Ehe Arthur XIII bridge Bill Likely
to be Signed-Thc Bridge 20 be Built
Right Away.
New York, June 9.-Erastus Wiman
said to-day that he had no doubt that
President Cleveland will sign the Arthur
Kill bridge bill just pissed by Congress.
The work of constructing the bridge will
begin within three months after the Pres
ident's signature is affixed to the bill. In
regard to the use of the Jersey Central
tracks by the Baltimore x Ohio, which is
reported, MIR. Wiman says that il is pos
sible the Baltimore Il Ohio may use the
Jersey Central until the Staten Island
extension is completed, but that there is
absolutely no intention TO abandon the
Staten Island route, Mr.. Wiman has be-
gun the construction of SO cottages at
New Drop, Staten Island, which will be
sold to persons wishing to settle on the
island on peculiar plan devised by Mr..
Wiman and very easy to tho purchaser
These cottages will be followed by others.
President King and General Coun-
sci Cowen of the Baltimore IL Ohio, are
in town to-day. The latter says mt tue
bridge will be bnilt as soon rs Tie fresi
dent signs the bill and the war depart
ment approves the plans. The work Of
construction will not, in his opinion, con
sumo more than eight or ten months
The bridge will be about 600 feet long, of
iron, and constructed with draws for
passing vessels. The bridge will not
interfere with commerce or be an incon-
venience to any one. The ferry from New
York to Staten Island will be no longer
than several other railroad ferries here,
and the distance will be covered in about
is minutes by new and powerfully
steamboats,, the largest and best that can
be constructed. Measured by time or dis
lance, the road will be on an equality
with the Pennsylvania.

I'm BOstOR Preparing for His Fight
with Mitchell.


BosToN, June 14.-Few of the sporting
fraternity knew that John l.. Sullivan had
returned to Boston until he started out
this morning for five. mile walk. Those
who have seen him in his prime noticed
that he was far from we'll. He seemed to
be slightly under the weather. and every
move he made denoted that be was in
anything but good condition. After walk
ing o mile or two, however, he limbered
up and seemed to regain his old-time
sprightliness. He enjoyed the walk very
much, and when he returned he looked
much better than when he started. To a
reporter he said:
81 came to town to have n short rest
and this is the principal reason for not
wishing any persons to know of my ar
rival. 1t will soon be time for me to pre-
pare for my fight with Charles Mitchell,
which is to take place in New York on
July 9Th. The winner is to receive 7Oper
cent of the gate receipts and the loser 30
per cent. The fight is for eight rounds
and will take place on the Polo grounds.
1 will be in good condition for the fight
and will win the 40 per cent receipts.
Sullivan, whose weight is about 2l5
pounds, thinks of going into training at
Scituate about 10 miles from this city.
He will endeayor to enter tie ring Mt about
200 pounds. He will return to New York
on Wednesday, and then his training
grounds will be positively decided on.

They Hold n Secret Session TO Join
the knights of Labor.
Sr. LOUIS, June IA secret session of
the delegates to the convention of the
Brotherhood of Telegraphers was held
in Kansas City. Thedelegates were from
all parts of the United States, and several
of the most prominent were those who
were active in the great telegraphers'
strike in 1883. Ever since that time the
fraternity have been quietly organizing
upon sound basis. but they have found
it necessary to be very cautious in their
movements, and it was for this reason
that the convention was held with
such secrecy. The meeting was
harmonious throughout, and large
amount of work was accom-
plished. Heretofore the Brotherhood
has been an independent organiza-
ton, the various local councils fofmulat-
ing such rules and bylaws us were deemed
necessary for their proper government.
The rapidity, however, with which the
organization has increased of late has
made it necessary to more thoroughly
systematic the working of the separate
councils under general head. 1t was
for this purpose that the convention was
called, and after mature deliberation it
was unanimously resolved TO fall in line
under the banner of the Knights of
Labor. This was the principal business
of the meeting, and it was completed.
The convention adjourned sine die.

PrTTsBURa, June 10.-At meeting of
the international Typographical Union
to-day the committee appointed to devise
n plan whereby the munifcent gift of
Messrs. Childs and Drexel could be put
to the best possible use will recommend
that the $40, 900 remain at interest for the

that every union printer working in union
offices east of the Mississippi river shall
set up 1 900 ems, the proceeds of which
shall go into this fund. Next, when the
birthday of Anthony Drexel dawns, every
union printer west of the Mississippi
river shall in like manner contribute the
pay of 1000 ems to the fund. Thus for
five years it is proposed to commemorate
in this way the birthdays of these two
generous givers. Atthe end of the period
It is expected handsome sum not far
short of $50,000 will have been raised.
With this it is in contemplation to erect
in Philadelphia beautiful hall which
