WHEELING BRIDGE co. PLANS.
Some of the Things Eeing Talked About
BY the Board of Directors.

Some of the Things Eeing Talked About
BY the Board of Directors.
It is understood that the Board OF Di-
rectors of the Wheeling Bridge Com
pany are very seriously considering the
possibility of making some arrangement
with the city authorities by which the
new street recently opened off of Main
street at Market alley and leading out
on to the new bridge over the river may
be extended eastward to Market street.
The idea of the Company seems
to be to purchase the southwest
store room of the two occupied
by the firm of Stone 81 Thomas, and
the corresponding piece of property
fronting on Market street. and widen
ing the alley from Main to Market
street to the full width of the street
now leading to the bridge. That the
firm OF Stone 81 Thomas may not be re-
stricted, it is suggested that the money
paid them by the Bridge Company for
the house on the corner OF the alley be
used In widening their front by the pur-
chase Of another building north OF the
one recently acquired by the hrm.
Nothing definite seems to be settled,
but the matter is being discussed with
a great deal of earnestness.
1t is also stated that there is very
strong probability that this Company
will not locate their new bridge over
"Back" river at the west end OF Ohio
street, but will move it a considerable
distance farther north, probably as far
up as Delaware street, in order that, by
crossing the river at small angle, the
bridge may be brought out just south
OF the Hill House, in Bridgeport, in
direct line with the National road. The
first idea was to cross at Ohio street,
and run through Kirkwood, but more
mature reflection seems to have brought
forward the idea that it would be better
to locate the bridge higher up, that 1t
may have it's western approach directly
in Bridgeport.

Immaculate Conception.
The Forty Hours Devotion, which
commenced on Friday at the church OF
the Immaculate Conception, ended at
ten o'clock high mass yesterday. Dur
ing the time the Blessed Sacrament has
been exposed, and the church has been
visited by nearly all members CT the
congregation. The number Of persons
who received communion yesterday
morning was unusually large.
st high mass, the pastor, Rev. Father
Mullen, delivered an interesting dis
course upon the devotion to the
eucharist. After mass the Litany OF
the Saints was repeated in Latin, after
which the procession Of the Blessed
Sacrament took place. This was fol-
lowed by Benidiction. The choir was
strengthened for the occasion, and the
music was very impressive.

There was not the slightest hitch in

for centuries.
1t will take some time to get all OF

henceforth nothing but pure spring

Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.
HOPE, Feb. 23.-The flag raising ex.
ercises took place today, at the public
school building at 2 p. N. Hon. Lew
Hanback,, of Topeka and Prof. F. A.
Scott, of the Wesleyan university, So
lima, were the speakers Of the day. w.
P. Robinson, in behalf Of the Hope G..
A. R. post, in brief speech presented
the flag to the pupils Of the public
schools and after response by Prof.
Wine the flag was hoisted. The flag
is a fine one and it being a gift from
the old soldiers and many Of our citi-
zens, the pupils highly prize 1t. After
the flag raising appropriate exercises
in honor of Washington's birthday
were given by the pupils in their res
pective rooms.
Prof. Scott, of Salins, in the absence
Of Rev. A. H. Boyd, occupied the N.
E. pulpit last Sunday morning and
evening. Prof. Scott is an entertain
ing speaker and both his excellent SER
mons were appreciated by all who were
so fortunate as to hear them.
Pursuant to the call number Of al
lance men attended the meeting held
in the Waverly sample rooms last Sat
urday. The meeting was poorly at
tended and it being held with closed
doors, we are not prepared to report
the business. We understand, however
that but little of the intended business
was done and as whole the meeting
was fzzle.
A number of the teachers, together
with many others from the city and
country, attended the teachers msti-
tute at Fairview last Saturday. All
report an excellent meeting.

the recent campaign. The trophy is
highly valued and historical present

it was one Of the relics taken from the
old Indians tepee after his death. 1t
is certainly an ancient looking relic,
covered with the rust of ages and scars
of battle. and is a most formidable
looking weapon. Private Hoy was SOL

all right with his command at Fort
