??aps anil Jatts. ? Hartford, Conn., Nov. 3: The only rear platform address made by Judge Parker was when his train stopped at Meriden for Ave minutes on the way to Hartford. It was an Impromptu address In which he flayed the Republican party because of the financial aid that party is alleged to have received from trusts. He charged that every monopoly, including the Standard Oil company, is doing everything in its power to bring about the election of the Republican ticket. The speech created a sensation, both in the audience that gathered at the depot to greet the candidate and among the members of the Judge's party. The mention of the Standard Oil com pany In this connection is the nrst denial the Democratic candidate has made to the charge that the .Standard Oil company Is preparing to assist financially toward his election. ? James Hendrix, aged 22, one of the most prominent young men of Montgomery, Ala., was found dead early last Tuesday morning on the roof of the American National bank building in that city, with a set of burglar's tools lying near him. He was killed while trying to cut an electric wire. The police are making every efTort to ferret out the mystery which surrounds the death of Hendrix. Hendrix was dressed in his militia uniform and his citizen clothes were found at the armory of the Montgomery Grays. A complete set of burglar's tools was near him and on Hendrlx's person were nitro-glycerine, dynamite, fuses, a glass cutter and a pistol. The coroner's Jury returned a verdict of death by electricity. The friends of the dead man are astonished beyond expression. Hendrix was very prominently connected. Hendrix was on Monday seen in company with a strange man who had been spotted during the day by the chief of police. This man is believed to have been an expert burglar, who in some way had secured the confidence of Hendrix. The dead man was familiar with the bank building and intimate with the bank's officials. ? The last of the census bulletins giving the returns of its agents on cotton ginned for the present year up to October 18th last, was issued from Washington at noon yesterday. It shows the total number of running bales to be 6,590,137 as against 3,839,728 running bales for last year. Counting the round bales included in these totals as half bales the balance for 1904 is reduced to .417,884. The .total number of running bales ginned to October 18 in 1902 was 5,925,872. The reports from the various cotton producing states for the present year follow:' Alabama 6&4.780 bales; Arkansas 237,776; Florida 40,642; Georgia 1,056,679; Indian Territory 181,316; Kentucky 284; Louisiana 392,758; Mississippi 561,704; Missouri 10,621; North Carolina 309,079; Oklahoma 106,237; South Carolina 629,857; Tennessee 79,688; Texas 2,201,663; Virginia 5,145. The total number of ginneries in operation was 28,110. Up to October 18 in 1903, 37.6 per cent of the total crop had been ginned as compared with 53.5 per cent in 1902. This report will be followed by four others, showing the quantity of cotton ginned from the growth of 1904 November 15, to December 15, to January 16, and to the end of the season. ? Judge Parker launched an attack on the Republicans a few days ago, charging them with securing campaign contributions from the trusts and the matter seems to have non-plussed the Republican leaders. Judge Parker's language was as follows: "Overwh'Jming in importance as are these issues, above them all tower the ques tlons: Shall the partnership between the Republican leaders and the trusts continue with profit to both, and hurt to the country? Shall the trust contributions of millions to the campaign fund secure the right to continue the wrongful taking of many millions a year :from the people?" There had been numerous irresponsible charges in thfc newspapers to the effect that the trusts were making large contributions to the Democratic cause. The story was coming be generally accepted as a fact. Judge Parker made the declaration above not only to clear the' skirts of the Democratic party but to put the guilt where it properly belongs. Republican newspapers and smaller politicians have tried to refute - Judge Parker, but it is a noticeable fact that President Roosevelt and Chairman Cortelyou," the only people of corresponding prestige are keeping quiet. There is a growing feeling that Roosevelt and Cortelyou are afraid to deny Judge Parker's allegation because they know the allegation is true and there is reason to believe that Judge Parker is in a position to furnish the proof. ? New York Times. Nov. 1: Tremendous exports of cotton were reported yesterday from all the southern ports. The total reached nearly 200.000 bales, which, according to those acquainted with the cotton trade, is unprecedented in the history of cotton exports. At the rate of 10 cents a pound the exports yesterday represented the enormous sum of $10,000,090, which this country will be able to draw from Europe for this one day's exports alone. With these exports before it. Wall street was not surprised to hear that there had been exceedingly heavy transactions, in foreign exchange, one prominent bank alone buying $1,500,000 In cotton blllst. Of the exports yesterday, as far as could be ascertained up to the close of business, over 70,000 bales went to England, 25,000 bales went to France, 75,000 bales to the European Continent, and 7,000 bales to Mexico and Japan. For the season the exports amount to 1,975,000 bales, against 1,477,000 bales last year. These tremendous exports served to steady the cotton market, which otherwise was weak because of many bearish Influences. Atnong these were enormous port receipts of 95,000 bales and heavy receipts in the Interior, as well as the publication of the third section of the census bureau's ginners' report showing that In 668 counties, 5,704,570 bales had been ginned. This Is an increase of 70 per cent over last year and an increase over 1902, and, according to trade experts, the complete report for 812 counties will show that nearly 7,000,000 bales had been ginned up to Oct. 18. According to Theodore H. Price, this would mean a crop of 12,000,000 bales. !hc ^joriwiUc (inquirer. YORKVILLE, 8. O.i FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1904. The dispensary should be abolished and licenses issued to citizens under heavy bond to sell whisky in the manner that the dispensary now sells it, that is: in sealed vessels of not less than half a pint, only between sunrise and sunset and not to be drunk on the premises. This would preserve all the good features of the dispensary and eliminate the bad features. And it would yield more profit than the present law. The only people who would suffer by the change are the members of the purchasing board.?Spartanburg Journal. This suggestion is good. If there is any merit in the sealed package idea, there Is undoubted merit in the proposition to put the sale of whisky I in the hands of private individuals. The traffic must be taken out of the hands of the state. There is no other possible way to rid it of the suspicion to which Senator Tillman recently referred. But will the Journal please explain exactly what It means when it says that members of the purchasing1 board will suffer by the change it proposes. Parker or Roosevelt. While there is a pretty well-defined opinion throughout the south as to the probable result of next Tuesday's general election, still it must be confessed that the issue is involved in more or less doubt. Taker, altogether the chances seem to favor the election of Roosevelt. This outcome has been foreshadowed by postal card canvasses taken in the interest of either side, and there are other reasons why such a development may be looked for; but it must be confessed that there is no certainty as to what will happen. -The campaign has been a peculiar one. There has not been a great deal of noise. It is generally conceded that more than anything else to which it can be compared the situation resembles that which existed ail along in the Cleveland-Blaine campaign, except that there has been even less noise. While the managers on both sides have been claiming practically everything, there is reason to believe that they are lacking absolute confidence In what they are professing to believe. That they really hope for success is quite p-obable; but they are not at all certain. One of the best illustrations prob ably Is to be found in tne state or iNew York. Up to ten days ago President Roosevelt and his lieutenants were practically certain of the state of New York. They were not willing to concede the remotest probability of the loss of this state. The sum of all the reformation available from all sources, however, seems to be that Parker will certainly carry the city by a much larger plurality than that by which McClellan carried It, and his chances for carrying the state are very good. Even the Republicans have awakened to this fact, and they are unable to conceal their apprehension. Conditions throughout the state of New York favor the collection of reaaorably accurate forecasts with more facility than in any of the other states. Several of the larger states of the middle west that have gone Democratic in times past?states like Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin?are held by the Democrats to be at least doubtful. The Republicans consider them safe for Roosevelt. Next Tuesday may possibly show changes similar to those that have taken place in New York, but ':his at best is a slim hope. NEXT TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS. Six Electoral Tickets In the Field, and 27 Governors to be Elected. Nine national political conventions were held this year, and nine candidates for president and vice president of the United States were nominated, but only six electoral tickets will be generally voted for one week from tomorrow. Besides "the two great political parties," seven others made nominations?People's, Prohibition, Socialist, Socialist Labor, Continental Labor). National Liberty (negro) and Lincoln (negro). The two negro parties, however, apparently ended their work when the national convention adjourned, as no electors have been selected, or at least none will appear on any official ballot; and the Continental party seems to be confined to Illinois, and, perhaps, to Chicago, the place of its origin. The terms of 30 United States senators expire March 4, next. Seven of the vacancies have already been filled, and the legislatures of 23 states to be elected November 8 will fill the other 23. Members of the house of representatives are to. be voted for In all except three states?Maine, Vermont and Oregon?which have already elected their congressmen. In 27 states a governor and all, or nearly all, the elective state officers are to be chosen. In five states minor state officers are to be selected, and in 13 electors are to be voted for. South Carolina enjoys the distinction of having only one ticket in the field. All the other states have from four to six. III: ioIs leading with seven. There are three Republican tickets in Delaware, but only one variation in the names of the candidates, the nominee for governor of the "regulars" refusing to abide by the decision of the factional conference which resulted in the withdrawal of the "Union" candidate and an agreement upon a compromise ticket. The Republicans in Wisconsin will ha>e a choice between two tickets for state officers, the "Stalwarts" having decided to keep up their fight against LaFollete. The electors on both tickets, however, are identical. The Democrats and People's party, or Populists, fused on the state ticket in Kansas and Nebraska, but in both states the People's party named separate presidential electors. In Nevada the Democrats and one wing of the Silver party divided the minor state offi cere to be voted for, but the "Stalwart Silver" men put up their own electors. The People's party, which Indorsed Mr. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, has an active organization in 33 of the 45 states, the nominee for state officers and electors being on the official ballot in 12 states, and for electors in 21. Efforts to this end were made in a number of other states, but the requisite number of signatures to petitions were not obtained. The Prohibitionists have electoral and state tickets in 27 states and electoral tickets in 12 others, 11 more than in 1900. The Socialists (called in some states Social Democrats) have electoral and state tickets in 32 states and electoral tickets in 11 others?seven more than in 1900.

ROCK HILL AND VICINITY. t Cotton Moving More Slowly?Warehouse Company to be Organized? Scarcity of Pork?The New Hog Ordinance?Hunting Season. Correspondence of the Yorkrille Enquirer. Rock Hill, Nov. 4.?Although thi cotton market has had an upward tendency the past few days there has been a noticeable falling off in the receipts on this market. The farmers say this is due to the fact that the bulk of the crop has been sold and there is nothing like the, amount of cotton in the country now that there was a month ago. There is no doubt of the fact that the biggest part of the crop in this section * ? ? 1 ? J-- ~ ?? nnlrAf/v/l on/1 O m Q . nas aireau) uccn miuncm Jorlty of the farmers have paid off all their indebtedness and are In a position to hold the balance of their crop until after Christmas if they wish to do so. But it is also a fact that the heaviest receipts on this market often come in when the market is on the decline. A commission having been issued by the Secretary of state to the Farmers' Union Warehouse company of Rock Hill, books of subscription to the -capital stock of the company will be opened on Saturday, Nov. 6th, at the office of Wilson & Wilson. The authorized capital stock is $5,000, shares $25 each. The board of corporators consist of the following gentlemen: F. C. Whitner, T. M. Allen, W. J. Miller, J. B. Johnson, D. P. Lesslle, J. H. Steele, N. B. Williams, W. B. Wilson. The meat market dealers of this city can scarcely get enough pork to supply their customers. They cannot buy the hogs. They say, however, it is not because the hogs are not in the country. There art-plenty of them and a number of them will be sold later on. The farmers have plenty of corn this year and want to fatten their hogs before selling them. The dealers here are paying from 6 cents to 6j cents for hogs on the foot They have no trouble in securing all the beef cattle they can use. There are now five markets here. Since the Southern authorities have decided to make Rock Hill the terminal point for all freight trains on the Charleston division of the Southern between Marion and Kingville, Instead of Blacksburg, those who are in a position to know say there is a strong probability of the shops also being removed to this city. Rock Hill being centrally located between Marion and Kingville, is really the proper place for the shops and they will doubtless be removed here during the coming year. The new hog ordinance recently passed by the city council, will materially interfere with the raising of hogs in the city; but the condition some people allowed their hog pens to get in prompted the action taken by the council and board of health. The new ordinance requires all pens to be forty feet square for each hog and not less than 100 feet from any house in which a family is living. .The hunting season is now open and the sportsmen are beginning to roam the fields. A number of farmers have their lands posted, however, and hunters do not have free range of the country as they did some years ago. Mrs. Margaret Adams', aged 7* years, died Wednesday night at. 10 o'clock at her home' on North Academy street. She had been in failing health for some time. Funeral services were conducted frorri the First Presbyterian church Thursday afternoon by Rev. W., L. Lingle, after which the interment took place in Laurelwood cemetery in the presence of a large number of friends of the deceased. Mrs. Adams is survived by two children, Miss Alice Adams, and Mrs. Byers of Sharon. Three step-daughters also survive. They are Misses Julia and Sallie Adams and Mrs. Levi Springs, all of Charlotte. It will be remembered that a son, Ernest, lost his life while in the employ of the old Three C's railroad several years ago. . S. J. Kimball's big western horse sale dr?w a large crowd yesterday, despite the rainy and disagreeable weather. The prices realized ranged from $35 to $80, only one bringing the latter price. A majority of the animals sold for $45, $50 and $55. The most of them appeared to be as wild and vicious as when they were first driven off the western prairies and the lassoing of the animals after the sale was over, furnished no little sport and amusement for the several hundred spectators who gathered to witness the performance. Several times the haltered animals with two or three strong negroes at the end of a long rope, trying to hold them, dashed through the big crowd of people knocking some down, but fortunately no one was seriously hurt. One aniImnl tvhleh nnrparwl tn hp more wild and vicious than the others, was haltered a-hd "turned over to the purchaser, a lar'gfe fiefcrd ' rnan. The horse at once began to rear and pitch high in the afr. The negro was soon Jerked off his feet, but held on to the rope as if life depended on It, and was dragged like a block of wood until the frightened animal mounted the iron fence enclosing Captain W. L. Roddey's front yard and then paused for a few minutes as if studying what course to take next. Others came to the assistance of the negro who was well nigh exhausted by this time and the animal was once more coaxed into the street, but went straight over the fence into J. N. McElwee's yard opposite the home of Capt. Roddey. It was some time before the animal was again brought partially under control and the performance continued down East Main street. A drizzling rain fell nearly all day yesterday and the dust on our streets is laid once more. Likely enough, mud instead of dust will be our next trouble. Verily, man is hard to please.

The partridge shooting season opened on last Tuesday, November 1, and many sportsmen throughout the county, including several from Yorkvllle, took occasion to make a round among the birds. Although as yet there have been no reports of even fairly good shooting, from such Information as it has been practicable to gather from sportsmen, the birds are quite plentiful, even more J so than usual. Because of the rank vegetation, however, no good shooting | can be expected until after there has been a killing frost. Most of the birds, one sportsman observes, are quite small, and he takes It that as the result of the dry weather J that has prevailed all. summer there have been two broods, and the prob ability is that later on after the birds have had time to develop, and vegetation is killed down by the frost there will be lots of good shooting. WITHIN THE TOWN. ? Mr. J. S. ^andifer, clerk of the board of state and county election commissioners and Mr. A. F. McConnell, clerk of the board of Federal election commissioners will be about the court house all day tomorrow to deliver election boxes. , ? The Dreamland Carnival company is due in Yorkville next Tuesday, November 8 and will I'erhd.fn through November 12. Mr. Joseph M. Marx, general representative has been here a day or two distributing advertising matter and making preliminary arrangements. The attractions are enumerated in another column. Mr. Marx says the company has been meeting with fine success wherever it has been, especially in Charlotte and Shelby, and is quite certain that his attractions are superior to anything of the kind previously seen In Yorkville. ? A notable feature of the flower show last Tuesday was a collection of roses, exhibited by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Cemetery association. The entire collection came from the cemetery and included specimens of the following varieties: Marie Von Houtte, Clotile Superb, Meteor, Pearl of the Garden, Etoile de Lyon, Bride, Mary Washington, Empress of. China, Siren Sisters, Gen. Jacqueminot, Crimson Bedder. R. E. Lae. Marie Guillot, Cath lOes. tie is or opinion mar iie ww at least 100 bushels off his quarter of an acre and possibly not less than 120 bushels. Chambers Is well known as one of the best negro farmers in this locality, and it is probable that from his two-horse crop this year he will get eighteen or twenty bales of cotton and about 180 bushels of corn. ABOUT PEOPLE. Mrs. O. P. Heath of Charlotte, was the guest for several' days this week of Mrs. Ernest Heath. Mrs. G. M. Lowrance returned home this morning after a visit of several weeks to Mr. R. A. Crowell's family at Albemarle, N. C. Mrs. W. Mason McConnell, who has been visiting In Fairfield county, has returned to Yorlevllle, accompanied by her sister, Miss Flossie McElroy. Mr. W. G. Brown and three children of the Beersheba neighborhood are sick with typhoid fever. The children are thought to be some better than they were a few days ago, but Mr. Brown Is still very sick. Mr. J. W. Miller, carrier on Yorkvllle route No. 6, Is up again after a long siege of typhoid fever. His Illness went hard with him and he Is still quite weak. It will be several days yet probably before he undertakes to go to work again. erine Mermet, Summer Queen, Golden Gate, Augusta Victoria, two varieties of pink, names unknown. There were several clusters of Marie Von Houtte, five or six in a cluster on a stem a yard long, and two pure white Augusta" Victorias on long dtems. Most of the roses came' from private plots. , -r? MRS. J. R. KENNEDY. Mrs. Eliza Jane Kennedy, wife of Mr. James R. R. Kennedy, died at her home near Sharon yesterday morning at 3 o'clock, after -,a brief illness, and was buried in Sharon cemetery this morning at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Kennedy was a daughter of the late Dr. Henry R. Smith. She was left an orphan at an early age; but was graduated from the old Limestone Female college, then as now one of the best institutions of its class in the south. She was married to her husband in 1859. Becoming a member of Sharon church, while still a young woman, and anxious to perform well her part in preserving and promoting all the best Interests of her community, Mrs. Kennedy leaves behind her a record of much good work. Her opposition to the liquor traffic in all its forms has long been proverbial in the Sharon neighborhood, and there are those who assign her a great portion of the credit that is due the little town for having never allowed the establishment of a barroom or dispensary. She has always been relied upon for the heartiest support in whatever seemed calculated to advance the religious or social Interests of her community. Mrs. Kennedy was in the 64th year of her age. She is survived by her husband and six children, the names of the latter being as follows: Samuel N., C. L., W. A., Porter, E. Wltherspoon and Mamie M. Kennedy. HICKSON ON TILLMAN. The last issue of the Greenville Journal, contains a letter to the editor from Rev. F. C. Hickson of Gaffney, discussine: Senator Tillman's recent 9peech at that place. This letter Is so fair and generous as to be truly refreshing, and is well worth reproduction. It redas: "Your letter asking of Tillman's speech, Just to hand. I am so busy with crop and preaching and campaign, that I Just haven't time to hardly look at you. The State of Sunday gives a pretty good outline of his speech. I don't know why they failed to mention that 1 made a reply and that I was making it hot for him when he had to leave for the train. I have Just written a reply to one and the main point he made and will publish it in our county papers. It Is the opinion here that he did us very little damage. We think we will carry the election for prohibition. Tillman seems more provoked at the way the dispensary is being run than at our efforts to vote it out. He said if the reports of mismanagement are true, better kill it than let It go on as re ports say it Is going on. I believe he was sincere In that statement. I don't believe he is a friend to liquor. He really believes that honest people could run the dispensary, as he designed It, so as to curtail the evils of whisky drinking and at the same time make a revenue for the state. "He has too little faith In spiritual force to believe In the effectiveness of prohibition. He received my remarks In the best of spirit and treated me with the kindest consideration. I believe he lost no friends, but possibly made some by his visit. He Is hard to manage In a debate and is often unfair, but I enjoyed.my tuwle with him, and think I managed to minimize the evil he does to prohibition. I like him personally In spite of his faults and believe In his honesty of purpose. He puts me under renewed obligations to jilm every time I meet him. He Is very strong In this county. But I think It was evident to him that his best friends, many of them were against him in this issue. I think the state's editorial of yesterday did him Injustice. On reading his utterances on the Brlce bill I was provoked with him and was tempted to question his own honesty. But his explanation and retractions as to that put him In better light and restored my faith in his honesty of purpose. Of course his reasoning In that even after he explains is wretched. This is often true of him. He hasn't a logical mind, but he has a wonderfully tactful one. He wins his ends by tact and persistence." CHANGES OF SCHEDULE. Some Important changes of schedule will go into effect on the Charleston Division of the Southern next Sunday, November 6. The points of most Interest to this immediate locality are Included in the following summary: Train No. 113, dally, leave Klngvllle 11 a. m., arrive Camden 12.20 p. m., arrive Rock Hill 2.35 p. m., arrive Blacksburg 4.35 p. .n. Train No. 114, daily, leave Blacksburg 7.40 a. m., Instead of 8.43 a. m., as formerly, arrive Rock Hill 9.10 a. m., leave Rock Hill 9.30 a. m., arrive Camden 11.45 a. m., leave Camden 1.45 p. m., arrive Klngvllle 3.15 p. m., Instead of 3.45 p. m., as formerly. Train No. 117, dally, except Sunday, leave Klngvllle 4 p. m., Instead of 3-30 p. m., as formerly," arrive Camden 5.301 p. m., arrive Rock Hill 8.40 p. m., instead of 7.15 p. m., as formerly. Trains 164 and 165 made Rock Hill trains instead of Blacksburg-Kingville trains. Train No. 164, mixed, dally, except Sunday, leave Rock Hill 10.45 a. m., arrive Klngvllle 9.30 p. m. Train No. 165, mixed, daily, except Sunday, leave Klngvllle 5 a, m., arrive Rock Hill 3.36 p. m. Trains Nos. 166-167 made Rock Hill Marion trains, Instead of BlacksburgMarion trains. Train No. 166 mixed, dally, except Sunday, leave Marlon 9 a. m., arrive Rock Hill 6 p. m. Train No. 167, mixed, dally, except Sunday, leave Rock Hill 10 a. m., arrive Marlon 8.50 p. m. Train No. 135, dally, leaves Rock Hill 6 a. m., arrives Marion 11 a. m., instead of 3 p. m., as formerly. The Enquirer has not yet received a copy of the schedule giving exact figures as to the times of^arrlval of the different trains at the various stations In this county but from the figures -given above would estimate that No. 113, which now reaches Yornviue at 3.37 p. m., will hereafter pass this place going west at about 3 o'clock p. m. No. 144, going east will pass Yorkvllle at about 8.40 Instead of 9.45 as now. No. 135 will continue to pass Yorkvllle at about 6.30 a. m.? as now, and for No. 136 now passing Yorkvllle going east at 9.54 daily, will be substituted a mixed train, running dally except Sunday, and passing Yorkvllle at about 5.15 p. m., and known as 166. NOTE AND COMMENT. Deposits continue to grow in all the banks of this locality. The deposits In both of the Yorkvllle banks are far In excess of what they were at this time last year. Next Monday is salesday for November and it is probably worth while to remark that it is the first November salesday of which are able to find any record on which there are no foreclosure sales to be made. The wagon loads of furniture that have been going out of Yorkvllle this fall have been a subject of frequent remark. We presume that the same condition is noticeable in surrounding markets. The significance of the situation is that people are In shape to make themselves comfortable. Deputy Sheriff Sandifer has been putting In the past few days serving the Jurymen recently drawn for the approaching term of the court. The work has taken him over the greater part of the county. He says that cotton is pretty well ail picked, there ber ing less thaw ten per cent in his Judgment,. still iq. the fields. The rain of the past few days is general, and Mr. Sandifer testifies that it is about the "wettest rain" he has experienced for quite a while.; . : In looking over the files or the uinqutrbr a few days ago, the reporter ran across a note that might be of Interest to those who have recently become cognizant of the tin excitement In Gaffney and King's Mountain. The note was printed In 1884 and tells of the first discovery of tin near King's Mountain. In a collection of mineral specimens sent to Boston, it is stated there were some heavy black crystals, marked "unknown." These remained unidentified until a metalurgist, after long delay, said they were tin, and assayed about 75 per cent pure metal. The note went on to say that a shaft was being sunk on the premises of Capt. W. T. R. Bell. It would appear, therefore that the discovery of tin Is not quite so recent as many have supposed.

F. D. No. 1. Mail service is to be commenced on Filbert R. F. D. No. 1, on November 15, with Mr. William A. Carroll, as carrier. This route, which was surveyed and adopted some weeks ago, goes from Filbert to Mr. A. J. Parrott's thence to John L. Jackson's, thence across Allison creek to W. D.

Southern's Bridge Over the Catawba. Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: A force of hands is now engaged in preparing to erect a new steel bridge over the Catawba river between Rock Hill and Fort Mill. There have been rumors for a long time that the present bridge is very unsafe, and it has been said the structure was condemned as long as two years ago, but inquiry shows this to be untrue. The bridge is a good one, but it was erected before the Introduction of the great locomotives now in use, and it is consequently considered to be too light. The new bridge will be put in by the Phoenix Bridge company, of Philadelphia, and will be a much heavier structure than that now in use. There are already on the grounds several hoisting engines, derricks, great quantities of bolts,. wire rope, hemp rope, etc. The bridge now in use was erected some 18 or 20 years ago, and It supplanted an old structure that had been put in after the destruction of the bridge by- Stoneman's cavalry in 1865, and it was lighter than the present bridge.
