A GIGANTIC ENTERPRIsE.
Brooklyn Bridge to be Thrown I'm
the Shade,

BROOKLYN, October 27.-James An
drews, of Pittsburg, who has been in
New York several days, departed tonight
tor the west. He came here in connection
with the greatest engineering project of
modern times-the bridging of the Hud-
son river from the New Jersey and New
York shores.
To reporter tonight he said THE
bridge will certainly be built. The plans
have been completed by Engineer Lind
enthal, of Pittsburg, and pronounced by
the best engineering authorities as per-
fectly sound.
Beside this structure the Brooklyn
bridge will be mere toy. The bill for
permission to bridge the Hudson River
has already been drawn up, and will be
presented to Congress by New York
member carly in the coming session.
1t will be a wonderful structure giving
a route to land all western freight in the
heart OF New York City. The bridge
will have six railroad tracks. The
Brooklyn bridge is supported by two
thirteen inch cables; this will have four
each of which will be four feet in diane
ter. The span of the new bridge will be
$500 feet in the rear, and will be $50
feet above high water mark. The piers
will be wonderful masses of masonry,
500 feet high and broad and deep. The
bridge will cost about $1S,0OO,OOO, and
the New York end will be located some
where between Fourteenth and twenty
sixth streets. Those who are to build
the bridge are largely railroad men from
New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg.

rived to-day. Her captain says that yes

making port. The request was denied.

and its crew narrowly escaped destruc-
ton. The schooner was left to her fate.

a PROMINENT SUICIDE.
oliver Garrison of st Louis
Blows His Brains Out.

ST LOUIS, August 2S.-Oliver Garrison,
one of the oldest and most prominent of
st Louis citizens, committed suicide late
this afternoon in Forest Park by shoot
ing himself through the head. For some
time past he had been suffering from
kidney trouble, and during the past four
years has not attempted to attend to
any business. Despondency at his in
durable ailment is undoubtedly the cause
of his self destruction. He was born in
New York in 1910 and came to St. Louis
in 1915. He and his brother built the
first steamboat to ply between st. Louis
and New Orleans. For some time he
engaged in the steamboat business on
the Pacific Coast with his brother,
Commodore Garrison. He amassed con-
siderable wealth and in 1857 was elected
president of the Mechanics bank, in which
position he served for twenty-five years.
He took the Missouri Pacific railroad
ou. of the receivers hands and was its
vice president until the road was sold to
lay Gould.

CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business i'm the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October 2S.-Trading was
only moderate in wheat, ill fact during
most OF the session the market was quiet.
The opening was tame and the feeling
slightly weaker, but under good buying
stronger feeling developed and pr,ces
were advanced 3sa12c., then weakened,
and prices declined34a1sc. and closed 2sc.
lower for December and lsc. lower for
May than the closing figures of Satur-
day. May again held up better than
December, and the premium widened,
ranging early 3@sa334c. over December.
and later 31sa4c. over The visible sup
ply to-day formed one of the principal
features on the market. Early in the
day it was estimated thar the increase
would not be asl large as had been calcu-
lated upon Saturday, in fact the first fig
ures showed only a small increase in
stocks, and this had strengthening
effect. But later as the returns began to
show larger increase there was more
disposition to realize, but not until after
the figures were posted did the market
break to the inside point.
A fair speculative trade was transacted
in corn within a higher range Of prices.
Near futures in particular, were quite
firm, distant deliveries showing but little
change. The market opened at about
Saturdays closing prices, was firm, and
advanced 12c., in all receded little, ruled
firm, and closed 1sal2c. higher than Sat
urday.
Oats were slow and without features
OF interest. Fyw outside orders were re-
ceived, and business centred entirely in
December anu May, particularly in the
latter, and prices remained steady.
There was only fair trading reported
i'll mess pork; the feeling was compar-
atively steady, and for November deliv
cry prices averaged a trihe higher.
Lard was a little stronger, October
was in fair demand and sold 2Oa25c. ad-
vance, due to a a"squeeze" undercOntracts
claimed to be held by the rehner and ex-
porter. Other deliveries were steadier
but not materially higher.
Short ribs were not much traded in,

questions as to the location OF the rooms
in the flats, Mrs. Conklin proceeded to
tell the story of how the doctor was
called away from her house on the night
of May 4. She said, that at 72O o'clock
p. M, stranger who seemed nervous
and excited, rang the door bell; and when
she opened the door he inquired for DR..
Cronin. He seemed very reluctant to
enter, but finally did so. When told that
the doctor was engaged with other
patients the stranger took a seat i'll the
waiting room. When DR.. Cronin came
out of his office, the man advanced and
said: "Dr. Cronin you are wanted to
attend man who has been hurt at

"Oh! yes, what is the nature of the ac-
cident?"
He said: 1.-The man has been run over

possible, he left, running out, carrying
these things and his case under his arms.

door. heard them running down the
stairs.
The witness continued her testimony,
saving that she then went to the window
overlooking the street and saw a buggy
with white horse attached standing be-
fore the door. DR.. Cronin and the man
who called for him got into the buggy,
which was then driven northward. The
man seemed anxious to get way.
She gave description of the man who
came for the Doctor, told the story of the
proceedings of the day after Cronin' dis
appearance, and was cross examined at
great length by Mr.. Forrest.

"THE DAILY REBEL"
A Typographical Relic of the
Late UnpIeasantness.

Late Unpleasantness.
We interested in fac simile copy of a
little paper with the above title, published
in Chattanooga during the war. The
copy we have bears date August 9, 1862
and is four page, four column sheet and
without single business advertisement
Its news is chiefly war news, the chief
State news being an account taken from
the Knoxville Register of the assassina-
ton of Col. Vim. R. Caswell six miles
east of Knoxville. Among the general
items is the arrest of Clement c. Vallan-
bingham, in company with the Rev. Dr.
Brooks, of St. Louis, and Rev. D. Hoyt,
of Louisville, at the house, as the New
York Tribune says, of a notorious rebel,
Judge Clark, of Ohio" The war news is
not striking. We observe in The Rebel
strain of hopeiulncss of the close of the
war, based upon the idea that the Yam
KEGS" were very tired of it, and that de-
sertion from their army was species OF
epidemic. We note this as a piece of po-
litlcal news, received from the North via
Mobile: A democratic convention met in
Indianapolis July 80 Fifty thousand
were i'll attendance, the largest ever held
in the State. Governor Hendricks pre-
sided; Wickliffe, Of Kentucky, Richard
son, VOORHEES, and Carlisle were present.
The prosecution of the war was de-
nounced, so was Subjugation and coer-
cion, and also emancipation in any form.
The fac simile copy is published by
Louis l.. Parham, Chattanooga, Tenn,
at 25 cents a CODY.

report of Mondays market says:
Cotton futures opened at some decline
under the failure of the frost predictions
of Saturday to be realized, but partially
recovered when it was seen that there
had been some frost, after all, even as far
South as middle Texas; but nobody was
inclined to act upon them, and the
market soon weakened again, the close
being at about the lowest figures of the
day. The October corner was maintained
with great vigor, carrying the price to

nominal. Middling uplands 1OI2, gulfs

THE JAY BIRD.
A Plea for This Inhabitant of Our
Lofty Oaks.

Our man about town" is nervous
about the jay bird, and is ready to turn
all the small boys loose upon him. We
have word to say about the jay. He
is bird of beautiful plumage; and if his
voice is not full of dulcet notes, it is full
of hearty life and enjoyment And it is
not always harsh and clamorous; for il
any one has watched it as it gathers in
social groups among the dense foliage OF
lofty oaks, creeping rather than jumping
from bough to bough, his ear will be de-
lighted with the soltest and sweetest of
musical notes, the outpouring of tender
attectionate feeling. Nor can complaint
be made here in the city of what really is
harsh and grating in the noisy clamor OF
the jay out in the country, where he is a
rascally corn thief and pillager of fruit,
and always in the way Of the hunter try
ing to steal a shot on some bird or suuir-
rel; and in the country the jay has no
friends. But when he comes to town mis-
voice is subdued and his habits more
honest, and we thank him for his confd-
ing familiarity, and also for his ability
to hold his own with the bullying Eng
lish sparrow.
The negroes when they had supersti-
tions-they have become too learned for
such weakness-used to attach a very
sinister character to the jay bird 1t was
under allegiance to the Old Boy; and
every Friday dutiiully paid its
visits to the lower regions in token OF
fealty to the internal sovereign. All the
Jay birds disappeared that day, but came
back on Saturday more noisy than ever
