Blair Republican- The last of this
week will see two spans of the bridge nearly
completed. The trestle work 'on the east
side is nearly all up and with no mishap
trains will be crosing on or before Novem
ber. The rip-rap on this side has been
strengthened with thousands of carloads of
rock and brush and now presents a contin-
Tious line of impregnable front to tlfc river
which looks able to withstand the highest
water. The sinking of the embank
ment into the earth still continues ,
and the povel mound which
rose below has attained an altitude of fifteen
feet , we should judge. For sis weeks car
loads of earth have been tumbled into the
depression , and still the earth swallows it
up. Some express Iho opinion that it must
go down J.O the bedrock of the river. A
well is now being sunk to determine tbo
character of the soil and the progress of the )
,
work.
Cedar Rapids has not carpenters
enough to do the work.

due her , and at the same time

< elf , holding that in point of law it is equlv-
ileat to the marriage having been consum
mated. The affair Is openly pronounced a
