Some thirteen years since, one Henry Wit
kouski, living in the suburbs of Warsaw, Pc.
land, deserted his wife and two infant chill
dren, and came to this country, taking up his
residence at first in New York City, and pro
ceeding then to St. Louis. In the course of a
year or two the wife had collected enough
money to bring herself and her children TO
the New World, in pursuit of the faithless
one. Arriving at New York she heard that
he had gone to st. Louis, to which place she
Immediately proceeded. There she Was una
BILE to learn anything more of him, he having
left. She waited for year or two, trying to
discover his whereabouts, without success
Then, believing that he must be dead, she
decided upon marrying second time, and
did SOL after obtaining a divorce. In COM
pany with her husband, Jacob Franklin, she
then came to this city to live, bringing with
her the two children before mentioned Not
long since she discovered that the husband,
whom she had supposed dead, was living in
this city, having married very pretty young
German woman. Quite recently her two
children, VINO had been away in the Northern
part of the State, failed to return ct the APP
pointed time, and her second husband imme-
diately swore out warrant against Witkous-
XII, charging him with child steaAng-steal-
ing his own children. All the parties inter
ested made their appearance in the Police
Court, yesterday, when Franklin was sur
prised and confused at receiving from Dayton
q telegram stating that the children were
there IN safety.-Cin. Commercial.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION.

Mr.. EDWARD kILBouRNE. of this city, has
received q letter from his brother, written
from Washington, May oath, in relation to
the bridge matter. As the subject is Of i'm
portance to our citizens we extract as fol-
lows:
81 stay over until to- morrow morning to go
before the Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, to which the bridge Bill in the
House was referred. There is delegation
here from the St. Louis Chamber of Com
merce to oppose the passage of any law for
'pontoon bridges, as they call them. That is
to say bridges on piers with draw. They
insist on bridges without draws and to be
built so that the lower chord shall be fifty
feet above high water mark. Gov. Woop, OF
Quincy, is here, aided by BRowsISG and
other, advocating draw bridges. The St.
Louis gentlemen probably think that if they
can carry their measure there will be no
bridges built above St. Louis after this
In a subsequent letter he says: II was
before the committee this morning from TO- to
12 O clock A. NJ. DAN ABEL Land Eve or six
others were present. 1t was arranged that
| they should first speak and that our side
should close. After they were through
made the best talk was able and satisfactori-
| " to the committee, / think, refnted many
of their statements, some of which were per-
| fectly ridiculous "BRowSISG followed and
closed with speech of about thirty minutes.
He used up their arguments, | think, pretty
essentially. He showed conclusively tina,
| this opposition all came from the steamboat
/ men of St Louis, who wanted monopoly Of
the navigation. He stated that navigation
above St. Louis was open about eight months
| in the year and in consequence of that and
the fear Of the steamboatmen, they might
occasionally have to wait short time for 9
draw to open. They would shut out the grea
railroad interest for twelve months in yeal
from crossing except by boats; and par
! of the time from crossing at all on &C
l count Of the ice. He urged the committee
to consider it in view of the commerce of the
whole country and not to meet the views o
the steamboat monopolists of ST. Lpuis.
Mr.. MELBOURNE expressed his opinion tina
the bill permitting draw bridges will be sane
toned by the committee. 1t certainly shoult
be- There should be no monopoly either b,
railroad or steamboat lines. No policy Shout,
be adopted lettering the facilities for transi
by land or water travel-routes. There
much identity between our interests and thos
:, of St. Louis; but we ask of that city that, b
no narrow exclusveness, by no local jealous
cies, or spirit of monopoly. she attempt II
wrong the cities and sections above her OIL
the river. Let St. Louis build such bridge
as she can, and let each of the cities aboy,
her have the same privilege The wants o
| the public, not of one municipality, ever
though that be st. Louis, should contro
