The new bridge Is designed to carry double tracks and Its great strength will allow of much heavier locomotives than have been run over the old bridge. The Increased , height will also give a much better grade at that point of the line. WOMEN BATTLE WITH THIEF THEY TRAPPED. before going further with the plan ot capitalizing her misfortunes.
