Hustllng Work on the Bridge.


The stone masons are pushing work
in the vest channel pier OF the new
Island bridge, and the caison Is already
perceptable lower in the water from the
weight placed on board 1t. The hrst
stone was laid about two o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, and when the men quit
work that evening about twenty stones
had been hoisted off the barge iowerea
into the caison. Yesterday many ad-
ditional stones were placed In position
and the work was prosecuted last night.
IL will not be long until the timbers are
snugly reposing on tops Of the piles.

New B. s. o. Yards.
Work on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company's freight yards at Bruins
wick, Nd, is progressing rapidly, ABOUT
five hundred men, mostly Italians, be-
ing employed. There is great deal OF
grading and tunneling yet TO be done'
and the yards will probably not be COM
pleted until winter. Real estate al
brunswick has constantly increased in
value since the yards were opened. and
many good deals have been made. The
clause in the new charter Of the town,
which makes it local option place, has
been established just outside the pro-

lance of the village.
Making Paving Brick at Bellaire.
Our neighborS at Bellaire have dem
onstrated that the fire clay everything the
six foot vein of coal makes the New Cum
berland fire brick in great perfection.
These bricks are of exactly the same
vitreous texture as those this city is
paved with. Several projects are ON
foot in Bellaire looking TO the manu-
facture of these bricks. One gentle
man a little west of that city, has a
kiln of about 1000 already burned.
Mr.. VIM. q. Barnard is also busy at
work arranging to begin, and in our
columns this morning is the advertise
ment of large company forming to do
business in coal, brick and cement.
The making of paving brick in this
valley is an important move in local
prosperity. This vein of fire clay is
from 10 to II feet thick and is very ac-
cessible, being just over the coal seam.
1t runs out entirely with the coal Of
course few miles up the river and Is
not gct-at-a-ble short distance below
Bellaire, so that within these limits the
manufacture OF paving brick must find
its most favored home.
The profit in paving brick-making is
said to be very large and the business is
Just at present in its infancy.

Here are a few old women's signs which may be

have two spoons in their cup, it is a sign that they
will figure prominently at a wedding before the

before the sugar. it will "cross your love a Tea

the stranger in it's gyratlons is attracted TO the

on Che state of the atmosphere as to whether the
stalk goes to the middle or not. II is Il sign OF far
