NEW R. R. BRIDGE
First Train Crossed Susquehanna
On New Structure Tuesday.
OLD BRIDGE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC..

The new double track steel rail-
road bridge across the Susquehanna
river between Perryville and Havre
de Grace, after two years contin.
uous work, was put in service by
the P, B. & W. railroad on Tues
day morning. South bound train
No. II, known as the Federal Ex-
press, was the first to cross the
bridge at 7.55 o'clock. The cross
ing of the first regular train was
witnessed by big crowds on both
sides of the river. The old bridge
was closed to southbound travel.
When the new bridge was opened
all northbound trains went over
the old bridge until 1.59 o'clock,
when train No. 6 crossed on the
northbound tracks of the new
bridge after which the old one
was closed. Rails will be taken
up at each end of the old bridge
the draw opened and it's service
for railroad traffic will end.
The Baltimore Sun gives the
following interesting sketch of the
old bridge:
This structure, which has been
in use for 40 years, was when it
was built, one of the most notable
structures in the world. 1t will
remain idle until the company
shall decide just what disposition
shall be made of it. The sounding
for the old structure commenced in
1854, and on November %, 1866,
the first train crossed the Susque-
hanna on the bridge, which was
then wooden structure. In the
second year of its history it was
blown down by heavy winds. The
wooden structure was repaired and
was gradually replaced by the
present iron structure, several
years being required to complete
the task. The engineers who had
this work in charge were George
A. Parker, E. Larkin and S. f.
Fuller. On January 15, 1862, four
years before the first bridge was
completed, tracks were laid on the
ice and the cars pulled across by
horses, the passengers crossing on
foot.
The new bridge which replaces it
is one of the most substantial and
finest railroad bridges in the coun-
try. 1t comprises II spans, exclu-
sive of the draw span, and is 4,153
feet long from abutment to abut-
ment. Eight of the spans are 26O
feet each, seven spans 200 feet9
inches each, two spans. 1877 feet
each and a draw span 260 feet. The
draw span, which is the heaviest
and only overhead span on the
bridge, has a clearance of "a feet 4
inches at mean low water, thus al
lowing the major portion of the
river craft to pass under without
with the railroad traffic.
1t has clear passageway of 100
feet on either side of the pivot pier.
Work on the new bridge COM
menced in August, 1904, and on
August 10, 1905, the first piece of
steel was erected. This work was
held up for several months by
strike, which has made the opening
Of the bridge considerably later
han was contemplated by the
officials of the road and the
contractors.

portant epoch of his life, i. e. his
twenty-fifth wedding anniversary
took it upon themselves to remind
him of the fact in a most delightful
way.
They completely surprised the good
couple by taking possession of theil
house, located on the corner of Third
and Pine streets In this city. A
sumptuous five O'Clock dinner was
served. The evening until ten O'Clock
was spent in such social intercourse
as can be possible only with the
members of united family.
The relatives were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Firdian Borgmann, Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Herberger, Mr.. and Mrs.
Freddie Borgmann, John Minnette.
Nick Minnette, Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Schwartz, Mr.. and Mrs. Theirs

Happily Welded.

On last Wednesday evening at the
home OF the BRIDES sister, Mrs.
Brekken, Miss Emma Clemets and
Ole E. Olson were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock, by Rev. M. A.
Kvammen who the impressive service
of the United Lutheran church read.
The bridal couple attended by the
BRIDES sister, Miss Matte Clements
and Mr.. Marcus Lukkason entered
the parlor to the strains of beautiful
march played by the BRIDES niece,
Tillie Brekken, and proceeded to a
large window banked with ferns and
pink and white carnations, where the
ceremony was performed.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ole Clements, retired farmers
residing in Starbuck. Mrs. Olson
has all the qualities that make good
wife and helpmate.
The groom has been for nine
years in the employ of Mr.. S. G.
Bjone of this city. His parents live
at North Fork, where they have been
for thirty years.
The bride was daintily dressed in a
white chiffon Panama wearing a veil
held in place with orange blossoms.
The bridesmaids gown was of white
soiesette.
After congratulations had been ex-
tended, Mrs. Brekken treated the
large company of nearly sixty guests
to bountiful wedding supper.
Music and games made the time
pass pleasantly, every one having en-
enjoyable evening. About one o'clock
a light lunch was served and the
company dispersed.
Pressing business in Mr.. Bjone's
store and the scarcity of help caused
a postponement of a contemplated
wedding journey.
Mr.. and Mrs. Olson were the
recipients of many valuable presents.
The newly married couple will
reside with Mrs. Brekken until spring
when they will establish themselves
in home of their own. Their many
friends here wish them success and
happiness.

A Common BIunder.

The Postmaster of New York City
calls attention to the fact that the
Postofice is receiving daily about
one thousand souvenir postal cards,
either without stamps or with in
sufficient postage. This appears to
be due to misunderstanding on the
part of the public as to the postage re-
quired for such cards. Many evidently
believe that when they have purchased
card it is entitled to transmission
like the official postal card, and there
fore affix no stamp. It is necessary
to affix stamps to all post cards
whether for delivery in this country
or aboard. Those for delivery in this
country which bear written messages
on the face, require two cents in
postage, or the letter rate, whereas,
cards for domestic destinations with
out messages upon the face, require q
one-cent postage stamp. Leather ones
need two cents.

We expected to bury the

that way. John A. Johnson is the
eighth wonder of the world.
His campaign was the most
wonderful ever waged and his vic
tory is unparalleled in the history
of politics. The great dailies of
the state except the Duluth Herald
and St. Paul Daily News were
against him. Ninety-fve per cent
of the country press were lined up
for Cole. The United States SEN
ators and every member and ex-
member of Congress were oppos-
ing him. He had had a strong
clean, capable man opposed to him.
He was up against normal major
ity of forty thousand. Johnson
simply made monkeys Of the whole
bunch and won out by a majority
that will take the Canvassing Board
till Christmas to count. 1t was a
marvellous performance unmatched
in the political history of the nation
and in all human probability will
never be repeated. The Dem ocrats
gain in both branches of the legis.

proceedings interesting-not dan
gerous.
