The dire effects of careless and indis-

East Wheeling Last night about ten
O'Clock Christian Hasenauer, who lives ON
the southwest corner of Eighteenth and

TWO of his daughters, when he was sud

followed by q sound as of crashing glass.
As there is considerable shooting going on
in this section. ordinarily little attention IS
paid 10 il. but last night the report sounded
So near the house that MIR HaSenauer IN

uumindful of the awful danger in which
Sue was p!accd. The girl fortunately es-
caued uuinjured, but it was one Of those
narrow escapes that makes one sludder 10
think of. and the daughter was naturally
somewhat nervous when informed of her
perilous position. An effort was made yes
terdav 10 ferret out the offender, but so far
without success. The shot was probably
an accidental one but this practice Of fill
inc the air with cold lead in compact parts
of the city should be severely condemned,
and the offenders. if caught, should receive
the fun measure of the law.

THE TRUSS IN PLACE.
The Last Bolt Driven Home at One
O'Clock, Yesterday.

The workmen employed in putting up the
truss for the channel span Of the Union
railroad bridge worked like Trojans yes
terdav morning, and at ten minutes past
one in the afternoon the last bolt in the
last piece OF steel was placed in position
and secured, and the big truss, seventy
five feet high and five hundred and twenty
five feet long, was complete. The event
was celebrated by great blowing Of
whistles and cheering, and the rejoicing
among the men was continued for quite a
while
The span will now sustain itself. even
should the entire false work be carried
away from any cause, and as soon as the
floor system is put in the bridge will be
complete, so far as construction is con-
ccrned, except some minor details which
would not interfere with the passage of
trains should it be necessary to get them
over. II will probably take "A week or so to
put in the floor system, and that done, ties
will be put in place, the rails laid, and the
false work torn away.

The New Market House.

The Council Committee ON Markets mel
last evening and opened the bids for the
new market house in the Fifth ward, ac-
cording to the plans and specifications OF
Architect Franzheim and adopted by the
committee. There were six bids, four for
the erection of the entire building and two
for parts of il. An examination Of the fig
ures showed that they were all considerably
in excess of the allowance Of $500 made
by Council, and the Committee withheld
the figures until the architect should go
over the plans and cut down the building
until it should fall within the limits fixed
by the appropriation. When this is done
the bidder will consult with the architect
and revise their figures.
1t was said last evening that one OF the
bids was as high as So, 600, although others
were much lower.
