NEWSPAPER EXHIBIT.
Morning and Evening Journals Will Be
 Printed in Machinery Hall.

Morning and Evening Journals Will Be Printed in Machinery Hall.
 Publishers of the big newspapers in Chicago have been discussing for some time plans of an exhibit they will make at the fair. It is as good as settled now that both morning and an evening paper will be issued in machinery hall every day. The papers will be printed on presses sent to the fair as exhibits, and it is possible that they will be printed on paper made on the exposition grounds. This exhibit would enable persons who have not witnessed the in- teresting process of producing 0 great daily newspaper to see every feature of the work, from the manufacture of paper to the delivery of the story of the events of day to subscribers.
 The morning paper at the exposition will be an interesting journal in many respects. It is probable that each of the big morning dailies will contribute one page to it. This page will be an exact duplicate of the corresponding page of the paper that contributes it.. Each paper will send to Jackson park one of those pulp molds known as a matriX, and from this the metal plates will be cast and the papers run off in full view of spectators. On other pages of the paper official announcements will
 be made.

FOURTH STREET OVERHEAD BRIDGE

| Members of Council Decide That the
Railroad Company.Mus Build It.
A conference Of the members OF City
Council and the Board Of Street and
/ Sewer Corr missioners was held last
evening. This matter discussed was an
overhead bridge at the Fourth street
c. ossiEg of the p, W. q B. railroad.
Messrs Gswthrop and Chambers repre-
sented ths Street and Sewer Department.
Eleven l. amSers OF City Council we're
present, a. was also City Solicitor Cur.
tbs.
j. N Cav hrop expressed an opinion
that the city saould compel the railroad
company to build the bridge, BE said
that there we're two questions to con
siuer namely: Is such bridge needed
If so, would it be better vt Third or at
Fourth street,
Samuel Chambers thought the proper
plan would be 30 memorable The railroad
company on the sabject and sec II it
would net act Tishout being compelled to
do so.
In reply to this, Mr.. GAwthrop fsg-
gssted joint committee to confs with
the officials Of the road
This idea struck President Benson
favorablY. He said that he thought the
bridge would be q money saving structure
for the road, as 1t now employs three
gAtemen there.
Mr.. Murray, who is nothing II not rad.
ioal, suggested an elevated road through
the city. He conceded, hSwever, than a
bridge at Fourth street would be great
publis safeguard and convenience.
A motion was made By Councilman
AcKelvey, and sarried, shat Council meet
as committee Immediately after the
conference. and formulas plan OF
action
Mr. GAwthrop informed the membsrs
that illness prevented President Josep b
l.. Carpenter, Jr., from attending the
meeting. He thought that the bridge
could be half as wide IS the street, and
yet be wide enough.
The street car interest here raised It's
head and Mr.. Chambers stated that 1t
would be dangerous to run street cars
over Fourth street crossing unless there
Ia an overhead bridge.
Councilman Cotton expressed an opinion
that the bridge would greatly enhance
the value Of property beyond Third street
bridge.
The conference here ended. All but
the members Of Council withdrew. The
members then vent into a committee and
decided that the bridge should be built az
Fourth street, and that the two bodies
should act together in placing the matter
before the railroad company. The meet
ing then adjourned. 1t Is probable that
the subject will come up during the
regular session this evening.
