NO LOVE BETWEEN THEM.

The Chances of the b. & o. and South Penn
Roads Connecting Are Slim.
Little stock is taken by local railroad
men in the reports from the East that the
Baltimore and Ohio officials have been con-
ferring with the South Penn people, with
view to connect the two lines, if the South
Penn is ever built,a Connellsville or Rock
wood, there by making the B. & o. 30 miles
shorter to Philadelphia. An attempt was
made to see Superintendent Patton, but he
couldn't be found.
Said one official of the Baltimore & Ohio
who is we'll posted: 81 don't believe there
is any truth in the talk. It is well known
that the relations between the two COM
panies have always been strained and from
what can hear on the inside, they have
not been patched up. In addition the South
Penn is blocked in the courts, and it is
doubtful if the line will ever be constructed.

The North Allegheny Electric Railway
Company is an institution that has been
organized quietly, but very speedily and
effectively, and is already almost ready to
begin work before some people even on the
line have caught on. The corporators are
James w. Breen, j. J. Flannery, Hon.
John O'Neil, Robert S. Frazier, Esq, Fred
erick Switter, D. o. Barr and another, whose
name could not be learned.
The road will connect with the present
Observatory Hill line at Barns tavern,
and will run to Cemetery lane. The corpor-
ators say they are assured of paying
patronage from the start, and the road is
certain be productive OF much building out
that way, making an extension of the
NorthsIde. When it is completed strangers
visiting the city can get into car at the
Postofice and ride in street cars right into
the heart of busy petroleum producing
center. This is something that cannot be
said by any other large city in the United
States.

THE NEW BRIDGE PROGRESSING.
How the Outside Iron shell is Being Built
Around the Wood Structure.

Around the Wood structure.
Work on the new iron Ninth street bridge
has so far progressed as to show the general
outline of the work. The contractors for
the new bridge which is building for the
PleaFant Valley line are Schultz & Son, of
the Iron City Bridge Company. The task
set them is to build the new iron bridge
while the old wooden bridge continues in
use. The manner in which this is being
done is interesting. The new bridge is no
wider than the old one, but as the work
progresses the footwalk on either side is re-
moved, allowing room for the outside grid
ers and triangles. After this outer walk is
removed the new bridge is built as a sort of
shell over the old bridge.
The piers have been strengthened by new
stone work, and in the place where the loot
walk ran tramway is placed. On this
tramway an immense scafolding, spanning
the whole bridge, is run on wheels. This
scaffolding has four wheels on either side,
and will be run from one point to another as
needed. 1t is used in lifting heavy
structural iron to place. The electric cars
are now run slowly across the bridge, being
required to make the trip in not less than
two minutes.

Inspector mckelvy Threatened With Suits

She speak-easy crusade on the Southside
has met with an obstacle in the Twenty
seventh ward. Some of the residents claim
the officers have no right to search their
houses without search warrant, and ap-
piled to Alderman Hartman in regard to
the matter. The Alderman agreed with
them, and it is stated that Thomas H. Davis,
ESQ.,, has been retained to enter suits, if
such action is finally decided upon.
Inspector McKelvy says his officers were
instructed to ask admittance to any place in
which they mad reason to believe liquor was
illegally sold, and, il they were refused ad-
mittance, to report the fact. They have
used no force or gone beyond their instruc-
tons. He said he hardly expected obstruc-
tion from an Alderman in suppressing
speak-easies, but did not blame Alderman
Hartman, as he would get fee if suits were
entered.
