The Bridge FiascO.

The building Of a new and more commo-
dious bridge on Houston street has turned out
to be complete 6asco, and there is smell Of
bribery and corruption about the matter that
deserves to be ventilated. We are not in pos
session of the detailed facts. blu. know enough
to say that the agent of the Atlanta Bridge
Co., tried to secure the adoption of his bridge
through very doubtful means, and the fact that
h. did not succeed is very creditable to the
city council, in fact it might appear from an
Investigation that he succeeded very poorly in
bribing any member Of that body. and it b.
ho,ves Capt. Story to clear his skirts Of the
suspicious that his violent opposi ion to the
report of the committee adverse to the Atlanta
Bridge Co.. was entirely free from personal
consideration" We believe the Captain has
championed the Atlanta Bridge Co. innocent

city engineer.

death of Eddy Cady. The statement
of the case was just as 1 got it from the
parents of the child. Further than
that 1 know nothing about the ease. I
only saw the child once while sick.
This correspondent, who proposes to
correct me, needs some little cOrrec-
tion. If tits who think it is, he ought
to understand the case and be familiar
with it. The relapse was owing to q
door being accidentally left open, let

Our friend, who was afraid To let his
name be known to the editor. was

have said the child's mother was dead
and been as near correct. 1t was not

SAD ACCIDENT.-On Sunday after
noon Mr.. Cheney King, son of John
+. King, of Ravenna, met with a sad
and fatal accident, ut Mantua Station.
The facts as we get them from our cor
respondent are as follows: For several
months past young King has been in
the employ of the n. Y. p. & o. r. r.
as brakeman. Owing to an accident
which occurred near Newburgh, a few
days since, all the men employed on a
certain freight train causing the acci-
dent, were suspended, among them
young King. A short time before the
calamity of Sunday, young King re-
ceived u dispatch from the Superin-
tendent of the Company, saying that
ne was reinstated, and ordering him to
return to Cleveland. At the time of
the accident a freight train passed
Mantua Station ut about the rate of 25
miles an hour. King was standing on
the platform at the depot, and desiring
to reach Cleveland as soon as possible,
undertook to board the train by jump.
ing OH the platform at the front end of
the caboose. Iu this attempt he fell
under the wheels of the caboose and
both of his legs were SO injured as to
necessitate amputation. We are in
formed that his injuries are fatal, and
that death is expected every hour.
Soon after the accident he was taken
to the Taylor house, where he is attend
ed by his many friends. Mr.. and Mrs.
A. s. Beecher are especially attentive
in relieving his sufferings, as he has
formerly been employed by them for
several years as a farm 1abOrer and to
whom he had endeared himself by his
faithful service.

Local Testing OF the Cream OF Tar.
tar Cure.

TAR CufGs
A few days since Mr.. d. l.. King.
through the columns of the Beacon.
gave an extract froma Liverpool paper
In which it was claimed that any case
OF smallpox could be cured in three
days by the simple remedy, cream of
tartar. A Beason reporter in conver-
satlon with gentleman from Pitts
burg Saturday was assured that the
cure above recommended was genuine,
as personal experience on his part
had but recently demonstrated.
The Pittsburg gentleman, who for
several years had been employed in
the Allen Mill in this city, previous to
his present engagement, said that he
had within the past few weeks slept
with friend who had smallpox, and
IN short time thereafter he also got
SICK. He at once procured one ounce
OF cream of tartar and put it into one
pint OF boiling water and when the
liquid was cold took four tablespoon
fuis Of the solution per day. The re-
sult,is said to have been surprising, for,
as our informant stated, numerous
small sores upon the body which had
been fostering for some time at once
healed up, and every symptom of that
dread disease, smallpox, Immediately
disappeared, leaving the person in the
enjoyment of better health than he
has had for long time. This is strong
corroborative evidence of what is
claimed in the clipping furnished by
Mr.. King, and should be borne in
mind by al.-Akron Beacon
