UNUSUALLY Coon NEws.-We understand
that the ball has at last been set in motion,
whose little revolutions are to result in the
construction of splendid railroad and wa
Eoa bridge across the Mississippi, at this
point, and in the expenditure Of million
dollars in Rock Island and it's envirous. 1t
Is stated on good authority that the proprie.
| tors OF the stone quarries at Quincy, Nan.
yoo Joliet, and other points have been in.
yited to forward bids TO the head q uarters of
Gen. Rodman, for the furnishing Of stone,
and the building Of the piers and abutments
of the new bridge. As sn evidence thatthe
enterprise is to be pushed forward with the
utmost celebrity commendabla with thorough
workmanship, no proposals are to he con.
sidered which do not bind the contractors to
have the piers and abutments completed by
the first day of the coming October. It is
SAID that Gen. Rodman has had the plan Of
the bridge under consideration At Washing.
t0u where he has been in consultation with
the Var Department for weeks past. He
will return about the first of April, as we
stated some time ago, and it is thought that
be will then be prepared to received propo.

Tar NEW MAYOR oF JoLET.--Ilon. VIM.
A. Steel Iof the firm Of Sanger a Steel
who furnish the rock for the Arsenal at this
place. has just been elected mayor Of Joliet
by very large majority, aud his excellent
inaugural address Is published in the SigaaI
of this week. Mr.. Steel has for some years
been member Of the democratic state
committee, and, last fall, was a candidate
for the legislature, in strong republican
district, with no possible hope Of an cleo
tion--yet he ran several hundred votes ahead
Of his ticket. He is president Of the VIII
County Agricultural Society, and president
Of the Joliet Library Association, and his
triumphant election as mayor Of the city is
good evidence Of the high estimate the PEG.
pie Of that cnterprising city place upon his
services. lie is, ike our Mayor Buiord, a
representative Of the young aud progressive
men, and we doubt not that his aiministra.
ton will reflect credit upon the city.
