The Winston correspondent of the Raleigh State Chronicle writes: Capt; Baldy Williams went up the C. F. & Y. V. road yesterday to-be present this week at Surry court. It is thought by a good many that when Brower was renominated, and the cam paign committee at Washington had handed him his campaign check, that we would hear no more of the split in the party in the Fifth' 'district; but such - does 'not seem to be the case. Far from it. -The colored voters are now under strict organization and being urged on by their race organ at Greensboro have planted their aati Brower banrier deep in the "soil and more do thev cherish the idea of teach- ing mm a iesson.inai 11c win remem ber. It -is their intention as far as vour writer can obtain information, of remaining in a strict organiza tion until election day, and then turn out in a body, go to the polls and there work to keep the colored voters from voting a ticket for Con gress.

Pittsburo, Pa., August 19. The span of the Ohio River railroad bridge was placed in position to-day, and the bridge is practically completed. This is the first time in the history ot sci ence that such a plan has been adopted. The massive structure was towed into the than rel on nine barges built for the occasion, and towed to the open ing between the piers. The new span of the bridge is the largest of the kind in the world. Its length is 523 feet. From the top cord of the truss work to the deck beams is 67 feet. As it rests upon the stone piers, its span is So feet clear above low1 water mark. The weight of the iron work in ; the structure is 1800 tons, 'and about 200 tons- of timber have been built into the false work or scaffolding which supported it in the air. The only one ever swung in this manner approaching the :size of this span is in Germany, over the Rhine. It is about 300 feet long. That over, the St. Lawrence was in the neighbor hood of 200 feet. The manner of swinging the huge bridge was intensely interesting, and was, viewed by thousands of persons. Many boats were chartered for the oc casion, and noted engineers from all the: world were present. The barges which transported the great weight of jron were sunk about five feet below thir empty" mark, by allowing then, to fill wit rr; water. The barges have a carrying capacity-of 600 tons each. The barges were drawnstraight out into the river by means of guy lines lashed to the bridge pier of the Alle ghany, shore. ' A- guy line was then passed from the Brunot Island pier to the engine oh the west end of the barge which rested parelbl to the" structural worjc and at right angles to the pier and other barges. " Other lines stead ied the mass on its perilous journey. When the structure was in the middle of the river the Brunot Island line was shortened, and the entire mass was slowly swung at an angle from the pier; The northern shore line was then shorteneel, and the span was brought up the river into position. The work could easily be likened to the shutting of ah immense door. The span, when brought into position, reste"d on. Take work; fifteen inches higher than the piers! At a given signal the plugs were withdrawn, and the barges slowly fill ed with water and sank, allowing the span 1 td sink withotit jar into .its final resting place. The Work was not com-' pleted until evening, but. the as sembled enginee. s pronounced it a suc cess in every particular ' -.' The bridge is 4557 feet long, anfj is the most important part of the Ohio River Connecting Railroad, which is 12,600 feet long, and which connects thePittsb'irg, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and Htisburg, Fort Way ne and Chica go sterns of the Pennsylvania lines west ... of Pitts urg. ,'.-v THE TRAINS. 11:02 A.
