bridge which spans the stream at the cross
ing of the Military road swaying, the tubu
lar piers being pushed out of place at either
end, and the strain plate, which receives
tha thrust of the, truss, threatening to slip
off and allow the structure to fall. Log

to the tubes and then an Investigation was I
made.

Interests will represent a total of 1132,000,
000 Snd the tonnage cloae to 2S.0OO.0OO tons.
A story Is current to the effect that the

It Is said ths Pennsylvania railroad has se
cured practical control In the Pittsburg
Coal company and this, with ths control
of the river coal combine through the Pitts
burg Coal company, will give the Pennsyl

total output of bituminous coal In the en
tire stats of Pennsylvsnla. As a railroad
by law Is not allowed to operate sny coal
mines the holdings will be transferred to
the Pittsburg Coal company, which will
