EXCHANGE NOTES.

Shenandoah Press The contract fol-
building the Iron Bridge across the river
near this place, was awarded on Friday
last to the Plttsburg Bridge Company at
$1,000. The contract includes the build
ing of the abutments, bat not tae iilling
of the same. This was the 2nd letting OF
the bridge, and the price to be paid is
about $500 lower than the lowest bid at
the lst letting.
The cause of the difference in price at
the 2nd letting was due to the fact that
the Democratic organs had represented
that iron was very much higher under the
Mckinley bill than it really was, and after
the bidders returned home after first
letting they examined INTO the Mckinley
bill, and, instead of finding it higher,
found 1t very much lower, h nee the diff
ference in the Pad bid as stated by enc or
more of the bidders
Rockingham Register: An epidemic OF
horse stealing seems to be SWEEP ing over
this section, and is now in full blast. Last
Saturday night Mr.. G.. G.. Mccall had an
iron-gray horse stolen from his farm near
Mt. Clinton. The horse was taken out OF
pasture. and the thief let down the fence
through several fields IN making off with
his booty. On Monday Mr.. Peter Pulse
had horse stolen from htching yard
here IN town in broad daylight At last
accounts nothing had been heard from
either horse or thief. Our County Court
Wednesday and Thursday was engaged in
the trial of John j. Offield, of Madison
county, on a charge of DEMONSTRATING. The
trial was in progress when the Register
went to press
Two cases from Rockingham county
were passed upon last week by the Vir'
ginia Court of Appeals IN session at
Stanton. In the case of James f. Bell,
convicted IN the County Court of an at
tempt to poison his wife, tie verdict OF
the lower court was affirmed, and Bell
will have 10 take his three years in the
penitentiary. Considerable doubt is en-
tertained among Bells friends and others
who are conversant with the circumstan-
ces as to his guilt. 1t will he remem-
bered that on the first trial the jury dis
agreed, one juror holding out against the
rest for the innocence Of the prisoner.
/ he other case was the appeal of the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad Company
from verdict IN the Circuit Court which
awarded $3.50 damages for the killing of
Thomas II. Sites by train near Elkton
on the Oath of May, 1887. Sites was
deaf mute, who had been injured once be
fore by a B. & Q. train near Linville He
was walking on tho s. V. track near
ElktOn on the day named, and was struck
by freight train, receiving fatal injuries.
His mother sued the Company for Sl0,-
900 damages. and the jury gave $780,
Counsel for the railroad appealed the case
on exceptions to the Instructions given
by Judge Mclaughlin, and the Court of
Appeals last week reversed the Court be-
low. This will send the case back to the
Circuit Court, where should it be again
tried, the instructions to the jury would |
nonsrt the plaintiffs.

Wiudle Again.

Singular to say VIM. Windle has again
escaped from the Lunatic Asylum at
Stsunton. From all we can learn his
keepers were not to blame. On Saturday
night Windle complained of beng sick
and bis shackles were removed for few
moments. Taking advantage of this he
suddenly. and to the surprise and horror
of the attendants, jumped from fourth
story window landing upon coal shed.
Strange to say he escaped unhurt and in
a few moments was over the gate and
lost IN the darkness among the many
freight cars at the B. g. o. station. The
people of the lower end of the county
have been widely notified of his escape,
and as but few, it any, of them believe
him crazy his next act Of deviltry will
probably be his last.

The New Bridges.

The new bridge on the pike at Pugh's
Run, was so far completed on Friday last
as to admit of travel passing over 1t. The
old bridge was carried away by the heavy
food of several months ago, and the loss
has caused much inconvenience to the
heavy traffic over this road. AS the large
stone abutments were washed out along
with the superstructure, the rebuilding
has been heavy and expensive job. The
new bridge is su bstantial structure and
reflects credit upon Mr.. JnO. Woods, the
veteran and we'll known bridge-buider
On Tuesday he put force of hands al
work upon the new bridge at Narrow
Passage, that structure having beer
carried away at the same time the Pugh's
Run bridge was destroyed. We learn
that it is Mr.. Woods intention to push
this work as fast as he can and have il
ready for travel at the earliest possible
day. The loss of these two important
bridges has been severely felt, as The
temporary crossings at both these points
were extremely difficult and lncOnvenient
