THAT BRIDGE PROBLEM.
The Case of the State versus Wood Count
Commissioners Begun.

Commissioners Begun.
Speciai telegram 10 tie Register
CHARLESTON, w. VA, March 10
The Supreme Court of Appeals to-day
heard arguments in the case of State
against Beckwith and others, Commits
sionerS of the County Court of Wood
county. In 1855 the county bridge
across Little Kanawha river at Parkers-
burg was washed away. The Commits
sionS of the County Court then contrac-
ted with an Ohio company for the
building of new Superstructure upon
the old abutmentS. Then the Secretary
of War gave notice that no bridge would
be allowed at that location except at an
elevation of 81 feet above low water,
which was Is feet above the former
bridge. The old bridge had been at the
foot of Market street. After the warn
ing of the Secretary of War, the
Commissioners determined to change
the location To Julian street, 40 yards
west of Market and i'm July 1889 COM
menced work there.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad then
claimed that il owned the foot of Julian
street. and enjOined work at that point
by suit i'm the United States Court in
October. 1889 The County Commits
decided TO build bridge across
the river at a point Objectionable to the
railroad and To condemn site at Julian
street. The railroad company promptly
withdrew objections To Julian street
when it found il would be touched in
spot if it stood upon the victory
it had gained in the Federal court. Ii
conceded a location on Julian street,
the site first selected by the Commits
and the work was again started.
The next move was proceeding by
citizens who We're interested in keeping
a bridge at Market street. They ap-
piled TO the Circuit Court of Wood cOun-
ty for mandamuS which was allowed
the Commissioners TO re-
build at Market street where the form
er bridge had stood and fOrbidding the
building of bridge at Julian street
where the Commissioners had decided it
was best TO build il. From this opinion
the Commissioners appealed and the APP
pellate Court held the case to be of such
public emergency that il should be
heard at the special term and it was
.huS to-day given precedence. The
counsel for the Commissioners are Gov.
J B. jackson and B. NJ Amber and for
he REALTORS, Hon. j. G.. McCluer and
James VI. jackson, all of ParkerSburg.

SERMON ON HIS son.
Rev. DIR. Dudley's Address on the Eau
Claire High school Affair.

Rev. DIR. Dudley's auuress on '"o '""
Claire High School Affair.
EAU CLAIRE, WIS, March l5.-The
Rev. DIR. Dudley, pastor the First Con-
gregational Church, appeared before the
Board of Education last night and de-
livered an address on the case OF his son,
viii Dudley, who was hazed by mem
bers of the Senior class in the High
School and had large patch of his
hair cut off and his clothes torn.
DIR. Dudley said that the insult out
rage and humiliation were bad enough
but the barbarous system OF hazlng
which had been practiccd in the high
school for two years was disgrace.
There was a reason, he said, why re-
spectacle young men committed acts
which made them criminals, and that
they lay in wrong System of manage
ment of schools, the childish arrange
ment of giving half-holidays because
pupils were not tardy.
The address created sensation. Inc
Board adopted resolutions reprlmand-
ing the hazers, several OF whom are
Young men of the first families, and di-
recting them to apologize.

Arrival of ROYALTY.

BERLIN, March 13.-One or two artfully
written paragraphs in the social announce
ments of the newspapers give the informa-
ton that Prince Hartzfeldt and his Prin-
cess CLARA Huntingdon may be expected
here shortly. There is not the slightest
social fiutter over the news. In fact the
chances of the Prince and Princess getting
any recognition at all in court circles are,
as we say in America, very slim. We
have been hearing some queer stories here
for the past few weeks about the Princes
heavy losses at the Cerclc in Paris. We
hear also that he received the cut direct
from Count Munster at reception given
by Minister Whitelaw Reid. This snub 10
the Prince was more marked because
Count Munster spoke for some minutes
with the Princess Hatzfeldt and observed
afterwards to a mutual friend that he adj
mired her very much

AN OBLIGING CLERK.
He Gives Change for Ten Dollar COnfed-
ate Note.

Special telegram 10 the Sunday Register.
MASON CITY, w. VA, March 15.-It
has come to pass that Confederate
money is current in the great State of
Ohio. Last night a troupe was playing
Ten Nights in a Bar-rOom,' at Pome-
roy, i'm that State. and there was large
crowd on the street. About o'clock a
gentleman stepped into the jewelry
store of w. A. Archer. on Front street,
and under the blaze of an electric light,
laid down a teu-dOllar Confederate note
and asked IA clerk to change it. The
obliging clerk did so, giving him
ten silver dollars and deposited the bill
i'm the till. where il was discovered some
time after by the proprietor. But the
gentleman representing the treasury de-
partment of the So-callcd Confederate
government had gone. To-day diver
Sity of legal opinion is heard regarding
the course of procedure. The bill was
not counterfeit and he did not obtain
the money under false pretenSe. n civil
action for the recovery of money seems
To be the only mode of procedure in
case the party can be found.

A FREE BRIDGE:
Toll Taken OF the Great Il. 6 o. Bridge at
Parkersburg.

ParkerSburS.
S,ecial telegram TO the Sunday Register.
PARKERsBURG, March 15.-Ever since
the great Baltimore and Ohio bridge
across the Ohio river at this point was
constructed. tolls have been charged on
all trains crossing IT, The explanation
of this lies i'm the fact that the bridge Is
not owned by the b. Il o. Company out
by private individuals supposed to be
the Garrett family.
III has been great source OF revenue
10 its owners, but the b. N .. people
have complained that the tolls charged
have diverted east-bound business TO
other roads. and that immense amounts
of freight intended for Washington
Philadeldhia and New York is given to
other roads because of the tolls at the
Parkersburg bridge.
Within the past few days arrange
ments have been made by which the
bridge is to be made free for all business
going eastward TO Baltimore, New YORK
anc Philadelphia, but the tolls remain
ON all west-bound business as heretofore;
1t is said that through business VIII
be greatly increased at ParkerSours
because of this change.

NEW PHASE OF THE STORY.
Rufalo People Think Burchell is the Fa

Ruffalo People Think Burchell Is the IA
nous Lord Courtney"
RrFFALo, y. Y, March l5.-Therc Is
still another sensation in the case OF
Burchell, the alleged murderer OF Ben
well.
There are indications that he is no
other than Lord Hugh Leslie Court
nev. of the British Navy, whom many
New York swells have good cause to re-
member.
Lord Courtney made his first appear
ance as a member of the aristocracy IN
philadelphia several years ago, where
the most exclusive people could not do
enough for him. He lived royalty and
borrowed right and left. Soon after he
fascinated Long Branch and Newport.
His social triumph in Buffalo is a sore
noint here, too. Suddenly he disap-
neared, and later, under another name,
swindled Montreal merchant out of
large sum. ..
The last heard of Lord Courtney
was from England, where he had been
taken to be tried for forgery. Phila-
dclphia detectives are reported TO be
working on the case.

GOOD MONEY GONE.

SPECIAL Telegram TO the Sunday Register.
PARKERsBURG, March 15.-The po-
lice officers have thoroughly investi-
gated the case of the robbery of old
man NJ. A. Cotton, of Vaucluse, in this
city Wednesday night. John Taylor
was the man who did the business, and
has skipped the country.
1t was bold robbery, in the waiting
room of the Ohio River passenger de-
pot, but il was easily accomplished, as
Cotton was in maudlin condition. 1t
is not probable that he will see his good
$500 pension money again.
1t is certain that gang of five or six
men deliberately planned the robbery,
got Cotton drunk, and Taylor, as the
agent of the gang, went through him.
The money was divided and Taylor was
assisted To escape.
