were Tuesday returned to this city,
having been apprehended in Portage
while on their way west, presumably
to fight Indians. 1t appears from a
close investigation that the money
drawers of employers were tapped to
the extent of eight or more dollars
and that the youngsters believed this
small fortune would enatle them to
escape TO the wilds of the west. The
parents became alarmed at their alb

A bread and money getter,

& Chesapeake Bay railroad, seeking
entrance to Richmond, Va, found the
track elevation problem facing 1t un-
der circumstances which called for
extraordinary measures.
1t happened that the right of way
OF the railroad entering Richmond ran
close to old wooden buildings which
were OF most inflammable charac.
ter, and for this reason the fear OF
fire prevented the consideration of
wood as material for the yiaduct
construction. II was thought the most
natural material to use under the cir
cumstances. therefore. woull be struc-
tural steel, and the first pans tor the
work were made for that sort OF
structure. The engineer in charge.
however, suggested before work actu-
ally commenced that reinforced CON
crete could be adopted for this as we'll
as for the more ordinary type of
building, and his suggestion was in
dorsed by the management.
The foundation was therefore laid
OF sun clay and gravel and footings
built to bear a weight OF three tons
square foot to provide for all pos
sible stresses including proposed fu-
ture double tracking. The concrete
was made Of one part Portland ce-
ment, two parts granite dust and four
ms ~ fS rYitc nj 70
a three-Qusrter-inch ring. Throughout
WAS used a steel trussed bar for the
reinforcing.
The spans vary in length from is
to 10 feet, the latter distance from
support to support making many build
ers open their eyes in wonder. But,
in completed form, the whole viaduct
is practically one great monolith. as
truly as II It had been carved out OF
stone-with the added strength. quite
beyond that OF any stone. impaired by
the steel within It's body.
In testing the viaduct before II was
accepted by the railroad a locomotive
and tender and two steel gondola cars
loaded with steel rails and weigh
ing about 10000 pounds each were
run the full length of the structure
The train was then run back and de-
Elections measured for several spans
After that a test WAS made by break
ing the train at various points on the
viaduct, and. finally, by running the
engine and cars at speed Of 35 miles
an hour over the structure. A defec.
ton OF seven-thirty-seconds of an inch
was the maximum, which proves the
elasticity and reliability Of the mate.
rial Trains are now running over
the viaduct.
