THE FORT SMELLING BRIDGE.
Why the Work Has Been So Badly De.


A~-A
l,yed.
Aregular meeting of the bridge commits
sion was held yesterday forenoon, Mayor
Dawson in the chair. Present-Messrs
Knaphlde, Lindeke and Cochran.
A communication was read from Super
visor Mahoney, of Bloomington, requesting
that the commission notify Mr.. Harmon az
to their intentions about visiting Blooming
ton.
The secretary reported that he had written
Messrs II. E. Horton g. 90. concerning the
completion of the iron work, in reply to
which they had answered that circumstances
would prevent the completion of their con-
tract by the time specified, September 1st
Mr.. Cochran also stated that he had met Mr.
Horton, who explained that the delay was
owing to the failure of the Keystone Bridge
company to furnish the iron as punctuall,
as possible, and that the contractors hao
been compelled to get supplies from that
company by the United States government
1t was further stated that the eighteen foo,
span had been erected and that the iron fol
the trestie work had been delivered en- the
grounds. It was explained that the engi-
neer had been instructed to furnish the
county attorney with description of GER
tain lands belonging to Franklin Steele
condemned for the right of way for the road
to TIE bridge.
The following important communication.
regarding the progress of the work on the
bridge, and the delays connected herewith,
was submitted by Engineer Sewall:
The time provided for the completion of the
superstructure of the Fort Smelling bridge has
nearly arrived, and scarcely any apparent pro-
gress has been made in the work.
The scaffoidins required for two spans of the
viaduct has been erected, that for the first
main span nearly completed, and piles driven
foi the scaffolding for the centre span. A
beginning has just been made of setting up
the trestle parts for one of the viaduct PIERS
The cause of the delay is the non delivery of
the iron work from the shop of the Key tone
Bridge comoany, at Pittsburgh, where it is
bei' manufactured. The contractor was re-
quired to have the work made at some well
known establishment, approved by the
enpiueer, and by the United States engineer,

AS I have been reliably informed
that Mcssrs. Bonnie 4 Co. have ut diff

Binder. l will say that they never
offered or intimated to me that they
wanted to bet $lO0 or any other sum

have made the above statements, l
wish to inform them that have this

can put up their 800 and as much
more as they wish. Wewill then eacl,

supposed the Woods Binder was dead !,

to speak Of the dead, but the agent
seems to think it is still alive, as he
stated quite recently that he was very

Drowning Accidc ntx.

just as we had gone to press last
week the sad intelligence reached us
that Frank, third son of Fl. Engel,
aged years the Goth of last May, had
been drowned in the Minnesota river,
and the arrival of the corpse at the
grief-stricken home a few minutes
thereafter proved the report to be too
true. Itappears that in company with
several other boys he had gone down
to the river to battle and was padding
around on plank when he fell off and,
being unable to swim, sank to the bot
tom. The cries of the other boys
quickly brought Mr.. Fir. Keller upon
the scene, but although he acted with
promptness, life was already extinct
when he brought the boy to the sur
face. This is the first. death that has
occurred in this vicinity by drowning
for Il Number of years. The bereaved
family have the sympathy of the COM
munity in this their sorry affection.
We also learn from Isaac johnson
and w. B. Munsell, of Lone Tree
Lake, that Geo. Hallecker, aged Ia
years, was drowned in, the Minnesota
river at that place last Wednesday at
ternoon while bathing with seven or
eight other youDg,lads. J. Jones, aged
Is years, who tried to rescue eHalleck-
er, came very near meeting 4 similar
fate. The body of Hallecker was
found on Thursday some 30 feet below
where lie WIS drowned. The Halleck-
er family live on old man Lees place,
near the lake. ,

made for the shore and donning his
clothes he hurried to the house. Hard
ly had he reached the house when he
tainted, but was quickly brought to H.
gain by the use Of cold water restora-
tives. He soon thereafter went into a
second swoon and when DR.. Berry,
who had been sent for, arrived, he lay
in complete cOmatOse condition, and
four persons rubbed his limbs and body
for two hot before circulation of the
blood was restored. He now lies in 4
precarious condition but the doctor
thinks that he will be able to bring
him around all right. Mr.. Baumgert-

room for two or three months as it

Burglary.

Last week we noticed the theft Of
Mr.. Aug. Quense' s saddle, but since.
then they have gone for larger game
and the following night, Tuesday, Har-
nv LaudenschlBger's store was the
scene of bold-faced burglary. The
thieves gained an entrance to the store
through a window in the rear of the
store, having pried away the laths
which hold up the upper sash. Un-
luckily for Mr.. Laudenschlager he had
left the safe that night unlocked and
the thieves gained an easy access to
the drawers therein by cutting away
the wooden partition between the
drawers with q pocket knife. 1t ap-
pears, however, that one OF them cut
his hand in the operation as consider
able blood was found on the floor. The
booty secured was about $4,000, all the
money in the safe, a razor and about a
dozen pocket knives. The tin cash
box and one Of the wooden drawers,
containing notes and other valuable
papers, were found in the garden in
the rear of the store the next morning,
evidently having been examined and
then abandoned. The window had al.
SO been properly replaced after their
exit. No clue to the robbers has as
yet been found and we are inclined to
think there never will. -
