STILL BELIEVES STORY.
Mrs. ColePs Credulity Equals Has
bands Swimming Endurance.

Mrs Edward Hugo Colell, of Rockaway Park
still remained convinced last evening her hus
band did actually take that long dip he said he
did when he woke up on the Clyde liner Huron IN
Charleston. S. c. Mrs. Coell said she had no
actual direct confrmatios from her husband
Neither had she had word from her son Carl who
went to Charleston to that his father did not
attempt another such adventure of the Carolina
coast.
This failure to hear from either husband or son
hadn't surprised her, she said because she knew
Geographic communication might possibly be IN
terrupted just at present Her son, however she
said. had communicated with ono of his friends
Mrs. Coell did not have the telegram. but this ia
how 1t went, she said:
informed at the Charleston Hotel that INV Sa,ber
was quietly resting at the Seashore Hotel on the
Isle of Palms. The danger my father was in and
the experience he had was so terrible that T am
only too glad to find him far improved thar T
thought IL best not to remind him of Ali the nor
rible details. All the Charleston papers have il
that he was aboard fishing smack snd from
that transferred to the steamship bound for South
Carolina The thought he gives most EXPRESSION
to is tho hope that he may reach the side of
his wife.
After that, of course. Mrs. Colell said she had
implicit faith in the story told by her husband
and scorned the mere suggestion that he boarded
the Clyde liner at its pier In this CITY, as Its Off
Gals said he did.

FINE BRIDGE TO COST $4,000.
Plan of the Structure Over Gwynns
Falls at Baltimore

BALTIMORE, September 2O-City E-ngi-
neer Fendall is getting ready his plans for
the proposed new bridge over Gwynns
Falls, on Edmondson avenue. Yesterday
he received photographs of a picture of the
bridge, and he says If the plans are car
ried out II will be of the finest struct-
ures of it's kind in this part of the conn
try. Engineer Fendall estimates that the
bridge will cost about $1S0,O0O of which
sum $G5,OOO has already been appropriated
for the preliminary plans and drawings and
for incidentals for the start of the work
In preparing the plans Mr.. Fendall's de-
partment has had the advice of NJ. w
j. Douglass, engineer of bridges for the
District of Columbia. who constructed the
Connecticut avenue bridge in Washington
and the Piney Run bridge in the District
of Columbia.
The bridge will be constructed by con-
tract and not by day labor as was
originally intended. 1t is to be of CON
crete, for the most part solid and re-
1nforced at certain points. The structure
will consist of one main central arch
spanning the right of way of the Western
Maryland railroad and clearing that roads
double track junction, the arch being 1879
feet clear span. The side arches three In
number, two on the east side and one on
the west side of the main arch will be
sixty feet span. The main arch will an
proxmate a semi-ellipse in section; the
side arches will have a semicTrcuar sec
ton.
