MARTINS FERRY.

molOI AcileI dOu council restraining
the city from any further procedure in
supplying Bridgeport with water until
a final hearing of the case. There is a
good bit of i'll feeling between some Of
our Council and the Water Board, and
IL begins to look to the citizens Of this
city as II either side is willing to go into
a law suit on account of the stubbornness
OF some one and Of course the city is liable
TO be thrown into the costs Of the
Courts. III these parties were liable for
the costs we have no doubt but this
water question would have been set
tied a long time ago but they are acting
now like lot Of school boys and the
sooner they get down to business and
quit their spatting sat the expense of
the people" the better 1t
meet with their approval. But
1t looks now as II it is late day
for Martins Ferry to kick on giving
Bridgeport water after Council has
made contract with BRIDGEPORT to that
effect aud the latter city has laid their
pipes and are willing to comply with all
the rules and regulations OF our water
board; and as we understand their Coun-
They are also willing to connect the six
inch main that leads to the corporation
line without any additional expense to
our city and competent engineers say 1t
will supply them with plenty Of water.
The alleged tin worker who inserted
the card In the Iltelltgencer yesterday
morning, trying to tell the people what
he knows about "tin plate" will help
the Democratic party a good bit, II he
only will keep his chin going. Every
body knew who was the author OF the
card as soon as they read it, for Windy
Jack, of Broadway, has been spreading
himself as the only tin worker
In this section of the country,
and it made him mad when
we referred TO other tin workers that
are now working In our mills as con-
demning the sheet OF iron that is coat
ed with solution OF lead with a very
little of tin added to the solution as not
being tin plate. Now II Windy this is
the name he is known by among his
fellow-workmen) wants 10 bet any sum
Of money that the sheet hanging on
the telegraph pole in front Of the
and Mckinley Button Works Of Mar
tins Ferry is American tin plate, he
knows where he can be accommodated.
Now, Jack, don't do like you tried to
do with US for the sake Of getting your
name in the paper. Don't give the
paper card one day and then ask them
to make a correction the next to get
your name in tWice-perhaps you will
tell US about one Of those famous dogs
of yours next. -
