BRIDGE REPORTED UNSAFE.
Aqueduct Across Potomac River at
RossIyn Subject of Report.

Complaint of the dangerous condition
Of the Aqueduct Bridge, between George
town and Rosslyn. over the Potomac
River, was made to Col. Langfitt, the
engineer officer in charge of river and
harbor works in this vicinity. by
Crandel Mackay, attorney for Alexan-
dria County. .-.
Col. Langfitt made a report of the
matter to the War Department. In his
report he says that the superstructure
of the bridge was constructed under the
direction OF the District Commissioners
and is under their jurisdiction. He add
ed that the substructure, consisting Of
the piers and abutments, are under the
supervision OF the United States engi-
neer officers.
The entire reconstruction of this
bridge. the report goes on. has been rec
commended in the reports Of his Office
for several years past. largely on account
of the uncertainty Of the extent OF dam
age that may have been caused to the
foundations by floods since the latest
examination Of the piers. several months
ago.

least 60 per cent Of all persons on board,
and lake. bay, and sound steamers be-
tween the dates named should have

Central Church MEETINGS..

There was large house last night
at the Central Church of Christ re-
vival to hear Rev. c. II. Morris on the
subject, ''Cornelius.' This is the story
OF the conversion of the first Gentle,
a story which is one Of the best known
OF all the bible stories. 1t was hard for
the apostles, being Jews, to under
stand that salvation was also for the
Gentiles. 1t took a vision to convince
Peter that they We're no longer un
clean, and that God was no respecter
of persons. The law was given only to
the Jews, but salvation came thru
Christ, the law simply led up to Christ.
1t even took a miraculous demonstra-
ton of the Holy Spirit to convince
Peter that they were fit subjects for
baptism. Cornelius was a splendid
type Of man. A Roman soldier, and a
devout man. one who feared God with
al his house. gave much aims to the
people and prayed to God always. To
be devout means devoted, conSecrated
set apart, holy in life. He had no hid
den skeletons Of sin in his heart, but
was a man who lived out in the open
Some men try to cloak their sin by a
profession of unbelief. He was God
fearing man. not the fear of guilt but
a reverential fear. And he gave aims.
Many people think if they pray, read
the bible and attend church they have
done all that is required of them, but
this is only worship not service. Cor
nelius was not only a praying man.
but he worked out his prayers. Cor
nelius was a good man, but he needed
