NEW BRIDGE AT BRIDGEPORT.
Contracts Let by New York, New Ha-
 ven and Hartford

ven and Hartford.
 President John NJ. Hall of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road Go, has awarded the contract for the important new roller lift bridge, which is to be q part of the $3,O00,000 improvements of the New Haven rail- road property in Bridgeport.
 The contract for the bridge was given by President Hall to the Penn sylvania Steel Co of Shelton, Pa, which is the company that built the big six track roller lift bridge over the Fort Point channel, Boston. Bridgeport's s bridge will be the second roller lift bridge built for an eastern railroad. It will be designed to carry a load of about 10000 pounds per lineal foot, in addition to a concentrated load of 100,- 900 pounds at any point on the floor of the structure.
 The new bridge will be four tracked with a span of seventy feet clear. It will be a deck structure and composed of parallel double tracked spans, op- erated jointly or singly, the motive power being electricity. The time of operation will be less than thirty sec ends. An advantage in the design adopted is that future expansion of the railroad can be met by adding dou ble track spans to the present struc- ture. instead of building q new bridge
 With the new bridge in operation Bridgeport will be supplied with one of the most effective railroad bridges in the country.

 Seattle. Wash. Dec 2S.-Benjamin Greenburg, resident of this city, who was arrested three years ago and thrown into an Austrian prison, where he was held for two months, has re- turned to this city.
 According to Greenburg's story ne was thrown into a damp dungeon by the police authorities at Tarnopol Austria, and told that he would be re leased if he paid $1.0O0. He refused and was kept there three months. His plight was discovered by the American consul at Vienna and he was released on bail after a charge had been pre- ferred against him that he was a Greek named Peter Carpovich, who had been expelled from the country several years previously for procuring women for immoral purposes. His case was finally transferred to the highest courts, where evidence was introduced to prove his identity.
 '',rhe money I put up as bail to se- cure my release while the trial was pending said Greenburg, "has never been returned to me, and I intend to lay the facts before the authorities at Washington"

BURIED, BUT IS ALIyB
Holburn, Mourned for Dead, Sailed
 Around the World

Holburn, Mourned for Dead, Sailed
 Around the World.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Henry Hol- burn of 143 Ainslie avenue. Brooklyn, received letter yesterday from his son Frank, whom he thought he had buried last March in the family plot at Cyprus Hills cemetery.
 The letter was dated San Francisco and stated that the writer was well and prosperous. He asked his father to look up his wife and tell her that he in- tended to send for her and their two children very soon.
 This communication threw the Hol- burn household into great state of mind. They were perfectly sure that Frank was dead, and they had been re ligiously visiting his grave and putting fresh flowers on it every week.
 The reason they thought he was no more was that a year ago last Septem- Der he went away, telling his wife and other relatives that he was going to look for work. He had lost his place in a jewelry store in this city and was disgusted because he could not get an- other.
 After he left months went by and no word came from him. None knew whither he had gone Last March one of the family read in the newspapers of the finding of the body of a man frozen iD the Hackensack meadows. The description tallied with that of Frank Holburn, and some of them went to see the body.
 It was in bad shape; but, from some scars, they decided that it was he, and the father brought it over to Brooklyn and had it inferred The widow tried to collect insurance from the Legion of Honor, but failed for lack of proof of death. There was no doubt, however, in the minds of any of the family that Frank was gone for good
 Now comes the letter. There is very little of explanation in it. The writer says that he has been around the world. The presumption is that he shipped on a sailing vessel and has just reached Frisco. He does not say why he kept silent so long. His 'swid- ow" will go out of mourning, and she has already written him to either come back on the first train or let her know where she can find him, so that she may start with her children to see him.
