A movement is now on foot among the
local saloonkeepers to get Up q petition to
the courts asking for consideration Of the
license question at the earliest date possible
so as to know whether they can get licenses

That considerable activity is existing in

people have already been approached to go

COUNCILMAN cGRR's PLAN.
Avery Feasible Proposition to secure Free
Bridges.


Councilman Carr, of the Twenty-seventh
ward, will present resolution in Councils
next Monday authorizing the Mayor to call q
special election for February upon the ques-
ton Of issuing a million dollars worth Of
bonds for the purchase or construction of
bridge across the Monongahela river by the
city. There seems to be no question as to
the city's power to condemn and purchase
bridge property, and Mr.. Cars plan is con.
sidered to be very feasible.
''The act OF 1873" said Mr.. Carr yester-
day, provides for the appointment Of q
commission and the purchase or erection of
one or more bridges. do not know whether
this act will hold good under the new city
charter, but the charter provides for in
creasing the debt within the per cent
limit. The 81, ,0O0, 900 increase would be q
good entering wedge, and as soon as we get
one free bridge, others will soon follow"

ors in the fashionable drama had hosts of
friends, and the general rejoicings over the
happy event had been, therefore, not only
loud, but deep. Lady Flora Travers was
an orphan, young, lovely, lively-a little
too lively perhaps-and an heiress into the
bargain, on quite grand scale. Sir Fred
eric Blount was an orphan, too, young
handsome and quite abominably rich for a
man whose heart had gone out to an heiress;
and there hadn't been the slightest doubt
about the amount of heart thrown into the
affair; two people so utterly and entirely in
love had seldom (everyone agreed) been
seen. 1t was the most deliGiously romantic
thing all through. Society was charmed.
There wasn't a flaw in the little piece any,
where. 1t ran with a beatifc smoothness;
and Sir Frederic was so charming. Just a
soupcon of temper perhaps, but after all,
what then-one must have something.

him quite an ovation. They blessed Sir
