BRIDGEPORT.

On Christmas night, George HObensack,
the engineer in charge % the new Stirling
boilers at the Etna mill, through some I'M
accountable negligence, allowed the water
supply TO become exhausted in battery No.
3. He continued firing away until not only
the water tubes or pipes were melted, but
some of the fire brick lining and cast iron
work melted from the intense heat. The
large smoke stack from this battery became
red hot fthe lurid flames issuing above the
stack, and setting the roof beams on fire.
The men at the mill seeing the danger, with
rare tact and skill, soon eXtingulshed the
fire. The accident will throw off part OF
the mill for about ten days until new tubes
can be procured to replace the old ones de-
stroyed.
The deep snow has kept the switching
engines of both the G. II II. and C.. l.. "
W. railroads from the warehouse of the
Aetna mill.
Floyd Rogers. a colored man. took a
friendless and poor white woman into his
house who was near confinement. He eX-
pected the man in fault to put up the cash
to pay expenses or else get his pay from
the township funds. The man seems TO be
a worthless fellow, having no money, and
the township officer refuses 10 pay. 1t
looks as if Rogers would not get wealthy
from this project, aud he now wants the
woman TO leave. She has fine daughter
three days old
Charles W. Alexander, colored. was mar
ried Christmas night 10 Miss Hulda a.
Moore, a beautiful white girl, eighteen
wears of age This is very common about
Bridgeport, there being more than dozen
colored men with white wives.
Yesterday was pay day at the Etna
mill.
As a result>o the test of the chemical
engine some time ago here, the ftna mill
have adopted it and purchased twelve.
Smith x Sons together with Lorenzo
Spence, of Martins Ferry, will erect Il

town. They have already ordered ma
chnery necessary for the same, and will
put the same in place early this coming
spring These enterprising gentleman de-
serve great credit and encouragement in
this their new venture.
There seems 10 be something wrong with
! the Office of Street Commissioner, not only
! in Bridgeport, but in other towns of Ohio.
He does what he pleases, hires whom he
| likes. uses his own carts, works one man
or more a day as he wishes, presents his
bill and draws his pay. The Council has
Street Committee, but il does no good
The Council orders all improvements "a
stop and that all work on the streets shall
cease, but the Street Commissioner keeps
straight on. No one examines or audits his
claims, but orders are given always for the
full amount Of his bills. Many think this
is a bad way of doing and likely to result
in leaks. Is there no way 10 check this
manner OF doing and have it done on bust
/ ness PRINCIPLES.

A Numerous Family.


We met prominent citizen on
the streets yesterday afternoon; he
had just returned from trip to
the neighborhood of New Harmony,
in Pike county, and told US SO.
We asked him what he had heard
or seen that was worthy of publica-
ton. He said, II heard nothing
at all and saw no one but the Brans-
letter family. Did you ever
Think - he continued, "about what
a large family there is by that
name? Yes, they are all the same
family and are scattered all over
Pike, Rails and Audrain counties.
They constitute very respectable
and prominent family, too, but it is
as hard to tell what relation one
Branstetter is to another as it is
to tell what relation a Kentucky
marriage made two families. Did
you read an account of that mar
riage? Well, Pll tell you about it.
ga widower in Harlan county,
Kentucky, (my old home) named
johnson, married Miss Snow the
other day. The same ceremony
united Johnson's son to Miss
Shows mother, who was a widow
After the ceremony was over the
elder Mr.. johnson found himself
to be the son-in law of his own sor
and the son-in-law of his daughter.
in-law. The younger Mr.. johnson
found himself to be the step-fathe1
OF his step-mother and father-in
law of his own father. The two
brides were equally related. The
widow was the daughter-in-law tt
her own daughter and daughter.in
law to her own son-in-law. Tht
iyoung bride was the mother-in-laV
to her own mother and step-mothe
to her step-father. Now, sir, i
you can figure out what relation
the offspring of that Kentuck,
union will be to each other mayb'
you can trace the relationship O

That Bread Trust.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
speaking .of the departure of the
troops from that city for the camp
of instruction here, among other
things, says;
The provisions for the boys
during their trip had been arrang-
ed for, but it had been proposed to
buy bread in Mexico. Yesterday,
however, Mayor Ferris wired that
the bakers had combined against
the camp and recommended that
bread be brought with them. The
recommendation was promptly
acted upon, and there will be an
abundance of the staff of life in
camp, the local bakers notwith-
standing.
Regarding the combine" Mayor
Ferris, who had charge Of the
commlssary contracting depart
ment, says he solicited bids for
furnishing bread to the soldiers
from both bakeries and that the
proprletors, upon consultation,
agreed to supply the same at 8 IL
cents per loaf. This was satis-
factory price to Mr.. Ferris and he
thought to equalize the business by
allowing each bakery to furnish
half the bread. This was all right
with the bakers, they said. Mr..
Ferris says &c suggested a written
oontraot had best be drawn up in
proper shape. This was agreed to
by both Mr.. Mckinley and Mr..
Patterson, but when the article ot
agreement was handed to Mr.. Fer.
ris later in the day, he found the
Iprioe had been raised to 4 cents
Iper loaf. Mr.. Ferris wouldn't
"stand the raise'' and sent to St
Louis for bread to feed the troops

contract of any sort made to furnish
