Another feature is the system o' drains which provide for the discharge of all moisture which may gather in the structure. These drains are so provided that all water which may bo absorbed by tho porous materials used in the bridge will be discharged before it has opportunity to act upon any of the vital parts. The concrete 'filling the interior o' the piers and arch ends is mixed with large boulders, which add greatly to Its stability. In many cases these boulders are so large that one man could not lift them, and when oner the cement has gained a grip on ths rough teeth of their exteriors they form an immovable anchor which no amount of Jar or strain can dislodge.

"Is it possible, MaJ. Donnell," Jus-ticc Pierce i began, addressing tho deputy Distr(ct Attorney, who had charge of the case against Dr. Watson, "for you to present stronger legal evidence against this defendant?" MaJ. Donnell stated that the evidence had been exhausted.

Then he added "I have searched authorities to find if evidence of other abortions procured during the drying process. Under each arch twelve upright timbers, 12x 12 inches, support the weight. The chapters are 10x12 inches, and Joists, inches, set ono foot apart, support the sheathing upon which tho concrete Is laid. Even these great supports were none too heavy. Keeping the wet concrete absolutely level was not easy.

NEW POLE SCHEME. In providing for the trolley poles, the contractors worked out an entirely new scheme, which will, it is thought, be a great improvement over the old method. It has been the custom in concrete bridges to Insert metal poles in the green concrete. When tha substance hardens, the poles are firmly imbedded, and as long as they are in good condition are very satls- by this defendant would be admitted in this case, but I can find no authority for it. Such testimony has been held competent in other crimes, but not in this." Justice Pierce fixed his gaze grimly A Whole Acre of Land world.

It will cost approximately The task which faced tho engineers In doBlgning the bridge was a great one. Xot only is the channel of the San Gabriel Hi'ver. which It spans, exceptionally wide where the structure stands, but the current during the winter and spring floods sweeps along with mighty force, and enormous tensile strength is required to withstand the pressure of the waters. Last Christmas, when the work was begun, the floods were at their height, and engineers pronounced the undertaking at that time well-nigh hopeless. George E.

Pillsbu-y. chief engineer of the Pacific Electric, determined to have the work started at once, however, and drew the plans accordingly. The northern and southern approaches were first completed, after which the whole current of the, river was turned from its course and diverted into a new channel near the northern bank. This left the center of tho river bed dry. and made it possible to sink the gigantic Hers which support the concrete pile.

EIGHTEEN LONG SPAN'S. The bridge is divided Into eighteen spans, each fifty -seven feet long over all. These spans hang fifty feet in the Clear, and are sujjported at either end by piers sunk Into the bed of tho river. There are seventeen of these piers, each twelve feet thick and thirty feet wide at the bottom, and seven feet thick, and twenty-six feet wide at the top. They are nineteen feet long, and sunk to a depth of fifteen feet, where they rest upon a foundation of solid granite.

At. the highest point there is but four feet in the clear above the river bed, but the arch is sufficient to allow the passagd of any body of water which may come down the channel, according to the figuring of the designing engineer. The extreme wlth of the bridge from Unlimited Free Water $20 Will Secure It And the Income Makes the Payments Only 20 Minutes From the Huntington Building tactory. une lover ends are Inclined to rot, however, and considerable Wouble then results owing to the practical impossibility of digging them out. In the now bridge, slots have been left which will hold wooden poles of the ordinary pattern.

These poles can be firmly wedged in place, and yet when It is found necessary to move them, they can be easily taken out. This innovation will, it is claimed, lighten the work of tho linemen greatly. In digging out the suhd to allow the placing of the piers, the workmen found the tnormous boulders imbedded In the river bottom a great hindrance. In iusny cases it was necessary to shatter thi rocks before they could bo moved, as tho rough ground would not allow of the use of horses. The bridge was designed by George E.

"May 28 a young girl, aged about 19, who was known to be pregnant, went to the defendant to consult him. She had complained of cramps, but was able to go to the office on a street car. "She was in his private office about thirty minutes, and came out very pale.

She was too weak to go back on a car, and a cab had to be called to take her home. She never left that home alive. "Before her death she tried to sign a statement, prepared by the physicians attending her, after It had been read to her: 'Realizing that I am about to die, I certify that an abortion was to be performed, and was performed on me by Dr. C.

P. She became too weak to finish her signature. "The testimony of the autopsy surgeon tends to establish the fact that a criminal operation was performed, and the court is satisfied that a dastard 1 ycrime was committed. This is a rare opportunity for people in moderate circumstances to secure a home of, their own where the income will make the payments and more. The soil at Belle Vernon is fine sandy garden loam.

The water is free and in greater abundance than ever can be used, gushing up spontaneously from artesian wells. BerrieB, vegetables and poultry supply the table and make the payments besides.

This allows the laying of a double track the entire kngtli, with plenty of space between. The supporting strength of the structure is enormous and will withstand any load that can be placed upon it. It is claimed by the designer that the heaviest train in the world can pass over with perfect safety and without taxing the bridg3 to anything like its capacity. In building bridge 8000 cubic yards of concrete was used, and 10,000 barrels of cement required. Every barrel of cement was subjected to the most exacting tests, so that there might be no danger of an unsuspected flaw in the compleetd structure.

The construction is jf the reinforced concrete type. Two hundred and fifty tons of steel were used in the reenforcement. The reinforcements are entirely in the form of steel rods varying from one-half to one and a half Inches, according to the strain likely to fall upon them. There are sixty one-inch rods set in pairs longitudinally through each span. These rods are placed at Intervals of ten lnchej.

one on top of the other. The upper rod Is tied to the corresponding rod of the next epan, while the lower is bent and sunk into th concrete at the base of the euDrrting pier. DIVIDING THE STRAIN. The arrangement of the step! supports divides the strain of each span. The pull of tho upper rod is upon the statuses in regard to dying statements, that the person "must be without hope of recovery," Justice Pierce expressed his disapproval.
