Mr, Wm- L. Royall has decided
not lo deliver his lecture "On
the battle of Gett,v8burg"during
the Confederate reo aion "
. In a letter he says:
"I had proposed to deliver my
lector.; on "the battle of Gettys
burg" during the coming reun
ion ot confederate veteran at
.Richmond I have however be
come rtware that the criticism iu
that lecture of certain eminent
confederate lia1prn!liad created
an anxiety in the minds of sonic
of our devoted Southerners that
uch a lecture might, be coustru
ed as a breach of that whole-sou
ed and universal hoxpitnlity
which 1s the prevailing spirit ' o:
the people of Virginia, and espec
ially of the city of Richmond, in
welcoming to' our borders the
valiant defenders of our homes
and friends.' 1 -
'Without in any wav changing
my opinion as to the histoiica
truth of the statements I hav
made, I shall not present them
at a time when they might bed is
tastciol to any -confederate guest
of the city of Richmond."
A Marble Bridge
. The new bridge to be 'erect-
d over the Tennessee rjver
at Knoxville, Tenn.. while
not to be of unusual size, wil
bet the engineer saj 8, a won
der in the engineering and
architectural world.' It is to
be built entirely of pink inar-
ile quarried in Knox county
and within a few miles of "the
oite. It will be 1,600 leel
tong from "out to out" o
abutments and will bo 240
feet long in the main spans
of arch, which, it is claimed,
is 20 feet longer than th
Imigest arch in the world.
It will ri&e at the crown of
the channel spans J 05 feet
above the water, making it
a decidedly imposing struc
ture. It la to be n solid mar
ble bridge from side to side,
with a 50 foot roadway 100
feet above water, with the
lour largest cpans in the
world. The immense arches
will be 8 feet deep at the key
stone. 15 feet at the skew
backs or spring lines, and
will spring from piers 30 feet
high and 40 feet wide. The
piers gD to solid rock, the
aubstrwture limestone. 12
feet below the water surface
at the bridge site. Tbearch
8 and spandrel filling will be
constructed ot concrete.
Theparapot walls will be
constructed of sawed marble
s'abs, with heavy blo'ks on
pilasters everv 15 feet, pro
jecting above the wall proper
and giving- what might bo
called a semicatelhted effect.
