some news in police circles floating
around. But today there is nothing, not
even a lone COW has been impounded,

The republicans are now making an
effort to organize republican drum

them after Nov. 4th

After SO long time, aided by the prod~
ding that the ARGUS has been doing, the
powers that be have commenced repairing
the dilapidated piece of sidewalk on
Second avenue between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets. A new walk ought to
be put down there instead of the old one
being repaired up. But we are no hog.
If they will only repair it up in safe
manner we will be satisfied.

The keystone Bridge Company.

PITTsBURG, Dee 29.-The sudden suspension
Of the Keystone bridge works, on Saturday, was
fully explained this morning by a statement,
which has been verified, that serious differences
of opinion existed between the stockholders of
the corporation. 1t is now known that President
Gotlieb and Secretary and Treasurer Strobe
were both opposed to the proposed reduction
and resigned. On Saturday A. r. Griffin, of
Chicago, was elected president and j. H.
Springer, of this city, general superintendent.
The works, as now organized, will resume in
one week, if the workmen accept the reduction
ordered. The works have contracts for nearly
year, including Baltimore & Ohio bridge
over the Susquehanna river, bridge for the
Louisville g. Nashville road, and pivot bridge
for the Wabash road the contracts for which
ness occurred.
