THE MEMPHIS BRIDGE.
THE SENATE COMMITTEES HEARING
OF THE BILL POSTPONED.
Mr.. Nettleton Regards this Action In
the Light of an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
from this City Arrive at washington
and Begin Earnest Work.

There was no little anxiety among the
Memphis people yesterday as to the hear
ing OF the Phelan bridge bill before the
Senate commerce committee and how the
chance for its recommendation, as orlgi-
nally framed, stood. 1t was o recognized
fact that the moment was a supreme one,
involving the best interests OF the city.
While there was little reason to believe
there would be any definite conclusion to-
day, even were the hearing taken up, there
was we'll defined yearning for
every word Of intelligence that could
be obtained. Late in the afternoon
an APPEAL reporter learned that q
private telegram had been received by Mr..
George III. Nettleton, president of the Ten
nessee & Arkansas Bridge company, and
sought that gentleman for confirmation or
denial. Mr.. Nettleton was found in the
office of Supt. Sullivan, OF the
Kansas City, Memphis 4 Birmingham rail-
road, and promptly answered in the Affirm
alive, at the same time producing the tele..
gram. II was signed &c. X. Leonard, ="
and announced that the hearing had been
postponed until Friday, MIR. Leonard
further said that he had every assurance
OF success, but feared the amend
ment offered by Senator Har-
ris, which might occasion tedious
delay. This, he said, would be obviated
wese there any possible means TO accom-
plish it. Mr.. Nettleton stated to the re-
porter that Mr.. Leonard was the WASH
ington attorney Of his company in this
emergency, and he viewed the telegram in
decidedly hopeful light.
Descending from Mr.. Sullivan's Office,
the reporter met Maj. J. 4. Petit, who in
quired after tidings from Washington. He
was informed Of the telegram and its con-
tents, and said "Im rather pleased at
that. 1t gives our delegates and friends a
better chance. do not feel any great
alarm now, for the bridge bill is in good
hands,"
TIE APPEAL's Washington correspond
ent last night wired the following intelli-
gence on the important measure:
WAsHISGToS, Feb. 1.-The Senate
committee on commerce today had pre-
liminary hearing ON the Memphis bridge
bill. On account Of the absence OF Mr..
Van Benthuyscn, in New York, il was
decided 10 postpone the hearing until
Friday, Then Gen. Field, president OF
the Union Bridge company, who has been
telegraphed TO by Mr.. Phelan, will be
present, and the absentees OF the other
side as well. The committee appointed by
the Memphis exchanges TO represent the
desires OF the people Of Memphis in this
matter, consisting OF Messrs. Lucas Clapp
and W. L. Mallory, arrived in the city this
morning, and will be present at FRIDAYS
meeting,

his message accompanying the report OF
the Pacific railroad commission, that no
additional lands be patented TO the rail-
road companies until their indebtedness
was paid, that II be so ordered by Con-
gress. The constitutionality and wisdom
OF the resolution Mas debated.
MIR. Turner, OF Kansas, suggested that q
substitute for the resolution be reported
which would continue the patenting OF
lands TO the companies, but which would
provide that the proceeds OF all lands sold
by them should be covered into the treas
ury and credited TO the sinking fund OF
the companies. This proposition seemed
TO meet the favor Of the committee. Fur
ther action was postponed until next week.
THE ADMISSION OF DAKOTA.
Delegate o. s. Clifford, OF Dakota, was
heard this morning by the House commit
tee ON Territories, in favor Of the bill TO adj
init North and South Dakota as separate
States.
He said that the proposed States contain
each nearly $1,000 square miles. They
would be exceeded by only seven other
States OF the United States in size, and
each would be larger than all Of New
ohh A'tW btioSg
Mr.. Clifford read at great length state
ments tending TO substantiate the claim
that the proposed States possess in an en-
iment degree the conditions as to area,
productive capacity, population, loyalty,
wealth and agricultural resources requisite
10 entitle them 10 admission TO the sister
hood II States. All persons will agree, lac
said, that the treatment received by the
Territory from the hands of Congress re-
garding this matter OF sisterhood Is with
out parallel in the country's history in its
neglect. lie held in its excellent reason
for the division and admission Of the two
parts Of the Territory MS distinct States,
was that the function Of the government
could be better exercised by two states OF
medium size than would be the case II the
Territory In its large, unwieldy condition
were admitted as whole.
Arguments were also made by Mr.. III.
Ray Myers, Of Dakota, favoring division
Of the Territory, and by Mr.. W. l.. Pur-
cell, Of North Dakota, in opposition TO
division, being in favor OF the bill admit
ting the Territory rs a whole.

THAT'S mistake. The defective pres

have been subjected, caused by our reli-
ance for three years on the citys move

know they had an unsatisfactory service.
The blame fell on us, but II all the facts
had been considered it would not. But
that's in the past, let IL go.
"Should the two companies agree on a
basis Of cooperation would it affect the
rates?"
"No, sir The new company, Under its
contract with the city, is authorized to
charge materially more to private consum-
ers than our company, but, bad as we are,
we will insist on our rates, except possibly
in very few instances.

AN UGLY SCANDAL.
A Wealthy Merchants Wife Deserts
Him For His Young Clerk.


A case Of execrable depravity, II all the
facts be true, was brought to light yester-
day. On Sunday last a young man and
an elderly looking woman arrived at
Duffy's hotel and registered he rs C.. l..
Bridges and she rs Mrs. A. V. Helms.
She was assigned room No. 40 and he
No. 25. 1t now turns out that they
are an illicit pair. Mrs. Helms is
the wife OF a prosperous mer-
chant in a small town not many miles
from this city, and Bridges has been
clerk in the store OF the husband for some
time heretofore. The husband suspected
his wife with infdelity with his clerk. and.
il Is said, set trap for them and proved
his fears. II is further alleged that he
told his wife they could no longer live
together, and giving her a sum OF money,
she left for this city. The clerk, cog
infant Of what was going on, skipped
out, and joining her on the train,
came here with her lie stayed
until Tuesday, and left for Evansville, Ind,
which was his former home, but left his
luggage at the hotel, saying he would be
back here tonight. Mrs Helm is about
forty years old, the mother of four children,
one OF them grown daughter. They re-
main with their father. Bridges Is about
twenty-eieht years old. Mrs. Helm has
relatives living here, and Yesterday after
noon left the hotel stating that she was go
ing out TO spend the night with them.

Last night I. J. johnson, vender Of

Main and Washington streets, informed
Officer Doherty that his valisc, which was
well filed with soap, had been distracted
from his wagon by some unknown party.
Doherty followed up aclew. and soon after
being informed arrested man named
John Kelly rs the thief After being
cornered the latter admitted the
theft, and the vnlise was found at
Dondero's saloon, on Front street,
where Kelly had left IL Kelly is well
known 10 the police, and this is not the
first time he has been arrested.
At the station-house Chas. Raney, a
white man, in tho employ Of johnson,
stated that he would prosecute. Detective
Armstrong sized him up. and finally con-
Guided that he answered the description
Of man wanted by the lcssecs Of the Ar
kansas penitentiary, and locked him up.
After close questioning Raney admitted
that he had been in the penitentiary at
Little Rock, but said he had served his
time, five years, not for larceny, rs was
supposed, but for taking part in n littlo
confidence game. Raney seems 10 be n
very shrewd fellow, and there IL no doubt
that he skipped from the pen before his
time wis up. As II il, he Is held as n
fugitive from Justice, and will not be re-
leased until the Arkansas authorities are
heard from.
