and was burned with its contents.

so really nothing of value was burned
except the building.

and will stand when finished, one of the
most remarkable engineering feats on
record. In fact, there are very few sam

and none, other than this in Richmond.
in the South.
The viaduct. which begins at point
known as Sledd Street, about seven hun
dred feet southwest OF the Seaboard Air
Line crossing at Bacon Street, is built
of what Is known as reinforced concrete
construction, which consists OF stone
crushed from about one-fourth inch to
one inch in diameter. properly mixed
with sand and cement and reinforced
with steel bars.
The viaduct when completed will he $50
feet long. and will run from Sledd Street
across Bacon and Oak Streets thence
across the Seaboard Air Line Railway
over to Moore Street, and thence crossing
respectively Williams, Leigh, Catherine,
Clay and MARSHALL Streets. and termf-
mating about the middle of the block be-
tween Marshall and Broad.
The height of the bridge at the Sea-
board Air Line crossing and over the
Bacon Quarter Branch will be about six
ty-seven feet The greatest clear span
will be sixty-seven feet four inches.
which will be spanned by reinforced con-
crete material in keeping with the other
part of the bridge, These will be, OF
course. very large girders, about one foot
eight inches thick and six feet high.
These Orders will span Clay and Mar
shall Streets from property line to prop
erty line.
AS before stated this kind of work is
new In this country, but 1t Is
old enough IN Spain. from which, country
the idea came. 1t Is said that Mr. Frank
Jay Gould, who is the tinancier of the
Richmond and Chesapeake Bay enter
prise. and who is a traveller who always
Keeps his eyes wide open, saw this man
ner of work In Spain, and having become

Ninety-lve per cent OF the work con-

CHICAGO. April 10. - Spring
training gives opportunity for siz-
ing up the pennant chasers. The
American league teams look about
this way:
New York-Uncertainty. Before
ChesbrO gave up playing there was
doubt as to the pitchers, and now
it is out of the question to get a
line on the mines strength. Hickey
has helped matters behind the bat.
lntield fair, but less brilliant with
out Chase, and outfeld should be
speedy as alst year
Chicago--lf the pitchers are in
as good form as they were last sea-
son, Chicago should hold its same
measure of strength. Outfield is
better than 1906 Cannot afford to
lose in batting strength. General
team work is as good as any other
nine in league Should pitchers
weaken not much chance for pen
nant
Cleveland-Likely to be same
in and out team. Very strong in in
field, fair in outfield, not over strong
in the box and not so resourceful as
some other clubs. Their slap and
dash have been known to miss an
opening. Seems to have been a
general tendency to overrate the
batteries.
Observation-Disclosures third base
man badly. If Macks finds one he
may be in the race. Many games
were dropped last season by weak
ness on the left side of infield
Pitchers excellent when going right
Only average strength behind bat.
and outfield not wonderful Great
factor for the mines success is the
ability Of Mack to get fine team
work.
Boston--A club of ifs" Many
old players, excellent in their time,
who may play very strong game if
in proper condition physically. Fell
off last year because of laZiness and
lack of good catcher. Criger's pres
ence may help much. Whole outfit
seems to be an experiment with
age.
Detroit-Doesn't look like a
championship nine. but it may have
a lot of fun with others. Not the
team that ii was 2 years ago in
the box, and yet strong enough to
pitchers to make good fight. Infield
not terror by any means and out
field only good when it is batting
hard. Young catchers show better
than ordinary ability.
Washington-Can't consider it in
the race. Outfield and infleld both
erratic. Pitchers likely to cut loose
with occasional good games. Slow
on tho bases and needs smuggling
bee to help the heavy footed ones.
st. Louis--Better team than last
year and shaping into a winning
system as rapidly as any club in
league. With little more strength
in box would be one of the hardest
mines to beat, Fast running with
fairly accurate fielding. Inside play
improving % per cent in last sea-
son. Could use more batting to ad-
vantage. Will make all others work
to win the flag.
