The last of the old New York Il
Long Branch Railroad bridge, which
was put out Of service year and half
ago, will be removed by McMullen &
McDermott early next week. The
work was to have been started today,
but the non-arrival Of men caused the

scores of years this bridge had acted
as the connecting link between the me-
tropolis and Jersey seaside resorts.
This structure has been replaced by
the new New York & Long Branch rail
road bridge, which Is conceded by en-
gineers to be the finest girder bridge
of its kind in the world.
Contractors McMullen & McDermott
have much material at the north end
of the bridge, which will be removed

Work has been at standstill at their

of sea snake fully 200 feet long lying

tapping ears, and a flowing name ex-
tending from his wicked head down to
