New Newark Bridge.

Nearly every one crossing the New
Jersey Central's Bridge over Newark
Bay is interested in the work incident
to the pier building, and though it is
q gigantic undertaking, the work is
progressing rapidly and traffic has not
been delayed. Seventy foot piles have
been driven to form foundation foI
the new piers, and these have been
cut of by machinery at depth of Sc
feet below water. AS these pile swere
driven and cut off under each track
separately, it was necessary to carry
the traffic on single track, which
has been done with almost no delay to
trains, which at this point are very
numerous.
The large caissons in which the
piers are built were erected last fall
on the north bank of the Bay. These
consist of grillage, or floor, four
feet Ia thickness, and sides built with
strong posts and planks, and the whole
is made water tight, the Joints being
caulked in same manner wooden YES
sells are built. Three Of these caissons
have already been towed to the site
Of the new draw and partially filed
with concrete, of which the new piers
are TO be built When the weight of
concrete sinks the caissons at low
water to the level of the foundations,
they are towed into their final posi-

ately located, By boring q few holes

1t is to be regretted that the Passaic
man, who was held up and robbed in
Fayette street Saturday night, cannot
be gotten here to make complaint
against his assailants, if that is all
that prevents their arrest. The police
state that they have very strong
suspicious as who the highwaymen
were but the complainant has left
town. AS long as the police have
ferreted out the case thus far it is in
justice to them as well as to the pub
lie that the matter be carried out to
the end and the thieves sent to prison
for a good term. 1t Is not often that
such bold robberies occur here and
the culprits should be severely dealt
with.
