THE CREEK BRIDGE.
sONB OBJECTIONS TO A STONB STRUCTURE
ANSWERED.
An Inlsrvisw With City Engineer Hogs Containing
Some Points Of Value % the Public
Of the City.

A REGISTER representative yesterday
asked City Engineer F. l. HOge what effect
the elevation Of the roadway Of the pro-
posed new stone bridge scrOss the creek al
Main street, to 8 height Of four feet above
the level Of the old stone bridge, would
have upon the street. Mr.. Hoge replied
"It would have a beneficial effect. II
would very materially improve the grade
of Main street, south of the bridge, while
At this end there would be q gentle grade
out onto Main street at Sixteenth"
Glow would it effect surrounding prop
erty?"
'To a very small extent. There would
probably be but one piece Of property
which would be materially affected, and
the eitv could well afford to raise that to
the new grade 1t would be strange
thing. indeed, if a great public improve
mept was to be set aside for such reason. "
would the elevation of the bridge have
any other advantsge?"

stonework. and render it less liable to

''Wbat are the comparative merits OF
stope and iron or steel BRIDGES"
1.-The best bridge for cities and towns Is
that composed Of materials requiring the
least repair or supervision. OF course, the
tendency, in all municipalities, IS to let
bridges and other works Of public I'M
movement, 90 along without repairs or
sdeouate attention, aud the bridge which
needs the least attention in this way, Is
the best in the long ruD."
sIt has been stated that en- iron or steel
bridge could be thrown across the creek at
Main street for oue-fourih the cost OF
stone bridge. Is that true"
'rNo. sir. Ifmy memory serves me, the
cost of the Market street bridge, which
was built along in the early seventies
somewhere, was fifty thousand dollars or
more.

What Was She Thinking ?

Col. Bill Exley returned yesterday from
a trip out the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg railroad, and as usual he has a
fund OF rev stories, one of which is
especially good. The Colonel says he was
one evening talking to young woman,
whose father kept the country hotel where
he stopped, when young man came into
the sitting room. He noticed a sort OF
shyness on the part of both but did not
catch on Then the following converse
ton ensued between the two:
"Howd'y do, Mary ?"
"Howd'y, Charlie ?'
'How's the folks9"
Purity we'll"
Then they settled down to silence, and
Just abeut the time the Colonel came to
the conclusion that he was the one that
turned company into crowd she said:
Charlie, what you thinkin' about?"
"Oh, lam just thinkin' the same you
are"
Then the maiden jumped to her feet
and, assuming alapping attitude, said:
'Charlie, if you come near me Pll just
slap you in the face real hard, SO Will. "
The Colonel cav the state of affairs
then and fled.
The Police Committee Meets.
The subcommittee of the Council Com
mittee on Police, appointed at the last
session of the full committee to look into
the pracGcability and utility of the Offer
of Mr.. A. Reymsnn tc present the city
with patrol wagon and horse, the vehicle
to be fully equipped as an ambulance, met
at the City Hall yesterday afternoon,
where they met Chief Of Police Delbrugge
and Chief of the Fire Department
Dunning About two hours was
spent in visiting the various
localities which have been spoken of as
available sites for the wagon and horse,
and after full delibeIation the committee
decided TO recommend that frame build
ing, fifteen by twenty-five feet in dimen
sioDs and ten feet high be erected in the
City Hall yard, where the wagon and outft
could be kept, under the immediate super.
vision of the Chief, and available for instant
use. A fire alarm gong, and an electric
bell communicating with the private office
of Chief Delhrugge, would be but in the
house, and the building fitted up in q
modest hut effective way, the total cost Of
which, il WAS thought, would be inside oil
$3.50 Chief Dunning said it would cost
800 per year to feed the horse, and the
committee was of opinion that man to
take charge of the wagon by day and care
for the horse could he had for $50 per
month, making the total cost 500 per an
nun; the night man in the Office aking
out the wagon during his watch. This
would not he an objection, in the eyes Of
the committee, IS the night Lieutenant
often has to leave the building under the
present system, TO answer telephone calls,
etc
The committee was unanimous in it's
recommendation.

Further Objections to the Twelfth Street
Sewer.

~ VIC LutO VI W. ~'sSN'
SIR: l saw two communications In
your paper to-day in regard to the i've
foot sewer on Twelfth street. am thor
oughly in accord with the ideas advanced
by both writere. am somewhat inter
ested on Twelfth street and have consulted
Others who own property on the street,
and there seems to be unanimity OF SEN
timent in opposition to the sewer. SO
emphatic is the opposition to the expendi-
ture of 80 large a sum of money in pub.
lie improvement which it is believed will
be valueless, that one or two property
holders are talking seriously Of getting out
an Injunction restraining the authorities
from proceeding with the work. am in
favor of paving the street and renewing
the curb, setting it higher, or lowering
the grade 20 as TO make the curb higher
than now, if we have the money to do 1t
with. Let the water flow to the river over
the surf.ce of the street.

AWheelInr Man Abroad.

A recent issue of the Brooklyn Times
contained The following concerning we'll
known Wheeling citizen, Mr.. Charles A.
Wingertsr, who has been attending the
session of the 'Loyola Union" there:
"Before Mr.. Kelley would entertain q
motion for adjournment or permit the as
sembage to dispense, he wanted them to
hear from young visitor from Wheeling,
w. Va, Mr.. Charles A. WiDgerter. That
gentleman arose and seemed thoroughly
surprised by requc1t for a speech. He
wes a trifle nervous. but had spoken only
q moment or two when he sho wed himself
thoroughly selfposlessed. He made a
very telling address and aroused the MEM
bers to enthusiasm. In the course of his
remarks he dwelt on the conflict that he
said was impending in the country between
license and law and order, and declared
that when that conflict opens the great
conservative force will be found in the
Catholic Church, and her members will be
found on the side of true citizenship. In
Just such societies as the LOyOla, he con-
tinued, will true, patriotic, devoted citi-
zens be found.'n
