.PENNSY PLANS FOR
BIG STEEL BRIDGE
Work to be Hurried on the
Great Structure at Havre
dc Grace

Plans have been prepared by Chief
Engineer Brown. of the Pennsylvania
railroad. for the proposed new double
track steel-glrder bridge over the Sus-
quehanna river az Havre de Grace, to
replace the present single-track struc-
ture. AS soon as the necessary legis-
lation has been passed by the Maryland
Legislature, enabling the company to
condemn the right Of way. the plans
viii be submitted 10 the Secretary Of
War; and when approved by him bids
for the erection OF the masonry piers
and the steel superstructure viii be
asked.
The work is to be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible, but it is expected
that a year will be required to com
plete the masonry piers. The bridge.
together with the proposed change Of
the line as far as Principle. win cost
several million dollars When the new
bridge is completed the present struc-
ture viii be removed With the new
bridge in service the company will be
enabled to better maintain its passen-
ger train schedule between Philadel-
phia and Washington. If not reduce the
running time. as the present single
track structure is entirely too light to
permit Of fast running over it with
the present large locomotives.

HOUSE At
REH0BETH BURNED
Well-known Hostelry Resort
for Political Gatherings
Destroyed by Fire

The Douglas House at eRehoboth. Of
which William NJ. Jefferson, of the
Hotel Wilmington and w. o. Lohand OF
Lewes are proprietors. was entirely de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. All
that was saved was a portion of the
furniture.
Mr.. Jefferson received word from
his partner late last night telling him
of the fire. He received another tele-
gram this morning. When seen this
morning Mr.. Jefferson said the building
which was destroyed was valued at
S25,00O and the insurance $4,000, all
|of which was placed through Gilpin &
Company of this city.
The Douglas House. one Of Reho-
both's leading hotels, was situated
about one mile down the beach. 1t
was a frame structure and the main
building was 110x40 feet. The annex,
which also was consumed, was 34x50
feet The hotel had about 81 rooms for
guests. The kitchen and store rooms
were built apart from the main build
ing and annex and escaped. The hotel
has not been open for guests during the
winter. but was occupied by family.
The hotel was one of the most popu-
lar at Rehoboth. 1t was the headquar-
ters for politicians who held meetings
at Rehoboth and many sportsmen also
stopped there.
The report of the fire was received
by many Wilmingtonians who frequent
Rehoboth during the summer season,
with regret. Near the hotel were the
cottages of the late Chief Justice Com
eggs Manlove Hayes and former Sem
ator Kenney Of Dover
