OVER HIGHWAY BRIDGE
AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC NOTED
SINCE DECEMBER IS.

Some interesting facts in connection with
the new Highway bridge are contained in a
report made by Capt. Cosby, the engineer
officer in charge, to Gen. Mackenzie, chief
of engineers. The old Long bridge was
closed December 10, since which date all
traffic between that portion of Virginia and
this city has been over the Highway bridge.
A careful census Of that traffic shows a
daily average of Ill electric trains, SD
double teams 301 single teams, eques-
TRANS and 523 pedestrians. These figures
apply to the daily traffic in good weather.
There is practically no business traffic on
Sundays and holidays. The greater part
of the travel outside of the electric trains
consists of the two-horse teams going to
and from the brick yards In Virginia.
The average daily number of draw open
ings to permit the passage of ships, etc,
during the month of December was 1872,
and the average cost of each opening for
electric current was 9.46 cents.
Referring to the general condition of the
Highway bridge Capt Cosby says that the
approach Oh the " ashington side is APP
proximately 5000 feet long. About 1850
feet of this approach is on a new embank-
ment, which has been temporarily paved
with macaiam. The remainder has been
paved with granite blocks, except at the
Washington channel, which the approach
crosses plate girder bridge with a
plank floor. All of the roadway of the
Washington approach is to be permanently
paved with concrete, except the new con-
crete bridge across the Washington chan
mel, which will be paved with asphalt.
The overhead trolley system installed by
the Washington, Alexandria and MouEt
Vernon Railway Company from the tetmi
nation of its underground electric system
at 18th street and Maryland avenue to the
north end of the bridge is to be replaced
by a standard underground electric syS-
tenn after the new embankment built for
the approach becomes sufficiently settled.
The Virginia approach is approximately
2,3ce feet long, and the greater part is on
lane acquired by purchase. Practically the
entire length of the approach is on a new
embankment built under contract, and is
permanently paved with concrete. The
work remaining to be done in order to COM
plete the project consists of completing
the approaches, including the concrete steel
arch bridge over the Washington channel,
some permanent paving on the Washington
approach, planting on the embankment
slopes, erecting hand ratings at each end
of the bridge, completing the drainage
system, etc.
Capt. Cosby says the Virginia approach
has been planted with honeysuckle and that
the trimming up and planting of the Wash
ington embankment will practically COM
plete all the work contemplated of that
character

FAT AND PLUMP.
Shipment of Potomac Herring Receiv-
ed at Fish Wharf.

Potomac herring, as fat and plump as
those taken from the river in the spring
fishing season, were among the Potomac
fish on sale at the wholesale fish market
on the wharf yesterday morning. They
were bought up quickly by the first up
town dealer who saw them. There were
only twenty-four of the fish, and they were
brought to this city in a shipment of bass
and rock sent on the steamer Harry Ran
dali from Lower Machodoc creek, and they
sold at prices averaging about five cents
each. 1t has been number of years since
Potomac herring were on sale at the fish
wharf this early In the season. Usually it
is the latter part of February before her
ring are caught in the river and the pres
ence of the fish in the river at this season
rather upsets the theory of the fishermen
that the fish start in far southern waters
early in the season and gradually move up
the coast until they come into the Potomac
some time in the early part of April. The
presence of the fish in the river at this
time would indicate that they stay there
all the year around. About ten days ago
five herring caught in the lower part of the
river were sent to q dealer at the wharf.
While the dealers have been receiving
shad and herring from Florida for the past
two weeks. the shipments have By no
means been heavy, and the fish have sold
at high prices A few years ago a herring
in the market before the latter part of
March was practically unheard of, but
now they can be had any time between
January and June, when the fish are by law
allowed to be sold.

LECTURE ON SAVONARoLA.
Prof. Griggs on the Great Moral
Leaders

Leaders.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather large and fashionable audience
thronged the Church of the Covenant last
evening to hear Edward Howard Griggs of
New York on "Savonarola," the second in
the course of five weekly lectures on the
great moral leaders given for the benefit of
the Playground Association. There was not
even standing room.
With a rapid summary Of the influences
set in motion by the teaching of Socrates
Mr.. Griggs passed to a consideration Of the
characteristic features of the renaissance
In Italy in the fifteenth century. The con-
fiict between the joy in the present life, the
note of the pagan revival and the other
worldness of st. Francis of Assist, the DOM
inant spirit of mediaevalism, found special
followers, he said. In that day who en-
phaSiZed these extremes Only the great
est could bring them into equipoise
With vivid presentation Of the art OF
Cimabue of Giotto, the spirituality of ST.
Francis of Fra Angelica and Dante, the
magnificence of Lorenzo de Medici, Mr..
Griggs indicated the dangers incident upon
a revival of the joys of the Senses of art
and respect for earthly life, and showed
how Savonarola, imbued with passionate
asceticism preached defiant rebuke to Lo-
renZo and his court. He explained how I'M
der the spell of the great DOminican'S moral
influence gay Florence was brought, sad
and repentant, to his feet.
With keen selection of the main points of
the martyrs story the lecturer made clear
the political flaw in his practice, which in
augurated the revolt against him and
brought Savonarola to the flames.
After the lecture Mr.. Griggs was present
ed to the audience, several hundred OF
whom congratulated him personally. The
course including Socrates, Savonarola, Car
lyle Emerson and Tolstoy, the first Prof.
Griggs has given publicly in Washington,
although he has been here before privately,
has commenced with unusual enthusiasm.
