THE STONE BRIDGE.
The Contract Committee Stop Work, and
Extend the Time.


There was a meeting of the Council
Committee on Contracts, at the Office of
City Engineer White, last evening, made
necessary by the expiration of the time
set for the completion of the stone
bridge, and by the beginning of the
period when the penalty of $50 day
was to be enforced, under the original
contract. Chairman Ellingham set
fourth that by reason of the
causes mentioned in yesterdays REG
IsTEB, little progress in the con-
struction of the bridge had
been possible, although nearly all the
stone needed had been Qulrried and was
being cut, and he suggested it would be
proper, as the winter was approaching,
for the committee TO stop work on the
bridge until spring. City Engineer
Hoge was invited to make statement,
and did so. saying it was not possible TO
do good work during cold weather, that
IL would profit little to go on with the
excavation, when it was liable TO be
flooded at almost any time and much
extra work only made neces-
Sary, and he suggested that further
MOIh Ot SioHB'u hill Noe'
in the spring TO be hereafter
fixed by the committee. This was agree
able all around, and resolution order
ing the engineer to notify the c0ntrac-
tor to do no further work was adopted.
Then the question OF when the time
should be fixed for the completion of
the bridge came up, and was discussed
for quite IA while. Mr.. Hamilton favored
September /, 1891, as the extreme limit,
while others thought December /, 1891,
would be none too long. 4 long argu-
ment enSued, during which it was
pointed out by the engineers that
the bridge could scarcely be
completely finished by September lSt,
as after the arch was up, it would have
to stand long time before the centres
could be struck, and after that. there
would have TO be good deal of work in
the way of pointing and finishing up
generally. The centres ought to stand
under the arch at least three months
after it was up. The work might also
be DELAYED by high water. rains, &c.
Finally. the members of the committee
agreed on October Is, 1891. As a COM
promise date upon which work
on the bridge must be COM
pleted, under the $50 day forfeiture
clause, and resolution % that effect
was adopted. The action of the COM
mittee will make necessary some changes
in the contract. and the subject will be
submitted to City Solicitor White, who
will be asked to put the pa)erS in proper
shape. 1t was generally understood
that no more work would b. done before
March LIST, at least, but this. of course.
will depend very largely OF the wealth
er, and I may be sooner or a month or
more later.
The City Engineers ara making an
elaborate series of tests With cement,
many samples of which ar, undergoing
examination. and a testing machine IS in

and dated, are subjected To test for

MAscoUTAm, Ill, December IA
man of commanding appearance, about
% wears of age, and nicely dressed,
stopped at the residence of George Hot
tel, a farmer, south of this place, this
morning and asked for breakfast,
which he said he was willing to pay for.
While the farmers wife was prepar-
ing breakfast the stranger pocketed a
gold watch and small amount OF
money which were lying on a bureau In
an adjoining bedroom.
Mr.. Hotel subsequently went into the
room and discovered the theft. Tie
charged the gentlemanly stranger with
having them, and the latter promptly
covered him with his revolver and or
dered him to keep his mouth shut on
the penaity of being shot.
Mrs. Hotel then attempted to assist
her husband out of his predicament,
but was promptly knocked down by the
stranger. who made Hotel and his wife
sit opposite him at the table with their
hands behind them, while he quietly en-
loved his breakfast at his leisure.
Having appeased his appetite ne
coolly shook hands with the farmer ana
his wife. babe them an affectionate fare
