The paper dealt with the conditions I'M

The writer took strong ground in favor OF
state and governmental interference in the
event Of such disasters as that of the Cone

To the Editor OF the Register:
SIR-Is Councilman Seeley, as agent OF
the steel bridge combination, entirely lose
ing sight of the interests Of his own pe0-
pile? Two weeks ago he objected to the
consideration Of the bridge ordinsrc,
which contained clause asking for loan
of SIS, 900, and which included another
clsuse TO lie. the voters decide what kind
of q bridge they wanted. Mr. S'eley's cb
lection compelled the ordinance TO lay over
two weeks. When it came up on last Tues
day night he advocated an ordinance that
contained clause asking for $3.50, 600 10
build bridge. Why could ne not let
the fl ret ordinance 20 through, and let the
people decide what they want without all
this delayP And we are just where Mr..
Seeley left us at the time he obi scted. Mr..
sesley is not making friends very rapidly
by such tactics. heard that be told one
Councilman in order TO get his vote, that
he 1.-THE Councilman would get chance
to paint IL, meaning an iron bridge. but if
stone bridge were built it would never
need to be painted. Well, that is all
very true no doubt. Bat / hope Mr..
Seeley will first let us decide for ourselves.
He has always posed as a great friend OF
the people-s great Democrat. Here ia q
chance for him to let the public see from
how near the hear. comes his Boosted
friendship for the dear people.

SlR.-The reason why stone bridge
would be better than steel or iron bridge,
is that in the first place all the stone
work would be cut here; it will give work
to people at home; hauling this stone, and
all the woIkmen that cone here Will
board here, and spend their money here.

What a Citizen Says.

To The Editor Of he Register:
SIR:-In reading your editorial in this
mornings paper ID reference TO the pro-
posed bridge across Wheeling creek on
Main street, l extend TO You vote OF
thanks for your manly course in exposing
the scheme of certain steel bridge man in
Council. l have heretofore been in favor
of steel structure, but l have had my
eyes completely opened as to this matter.
Ia the first place, if any sane man would
stop ard think for moment why any per-
son would 90 to the expense Of visiting a
foreign city and securing plans aud speclh-
cations for the proposed steel bridge, and
also spending considerable time in hunt
ing up members of Council and taking
them to the City Clerks office and exhb-
ting to them the plans Of the proposed
steel bridge, doing this all at his own ex-
pense. In my opinion there ia niger in
the wood piles omewhere, and that it is
very big ore. -.
Council never asked for plans or specif-
cations for steel bridge, but stone struc-
ture they did, which they received at the
city's expense. No one supposes for a
moment that firm will 90 to the trouble
and expense in getting up plans and speci-
fications Of a steel bridge without being
recompensed for them, unless, ss l have
said before, that there is a niger in the
wood pile. Mr.. Seeley, in Council, in
speaking to his resolution, said that his
figures were from Ferris, Kaufman & Co +,
the only organization Of civil engineers in
the world. This is very largs territory for
Mr.. Sseley to engage in with his epgi-
neers. According to DIR. Seeley's idea no
person can construct bridges but the firm
stated by him. Wonder who constructed
the Brooklyn bridge, the s.. Louis bridge,
also the bridge under construction by the
Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Railway
Company of this city. l might mention
from history 6 hundred other bridges
which were built before any Of the mem
bers of the firm of Ferris, Kaufman & Co.

for moment he would know that Ferris,

steel bridges, would not care to give fair

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10.-There has
reached this city through private
channel the thrilling story of the loss of
the British steamship Westburne, in
the Black Sea. Of the vessels crew
of twenty-five, four are all that
survive the ill-sJarred voyage and these
are miserable wrecks of humanity,
lying prostrated by suffering in an
Odessa hospital under the care of
the British consul. The WestDurne,
an ordinary tramp steamship. left
TheOdosia, southeast of Crimea, Nov.
"a. laden with linseed. bound to Dun
XIX and thence to Philadelphia, with
a general cargo. On the eve of
her departure a gale peculiar
to the Black sea alone arose,
The weather grew intensely cold that
the men were frozen to death in life
like posture at the wheel, or wher-
ever their duty called them. Every
sea that swept over the vessel froze
to her, making her sluggish and SO
heavy that she refused to ride the waves
and became unmanageable. When the
water gaided entrance to the hold the
cargo began to swell and burst open the
decks fore and aft as though powder
had exploded in her interior.
About midnight. although only few
hours out OF port, the vessel began to
go down. Already the corpses of
number of the seamen were visible
about the deck, standing up against
the hand rails. just as erect as
though in full vigor-they were frozen
as hard as iron. With all the crew that
still held fast to their lives, Capt. Ben
nington put out small boat and head
ed her back to Theodosia, dis
tant then some fifty miles. During
the early morning the men died off one
by one, until on reaching Theodosia,
the following night, the number
was reduced to eight. Subsequently
four more died while undergoing medical
treatment, leaving but four Survivors.
Capt. Bennington, the commander of
the Westburne. is well known to Phila-
delphia shipping men. He is complete
ly prostrated by his sufferings in the
open boat and by the death of his
brother, the ships chief officer, who
perIshed of the awful cold before his
ewes.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1O.-The select
committee appointed to investigate GER
tain charges against Gen. Raum, COM
missioner OF pensions, met to-day. Mr..
Lewis, a Democratic member of the
committee, offered resolution reciting
that on the 4th of December, 1890, it
was charged on the floor of the house
by Representative Cooper, of Indiana,
that. during the last election, Commits
SIoner Raum. now under investigation
before the commission, visited Coop
er's district and engaged in such
practices as tended to degrade
the public service and to pros
titute the Office which he
held, and providing that the commit tee
take testimony concerning said charges.
/ he resolution was defeated by party
vote of to l. Mr.. Flick said that he
voted against the resolution for the rea
son that, in his Judgment, it was mat
ter that should be presented to the
house by the party introducing it and
making the charge, and that the house
should instruct what action should be
taken. Mr.. Lewis thereupon offered
resolution requesting the chairman of
the committee to present tn the house
the resolution to investigate certain
charges by Representative Cooper
against Commissioner Raum, as to his
conductin the late canvass in the In
diana district, and requesting authority
to investigate the same. This resolu-
ton was also defeated by the same vote,
MIR. Flick giving the same explanation
of his negative vote. The committee
will meet again Saturday.
