Industrial Proposition.

Mr.. NJ. V. Richards, Land and In
dustrial Agent of the Southern Railway,
has sent the following letter, dated Octo.
Der 10. to the Business Mems League Il
this city;
ave have correspondent who Is
looking for location for the manuiac-
ture of fy-nets, collars, harness, leather,
hardwares, ETC., and we quote his letter
as follows: We would establish fac
tory in the above line, providing we
could find suitable location where the
business would be liable to prosper. We
would require three-story brick, metal
roof building with basement, about
4Ox200 feet with a 90x40 feet ell. One
two-story wood or brick outbuilding
25x120 feet and one about 25x6O feet,
to be used for storage and stables. The
equipment would consist of two 6O-horse
power boilers, connections and settings;
two 50-horse power Putnam or other
engines, one 500-lamp Is candle power
DYNAMO. two belt driven or electric
elevators, steam heating, electric light,
water pipes and fixtures and a suitable
track connection with Richmond. We
should judge that the cost to erect the
buildings with the equipment would not
exceed $50, 900. AS an inducement we
would want the free use of the property
for term of not less than ten years,
vita an option to purchase at a stated
price at the end of the term. The cost,
all freight on machinery, stock, etc.,
and the expense of placing the same in
position and operation. We would agree
to invest not less than $125, 600 net, and
to operate at full capacity when the
products were in demand and could be
marketed at a profit. To start, would
employ from 100 to $50 hands, men,
women, boys and girls, about equal pro-
portions of each. The pay of employees,
except foremen, would be from $3.50 to
S1S per week. We would use about 500
tons of hand threshed, straight rye straw
year. Could this be supplied by your
local market? We would entertain any
other proposition that, in the end, would
amount to the same. If this is likely
to be of interest to your town, will you
kindly write me letter that we can for
ward to our correspondent"

The Long Bridge.

All day yesterday the search OF the
river bottom in the vicinity of the Long
bridge was continued, but no trace was
fonnd of the body Of Richard Eckhart,
the AGED bridge tender, who is the only
man known to be missing as a result OF
the bridge accident last Sunday night.
Several Of the heavy girders were found
TO be so tightly wedged that even the pow
erful .gines on the pile drivers were NJ
able to bulge them, and it is thought
that the body of the missing man may
be wedged in theintricate mass. Teams
in almost steady streams poured across
the just opened wagon path nearly all OF
Yesterday, ard the services OF a corps OF
policemen we're required to prevent con-
fusion. The War Department has an
nounced that it will not interpose any
objection to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company placing the falsework in the
Potomac river to enable it to complete
the repairs upon the Long bridge. The
company has arranged to station tugs at
the nayigable channel Oh the north and
south sides of the bridge to facilitate the
passage of barges and small craft through
the bridge until the new draw has
been placed in position. Large boats
with cargoes for Georgetown which can
not pass through the bridge in its pres
ent condition will be awarded wharf ia
cilities for unloading their freight.
As a result of the accident to the old
Long bridge orders have been issued to
the engineers and contractors to rush
work on the new structure over which the
trains are to enter Washington. An IN
creased force has been put to work and
the draw has begun to assume shape.
Nearly all of the great steel girders are
in place. and much of the other iron and
steel work is to go up in the next few
DAYS. The Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany. which has the contract to furnish
the material, is delivering carloads daily.
The approaches to the bridge are now
being constructed, and it is said by the
engineer who is supervising the construc-
ton of the bridge that trains would be
travelling over the structure in the early
spring.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company,
which is to construct the highway bridge
something over thousand feet above
the new railroad bridge, has begun the
work of grading for approaches and the
driving Of test piles for the foundations
Those in charge of the work say th'
bridge will be ready for traffic in one
wear. The contract calls for thu
completion of the structure February
