NIAGAllA'S NEW BRIDGE.
A Structure to Re Erected nt Illfitorlo
( luf nnton IlelKlitN.
From the materials which comprised the
old suspension bridge at Niagara Falls ,
wlilch has recently given way to a larger
and more pretentious span structure , an
other bridge will be ° reared over the same
stream some distance below.
The towers and approaches of the new
bridge , says 'the Philadelphia Record , have
been completed and all Is ready Tor the
stringing of the cables and the erection of
the Iron. The site will be on the spot near
the village of Lowlston , N. Y. , and the
quaint old town of Queenston , Out. , where
In 1850-51 a suspension bridge was built to
connect the Lewlston mountain with , the
historic Queenston Heights , into the soil of
which the blood of the brave Canadian , Gen
eral Brock , soaked when ho fell mortally
wounded. The old bridge was many years
ahead of the profitable demands of the times
and when It was destroyed It was never
afterward rebuilt.
In the matter of location tbo now urldgo
will adhere closely to the old brldee , From
tower to tower the span will ba a little over
1,000 feet , while the span of tbo suspended
portion of the bridge will be about " 00 feet ,
The outside width of the bridge will be
twenty-eight feet and the roadway will have
a width of twenty-five feet. Tbla width of
floor will afford room for a single trolley
car track laid through the center , with
space on either Bldo for teams to pass
abreast. In t'.ie construction of the lirldgo
about SOO tons of metal will be used and
the cables will weigh all ot 200 tons. The
strength of the bridge will be great enough
to afford eafe passage for the heaviest of
electric cars in addition to a uniformly dis
tributed load of forty pounds to the square
foot over the whole structure.
The height of the DOW bridge above the
water will bo about seventy fcot and Hioao
familiar with the former will recognize that
this Is quite a different condition from the
bridges that made- the Niagara gorge famous
for Its display of engineering talent. Tbo
old bridges were built on a line with the
tops of tbo cliffs , whereas the new bridge
will swing midway between the tops of tbo
banks and the waters of tbe river. This
baa necessitated tbe construction of long approaches
preaches on either side tr > afford facilities
for trolley cars nnd carriages reaching the
bridge , The electric lines now operating at
the water's edge on tbe New York sldo and
on top of tbe bluff on tbo Canadian side will
make connection wltb tbo bridge , An elec
tric road now runs acroes tbe upper steel
arch of tbo falls and there remains but a
final < llnk to be provided for before it will
be possible to make the trip about thfr gorge
in a trolley car and -thus still more effec
tively relegate the Niagara hackman to a
rear seat , The bridge will bo completed and
opened for next summer's travel to the falls.
The wrecking of tbe old trldgo forms one
of the Important events In tbo history ol
tbe Niagara region , Early In the year ISO
a mighty moss of Ice came down the Ni
agara river from Lake Erie , Tbe flea ue
it passed down ihe upper river and over the
falls commanded much attention and the
owners of tbo bridge at Lowlatou were fear
ful for the cafety of their structure , for the
guys were anchored Just above blgh-watei

Tlil wan done. The let- Jam went out and
no dnmftRa wai done. The Riiy were not

the brldRO full on the eldc nnd soon It wai

on the morning ot Monday , February 1 , ISCl' ,
It gave A mighty surge nnd thru the greater
part ot the bridge proper fell Into the river
below , It was n complete wreck. There-
wn * no encouragement to rebuild , tlnck and
forth the old cables swunK for XMtri , until
* l Inst they were cut away and allowed to
plunge Into the rher , where , Ihltty-four
years before , the other portions ot Hi * strua-

only recall the case ot one man genius
anay with that kind or A proposition and he
WAS oil the level and made ; ocxl afterwards.
This nun \vn Uyron McGregor , who , back
In the swirling days of Colorado , inn the
sttellest establishment for money-hnznrdlng
purposes In Denver. McGregor was a finely
educated and polished limn Ami he was In a
game with three of the roost prominent
citizens In Denver , ono of whom afterward
became a United States senator no , not
Ed Wolcott ; another man. The game wan
served out in the private parlor of ono of
the players and I was one of half a dozen
witnesses of It There wasn't a high-grade
man with n liking tor draw poker out that
way who wasn't content to nit Into a game
In which Byron McGregor was one of the
pUycrs. All in all , McGregor was about
the most perfectly honest man I ever mot
up with. He could beat any magician I
ever saw at card tricks , but when It caroo
to Inserting any of 'cm Into a legltlmato
game , McGregor wasn't there. Ho played
a magnificent game ot poker , of course , al
though be was often a big loser after long
bouts at lri\v wltb heavy-playing friends.
In this particular game McGregor wna
"way loser after the first couple of hours
nearly -$4,000 In the hole. He wasn't both
ered a. little bit over thle. for lie was a. thor
oughbred loser and besides the receipts
from bis rooms frequently netted him
| 8COO or (10,000 on nights ot lilg play at the
cases. But he didn't ' llko the way the sards
were running and ho finally pushed his
chair back , remarking :
" 'This isn't one of my nights. Make It a
triumvirate , you three. I think I'll stay
out. '
" 'Better hang on n bit , McGregor , ana
get some ot It back , BO you won't have to
