The reckless bravery of the Turco,

the amazing bravery our fellows showed
right up to the jaws of death. We had

walls of Charleroi. There were 100 nm
of the enemy massed against our pos,.
items, pouring shot and shell into u.s. Nv
splendid lads never ninched, although
they had not chance for meal. Some.
times the advantage was with u.s. Some
times we had to give way. The NOR.
our artillery moved down the more ths
enemy seemed to spring up. They
swarmed in all directions, and that I,
why their casualties are much heavior
than ours
Suddenly our colonel cried Give tb.
Turcos free REIN The avalanche he
gan. 1t was like hell let loose. They
tore along the enemy's batteries for a
full mile. The Prussian guard was ex
tended over about thousand yards. A,
the charge continued the boys chanted tho
'Marseillaise,' but one comrade could
hardly hear the other. On they dashed
however, till they were within perhan,
fifteen yards, when the batteries in ths
wood ceased firing, or they would have
moved down their own guards
"Then the bloodiest of all bayopet

Is expected that the four other tracks
will be laid down and in use by the first

awry.
Work on the bridge was started about
a year aEo when the Pennsylvania Rail-
road found that the old two-track bridge
was not large enough to care for all OF
the demands Of traffic, both passenger
and freight.
Worl, ON the bridge was carried on
under difficulties, none of the trains being
interrupted while work was going on,
the new bridge being built beside the old
one and as work on it neared completion
on one side the tracks were switched over
temporarily until the new tracks could be
laid. The trains which 60 over this
bridge are those of the Chestnut Hill
branch. New York Division and the At
lantic City bridge trains.
