THE NEW BRIDGE OPENED.

Iected Hereafter.


lected Hereafter.
Yesterday the Wheeling Bridge Com
pany began collecting toll on the bridge
connecting the Island with Etnaville,
and the bridge was declared open for
traffic, though it had been in use lin
tied way for several weeks. The line
men Of the electric light company got
the wires strung across it last night and
at S:l9 the lights were turned on and
the people all over Etnayille came out
into the streets and cheered.
There was no formal opening and
very few were present when the light
was turned on. a number of young
folks from the Island and HGtnaville
were up on the bridge promenading and
Officer Joe Conrad was there to preserve
the dignity of the occasion.
The bridge, which has been described
in tho 1NTELLIGESCER, is handsome
and substantial structure which adds to
the general appearance OF the city and
greatly facilitates travel between Wheel
ing and her two big suburbs on the
Ohio side. Etnayille is now as close to
Wheeling us the outer wards are to the
heart OF the city, and in a few weeks
more when the electric cars are running
to Martins Ferry, that town will be
within very few minutes OF the Public
Building. The building OF the two
bridges will, to a great degree, at least,
solve the problem OF cheap and quick
transportation between Wheeling aud
the Ohio side.
1t opens up large new building terri
toryon the Island, and makes it conven-
lent to live in one city ana be employed
in the other. There can be no doubt
that both Wheeling and Martins Ferry
will be benefited by this enterprise.
The toll keepers on the new bridge
are Capt. B. Stanley and David Thomas.

FIRE OUT THE PIKE.
W. s. Goshorn's Barn, ncnr Greenwood,
Burned last Night.

hufncu luht HlBHt'
A few minutes before 8 o'clock last
night, fire was discovered in the barn OF
W. S. Goshorn, out the National Road,
near Greenwood Cemetery. In few
minutes the barn was blazing ruin and
in half an hour the building aud con-
tents were consumed. The building
was frame structure forty by sixty
feet, and was filed with hay and the
crops OF grain raised on Mr.. J. Q. Her
yey's farm this season. Under the
barn were u sleigh and "buck-board,"
both OF which were destroyed. There
was no live stock in the barn.
at the time the fire was discovered
there was only one person present, and
before assistance could arrive the barn
was almost consumed. About two
hundred people were attracted to the
scene by the bright blaze, which was
plainly visible for miles. The light
could be plainly seen in this city.
There is no theory advanced as to how
the fire started.
The house which stood on the same
place was destroyed by fire ayear or
moro ago.

little girl began to scream, dropping
an umbrella she had just picked up, and
said there was snakc in it. Officer
Menkemyer was called in by the fright

the umbrella found an old hat rolled up
in it. 1t was rumored he had found a
blacksnake four feet long.

INCREASING IN PRICE,

The calamity shriekers" find little
satisfaction in the present bountiful
crop, and less in the increased price
of farm hands. The Winnebago City
Press-Neacs, in writing on this sub
ject hits the nail on the head. 1t says:
Farmers have at last reached that
point where they appreciate their
farms at their true worth. Ten years
ago it was hard to make many owners
of realty in this county believe their
land was worth anything. They were
Respondent, and in fact nearly eight
out of every ten were ready to sell out
at any price. All that deferred them
from selling was the hopeless task of
finding purchasers. They even doubt
ed the statements of newspapers that
their land would be on top before long
and readily command $40 to $50 per
acre. Now many will even go fur
ther than some so-called too sanguine
newspaper men. One farmer living
near Winnebago City said the other
day to the writer, that he believed in
side of five years time that well-lo-
Gated land in Faribault county would
be worth 800 per acre. The gentle
man may be right, we hope he is, but
we should rather fix the price five
years hence at $50 than 500. Besides
this same farmer, and no doubt Others
five years ago would have secuted the
idea of their farms bringing from $50
to S35 per acre to-day. 1t looks very
much as if this section was to have, for
the first time, its innings. 1t may
not be such big boom as they get up
on the Western coast, but the invest
or in our lands at even 800 per acre,
will have less distance to drop than
town lot spectators have had along
the Pacific coast There is 10 per
cent interest on the investment in
Faribault county lands at 500 per
acre. When an investment pays Z per
cent nowadays it is called a good
one"
What is true of Faribault county is
equally true of Blue Earth and othe'
southwestern counties. Farm LAND
are worth owning anywhere in Mime
sofa, and especially valuable are the
in this neck o. woods.

TAMMANY REPUDIATED.

Leading Democrats of New York
are no less disguised over the high
handed work of Tammany in New
York than are the mugwumps. One
by one prominent members of the
party are withdrawing support from
the ticket nominated at Saratoga as
rebuke to the ring rule of the most
corrupt political organization in ex-
istence. But no reputation has been
so singing neither has there been one
OF such significance as that administer
ed by Mr.. Hermann Delrichs in the re-
signation of his position as member
of the Democratic National Com
mittee for New York. The Maa and
EIpress says that the action of this
prominent German politician will have
great and extended influence on all
democrats who are not slaves for life
to Tammany. 1t will especially in
fluence the German-American citi-
zens. Mr.. Oelrichs, while on the De-
mocratic National Committee, espe-
cially represented the German-Ameri-
cans of New York. He created and
managed the German Bureau of that
committee All democratic German
American societies and associations
left their interests entirely to his
management.
Mr.. Oelrichs not being Tammany
man, and Tammany having excluded
all nOn-TammanY democrats from the
Saratoga Convention, he declares in.
his manly letter of resignation that
SIT is equivalent to a declaration that
there is and can be no democrat out
of Tammany, and that the standard
of democracy is the approval of Tam
many's men and Tammany's meth
ods.''
Mr.. Oelrichs says, 'Being democrat
as the term was interpreted by the
late Samuel J. Tiden," he repudiates
Tammanyization.
The democrats have hitherto found
Mr.. Oelrichs an ardent supporter,
who cheerfully and largely contribut-
ed to their campaign funds.
/ His reputation, following that OF
Mr.. Guatav III. Schwab, of the de
mocratic ticket and OF Tammanyiza-
tion, will cost Mr.. Flower many votes
and very likely elect Mr. Fassett Cover
nor.

New York Press, in Mr.. Cleveland IS
Endorsement of the Tammany State
ticket. 1t should be remembered that
while President he wrote letter to
bolster up Colonel John r. Fellows as
the Tammany candidate for District
attorney. The large section of Mr..
Cleveland's Mugwump friends, how
ever, who are against Flower and
TammanY will witness his action with
sorrow and anger. The spectacle of
an eX-President of the United States
dragging his dignity in the mire of
Tammany politics and lending his
support to the attempt of that no.
toriously corrupt organization to get
New York State into it's clutches is
not pleasant one.

is right. More of such debates would
prove beneficial. 1t would prevent

For more than a year the Hon.
Roger Q. Mills has been defining his
position upon the tariff question, but
it seems has never been satisfied with
himself. He has finally struck bed
rock in the matter and taken the posi-
tion followed by the English, in tax
ing the poor mans breakfast. He
would restore the duty on tea, coffee,
and sugar, and take it off from those
articles where our labor comes in con-
tact with the pauperized labor of Eu-
rope. Roger has conferred a great
favor upon the people of this country
by getting down upon the side of the
fence he belongs. instead of always
carping that he did mean to disturb
our industrial system.

THANKS to a kind Providence the
weather has cleared up in North
Dakota and threshing has been resum-

the demand for thresher outfits is
greater than ever and wages are un-
precedentedly high. There are mil
lions of bushels of grain to be threshed
and not one-quarter enough machines
for urgent demands. Unless large
number of additional threshers are
sent into Dakota forthwith, a vast
quantity OF grain will rot in the
stack.

THE emperor William, of Germany,
is havinga hard time as a reformer.
The other day his bill to repress drum
kenness came up in the bundesrath,
a legislative body representing the
individual states of Germany. After
considerable discussion it was refer
red to a commission, where it will be
relieved of many of its rude provis-

probably be more effective than the
emperor's measure. The fact that it
