The new Wheeling bridge Company
yesterday gave another evidence that it
is thoroughly ia earnest in its intention
to connect this city with E.naville and
Martins Ferry by means of q bridge
over the Ohio river from the mouth Of
the Second Ward Market alley to Ohio
street, on the Island. and by n bridge
from the upper end OF the Island over
tho Back river 10 4Etnaviile, by paying
over to Messrs. Ferris 4 kaufman, Of
Pittsburgh, $4,000 in cold cash, that
amount being tho first inatallment on
the contract price OF the two bridges,
which is $4,000. Twenty thousand
dollars ought surely to be enough OF al,
earnest OF intentions to satisfy even the
most skcptical as 10 the building OF these
bridges. Messrs. Ferris \ Kaufman
have contracted to complete these two
bridges in ten months time, before the
first OF January, 1891, and their repnta.
ton for bridge building warrants the be-
liet that thoy can 'fulGll their CON.
tract easily. Up to the present
time there have been people who have
all along declared their disbelief in the
honesty Of the new company's expressed
intentlonsJ there Is no further room to
question that these people ought to now
hide their heads aud shut up. This
first payment is mostly to cover the pre-
liminary expenses, such as surveys and
drawings. -

ANOTHER NEW BRIDGE.
Tho c., l.. & W. Has Definitely Decided to
.rt Come to tho Island. st

r,g I Come to tho Island. l1.
It was learned yesterday on what. /,
believed 10 be the very best OF uuthorl.
ty, that the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheel.
Ing Railroad Company has decided to
build this coming summer the long con.
templated bridge over the Back river
from Kirkwood TO the Island. The in.
formation, as the INrELLiagScER gets II,
is that the Cleveland, Lorain Il Wheel.
Ing has definitely decided 70 build this
bridge, tho necessary action having
been had at a very recent meeting, and
thRtit does not propose to have any time
time wasted in getting onto the Island
and as near this city as soon rs possible.
The Intention Is to have the bridge
completed this coming summer, before
even the Union bridge or the bridges OF
tho new Wheeling Bridge Company nrc
up. The bridge to be contracted for
will be one that will accommodate not
only tho Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
trains, but also pedestrians and vchi.
Giles. In this as in all other
respects the scheme Is the one about
which 30 much has been said and writ.
ten and the desirability OF which Ia
patent to all. Included in the old
scbeme 1t WINS provided, as all those who
ever read up on the matter win remem.
Der, that the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheel.
ing tracks should run across the Island
to a point somewhere near the
private park Of Cept. John McLure'l
sitnaisd on the Island river bank op,
posite his house on South Front street.
Such a proposition goes with the con.
summation OF tho bridge idea. The
company will, i is understood, desire 10
build q station Oh tho Island near the
end OF the new bridge which the Wheel.
Ing Bridge Company is to construct.

Yesterday morning the driver Of Hen.
derson's milk wagon drove over plank,
which had been thrown out by the B. &
0. track men on Seventeenth street, in
such way as to upset the wagon. The
wagon is OF the cold weather pattern,
with doors and closed front. and when
it fell on it's side the driver could not get
out of his cage. Help came from the
outside, and he at last emerged, looking
as though he was soaked with water
and smeared with chalk, and presenting
horrible spectacle. The poor fellow
lost all his tactical fluid, and was SO angry
that he threatened to sue the Baltimore
4 Ohio Railroad Company for the dam.
age he sustained.

Still Uncompletot-T. "A. Little Gets III
80 Cuntrnrt Ror Gna Etytures

Still Uncompletod-T., "A. Little Gets the
Contract for Gas Fixtures. I,a.-
The bid Of Thomas Little for putting
In gas fixtures at the Custom House and
Postollico has been accepted by the
Government and tho work Is to be done
in aboutthree weeks time. Chandeliers
will DO put in all OF the rooms on the
second floor and the piping already in
the building Thoroughly overhauled and
repaired. The old wall lights and brack.
cts will also be replaced with new and
modern fixtures, The officials ut Wash.
ington having charge Of Government
buildings throughout the country, some
time since suddenly ordered Custodian
Bickcrton to discontinue the use OF the
electric light and 20 back to gas for
lighting purposes. There were no adc-
quate provisions for using gas and for
two Or three nights the Possotllee en-.
ployes had tough time Of it getting
along with the lights that could be TEN.
porarily rugged up till an order could be
obtained from Washington authorizing
the continued use Of the electric light
till gas fixtures could be put in.
The stair well, bay or "wart" on the
south end OF the building Is still in an
unfinished condition. Only part Of the
circular stair case leading to the second
story is in place, and to reach the offices
on that floor one has to pass over a
shaky wooden bridge. The stairs re.
main to be put in. also the guard rails
from top 70 bottom, ard then the plas-
tering and painting will have to be done.
Custodian Bickerton was advised by the
supervising Architect that Baldwin &
McCarty, the contractors, would have all
this work done by March 3, but not a
thing has been done siacs the receipt oil
that letter. The experience the Gov.
ernment has had with this firm on this
building is one that care should be taken
is never repeated.
