The Railroad Work.

The concrete work and grading for
the new N. & W. Railway bridge
across the Potomac river at Shepherds.
town has been completed, and Super
irtendent Chas. L Stephens has had
Contractor Flickwir's machinery and
tools made ready for shipment else
where. Part of the equipment will be
sent to New Jersey, where Mr.. Flick
wir has a contract for the removal of
some 600, 900 cubic yards Of earth
aud rock on line being built for the
Delaware, Lackawsnna and Western
Railroad and the balance goes to Roa-
noke. Material for the new track to
the south end of the bridge is on tn
way here. aud will be laid as fast az
the roadbed is leveled up
The new concrete piers are hand
some structures, and 1t is said that
they are as good as concrete work can
be- made. The highest pier is 893 feet
from the bottom OF the river to the
top OF the concrete, and the others
are almost as high. They are said to
be the highest concrete piers in the
world, with one exception-.those of
the new Virginian Railway across New
river being about 81 feet. The bridge
at this place will be on grade, as
cending toward the Maryland shore.
From the top rsil to the bottom of the
river the distance will be III to lis
teet, or about dozen feet higher than
the old bridge.
The iron workers have been as busy
as bees the past week. The first grid.
ers of the bridge were swung in place
by the great iron traveller the latter
part of last week, and many specta-
tors stood on the hills aud watched the
interesting sight. The men climb
about on ropes and chains and ride on
the swinging iron at dizzy heights
with apparently no thought of dan.
ger. 1t looks as though they are in
i
peril of their lives every minute, but
you don't hear them saying their
prayers-quite the contrary.
A large force of men is busy remov.
ing the earth and rock from the site
of the new station, and are making
rapid progress. Part Of the material
is now being used to ell up High street
at the corner of College street, and
part is being used for the switch to
connect the old line with the new just
south OF the bridges.
John Lamb, the blind man, is talk.
ing of suing the railroad people for
damages. They have changed Main
street so greatly he can't find bis way
to and from home any more without
a guide.
