How many brave men have taken their

It is not generally known that Jackson
City. when originally laid out in President
Jackson's administration. was designed to
be Washington's chief suburb, if not. in

the National Capital that Brooklyn does

with all due ceremony, dedicated what

the future city. and a member of the Old

soiourn in Washington had been in The

1885; it cost $113.126. Its engineer, at the
conclusion OF his work stated with re-

bridge very uncertain as to it's existence;
under favorable circumstances it might
last thirty years, and then again. it
might be destroyed within year" The

rect for it was practically destroyed by

1t would be tedious to recount the in
stances of the repairing and rebuilding Of
Long Bridge. 1t is interesting to note
that citizens of Washington and George
town strongly protested against the use
of the bridge by the railroad company.
Indignation meetings were held presided
over by the mayor. but the alI-powerful
railroad lobby at length prevailed. until
now the bridge is entirely owned by the
railroad company.
There can be little doubt that Jackson
