Pittsburg Convention Backs 400 Foot Bridge Span
The Pittsburg Convention resolved in favor of a four hundred foot span to prevent navigation obstruction on the Ohio River and appointed a committee to present the resolution to Congress. Congressional action is expected to favor a uniform span of at least four hundred feet as suggested to Mr LeErx of the Ohio House. The current bill, likely to fail, would ban bridges with central spans under five hundred feet and misses other essential provisions for the statutes.

Born October 2, 1816, he leads the Portuguese army as Marshal General and held the title King of Portugal since 1837. If Fripriano ascends, a unified peninsula under hereditary rule seems possible, aided by dynastic alliances and French intrigue.
