MORE PATCHING NEEDED
BY ACUEDUCT BRIDGE
Divers Find Cavities in Two Piers.
Old Masonry De-
teriorating.

In order to determine the condition of
the old piers of the Aqueduct bridge
crossing the Potomac at Georgetown, Col
Langfitt, the engineer officer in charge of
river and harbor works in this vicinity,
had them carefully examined by diver
a few days ago. In a report to the War
Department Col. Langfitt says that the
old repair work was found to be in good
condition, except in two places, where the
concrete had shifted away from the piers
Those places will be strengthened by the
placing of additional concrete. Small
cavities were found in piers and d.
They will be filled with concrete in bags,
about four cubic yards of the mixture
being applied in each case. No other
cavities were found which could be treat
ed In that way, but several open joints
i'm piers and were protected by facing
with concrete in bags wherever practi-
cable
Previous reports showed process OF
gradual deterioration of the masonry OF
the old piers below the water line as
the result of the falling out of stones at
or near the upstream end, and led to a
general recommendation for an entirely
new bridge or complete reconstruction
of the present structure. 1t is stated
that the repairs now in progress neces-
sarily are but temporary in character,
designed for the continued use of the
bridge as long as possible. 1t already
has been found necessary to replace en-
tirely three of the original piers of the
bridge, and the life of the others is pro-
longed only by frequent repairs.

WATER BLOWN FROM CREEKS.
schooners Left High and Dry in the
Mind

The creeks tributary to the Potomac, in
which many of the schooners employed

and cord wood. were almost emptied of
water during the northwest blow early in
the week and it is stated that as yet the
water has not come back into the creeks
and quite a large fleet of wood and lum-
Der hookers are held prisoners in them.
A message from the captain of the
schooner Lottie Carter, in Nanjamoy
creek, ready to sail for this city. states
that the vessel was almost high and dry

there was but little indication Of the tide
making sufficiently for her to get out OF
the creek
The schooner Mary Ann Shea. which
is bringing lumber from Aqua creek. was,
according to reports, caught by the low
water when about ready to sail. The
Peri was also in Aqua creek, but she
was not loaded. Vessels lying in Nebasco
creek. Powel1s creek and at other points
also were caught by the low water. The
river line steamers trading into the
creeks tributary TO the Potomac found
it difficult to make landings for lack of
water and several OF them had to be
missed entirely.
