THE NEW BRIDGE
Over the Back River Talked OF, but Not
Resolved on.

AthutNtu phs
Recently an INTELLlGRScRR reporter
heard a ,rumor that the Wheeling & Bel.
mont Bridge Company was coutemp plating
the erection OF a new iron bridge in place
OF the present antiquated wooden structure
over the Back river. lie feared the news
was "too good 10 be true" but yesterday
interviewed Superintendent Lawson on the
subject. That gentleman said the company
had ordered new sheet iron roof put on
the present wooden bridge at q cost OF
s. 900, and the work bad already been
commenced by n. A. Haldeman & Co., OF
this city. "Does that look like new
bridget" he asked.
In answer to further inquiries, he said
the company had recently investigated the
cost OF q new and handsome iron bridge
over the BACK river, and had thought OF
substituting one for the old wooden bridge.
but had abandoned the Idea on account OF
the cost, bridge such as the company
would like to build costing $4,000 or SS0,.
900.
"Do not be surprised, though" said Mr.
Lawson, "if you hear Of lis putting light
modern bridge over the river from the
upper end of tho Island 10 Martins Ferry,
That's scheme we hive talked OF, and
think there's more In II than in replacing
the Bridgeport bridge with new One. II
would improve property on the North end
OF the Island, make Martins Ferry and
Wheeling next door neighbors, and take
most OF the travel between the two places,
especially ifa street railway were run up

Nrw ORLEANS, June 13-The City Coun.
Gil decided tonight to fix the tsx leuy for
the current year at twenty mills on the
dollar. The ordinance will be signed in
the morning. This action was taken TO
prevent Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines from col.
lecting her judgment Of nearly two millions
against the city before the case can be
decided on appeal by the Supreme Cour :.
The city was not able to procure the neces.
sary suspension appeal bonds Of nearly
three millions, and was, therefore, com.
PEELED to take deuslutive appeal, under the
operations OF which there is no sus.
pension Of the judgment in the Low
or Court during the pendency OF the
suit in the Appellate Court at Washington.
There Is no doubt that the Councils action
will have the effect intended. Twenty
mills will meet all obligations except the
Gaines claims.

CoLoRED CITIZENS COMPLAINTS.
Tue Terrible Condition In which They
Claim Their schooI House 10 be.

As announced in yesterdays issue, a
meeting Of Colored citizens was held last
night in Simpson NJ. Z. Church to discuss
the question Of better public school iacili.
ties, and take steps looking to memorable.
ing the Board Of Education on the subject,
The information that this movement
originated with Prof. Jones, Principal OF
the colored schools, was incorrect. While
not Indifferent 10 the situation, he istaking
no active part in the agitation, wisely
dceming 1t proper that such movement
should come from the colored citizsns who
are patrons oi the schools. The subject
has been upperlnost in the minds Of the
leading colored men for some time, and
last week It was decided to memoriAliSs
the Board OF Education In the matter.
Rev. Robert Hilyard, pastor Of Simpson
Chapel, presided over last nights meeting.
The attendance was not large, but those
who were there showed that they were
in earnest. II was resolved to
present a petition for new school house to
the Board at It's next meeting. Remarks |
were made by Messrs. g. W. Hol.
linger, II. i. Clemens and others, in which |
It trAuspired that the specific complaints |
are that the plesent hchool building ls /
damp and lily ventilated, and that tho re.
suit has boon seen In TIM prevalence among |
he colored school children Of diseases |
lrisiRg from this state OF Affairs; that It Is
dangerous, the second.story floor being
,ntirely inadequate for the support OF the
lumber Of children who occupy that part
II the house; that the rooms are so small
hat there is not seating capacity for nearly
IL the pupils, especially in the lower dc.
that in wet or cold weather the
iouse is almost inaccessible, and that the
,uildisg was condemned as school house
more than score Of years ago, and is now,
IS ono OF the Speakers expressed 1t, "a
irritable death trap" .
This certainly makes strong case, and
he petition is entitled to weighty considera.
ion and full investigation with view To
hat action which ID in accordance with
uEiice to the race.
