A New Bridge at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Oct S.-The Merchants Bridge
company, which was organized two year,
ago TO build another bridge across the river
at the north end of the city, has at last got
down to business. Plans have been adopted
and the site has been selected. The struc
ture will span the river at the front of Ferry
street. Three spans of about 60 feet each
and the usual long approaches will be built
The bridge will be used for railroad traffic
exclusively, unless $500, 900 of bonds are
taken by the citizens Of north St. Louis, in
which event wagon road will also be con-
structed. The bridge will be about two and
a half miles north of tho present bridge,
and will cost $l,O00,O0 All the necessary
franchises have been secured. The enter
prise is a movement against Gould.

Tho following interesting item Is taken

a copy Of the paper:
A Steel Rail Corner.-The Ironmonger

comprising the whole Of tho steel rail
manufacturers In Groat Britain, Germany,

The details Of the scheme, however. ore
not yot known. 81
oh, no, there are no trusts and combi-
nations in England, mono in Europe.
Trusts and combinations are only possible
in protection countries. 1t is perhaps not
generally known that the Mills bill, which
puts tin plate on the free list, will increase
the demand for English sheet iron. In
view of this it is not surprising to lind
the following in recent copy Of o Liver
pool paper:
Further important steps were taken
yesterday to strengthen the operations of
the makers ring in the Staffordshiro and
Midland sheet iron trades. Some ques-
ton is beginning to arise whether the re-
starting of additional mills by outsiders
may not weaken the hands of the ring.
With the object of preventing this an in
fluential committee was yesterday elected
to induce firms not now members of tho
trust to throw in their lot with tho asso-
citation and so keep up prices. Since tho
inauguration OF the ring prices have risen
fifteen shillings per ton.
Already the British salt producers and
manufacturers of tin have made combi-
nation in view Of the passage In the house
of representatives of the Mills bill, max
ing one-sixth of our dutiable imports
free. and now the steel rail manufacturers
and sheet iron trades are organizing for
raid on tho American market.-New York

father and son. named George Hubbartt.

was born In 17S4. andls cohseqnently l0l
years old. The Chicago Tribunc's corre-
spondent found him in indianapolis,
where he was Visiting his daughter. Mrs.
Samuel Record, of 814 East Market street.
The old mans countenance was interest
ing. The ravages of time had left him
yet with bright blue eye. his checks arc
full Of lines. but not much sunken. and
his mouth has capacity of expression un-
usual In men forty years his junior. The
deepest marks of time arc In his brown
and withered hands, which. despite his
great age. arc steady as n clock today"
to quote his expression His voice Is
clear and strong. though he keys it high.
as most persc.- do who have defective
hearing.
After a general conversation the old
gentleman said:
II was blind for three year Cat
aracts grew over my eyes, but since
they were removed have had excellent
sight. wear one pair of glasses when
read and another pair when / walk. but
that is not unusual for younger men
than me-" .----,-.-
ITO what do you attribute your great
age?" 49,
Il always lived as close to nature as
could. Exercise. good food. warm cloth

never used tobacco in my life, and have
had little to do with stimulants.
Mrs Record said her father usually re-
tired early-at or o'clock-and arose ut
A or 8. He, had for number of years
taken a nap after dinner. His diet usually
excluded meats because no feared indi-
gestion. He drank coffee and tea.
II farmed until o few years ago." the
old man said, land than moved into the
village had got SO wasn't much ac-
count on farm"
Being asked for a sketch of his life he
gave these data: Il was born in Sussex
county. Del. March "a, 1884. When I
was y years old my parents moved to
North Carolina. l remember the trip well.
l lived with my parents until l was %
years old. and then | concluded to roam
around in tho west awhile. That was in
1906. We hadn't any steam cars in those
days, and there wasn't any boats on the
river. saddled little roam nag one day
and set out. All the west was one great
wilderness then. Not O path had been
broken through tho big forests of this
state, and we had no guides to show us
the way. 1t was just dive into the big
woods, and. if you got lost, get out the
best you could or make the most of stay
ing. A young fellow who didn't like adj
venture staid ut home those times. That
was before Gen. Harrison whaled the
Injuns. and the woods was full of red
skins.
when first saw Cincinnati they were
rolling logs away from the lovec, and
that was the only well cleared spot in tho
town. There were logs and stumps
everywhere about the old south market
house."
Mr.. Hubbartt related in an entertaining
manner o number Of hunting anecdotes,
showing remarkable recollection of even
tho most trivial details of events which
occurred eighty years ago.
