WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE spscial com.
mittee. consisting Of Messrs, Springer Gil
chairman, Van Alstyne IN. W and Stewart
(Vt), appointed 10 investigate the alleged
in the Ohio elections In October, held its first
public meeting this morning.
DIR. II. b. Bradford, q resident of Cincn-
matt, but temporarily residing IN Washington,
testified that he was in Cincinnati on the day
OF election and several days previously. He
overlooked riot in the Plum street district,
but was not near enough to know
good many pistol shots but did not
know from whom they emanated. he
heard persons say that decent people would
not go down to the polls in that district to
vote. He did not know whe her the deputy
marshals took part in the riot. He had
heard so, however. There were a great num-
Der Of persons in the city who were strangers
there. There were great many unemployed
negroes standing around the streets, and he
was told that they were Kentucky negroes.
Frank p. Morgon, q newspaper reporter OF
Washington, testified to being in Cincinnati
on election day. He remained nearly all day
near the United States marshal's Office. He
saw several men from Washington there act
ing as deputy marshals and wearing metal

paid them social call In the
evening and they produced bull
dog pistols, which were part Of their
equipments. They got their instructions
from Lot Wright first and were afterwards
drilled by Pension Detective Rathbone.
Rathbone, it was generally understood, had
charge Of the imported talent gentlemen who
had been summoned by the Republican
national committee to Cincinnati, as they
said, to see fair count. One Of the gen.
tlemen. whom he had named told him that
there had been 2,400 odd deputy marshals
appointed. Witness visited q voting precinct
In the Fourth ward and saw good deal OF
fighting. The deputy marshals appeared to
They were hard looking characters, and
seemed to be selected from the worst
classes. This seemed to be black

colored men there, who went around swing
ing pistols as . policeman would swing his
billy. The efforts of the deputy marshals
tended rather to break the peace than to
there had baen convention of colored Odd
Fellows in Cinninnat, and witness met o
prominent Georgia colored man named
Pledger, who told him that, while he was in
the city ostensibly to attend the convention,
his real object was TO carry the election.
In reply to question by Mr.. Van Alstyne
witness said he believed that 90 out Of every
hundred of these deputy marshals were
roughs. They looked dissipated and capable
of intimidating decent people.
Hiram 7. Doyle, who was present in Gin
cinnau on election day as correspondent OF
the Washington Sunday Herald, testified to
the bad appearance of the deputy msrshals.
He thought they kept great many respecta-
BILE men from the polls and their presence
gave rise to feeling of insecurity.

The fair and bazaar Of O Company, d. v.
NJ, in Institute Hall il receiving just such
generous support as so credltable an orgaDi-
cation merits, There has been very large
attendance during the three evenings OF the
fair and the boys are gathering in the ducats
,xped.tiously. Last evening the hail was
crowded until 10 o'oiock, and trad, which
u amount would be the envy of any local
merchant, was driven by the boys and tLeif
lad ASST tants. The gaily decorated booths
with their bright, rich colors make
picturesque enclosure for their
charming attendants whose demands for
cash and are simply irresistible and whose
feminine arguments for the good cause appa-
rently makes the surrender of the purse a
pleasure. The fair would be conspicuous, il
for no other reason, on account of the nu-
merous budding beauties who have enlisted
in the soldier cause, which is always dear
one to the feminine heart. The gallant SOL
diers in blue and brass impart military all
to the otherwise aesthetic affair. There is 8
variety Of valuable articles yet to be CHANGED
off, including pianos, a buggy, cunning skiff,
silverWare, watches, &c. The fair will con.
tinue the remainder of this week, and will
prove itself well worth visit by every one

of Discussing the advisability OF extend

called to order by 8. M. D0nnell, chair
man of the previous meeting. In defer
ence to Mr.. Donnell's wish he was
relieved of the ohAiImsnship and
Miller r. Barton elected TO his place.
After q few preliminaries the subject for
discussion came up, and elicited several
very earnest speeches pro and con. MIR.
Dean was there, Of course, and strenu-
ously opposed In his characteristic man
ner the motion OF MIR. Donnell, TO take
the property OF Mr.. Dean and the Dean
wooden mill iuto the town. He
thought the additional tax levied
upon him In that event would not be
proportionate to the benefit derived. A
lively discussion followed in which Mr..
Dean figured prominently and endesvored
to convince his hearers OF the injustice OF
the act. Subsequent remarks were made
by Joseph Dean, 8. M. Donnell, I.
g Williams and C. NJ Curtis, ending in the
appointment Of q committee OF ten intu-
entail land owners and oitiz sns to con-
cider the expedienoy Of extending said

between the United States and Nicaragua,
based on cabled summary Of the synopsis
Of the treaty printed in New York. The
writer says "The terms of the Nicaragua
treaty will excite profound Rmazement in
England and America. II the published
version Of its leading features is correct, it
will undoubtedly elicit distinct protest in
both countries as being in direct vio-
lation Of the Olayton-Bulwer treaty.
Indeed, it presents more dis
tinct violation of that instrument than
Mr.. Blaine ever contemplated. Americans
must not suppose that Englishmen will de-
preciate the treaty owing to any alarm at the
extension Of the American dominions or from
any mistruHt that the advantages gained will
be abused to the injury Of British trade; but
they cannot approve the example Afforded OF
one state purchasing the control Of such a
waterway for tbs personal advantage and not
as a trustee for the benefit of the world. The
summary cabled makes no mention Of any
provisions in the treaty with reference to the

To Rum Over the n. q r. Bridge
Across she BRandywhne.
The new bridge OF the Baltimore &
Philadelphia railroad across the Brandy
wine, In this city, wac crossed by o
locomotive snd train for the frat time
Monday afternoon. The engine WAS
No. 8, Of the Lsndenburg branch, and
the train consisted oftwo fiat cars heavily
laden with GROSS ties. Al Hughes was
conductor, Theodore Crossan engineer and
George Hendriokson fireman. AS the
train was about to start number Of men
climbed up on the CROSS ties and occupied
all the available room on the tender,
while two ladies, who were.bold enough to
make the trip, were assisted into the cab
OF the locomotive.
At AIS O'Clock the train started from
Lowering avenue, and after hating .
couple Of minutes on the brow Of the
hill, went on the bridge. Superintendent
Connell, who formerly run locomotive
on the Northern Pacific railroad, grssped
the throttle and kept charge Of the
engine during the trip. A large crowd
assembled in the vicinity to see the novel
journey.
Without q cresk or culver the
bridge stood she test, and when the other
side was reached those on the train gave
three hearty cheers for the new road,
while the whistle Of the hoistine engine
on the north bank soreeohed vigorously.
W. @. B. Colquhoun celebrated the
occasion by breaking a bottle OF extra
dry on the bridge, and also by opening .
dozen other bottles for the purpose Of
giving the daring voysgers an oppor-
tunity Of drinking TO the success Of the
new enterprise.
After wait Of five minutes 5uperin-
tendent Connell again took hold Of the
throttle, the train returned, and the
bridge was unanimously declared safe for
travel. II ia 1l6 feet above the waters
level, and from the bumper Of fiat car,
where the GAZETTE representative
was picturesquely perched, 1t seemed to
be half q mile high. Afterwards the two
cars OF cross ties were again taken over
and left on the north side, to be used In
laying the track. From this trip the
engine returned alone, at full speed. Con
atruo,ion trains will now run over the
bridge constantly, aud track laying will
be pushed on towards the Pennsylvania
line with all possible dispatch.
Among those who participated In this
novel and attractive trip were Supsrin.
tendent connell, Engineer Richardson
and Secretary Fsrra Of the railroad ;
Superintendent MaoLean, who supervised
the erection Of the bridge Contractor
Gillies, who built the structure; Foreman
Brown of the west yard; DR.. Palmer, W.
G. B. Colquhoun, Mrs. sColquhou1 and
Miss Lightner Of HArrisonville, Ohio.
Henry q. Porter secured an excellent
photograph Of the train as 1t passed over
the bridge.
As soon as the rails Of the new road
are laid across Delaware, which can BIZ
done in about 10 days time, the erection
Of the new station opposite the middle
depot, on Delaware avenue, will be
tartsd.

satisfactory tests.

:. Contractor Morrison, yesterday, in the
presence of the levy courts bridge commit
tee gave two tests Of the steam apparatus on
Market street bridge. They were made with
q steam pressure OF So pounds and proved
highly satisfactory. In the first test the
draw was turned off and on in two minutes
and So seconds and in the second trial in two
minutes and a half. From the bridge the
committee proceeded to the office Of Charles
Warner q Co., where the matter was discussed
and satisfaction expressed in regard to the
manner in which the machinery worked At the
meeting Of the levy court, on December SOth,
the committee will recommend that the appa.
ratus be accepted, and it is quite probable
that the recommendation will be Endorsed.
Contractor Morrison has placed along side Of
the boiler spigot from which he can draw
water cold, boiling hor or luke warm, just as
he desires. He conceived the idel on Monday
and feels greatly elated over it. He is also de-
vising plan by which he proposes TO close
and open the bridge safety gates automati-
