THE RIVER BRIDGES.
Engineer Basford Says They
Will Cost Less Than
$4,000

700, WV
Repiying to an Inquiry Of the
CouRIER's, Mr.. Rsphesl X. Basford,
OF Nelson Il Buchanan Company,
designing engineers aud contractors,
of Chambersburg, Pa, writes as fol
lows:
Chambersburg, Pa, Oct. 3, 1902.
Hon. Blackburn Smith,
Berryville, Va.
The Bridge at Berry's Ferry will
consist of two steel spans, each span
being 200 feet long. There will be
steel approach span OH each end of
the main spans, 20 feet each, thus
making what are termed the channel
spans $40 feet. On the Boyce end
of the bridge there will be 24O feet
of wooden approach and GO feet of
I'LL. On the opposite end of the
bridge there will be 200 feet of
approach and 100 feet of fiji. This
makes the total length ll4O feet.
The bridge will cross the river in
straight line with the road passing
the Hon. Bryce W.Catlett's property.
about 200 yards or so above the Ferry.
The approach on the Boyce end
will be DETECTED 50 that thu end of
the bridge will strike the present
road at the cross bars in the fence
some distance above the Ferry
House.
The Castleman's Ferry Bridge will
have the channel spans the same as
in the Berry's Ferry Bridge, while on
the Berryville end OF the bridge there
will be 300 feet of wooden approach
and go feet Of fill. On the opposite
end of the bridge there will be 300
feet of wooden approach aud l4O feet
of fill. This makes total length of
1900 feet. Both bridges will have
6 foot roadway, which is sufficient
to allow two ordinary teams to puss
at any point. The floor of the chan
mel spans will be 40 feet above low
water mark, the approach being
placed on q grade, so that they will
meet the present road at the distance
above mentioned. The capacity of
the channel spans is such that any
loads which are contemplated ia che
future may cross them safely. Some
slight alterations would be necessary
10 the wooden trestle if All electric
trolley road was to cross the bridge
The lengths of the bridges, as given
above, are such that it willcsrry the
roadway slightly beyond the nigh
water mark of 1871, which believe
is the highest water known. The
height of the roadway above the low
water mark, namely 40 feet, is the
same as that in the bridges over the
Shenandoah at Riverton and Front
Royal.
You may feel assured that the
amount the Act allows you TO raise.
for the construction of the bridges,is
sufficient. You, of course, realize
that atthis time would not name the
actual figure for which | would con
struct the bridges, as that would put
me to q disadvantage with compet
tors. But you may assure the voters
of Clarke county, that both of these
bridges will be built for less than
$4,000.
Trusting that this will give to the
people of Clarke county clear
understanding of what is proposed,
| remain, Very truly yours,
RAPHAEL Y. BAsFORD.
Civil Engineer.

DEWEY BADLY TIED UP
Seeking to Prove Aguinaldo a %scoundrel, BE
Puts His Foot In II
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Washington, June 2S.-In the third
fore the Senate Committee on the Philip
pines, Senator Carmack asked the Wit
ness if all the trouble in the Philippines
had been due to Aguinaldo.
Il won't say that the Admiral replied,
"but l will repeat that If we had had
1000 troops at Manila, on May LIST. the
city could nave been taken possession
of and we would have had. at least for
the time. no trouble with the natives.
They were our friends then"
Why do you say that Aguinaldo took
the lions share of the property gather
ed by the i~nsurgcnts?"
Because he was living at Malolos
like a prince. He had nothing when he
landed at Manila and he could have
procured the means for this ostcntation
in no other way. It may be ungrateful
in me to state the fact. but it is true
that he sent cattle to me-hcrds of them
for the ships. The stock were taken
from the Philippine people"
The Admiral said the Philippine army
was then only a mob and without or
ganization, and had to be fed and
clothed. HE did as many others have
dono-hc made the country support him"
Senator Patterson: "Do you refer to
Aguinaldo taking property for the sup
port of the army as loot and pillagc."
ADMIRAL Dewey: That is one part
of It"
Senator Carmack: Then you took a
man to Manila to be a leader Of the
native people who had but recently be-
trayed those people for a bribc?"
Admiral Dewey: 4 think that would
have made no difference; the country
was under a reign of terror"
Then you wanted a man who could
organize the natives?"
"No, I did not want any one. Aguinal-
do and his people were forced upon me
by Consul Pratt and others"
Then you placed the country at the
mercy of a man who would plumber and
rob, Notwithstanding you had no need
OF his serviccs?"
This question the Admiral declined to
answer and Senator Patterson took the
witness, asking if A~guinaldo had over
talked to him on the basis Of selling out
to the Americans. The ADMIRAL replied
in the negative.
In answer to pressing questions the
Admiral said he and General Anderson
that he was there to tell what he know
and was not responsible for what others
said.
Il don't like your questions" he said
to Senator Patterson, "and | don't think
l ought to be required to answer them"
The Admiral was excused.

(By the Associated Prcss.)

Birmingham, Ala. June 2S.-The joint
conference between the coal miners and
operators which has been in session here
for the purpose of making a scale of
wages mas adjourned without reaching
an agreement. Owing to the failure of
the conference to effect d settlement it
is probable that there will be a suspen-
sion of work beginning Tuesday, July
2, by the miners who belong to the Uni
ted Mine-Workers.
The miners demanded IN effect an in
crease Of five cents 81 ton in mining, an
eight hour day and a pay day every two
weeks. The operators refused these con-
c%cssions. About 5000 men Will be af-
