CENTRAL'S NEW BRIDGES.

One Across the Canal at Henderson
Street, the other at Jersey Avenue.
The Central Railroad Company this
morning began the cons truction OF the
cantilever bridge over the Norris Canal
at Henderson street. and a second over
the canal at Jersey avenue. The COM
pany is constructing the bridges
principally for the purpose of
facilitating travel to Its freight depot.
The fight for the possession of the great
Sou b Cove, now pending in court, is the
only obstacle now in the ptth of the
famous South Cove becoming a
great shipping centre. The Cen
trail Railroad Company proposes
1t is said II the courts decision is against
it. to lease the South Cove graut, iii Ia
portions and construct aud opers's
immense storage warehouses. beside
increasing its terminal facilities.
The construction Of the bridges
nver the canal at grade
without interference from the Lehigh
Valley Railroad would indicate that the
companIes' Interests were one In the deal,
A year ago, when the Central Railroad
began the construction Of a bridge over
the canal at Jersey avenue, the Lehigh
Valley Company attached engines to the
structure and pulled 1t away. The deal
bet ween the companies will undoubtedly
result in the South Cove being developed
iuto an enormous manufacturing centre.

THE OPERA HOUSE.
London Bnlles' in a Variety Perform

London BHlIes' in a Variety Perform
A number of young meu and women
calling themselves the London Bellies
Burlesque aud Vaudeville Company
gave a variety entertainment at the
Opera House last evening, which had
some merit, but much more dem crit.
The trouble began with what the pro-
gramme. called a New burletta, entitled
No Mans Island" 1t may have been all
right as a burletta, but as a theatrical
performance 1t was a bowling mockery,
which not even the graceful dancing Of
several passibly. pretty girls could save
from being depressing.
This was followed by a variety show,
which was fair as variety shows go.
Everyone who took part could dance aud
dance well, out their singing can scarcely
be covered by the broad. generous mantle
of charity.
There was one decided novelty intro
ducsd into last evenings performance
which Will not in all probability be
repeated. The leader of tile orchestra
aid not saw his violin energetically
snough for one of the male dancers, and
the sarcastic remarks which the daucer
made every time he came pear the leader,
IN a tone which was Intended to reach no
further than the foot lights, was really
comical.
A great musical extravaganza" called
the Crystal Slipper" intended to be a
burlesqne on the "Tar aud the Tartar"
WAS great Only IN it's weakness.
