The New Railroad Bridge.

As has been previously announced,
full serrice was inaugurated yesterday
over the new railroad bridge across the
Potomac. The first north-bound train
to pass over the structure was Chesa-
peake and Ohio express, which arrived
at $40 a. m. The approach had Just
been completed when the train reached
the bridge. The contractors had large
force of men at work all night finishing
up the approach. The Inbound
track has been open for several days.
The new structure has all the advantages
which the science of bodybuilding has
developed in recent years. The type Is
known as the Pratt truss bridge, taking
its name from the engineer of bridges OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Each span
is truss, and is entirely independent OF
the other spans, of which there are
eleven, besides the draw. Each span
abuts the other, resting on the stone
piers, but not being connected except
by the rails and the railing. The
brid re has total length of 2,528 feet
and six inches. There are twelve
granite piers.
