ABOUT THE CITY.

How Things Looked About tho City Yes
terdsy.
From early morning until late last night
sight-seers were out in full force, and the
principal points of interest were the creek
banks and Caldwell's run. The streets in
the vicinity Of these points presented an
animated scene all day as people came and
went constantly. The sight-seers were not
only our citizens, but many came from
over the river and other points to see the
work Of destruction.
The Water supply.
The Niagara engine was stationed at the
corner of Market and South streets all day
Yesterday, and il pumped water from the
ire-plug at that point through two lines Of
hose which connected with the plug at
Market and Twenty.first streets, and the
residents on the level portion of the South
Side received fair supply of water during
the day, which, being use d economically,
went around pretty fairly. Superintend-
cnt Riddle had u force of men at work all
day laying six inch main across the
Market street bridge, but being short Of
ak inch pipe be was compelled to use some
eight inch, which delayed the W ork some
what. 1t was expected that the line would
be mpleted by this morning and waite
turned in. The twenty-inch pipe will
probably not arrive for week or two, 80
the consumers of water on the South Side
will be compelled to use it
RATHER ECONOMICALLY.
The mills and workshops using city wa
ter were compelled to shut down and I'M
less they Can secure water supply from
the river, will remain closed until the big
main Is laid.
The Electrical Company laid two inch
line of pipe from fire plug ia the rear OF
the tack factory to their plant on Twenty.
second street, which was completed in time
20 that they could start their works and
furnish electric lights last evening. Swee-
new 4 Son have run line to CsldwelPs
run and they will resume work this morn
ing. Arhepz's furniture factory run a
syphon to the creek and thus supplied
themselves with sufficient water to run the
boilers. 1t is probable other manufacturers
will make some temporary ar
ranpement Of this kind which will
allow them to continue work. What
caused the sudden failure of the water sup
ply in the upper end of the city Tuesday
evening, was that when the twenty-inch
main was severed by the falling of the
stone bridge, the basin was completely
emptied before the water coald be shut of
at Sixteenth street. Some time Tuesday
night or yesterday morning the small main
crossing Caldwell's run severed connec-
tons.

The Ohio Riser Road.

The Ohio River road also escaped lucki-
ly. A gentleman who came up over it last
evening on the fret train arriving in the
city since Tuesday afternoon, stated that
the damage to the road, with one excep-
ton, was very slight, consisting of little
land slides, which had all been cleared
away. The only point where the damage
amounted to anything, wss at Bull Creek,
where the road was being Strengthened.
The bridge was not being used and trestle
had been thrown up in its stead until the

WAS THE STONE BRIDGE "OLDe"
What a welLPosted Citizen Said Of 1t
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
A well-known and well-posted citizen
said yesterday, to REGISTER reporter:
az have often heard people talk of the
old stone bridge why called old / do
not know. 1t is only a little over fifty
wears since it was built. The bridge ut
Croyland, in Eogland, over the confluence
of three streams, was built in the time Of
the Normsns, and one at O:enss, in Spain,
in 1880. The Della sautissims Trinits, at
Florence, was erected in the Sixteenth
Century. So the old stone bridge did
not collapse with old age, but from want
of keeping in proper repair and because
the center pier was not properly pro-
tected from the assaults Of ice and the
various debris which any flood might
hurl against it.
Bridges, like anything else in constant
use, require constant attention to keep
them in repair. In stone bridges the
Joints need to he pointed with cement
when worn out by the action of the water,
aud defective stones replaced by perfect
ones, and the side Of the pier up stream
should be built pointed TO an angle, and
in these days strengthened with steel.
"Iron and steel bridges need to be kept
painted and free from rust. All tension
rods need to have the slack taken up so
that the bridge shall not sag. and all bolts
must be kept tight. Combination bridges
of wood and metal need the same treat
ment and care, and in addition all rotting
woodwork should he replaced with sound
timber, and rusty or bent or fractured
metal with new, for q bridge is only as
strong as its weakest part, Metal and
combination bridges should be painted
every year and be kept swept clean from
oil dirt which may collect around the heels
of struts and so cause decay"

The Natural Gas supply.

People who use natural gas were COM
PEELED to use wood and coal yesterday
morning to get breakfast with, and there
was no gas until noon, when
the West Virginia Company made
connection with the Wheeling Company.
On account of the break in+the Wheeling
Company's lines on Main street, however,
the supply is not very heavy, but enough
10 furnish domestic consumers. The main
breaks in the West Virginia Company
lines are at Elm Grove, Thornburg's and
rerrell's crossings. 1t will probably be
two weeks before the breaks can be re-
paired, and possibly longer, il the Com
pany decides to change the course Of its
line. a. they are contemplating, in order
to avoid any more trouble Of the kind they
have suffered from twice in five weeks.

Illuminating Gas.

When the Main street bridge went away
Tuesday evening, the city gas main lead
ing over il was broken, and before the gas
could be shut off one of the tanks at the
works registered loss of 50. 600 cubic feet
The method of shutting off the gas is an
interesting one. OF course men could not
get out to the end of the pipe in the creek,
so a small hole was drilled in it on this
aide, q rubber bag inserted, which was
blown full of air, thus completely and
neatly filling the main and prevent
inc the escape of the gas. The pipe
leading across Chspline street at the
run, which supplies the Eighth ward,
broke Tuesday night, and the people down
there had no light end lamps and candles
