AFTER BRIDGES.
Rivermen VIII Have Several Structures
over the Ohio Torn Down.


PUr>BURC, November l0-ProiectorS
OF bridges over navigable waters are IN
trouble. \ recent act of Congress will
probably seriously interfere with bridges
now being constructed. The Act may
also compel the notifications Of plans Of
bridges 20 be built iu the future. This
Act was adopted in September last. In
substance. the Act gives the Secretary
War the power 20 require the removal
Of any bridge, no matter under what
charter built. which may be deemed an
obstruction TO navigation; and that no
bridge shall be started or erected in any
navigable stream unless the plans are
first submitted 90 and approved by the
Secretary of War.
The river men to-day TOOK steps to
object 10 bridges now under course Of
construction across the MOnOngahela
and Ohio rivers. They claim that the
bridge OF the McKeesport Il BeSSemer
road and the wagon bridge projected at
MckeeSpOrt do and viii obStruct navi-
cation, aud the Secretary of War will
De asked 20 So decide and order change
Of plans. The bridge st CercdO over
the Ohio river will also Dc the subject
oi similar complaint.
1t is held by the river men that under
this act no false work or piling or any
substance eau be erected in the channel
of a navigable stream 10 support pOr-
tiOnS Of bridge under construction,
and that therefore all new bridges must
be either of the cantileyer type or built
under some other plan which offers no
obstruction.
Mr.. :. G. WeiSkOpf, engineer Of the
McKeesport and BeSsemer bridge, was
asked TO explain his construction of the
act. IL don't believe, said he, ''that
the erection OF the false work will be
prevented, or that the plans of bridges
already projected will De interlered
with"
Mr. WciSkopf declined to say whether
or not any changes will be necessary in
the plans Of the bridge I'm which he is
Interested. That is NATTER he
said. upon which am not at liberty
90 speak.
II II. Swaney. Esq, who is inter
,,ted I'm the McKeeSport wagon bridge,
was not at his Office at the time he was
Icallcd upon, and 10 IS not known,
therefore, what the opinion of his COM
Aur is.

The Treasury VIII Relieve the Market.

WASHINGTON, November lO.-Secre-
tary Window was kept fully advised Of
the condition Of the money market to-
day, but did not feel called on to take
any action in the matter beyond the
purchase of all the silver bullion that
was offered TO the department. The di-
rector of the mint said this was done for
the relief Of the market. The available
Treasury cash balance will be used
principally in the redemption of the
AZ per cent loan. The Secretary's
offer of October Q, to redeem this class
OF bonds on presentation at par, with
interest to maturity, September l, 1891,
is still open. The bonds are coming in
very slowly, however, and the total re-
demption to date is less than five mil
lion dollars

JAY Gould's Opinion.

New YORK, November 10.-Mr. Jay
Gould was asked this afternoon TO give
his views in regard to the great fail of
prices in Wall street. Mr.. Gould said;
There is, of course, as anyone can see
by looking at the prices, very great
depression, but there is no doubt that
the market would have righted itself if
the trouble in London had not come up.
How much farther things will go do
not know. only know that any one
who has the courage to buy now and the
patience to wait will make money. So
far as know anything about the differ
ent properties-especially those that
am interested in-they are all right,
and there is no reason for the present
low prices. | suppose six months from
now we shall look back upon these
prices and, comparing them with the
prices then, will say: How ridiculously
low they were.
History repeats itself. | have seen
within the last few days very good evil
dences of the amount of money that has
been going into Wall street to buy
stocks, principally not on margin, but
outright. The amount is likely to in
crease, and when it gets so that the
buyers are more numerous than the
sellers the market will turn. The rail
roads are all doing very well. The
large movement of freight now going on
is being carried at better rates and all
the roads have better understanding
with each other than for many years" "

Indians BADLY Treated.

NEW YORK. November 10.-Paintcd
Horse. one of the Indians OF the Red
Cloud agency, who arrived here from
Europe on the steamer Augusta veto,
ria to-day, in the presence OF General
O'Brien, made long statement IN
which he charged both Carver and
"BufTalo Bill" with great cruelty to-
ward the Indians under their charge.
Painted Horse said he was repeatedly
tied up until he could endure no further
suffering: that he was fed on sinking
meat and other things wholly unit for
food: that his money was taken from
him. and when he asked its return he
received only 81. He said the other In
dians also were shamefully treated, and
were frequently fired upon with both
blank and ball cartridges and badly
wounded. They were permitted to have
all the whisky they wanted, and when
under its influence they often fought
among themselves.
Gen. O'Brien has copy oil the agree
ment entered into by the Carver combi-
nation, in which good treatment to the
Indians is specified particularly as one
of the conditions OF their engagement.
A copv of Painted Horses statement
will be prepared and forwarded to the
Secretary of the Interior, and to the In
dian Commissioners. According to the
latest adviccs Buffalo Bill's' Indians
will arrive in Philadelphia next
Thursday.

STATE LINE ROAD.
Construction Between Cniontown, Pa
and Morgantown Advocated.


and Morgantown Advocated.
PlrTsBURG, November lO.-The State
Line Road is feasible. The report on
the survey will be favorable and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
will probably build it. Mr.. y. H. Irwin
of baltimore. Resident Engineer OF the
Baltimore and Ohio K. Il. Co., was in
Pittsburg this morning. Engineer Irwin
has superintended the survey OF the
State Line Road which it is proposed TO
build between Uniontown and Morgan
town. West Virginia.
The survey has been made in as dl-
rect line as possible between the ter
minus of the Red Stone branch of the
Il. & o. and Morgantown.
Although number of natural DIM
culties must be overcome from tue
mountainous character of the country
and although high bridge must be
constructed over the Cheat river. the
surveyors believe that the road can be
constructed at smaller cost than was
anticipated and that the rich country
which would be opened will more than
commensurate for the outlay.
Engineer Irwin spent this morning in
close consultation with Superintendent
Holbrook, OF the PittSburg and Con-
nellsville Division, preparing his report.
He declined to state what the report will
be. but other officials intimated that
Mr.. Irwin is enthusiastic in his advoca-
cy of the construction of the line, and
that his affirmative report will prove an
imnetus in furthering the almost imme-
diate construction of the road.
The officials of the Pittsburg and Con-
nellSville Division have repeatedly advo-
Gated the construction of the road, and
it was chiefly through their efforts that
the surveying party was appointed. "A
gentleman connected with the PittS6urg
Division said this morning that the con-
struction OF the road would greatly in
crease the traffic on the line, as the tim
ber and ore which abound in that coun-
try would find natural and ready mar
