NEW CONCRETE BRIDGES.
Philadelphia's Fifty-Four Now Com
pleted or Building.


From Casters Magazine.
The city of Philadelphia is one Of the
most extensive users Of concrete in the
world. It possesses, either completed or
in course of construction, fiftyfour con-
crete bridges These bridges have spans
varying from % to 233.
The standard specifications for Phila-
delpaia bridges require that the concrete
shall be a 1876 composition. That is.
the proportions are by measurement one
part cement, three parts coarse sand or
gravel or stone screening and six parts
crushed stone.
Cleveland, Ohio, possesses what is per-
haps the very --LATEST concrete bridge in
the world. This bridge has three hinges
of plates and angles. For bearing sur
faces plates of cast iron are employed.
The hinges were creased before being
put in place to avoid rust. At the joints
a half inch of pure asphalt separates the
concrete The composition of the con-
crete is 1si2-5 mixture. Between abut-
ment hinges the span is over SO feet and
the rise of the arch above these hinges
is only > feet liz inches.
The Walnu, lane bridge in Philadel-
mia is one 1T the most striking examples
of concrete construction to be found
anywhere in the world. Interest focuses,
Of course upon the central arch This
consists of tWosribs. each eighteen feet
wide at the crown and somewhat wider
at the skew back! The depth of each rib
al the crown is 80 feet. The clear span
Is e:,., feet, which is Il longer span than
that of any other concrete arch in Amer
lea. The roadway is about 40 feet above
the surface OF the waters OF the Wis
sahickon creek. The construction is OF
reinforced concrete.

 Yuma Sun: A swell train of eight cars, locaded with rich Boston street car magnates, passed through Yuma last evening at six o'clock as first No. 1. The party have been touring the coast country for some days and were on their way back to old Boston. The train stopped at Yuma only a few minutes, but long enough for the Yuma Indian squaws who exhibit their handi- work of beads and chains, to reap a harvest from these eastern nabobs. Some of the Indian wo- men sold out their entire stock. The party invested at least $100 in these souvenirs. The conductor in charge of the train volunteered the information that his train rep resented capital worth a half a billion of dollars. 4

Work on the aviatory it is believed, will be commenced early the coming spring, and will be completed by May 1st.

Apache county they only have district court once in a year, and this time it only took the district court one and a half days to dispose of all the business that it had there.

 Holbrook Argus: Captain War ren was up from the Aztec Ranch this week, bringing the news that the artesian we'll recently bored at the ranch, was flowing at the rate of over two hundred gallons per hour. It is also the most pure water this side of the mountains. The drillers are still going deeper, it being their opinion that they will strike the reservoir of water beneath the rock they are now boring through. Should this be the case, it will mean a gusher and plenty of water.
 Yuma Sentinel: J. J. Maxey on Monday petlioned the board of supervisors by letter for a license to conduct a saloon in Vicksburg, a thriving camp in north Yuma county on the Arizona and Cali fornia railroad. The request was accompanied by check for $500, the license fee for an entire year. The board refused to permit the issuing of the license and re. turned Mir. Maxey his check. The residents of Vicksburg had pre- yiously expressed themselves as opposed to a saloon within the town.
 Bisbee Miner: News of the greatest importance was brought to Bisbee yesterday morning from the Sulphur Spring valley by Jack Doyle. He states that the Southern Pacific has struck a flow of artesian water at Kelton. The flow was struck at depth of little over HOO feet and was so strong that it blew the drill out of the top of the we'll. The flow is estimated at about 9,000,000 gallons in "A hours, although some say that the flow is much greater than that figure. The water spouts up out of the top of the casing to height of several feet.

WANTS MORE DAMAGES.
Mary e. Chase Appeals From Award
of Appraisers.

The suit Of Mary E. Chase against
the city of Topeka for $4,000 damage
resulting from the condemnation of the
rear half of lot 81 on Kansas avenue
for the purpose Of making an alley
around the rear Of the G. A. r. Me-
mortal square, began in the district
court this morning.
When the site for the memorial build
ing at corner of Tenth avenue and Jack
son street was decided upon, the city
offered to vacate the alley running east
and west between the old school build
ing and the property of the Santa Fe.
Then in order to have a passage way
from the north alley beginning at
Tenth avenue, IS feet from Kansas
avenue and extending north to lot 311,
Ninth street beginning at the rear OF
lot 81, $50 from Kansas avenue, the
CITY condemned a 20 foot slice, rs feet
long, from the rear half of lot 81.
J. B. Larimer and Chas. Spencer are
presenting the case for the plaintiff
J. A. Clark, his assistant, are defend
ing the action of the mayor and coun-
Gil.
A score of real estate men, some
brought by one side, and some by the
other. are testifying to the value OF
the lot and the portion condemned
That the rear of the lot, five foo-
strip is of no market value is prac-
tica1ly conceded. From the fact that
the old alley extended lengthwise with
the lot for a distance of rs feet ami
then turned north across the rear of 1t,
the lot was a specially valuable one to
merchants because Of the daylight ia
cilities and the easy way of handling
merchandise.
The value of the property in that
block has advanced rapidly since the
assurance of the Mills building, the adj
ditional Santa Fe offices and the me-
mortal building. Real estate men say
the market value of the lot is $4,000.
The property in question was puc-
chased by Kent Chase in 1881 and re-
verified to his widow, Mary E., at his
death. At present the Improvement
upon the property is of little value ex
cept that it brings some rent. 1t is oc-
cupied by the Alexander barber shop.
