Visiting z Bridge.

Yesterday the county commissioners
went to visi: the site OF tho bridge at the
mouth Of the Pcquca, which had been
taken away by the ice. They found the
abutmcnts very much damaged, and think
that in the future they should be bullt
higher to prevent IL recurrence Of tho
washing. The commissioners think that
it was bad policy to have built the bridge
below the dam, about 200 yards up the
creek. They would like to change the site
of the bridge in rebuilding it, but will not
on acc"un, OF the road leading to it which
would have to be changed, and that would
create much labor and expense. A large
quantity of the lumber was founl to be in
good condition, 50 that it can be used
again.

The anti-six-cent passenger car fare
agitation has been resumed in Philadel-
phia. It should 60 on until the neces.
sary reform be effected. The passenger
railways make enormous profits. They
exist and run the streets by public tol-
erance, and although they are a great
convenience, they have no right to tax
the community beyond a reasonable
profit on their enterprise, seeing that
their franchises practically put them be-
yond the chances of competition.

The Great Railroad suif-summary Dis.
posal of the Contempt Matter.

SANTA FE, June 24th.-The great case of
the Texas Pacific vs. the Southern Pacific
was brought up for hearing to-day. As soon
as the counsel for the Southern Pacific COM
menced his opening, the attorney for the
Texas Pacific interrupted with suggestion
about the matter of contempt, about which
SO much had been printed in the Eastern and
Western press. Judge Bristol. before whom
the case is being heard, promptly answered
that he did not see what that had to do with
the merits of the case, and directed counsel
for defendant to proceed. 1t will hence be
seen that the alleged contempt, which has
worried the wires SO much of late, has been
disposed of in breath. The papers are now
being read, the defense being allowed the
opening aud close, and this attempt to steal
a railroad, even in this country, will meet
with signal disaster.
