100 feet clear on each side of
the centre pier that supports the swing
bridge. Including this centre pier the
bridge across the Georgetown channel win
have thirteen piers. though the channel
itself Will be in the two 100 feet openings
of the draw.
Beginning on the District end of the
bridge there will be two spans 10 feet 3
inches long from centre to centre of the
piers, two PIG feet inches, two 40 feet 3
draw of 100 leej in the clear: four spans
PIG feet inches, two spans 203 feet 6
inches. and one span of 10 feet inches
which reaches to the Virginia side.
The pier supporting the draw and the
piers on each side of it are proposed to be
built on pneumatic caissons, the other
piers to be on piles and griliage.
The behring's made below the site of the
draw show rock at a depth of over 100 feet
hQin M
ings along TIE route of the bridge were

two othel hI.fngs were made, one to
depth of III feet and the other TO depth
of % feet 3 inches. Between the draw and
the flats there was one boring IS feet 3

cause of the strange deterioration in the

last year propagated and distributed some
$50. 100000 young whitefish. the strange
change in the flavor is causing no little
worry 1t is believed by the experts here
that delay in serving the fish is largely
to blame and bulletin will be issued adj

age or shipped any distance, but be serv-
