THE FREE-BRIDGE QUESTION.
what Has Been Recommended in
the Past.

In connection with the discussion Of the
free bridge question IL is interesting to re-
call the recommendations made to the Sec
rotary Of War in the annual reports of tho
officers interested, and which have the in
dorsement of the War Department.
The proposition favored by the Engineer
Corps is the erection of an ornamental
bridge at some point between Rock Crock
and Easby's Point, probably near the foot
of G street, connecting the parking system,
which is gradually being developed by tho
harbor improvement and reclamation of
the flats, with some point communicating
at an easy grade with the Government
property at Fort Myer and Arlington. This
bridge 1t was proposed to construct at tho
expense of the Government entirely and to
be so situated as to make the dis
lance to the markets of Washing
ton and Georgetown shorter THAI by
either the Long Bridge or Aqueduct Bridge
There would hes fear that in construct
ing bridge of this kind too much consid-
Grafton would be given to tho pleasure
seekers who drive to Arlington aud not
enough to the convenience Of the farmers
and business people whose interests are
those most to be consulted, but If an assur-
ance was given that bridge suitable to
the purposes and demands of business was
to be constructed on this plan and at this
locality, the project would find many to
support and indorse IT,
The scheme of buying the right to tho
/ AqueduCt piers has little to commend it ex-
cept its comparative economy and the easy
access from the main streets of Georgetown.
The proposition Of the company would be to
sell the unqualified right to the existing
piers on which the District or Government
is to build superstructure strong enough
| to carry the canal across the river in an
aqueduct which the canal company are to
construct at their own expense.
The Three Sisters, Bridge project is halt
century old, and its advantages aud
drawbacks have been thoroughly discussed.
The policy of the District Commissioners,
| it is understood, will be to refrain from re-
commencing site, and to devote their en-
orgies to having bridge constructed at the
expense Of the Government, and to oppose
its construction at the expense of the Dis.
trict revenues, which, as they claim, should
be expended as largely as possible in the
improvements Of sewerage and streets, and
not at present in the construction Of another
bridge.
| 1t is inferred that tho Commissioners, if
| compelled TO make o recommendation con-
corning site, will express a preference for
the proposed bridge connecting the river
parks and the Arlington road, If the Gov
eminent constructs the bridge, and will
favor the purchase of the Aqueduct piers,
ON the ground Of economy, IL the District
has TO sustain any considerable proportion
of the eXpense aayp~

A Plucky Maiden.

PALYRMA, n. j.. Nov. 1.-Several
daring robberies have been COM
mitted around Palyrma within the
last few days, and the community
has become thoroughly alarmed. On
Friday night two other robberies
occurred. The first house broken
into was that of Savory Toy. His
daughter, a brave young woman, II
years of age, was awakened by
some noise, aud by the light of a
lamp burning in the hall she saw a
burly colored man ransacking the
bureau in an adjoining room. The
thief heard slight noise az that
moment and crawled under the bed,
and arter waiting a few moments
crawled out again, whereupon the
yonng woman bravely grappled
with him, at the same time calling
loudly for help. The ruflian
struggled to break the girls hold,
and failing to do this dragged her
into the hall and threw her head
long down the stairs. At this juno
ture, Mr.. Toy appeared or the escene,
but the thief escaped, carrying with
MIN a gold watch and chain, some
jewelry and a quantity of clothing.
Yesterday morning Miss Trey had
partially recovered from the effects
of her fall, but was still suffering
from nervous prostration.

Found IN aQuarry.

BELLAIRE, Ohio, November IA
party of hunters to-day found skel-
eton among the rocks OF a stone-quar-
~, west of the town. Various sto-
ries are told to account for the skele-
ton. One is that twenty years ago,
one Margaret Porter lived at the
home of Jacob Long. two miles
from the quarry. Margaret, not
content with her place, came to Bel
laire, then a mere village. She re-
mained here some time, often visit
ing her old home. One day she
started from here and was never
heard of again Harrison Porter, the
father of the girl, who is still living,
is of the opinion that the bones are
those of his daughter. But the
bones are too well preserved for this
theory. Another clue has been dis
covered, however. which leads to the
belief that the skeleton is that of
Miss Minnie Thomas, one of the
three persons who SO mysteriously
disappeared from Clarington, Ohio,
twenty miles south of this city,
three months ago. An additional
human foot was found in a crevice
nearby.

A Big Scheme.

MEXICO, Oct. 29.-Count Lam
grand, representing a syndicate of
European distillers, has proposed 20
the Mexican National Railroad Co.
to advance sufficient capital to COM
plete and equip road, under the
condition that tie syndicate control
the management and receive certain
freight rates for the transportation
of corn over the road to Corpus
Christi The syndicate will contract
with farmers along the railroad who
wish to double or triple their pro-
duction of corn, to purchase annu-
ally not less than 100000 nor
more than 100000 tons. to be
shipped to Europe for use in their
distilleries. The object of the syn
dicate is to procure sure supply
of corn at a fixed price and thus be
independent of the corn spectators.
The railroad company is consider
ing the project.

Trouble between Republicans and
Independents leads 70 Arson.

WHEELING, Oct. 30.-For three
months past bitter faction fight
has existed in Marshall County be-
tween the regular Republicans and
a small coterie of the so-called In
dependents; the latter for the most
part composed of disappointed
office-seekers and wouldbe leaders,
who, failing to rule the party, de-
termined on its ruin, if possible.
The Mountsville Reporter took
sides with the Independents, and a
full county ticket was put up, with
the avowed purpose of allowing the
Democrats, otherwise in hopeless
minority, to win. A no. campaign
followed, resulting in the defeat Of
the regular Republicans at the Octo-
Der election. Since then the trouble
has resolved itself into bitter per-
sonal fight, eliminating q few weeks
ago in the wrecking of the Reporter
office. The paper resumed pubii-
cation, however, denouncing the
Republican leaders as being re-
sponsible for the outrage.
This morning the publication Of
fee was fired by some unknown
person, and the building and con-
tents were totally destroyed, two
large dwelling houses adjoining
shared the same fate. The loss
is $4,000.

A Jail Delivery.

BEAVER, Pa, Oct. 31.-Five pris-
oners escaped from the county Jail.
At about s o'clock a small boy
called to the hired girl who has
charge of feeding the prisoners to
bring a cup of water to a sick pris-
oner. She got the water, unlocked
the first door, went in with the
water and left the door unlocked
and open. AS she was returning
she was surprised to see five of the
prisoners running out of the Jail
hall. The alarm was at once given,
and Sheriff Cook, who was in the
Jail at the time, rushed out and
started in pursuit, but owing to the
donse fog no trace OF them could
be found. Their escape was effect
ed by gaining access to the upper
part of the Jail, crawling over the
cells, and down into the corridor,
whence, when the door was opened
first by the girl, they made their
escape No clue as to which direc-
ton they went has been obtained.
