Another Bridge Across the aIssIsuippi-

MORO ELECTRIC Roads
ST Louis, Oct 20-For years the
people of North St Louis have had to
ride four or FIVE miles before thew could
get to the Eads bridge, near the center
OF the city, and cross to the Illinois
towns, East St Louis and Madison,
where many of them were engaged in
business. Lately they got engineers
and had estimates made of the cost Of
vehicle bridge in their part of town.
The engineers reported that one
couldn't be built for less than two or
three millions The Merchants bridge
which spans he river between North
St Louis and the other side, is only a
railway bridge. The men who wanted
another bridge went to the directors Of
the Merchants company, and asked
what terms they could have highway
built along the railway, quite an en-
cheering feat by the way. They
were told the company would do it for
$3.50, COO.
Wen accept" said the North St
Louis men.
The building of this new bridge, for
it is one. practically. will result in an
enormous increase in tie business on
both sides Of the river.
Thousands of people who came to
St Louis during the last few weeks,
when the city was crowded, gave q
nickel or dime to the beggars th2y
saw on the street corners. There were
all sorts of beggars. blind, MANNED and
musical, and all Of them reaped har-
vest, but what must the visitors have
thought of ST Louis?
81 never saw but one other place
where there were so many beggars, ?"
said lady, standing with her escort
near the postofiice one night. land that
was in Rome. / should think that st.
Louis would keep them in asylums."
To-day, one couldn't find one of those
blind organ-grinders ifhe walked from
one end Of the city 10 the other. They
don't belongain St Louis. They don't
belong anywhere Next week they
will be in Chica % or New York. They
follow the cro..ds all around the coun-
try 1t is a regular profession with
them, and they make GOOD incomes
begging. Policemen can do nothing
but drive them away from their beats,
and they then appear at another cor
ner in five minutes, and go on grinding.
Another electric railway, which
looks on the map like an octopus, is
projected in the city, and the men who
are trying to get the franchise promise
TO have it built 10y the time the throng
fill the streets next fall, and clamor
for fast transportation over every
block they have to go. Every car line
in the city except one short piece ont
West, viii be run by electricity next
year, and it seems that they cover the
ground pretty well, but these hardy
projectors are willing to give a heavy
