THE UNION BRIDGE.
THE SURVEY ATTRACTS NOTICE
From Number of PrOmluon. oiti.sns who
call at the Mcclure Housekeeping over
the GrOsaa-JsdEs Coehraa's Views
on the Election next Saturday.

Mr.. LindsnthAl, the consulting engineer
Of the projected Union Bridge here,
Judge Cochran, President Of the Com.
pAny, and Others interested In the pro-
pOgal, spent q portion Of the day yesterday
in looking about over town, at the site OF
the bridge and the territory over which 1t
Is proposed the terminal system shall ex.
tend. The maps and profles Of the pro-
jected line from the Oonnellsville coke
fields to Wheeling and from Wheeling to
Bowerston, with. the plans Of the bridge,
were examined by many prominent citi.
zens who called ct the Mcclure house for
the purpose yesterday. General surprise
is expressed OF the magnitude Of the work
done. The Connellsyille line, Of which
little has been eaid, but the construction Of
which is fully assured II the bridge
Is built, will alone recompense
the city for the subscription to
tho bridge stock. It will make
coke transportation cheaper, placing
Wheeling on Gs favorable plane as Pitts.
burgh. This was frequently remarked
yesterday by gentlemen with q full knoWl-
edge OF the situation. The iron and other
manufacturers show especial interest in
the project; to them 1t means cheaper
freights both on raw material and finished
product. They called at the Mcclure yes
terdsy in numbers, and examined the
maps with core. Other prominent cit-
Gems also dropped in Ringly or in groups
ali through the day. Mr.. LindsnthEl, the
consulting engineer, has impressed all
who have met him as we'll posted, sclsn-
tifiC man, q master Of his profession. The
bridge people are congratulated on their
good fortune in securing his services.
A reporter asked Judge Cochran last
evening: "What can ssy OF tho bridge
project in the morning"
"Nothing, except that We hopo all our
friends will remember to go to the polls
and vote for the subscription ordinance
Saturday, and also urge their friends to
come out"
The general feeling is that the ordinance
will be adopted Saturday il people come
out and vote. The only fear seems to be
that those who are favorable TO the prop
osItion will take its success as toreHone
conclusion, aud 80 fail to come out and
vote. It Is evident that the popular sen.
timent is practically unanimous in favor
Of the bridge.
Following 10 the full text OF the resolu-
ton adopted Sunday by the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly in reference
TO the bridge ordinance:
Reyolued, That the answer Of Hon. R. 81.
Cochran, President Of the Wheeling &
Harrisburg Railroad Company, to the res.
olution OF the Ohio Valley Trades and
Labor Assembly in regard to the employ

road and bridge, and for footway sC.oss

Progress OF tho Preparations for the Meth
odIst Conference Seminary.
Rev. DR.. A. ]. LYDIA, formerly Of thil
city, now OF Charleston, and holding the
Office Of Financial Agent OF the West Viz
Einia NJ. E. Conference Seminary, arrived
in the city last evening and registered
at the stsmm house. In conversation
with an INTKaMaENcER reporter he stated
that for the past week no had been solicit
ing subscriptions for the Seminary In the
Fourth district and had been meeting with
fair success. The total subscriptions now
amounted to over $4,000, and there Ia
quito sum In sight that Is promised, but
not yet formally subscribed.
There has been purchased at Buckhan.
non forty.three acres Of ground for semi.
nary purposes. The average price paid
was $l28; to-day, Dr.. LYDIA says, these
lots were they on the market again, would
readily command $1,000 per acre. The
cause Of this rise 10 the promised extension
Of two railroads to that point. It Is O
pretty well assured fact that the Baltimore
& Ohio road will push the Grafton 4
Greenbrier on through Buckhannon to
Charleston and that OF no very distant
day. Engineering corps have already
gone over the route and about completed
laying II out. Another corps Of engineers
have worked as far aslBuCkhannon, laying
ont q route for ex-senator Davis road,
which Ia supposed to be heading for the
Ohio river OF point near Pt. Pleasant.
All oil this has given Buckhannon and
the surrounding country big boom.

Of the first building to be erected and haul.

ton, in time, It is hoped, to open the resu.
lar fall term. This first building is to cost
about $4,000. OF the amount thus far
subscribed about $4,000 comes from the
people In and about BuckhRnnon, and
they are oonBtRntly adding to 1t in Q small
way. Their subscriptions are all made
payable within nine months, which will
enable the Board TO pay for the land in

the nailers wanted them to stand the an.
tire reduction, and decided to strike rather
than stand any reduction whatever. The
seli-ieedsr boys also refused to stand any
reduction, and consequently strike has
been ordered among the feeders and self

The claim Of the feeders Ia said 10 be held

now out. It is hard to tell what will be

having their representatives here at the
convention to be held on the 18th and
10th to assist in forming the proposed

to look as though the capacity Of the

accommodate the husts. A local
executive committee has been formed to
perfect the arrangements. Senator N. B.
Scott ia chairman OF this committee and

committee will space of tho Opera House

Last evenings s.eubenvills Herald says:
The early train on the p, W. & K. which
leaves the Pan Handle station about $50
in the morning, went of the track this
morning at Wheeling Junction on account
Of o misplaced switch. Both coaches were
dsrailsd and the wreck crew was called
ont from this city. Fortunately the train
was backing in on the hwitch or the acct
dent might have been serious one. Had
Inc train been running ct q high rate Of
speed, the probabilities are that serious
loss Of life would have enBued. The
switch was misplaced through the wicked,
disbolicsl intention Of some discharged
employe who bad placed an obstruction
between the main aud switch rail- for the
malicious purpose Of doing damaget to the
railway company. The authorities will
Investigate tho matter and the psrpetra'
for, Il discovered, will suffer the full ex'
