Pursuant TO notice, number Of citizen,
assembled at the Court House, on Wednes-
day evening last, to adyisew with the Directors
of the St. Paul Bridge Company as to the
best plan upon which to build bridge across
the River. B. F. Hoyt, ESQ., was called to
preside and G. W. Armstrong appointed
Secretary.
MI. Marshall, the President of the Bridge
Company, explained the object of the meet
iqg, which was to ascertain whether suffici-
ent stock could be obtained to build high
bridge. 1t was in contemplation of the Di-
rectors to build a draw bridge, but they
were willing to defer to the wishes of the
people, and build high one, if sufficient SUBJ
scriptions could be obtained to enable them
to do so. The estimated cost of low bridge
is about $50 900, that Of a high bridge about
$4,000.
Remarks were made by Mr.. Marshall. Col.
Robertson, Mr.. Brown and others, and com
mittees were appointed to canvass tho city
to ascertain how much stock could be OBJ
tanned to build high bridge.
The meeting then adjourned until Satur-
day evening next

Fremont HOUSE, Topeka, }
May Ia, 1856. {

To the Editor of the Missouri Democrat:
Two young men, but just arrived from II
linois, were taken prisoners by the Marshal's
posse, near Lecompton, and held as such till
they both promised to leave the State and
never return. On getting from these young
men such promise, the Marshal's regulators
allowed them to leave the camp, with the
understanding that if they were ever taken
prisoners again by them they must suffer
death.
Another letter, dated May 10th, has the
following:
THE SHOOTING OF YOUNG JONES.
I am cognizant of facts relative to the MUIR
der of the boy Jones, which probably will
not reach you so soon from any otherquarter.
On the Monday previous to the attack on
Lawrence, he was proceeding on horseback
about two miles from Wakarusa, when he
met five or six men who ordered him to stop
and deliver up his arms. He replied, "All
the arms have is that little pistol" which
him for the horse he rode, which be refused
ent on himself and his team for support. He
then started on, and was called to by the
captain of the band, who threatened to shoot
uIu IL Culs uc pdIu III dttcuttoit. 1c was
then fired upon and shot through the back,
the ball lodging in the abdomen. This took
place about noon. He died at II O'Clock
that night.
THE DEATH OF STUART.
On the afternoon of that day, party OF
five started from Lawrence to see young
Jones. On their way they We're met by two
pro-slavery men from Lecompton going to
Franklin. They were commanded to halt
and turn back. This they refused to do,
saying they were determined to see young
Jones, who was shot en- the Wakarusa.'"-
On attempting to pursue their course, the
two men raised their rifles TO fire. The
rifles snapped. Instantly the Lawrence
party drew up their rifles which also snapped
One of the two then made second attempt
to discharge his piece, which proved too sue
cessful. A young man by The name o,
Stuart, from Buffalo. N. Y, and Clerk Of ths
Free Topeka Legislature, fell mortally wound
ed. The ball struck him in the left eye anc
passed entirely through the head scattering
i fragments of the skull over the road. Onl
of the Lawrence party then fired revolver
the ball of which struck the man that hat
shot Stuart in the hand. He dropped hi

THE NE,SsOTIAN.
Tho Bridge Quesiisn-Shan we have Lew o.
High Bridge?

Z hten Hrt3goy
We invite especial attention to the pro
cecdings of the Bridge meeting held in from,
OF the Court House on Wednesday evening
The Bridge Company have determined tc
build bridge at the foot of Wahasha street
they have as yet been unable to procure suf-
ficent stock to build high bridge, reaching
from bluff to bluff-one which will require
no "draw" to allow steamboats, to pass
from one portion of the city to the other, or
above the city. But they haue the stock
subscribed to build low bridge, with a
draw in the centre OF it, and the company is
composed of men who will accomplish the
work at the earliest day possible. The in
vestment is too good one to allow the work
to be delayed in the hands of enterprising
and shrewd men, such as compose the
Bridge Company.
1t is the desire of the members of the
Company, however, to have subscriptions to
their stock increased to an extent that will
enable the directors to contract forthwith
for the building of high bridge. The sum
required will be about $4,000 in addition
TO what has been already subscribed. The
property holders and business men of st.
Paul are abundantly able to make up this
sum. There is not man in the city who
sells goods or wares Of any kind, or who
owns property, that does not know tie i'm
portance of connecting the West side of the
Mississippi with St. Paul by a magnificent
bridge, reaching from the high lands on
either side of the river. Aside from this,
the investment will pay largely as soon as
the bridge is completed. Twenty teams
and fifty foot passengers would cross our
bridge per day to where there is one of
either crossing the bridge at St. Anthony,
and yet the St. Anthony investment is pay
ing at the rate of forty per cent.
A committee of careful and discreet bust
ness citizens is now canvassing the city and
Dakota county for subscriptions to the cap
ital stock, and will report to the adjourned
meeting on tomorrow evening. 1t is for
those most interested to say whether low
bridge-whch we candidly believe will ma
terially obstruct navigation-shall be built,
or a high and beautiful structure be made to
span the river, which will prove an orna-
mert to the city monument to her enter
prise source of great additional value to
her property and business, and an immense
percentage to the pockets Of those who invest
in the stock.
