Both the president and his bride
agreed not, to have their wedding. in
the White House. but in her home

Is called the social hub Of the capl-
tai. She lives there in a tastefully
arranged house, somewhat small by
comparison with the mansions which
surround 1t. 1t Is not large enough
for entertaining on an extended scale
and for that reason large company
was not invited to the wedding. Mr..

all relatives.
Tho repeatedly expressed wish OF
the couple for a quiet wedding un-
attended by any great amount Of pub
iicty is responsible for the general
lack of common knowledge Of so
many Of the details which attend such
a ceremony. No public announce

ceived and likewise there has been On

the city to complete her trousseau.

new BRIDGE
CONTINUED from page L.

tion Of such line it was either neces-
saIy to build q new bridge across
the Elk creek or. make some arrange
ments to use the Fourth street bridge.
This bridge was examined and 1t
was found that 1t was not in condi-
ton to carry trolley cars. After
negotiating with the county for some
time 1t was agreed that the traction
company could use the bridge, but
that the company would have to
stand the expense Of putting the
structure In shape for use. The re-
suit was that in 1901 the traction
company rebuilt the floor system Of
the bridge and Immediately began
the operation Of trolley cars from
the Baltimore and Ohio station to
Clarksburg proper.
1t was but short time after this
that the people of Clarksburg began
to realize that the old steel bridge
was inadequate to handle the grow
ing traffic. To be sure 1t was not
more than half dozen years be-
fore the steel bridge was completed
and at that time 1t was thought that
the structure would be able to handle
the maximum traffic burden and
would last for years, but the men
who built the bridge did not realize
that the growth of Clarksburg would
be so great or that it would come
in so short q time.
The New Bridge.
By 1912 1t was fully realized that
a bigger bridge. must replace. the
old one. The old one was not only
unable to carry the increased traflc,
but It had been subjected to such
heavy wear that 1t was very near an
unsafe condition. In 1913 the city
OF Clarksburg decided to hold bond
election to provide means for. re-
placing the old bridge. The bond
issue passed and on May 10. 1912, the
contract was let to the Luten Bridge
Company, Of York, Pa.
In the beginning Of. this. sketch 1t
was stated that not more than ten
years ago the people Of West Vir-
ginia did not, believe that it was
possible to build a bridge Of any
size out of concrete. IN 1897, when
the work on the old steel bridge
was started, the men who built 1t
would have considered building the
Fourth street bridge Of pastboard
as soon as OF concrete. However,
by 1914 the people of West Virginia
and other states had taken DIFF
ferent view Of concrete. And Profess
sor Luten, formerly q member Of
the faculty Of Purdue Engineering
School. had done much to cause
this change.

In the District Court Of the United State,

REINFORCED with steel. the .sidewalks
are cemented and the roadway
will be paved with Grafton vitrified
brick. 1t might be interesting to the
reader to know that this bridge is
the largest concrete bridge In the
state of West Virginia and that It
cost more money than any other con-
crete bridge in West Virginia. There
are three large concrete bridges in
West Virginia. The Fourth street
bridge is the largest, one under
course Of construction at Grafton, and
being built by the Luten Bridge
Company Is the next in size. And
the concrete bridge at Anderson ia
the third in size.
Interesting Facts.
The Fourth street bridge consists
Of five main arches and one smaller
one. The structure Is called a filled
spandrel arch bridge. The main ad-
vantages is that 1t Is massive in type
and appearance and it not only gives
the effect of great stability, but 1t
is pronounced by. engineers to be
practically ever lasting.
The lay mind is always interest
ing in dimensions and size Of any
structure. For this reason the Tele-
gram Is giving q few Of these inter-
esting facts. The bridge contains
about 1000 cubic yards of concrete.
Reducing this to pounds we find that
100000 pounds Of concrete, or
5000 tons, was used in the con-
struction. In addition there was
used about $500 yards of cinders,
or 100000 pounds. The total
weight of all the material used Ia
25, 100000 pounds.
The Wiring.
All the telephone, telegraph and
electric light wires crossing the
bridge are laid in conduit. There
VIII be no overhead wiring across the
bridge except the trolley wire. These
facts are interesting in showing that
the construction of the bridge has
been worked out to the finest detail.
There will be one trolley wire
across the bridge which will be sup
ported by combination ornamental
trolley poles, constructed Of con-
crete.
The lighting System.
The lighting of the new bridge
will be of the very latest and most
improved type. Rectified magnetic
arcs will be used and they will be
placed on ornamental fixtures. Over
each pier a concrete pole has been
raised and upon these poles a bracket
extends containing the lights which
hangs over the sidewalk. Each light
is much stronger and throws more
powerful rays than the present city
arc lights.
Carrying Capacity.
There are some more interesting
facts in connection with the carrying
capacity Of the new structure. The
bridge Ia designed to carry $50
pounds on each square foot of the
road way. In addition to this the
road way will carry as many sixty
ton interurban trolley cars as can
be lined upon 1t. The sidewalks arc
designed to carry 100 pounds for
each square foot.
The Details.
Frank D. McEnteer, consulting
engineer for the city OF Clarksbure
wrote the specifications for the bridge
and he also prepared the general
plan. The detail plan was prepared
by Daniel B. Luten, of Indianapolis.
and It was carefully checked IN the
office OF Mr.. McEnteer. Nothing was
left undone to assure. the city Of the
best bridge that the money could build.

 Clashes between the factions favoring the opposing war con tinue to create disturbances in Italy and the plan of the gov ernment to suppress public meet ings for the discussion of this

DROP BLACKMAIL CHARGE AGAINST DELLA PRISONERS Mainero and Borino, Arrest ed On Merchant s Story,

 $1oo MARKED BILLS Creditors Await Federal Authorities Action In
 Perjury Case

It was learned today that the cases of Leonard Mainero and Ralph Bor- ino, charged with conspiracy with att tempt to blackma31, have been nolled by States Attorney Homer s. Cum gningA The $100 in marked bills which Borino- and Mainero are said to have demanded from Joseph Della in the much discussed bankruptcy case were returned to Della by State Policeman Frank Viriddi yesterday
 The reason given for the nolle is the recent decision of Referee John w. Banks, who denied Della a mo- tion for a discharge from bankruptcy because the court found that Della swore falsely during the proceedings, It was thought that this decision dis credited Delia's charge against Mai nero and Borino.
 Della appeared at the criminal su- perior court to get his $100 but State the money until he had been notified nolled He was informed by Assist ant States Attorney Carter that it would be all right to give Della his money.
 The arrest of Bor1no and Mainero resulted from the tangle in the bus1- ness affairs of Della who conducted a bicycle store in Pembroke street. It was alleged that they promised to fix things for Della for $500 and $10O in marked bills was afterward found on them by the police.
 Tn consequence of Referee Banks recision 1t is reported that the Fed eral authorities may take some ac- ton against Della for perjury.
