Adams n Lucas to await the beginning
of the sale of tickets for the Barry SuIIl-
van entertainments. At Q o'clock the

than six tickets, Notwithstanding there
are still some good seats left. During the
morning two unsophlsticated Germans
sauntered quietly in and inquired
when the auction wOuli commence,
but upon being informed that it was not
n sale of goods and chattles, he said "ish
dat so" and moved away and left the

The Bridge Company vs.. The LEAD
e,"-Further Information I'm The
Matter.

Matter.
Editors of the Register.
WHEELING, February IL.
The Belmont Bridge Company has a
hard row to hoe, through the misrepre'
sensations of its maligners. A few lacts
in the premises may be of some interest
to the public and may enlighten those
who wish tn see The suspension bridge
was built over25 years ago, when there
we're scarcely any buildings onthe Island.
1t was erected by private enterprise 10
fiji up the link of the great national
highway which at that time was the main
route of travel east and west. For ten
or twelve years after its construction II
never paid cent on the investment,
and as late as 1855 the stock sold for 70
per cent. on the dollar. 1t has been only
within the past Few years that any div
dends have been declared. The facts are:
that if the bridge had not been built
very few persons would have invested
their money in Island property and built
upon it; and then talk about the bridge
company being "a dead weight to the
prosperity of the Island"
Each family is charged six dollars per
annum whether it be large or small. Say
that each member makes one trip per
day, at an average of SIX persons to n
family, the cost of crossing the bridge
would not exceed one-iourth of cent, or
half cent for going and coming.
There seems to be some feeling mani
tested because the Bridge Company COM
pels the Street Car Company to pay for
every passenger who rides, no matter
whether he be an Island citizen or not.
This may seem unjust at first blush, to
make an Island citizen pay
twice, but when It is considered
that evey trip the street cars
make, it is wsar and tear to the bridge,
and some plan must be adopted to pay
for it, the charge for the luxury OF rid
ing will not seem so unreasonable. 1t
must also be remembered that no charge
is made for riding from the Island, ohly
to 1t, vet the cars and the horses con
tribute to the wear all the same.
Mr.. johnson should consider these
things, before he commences whole
sale abuse Of tho stockholders, without
right and without reason.

DEAR SIR-ThiS Is to show that my son

He had several doctors Of hign StandingI in
their profession-twO from Boston and
three from CharleStOwn- without getting "A
bit better. de was Obliged 10 lie wherever
he was placed. for he had no Use OF his
limbs whatever. When We had given M
all hopes Of his living we wer. told 10 try-
Eegetine, the great blood remedy: and h.
had taken II out short time before W..
could see great change. The sores run 80
bad that We had TO change the cloths four
or five times a day. still, ne was getting
better; for he could move his limbs and
help himself a little. He was soon able To
sit up in ted, and, by constant use OF Nege-
tine, IL has cured him. He has lame l.g
which he will probably have for life but
we all honestly believe ii We had used
Negetine before We had bothered with
those doctors. II would have saved the use
OF his leg. and restored IL 10 natural healin.
