STEUBENvILLE, OHIO, February 18.-
It has been learned that the Council
cannot donate the $40, 900, as proposed, 10
o company who would erect a wagon
bridge across the Ohio at this point, unless
there is unanimous consent, and as such a
thing ~ no opposition in Steubenville to
any movement must be next to a miracle,
the scheme has been abandoned n some
other plan in furtheraIce Of the object Will
doubtless soon be put in motion. That
the bridge should be built, and that it
would be n good thing for the city there 10
20 doubt. 1t is also conceded that the
bridge would pay good interest on the
money invested, and if Steubenville CAPT
tai cannot be enlisted in the enterprise,
there is such a thing as going abroad for it.
A leading citizen remarked q day this
week that the entire $3.50, 900 stock could
be negotiated in Wheeling and PIttsburg
About 5 o'clock Thursday morning Sam
Salmon and a couple of friends vent TO the
Windsor Hotel, on Third street, and, fail
ing TO gain an entrance by the front door,
went to the rear Of the building and broke
in the back door. They then proceeded up
stairs to q room occupied by a woman
named Evans and broke her door down for
the purpose of gaining entrance, but inst
then John Sc~harlott, the landlord, appeared
on the scene, and during a jangle struck
Salmon in the face with a hammer, break
ing his Jaw aud f%racturing the bone in a
very bad manner. Salmon was removed
TO the residence of BALI GriesiUger,
where bis wounds were dressed. 1t is said
that all his teeth will have to be extracted
before his Jaw can be put in proper shape.
The people Of Wheeling will remember
Salmon as the man who was shot some
mouths G by Mr.. Schmidt during the

saloon.
The rush for seats for the Bostonian
Opera C~ompany's performance was m
thing unprecedented in this city. Some
parties were so anxious to get first choice
that they employed a colored man to stand
in front of Gardner's music store all Mon
day night in order to be the first n in
attendance Tuesday morning. Others were
there as early as half past four o'clock and
one auburn haired attomly distinguished
himself by putting up a job on the colored
man in order to get him away from the
door so that he could slip into his place.
The connection of w. II. Mcdonald with
the company Was the cause Of q great pOr-
ton OF the interest manifested. Mr.. Nc
Donald is an old Steubenville boy, and
has many warm friends and admirers re-
siding here.
Al effort was made during the past week
to adopt Eastern Standard time for this
place, but its movement net with such de-
termined opposition from different sources

time. Everyone thoroughly understands
this, and it does not appear that any good
would result from a change.
