ONLY TW0-SPAN BRIDGE.

Decided Change in the Plans of the Sixth
Street Structure-Architects Working on
New Designs-The Old Board and ON.
GERS Unanimously Reelected.
The stockholders of the Allegheny Sus-
pension Bridge Company met yesterday in
the office at the south end of the Sixth
street bridge and reelected the old Board
of Directors and officers. They are as follows:
President John Harper; Treasurer and
Clerk, William Roseburg; Managers,

Clark. John B. jackson, Jehu Hamorth,
Edwin Lare, Charles S. Passavant, John
H. Dalzell, j. A. Harper and John Porter
field.
The new bridge which is to be built there
will not be opened before the spring of 1892.
1t was originally intended to erect a bridge
with two piers in the river, as at present,
but owing to the fact that United States En-
gineer Merrill had declared that the piers
would have to be in line with those of the
Seventh street bridge the plans all have to
be changed. The bridge company has
found it impossible to place the piers in line
with the bridge above and SO decided to have
q two-span bridge aud only one pier. All
the plans have, therefore. been discarded
and the various contestant for the design
are working on new plans and will not be
able to present any for several weeks.
The plans will not be decided on until
late in the spring, and it is not expected to
commence work on the abutments and piers
before the middle of July. The company
does not expect to have anything but the
masonry completed before fall. The new
bridge is intended to oe built on the same
style as the Ohio connecting bridge. 1t
will be constructed above and then swung
around into position on floats.

CAUGHT In A TRAP.
Barney Gallagher Arrested in New York for
Cutting a Pittsburg Officer.

Barney Gallagher Arrested in New York for
Cutting a Pittsburg Officer.
Barney Gallagher, of this city, was ar
rested in New York last evening charged
with stabbing Officer Martin Mogan here
nearly a year and half ago. Gallaghe, is
a one-armed man. He and friend were ar
rested by Officer Mogan at the corner of
First avenue and Ferry street one night for
disorderly conduct. As the officer was con-
ducting his prisoners to the patrol box, Gal
lagher suddenly wrenched himself away
and quick as a fash stabbed the officer three
times One slash Of the knife ripped his
clothing from neck to waistband, on the left
side. but miraculously in fiicted only slight
scratch on the skin. One blow struck him
on the arm and the other on the shoulder,
inficting painful but not serious wounds.
Gallagher escaped at the time. but was al
terward arrested and gave bail in s., 900 for
court. He had plenty of money and just
before the time set for the trial his friends
offered Inspector McAleese 81. 200 to let up.
The Inspector Indignantly reused the bribe
and declared his intestIon to push the prose-
cution to the limit. When the case was
called Gallagher was missing.
Efforts made to find the fugitive were un-
availins until Assistant Superintendent
O'Mars went to New York few weeks ago
and located him in that city. O'Mara could
not fud him then, but set trap by which
he learned where Gallagher could be found
in New York at o'clock las. evening. A
telegram was sent at o'clock to Inspector
Byrnes, telling where Gallagher would be
at that hour and requesting his arrest. At
o'clock reply was received, stating that
Gallagher was in prison. O'Mara had been
so sure Of his man that he had already sent
requisition papers to Albany and Gala
CHER will probably be In Pittsburg within a
couple of days.

sumers.
The cold wave has come and gone and
closely following in its wake is to be found
a snow storm, which will not be so bad, as
the weather is to become much warmer to-
day. 1t is thought that the snow will last
all day.
People in Pittsburg never knew what a
luxury gas was until they found that they
didn't have 1t. The trouble is that the gas
is so short that it doe sn't reach the full
length of the pipes, and it is like trying to
reach 10 feet with 10-foot pole. Now that
warm weather is promised there will proba-
bly, be enough gas. One consumer says that
he must have something to burn. and un-
less he finds plenty of gas pretty soon he
may be compelled TO break his contract with
the company in order to keep warm. He
says he can then use coal.
Restaurant keepers, with other gas con-
sumers, complained yesterday of the poor
supply. In some places they didn't have
enough fuel to keep coffee warm, and cold
victuals were served to patrons who wanted
something better. For two hours along
Penn avenue yesterday morning there was
no gas at all, and people suffered from the
cold.
A great many consumers got disguised
and informed the companies to cut off the
supply forever. They have returned to the
use OF COAL A. M. Byers & Co.'S Southside
Mills and the Republic Iron Works were
closed down yesterday. Nearly all the
Southside consumers were short OF gas. In
Allegheny there was one long continued
wall ior gas, but, like Rachei's children, it
was not and probably will not be until sum-

it might be stated that the information

in compiling it the names of the firms will
