The New Highway Bridge

Capt. Spencer Cosby says it is imPos-
sibIe TO say exactly when the new high
way bridge across the Potomac will be
ready for general traffic, owing to the
condition of the approaches. The bridge
itself is practically completed, but its
opening for the public is delayed 10
consequence of the uncertainties regard
ing the suficiency of the roadway under
construction on the Washington ap-
proach for the heavy traffic to which 1t
will be subjected, especially in the trans
portation of brick from kilns in Alex
andria county.
The work of dumping material taken

way to the new Highway bridge, has

terisl is in position the work on tie new
track is by no means completed, and IT.
will be two or three weeks before it will
he put into service.

Terrible Deeds of a Father.

New York, Dec. 29.-Henry 4.
Holloway, retired engineer, who waS
employed for years on the New YORK,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad made
an unsuccessful attempt to kill his wife
and their daughter, Matte Holloway, at
his home, Gil east 140th street, this
morning. Failing in this attempt
Holloway, who is 20 years old, turned
his revolver on himself and fired two
shots into his head. He was taken to
Lebanon Hospital, where, it is believed,
he will recover. Holloway, according
to neighbors and friends of the family,
had been subject 10 fits OF melancholy
for some time, and has been kept under
close watch because he had made threats
of killing himself and it was feared he
might become violent. No explanation
is offered for the sudden murderous out
break except that the old man became
suddenly deranged from brooding.

Germany and the South.

Some months ago the Berlin Tage-
blatt republished az article from anAmer-
lean paper warning Germans not to
settle in the southern States. The Tage-
blatt has ever since been receiving pro-
tests from various parts of the south, and
in an editorial in Wednesdays issue
says it appears that an attempt was made
in certain quarters to discredit the
southern States, but it fell on unfruit-
full ground. rhe paper adds: "We
can say with satisfaction that Germans
are in no danger in the south, but have
found in that country conditions guar
