COUNTY BRIDGE AT BLOOM.
THE CONTRACTS SIGNED.
King Bridge Company will do the Iron
Work, and Joseph Hendler the Masonry.
ESTIMATED COST S69,25s.

On Saturday, November a5th. the
Commissioners Of Columbia county
had letting for the erection of a
County bridge over the Susquehanna
River at Bloom ferry. On Tuesday
following, the statement below was
given out for publication.
.'The Commissioners of the county
have let the contracts for the new
bridge which was ordered to be erect
ed across the river at Bloomsburg.
The King Bridge Company have the
contract for the superstructure and
Joseph Hendler for the masonry and
other work.
Before the Commissioners entered
upon this responsible task they &C.
quainted themselves with prices cur
rent for work and material of the char
acter desired, and employed Mr.. J. C.
Brown engineer, to prepare plans,
specihcations-and also to acquire the
requisite information and submit an
estimate of the cost. Mr.. Brown was
also employed as engineer and super
intendent of the work of construction.
The estimated cost Of the bridge is
S6o,256. The contract for the super
structure, which is to be of wrought
iron and steel-I8 feet roadway and
Of the most approved and substantial
pattern is $4,000. Several rival
bridge manufacturers submitted pro
posals, but that of the King Bridge
Company was the lowest. The con
tract for the masonry is for the work
at certain prices per cubic yard for
excavation-both above and below
water, and stone work at SI2.oo pei
cubic yard. OF this price $1.4o pei
cubic yard was counted for the freigh,
alone, on the stone from the quarres
to the place of construction, and the
contract contains a stipulation that
whatever sum may be abated or de-
Quoted from this amount for freigh,
shall inure to the benefit of the coun
ty. In other words the stone work i.
5000 per cubic yard, and freight no
exceeding S2.4o per cubic yard added
The cost for excavation per cubic yarc
varies from $3.50 per cubic yard foI
solid rock below water, to S2.5o per Gu
bic yard above water.
The plans of an engineer require
the stone work to be of the most sub
stantial character, each stone to be o
great size and the piers and abutment
when completed will be similar tC
those seen in the construction OF rail
road bridges.
Mr.. Hendler, the contractor for thi
part of the work. has had considerable
experience in this character of work
We have been informed that no les
than six bridges span the river, tn
masonry of which was done by hin
and that he did the work for the ney
r. r. bridge for the Lehigh Vale,
above Wilkes. Barre.
From the prices mentioned in tn
contracts for the bridge, and the kin,
of bridge to be built, the public wi
be assured that they will have thl
needed improvement at reasonabl
cost. The time for the making O
this contract, because of the 10y
prices prevailing, was very opportune
and the county will receive the benefl
of such condition.

tive to strict account If 1t should be found
within the next few days that the fatal policy
outlined in Mr.. Gresham's letter had been car
ried out in Hawaii without the knowledge and
participation Of Congress and beyond its power
or veto or reparation.
TAKEN UP IN THE HOUSE ALSO.
In the House Of Representatives also steps
were taken to-day to secure the Willis instruc-
tions. and to block II possible restoration Of
the Hawaiian monarchy. Mr.. Hit, the leading
Republican member of the Committee on For
eign Affairs offered a resolution asking for the
instructions given to the Hawaiian Minister.
and declaring that in the sense OF the House
the Intervention of this Government to over.
throw the present authorities in Hawaii and to
restore the monarchy is contrary to the policy
and traditions Of the Republic and the spirit Of
the Constitution" This resolution will probably
be considered tomorrow in the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
Unless the unexpected happens Information
concerning the Hawaiian situation will be re-
ceiyed here from three different sources some
time tomorrow. 1T Is barely possible that some
news may be received late tonight by the way
of London from Auckland but it is not likely.
The expected news will relate to events that
have transpired at Honolulu late as the 18th
of November The Monowai, which left San
Francisco about the l1th of November, should
have arrived al Honolulu on the oath. She was
to leave Honolulu on the same day, en- route
to Auckland. She should reach the latter port
some time tonight after eleven days passage.
1t is said at the Hawaiian Legation that she
is not always trustworthy and that she may
be from twelve to twenty-four hours late in
reaching her destination.
The two other sources of information are the
WarrmOo and the China. The former left Van.
couver the day after the Monowai sailed from
San Francisco, and was to touch at Honolulu.
She is due to arrive at Sidney tomorrow morn.
ing. Heretofore her passages have been made
on schedule time. and there is no reason to sup
pose that her present trip will prove an excep-
ton TO the rule. The China, one OF the fast
vessels of the Pacific line, should arrive at
Yokohama tomorrow afternoon She was also
to touch at Honolulu. She sailed from San
Francisco after the departure of the Monowi
and the Warrimoo. AS she reached Honolulu
after those vessels had cleared for their respec-
tive ports Of destination, she will be the bearer
of the latest news of the situation at Honolulu.

Hawaiian advices up to the 9th or 2sth Of Mo-
vember or about eight days later than the mes
sages received by the schooner which arrived
at Port Townsend on Monday.

The blockade on the broadway cable road.
which is becoming almost daily occurrence
took place. as usual last night. About o'clock
those who were Fastening downtown on business
or those going uptown on pleasure bent by way
of the Broadway cable road found themselves.
in most cases stalled high and dry far from
their destinations. The "confiding public kept
their seats in the cars until patience was cX-
hausted or engagements were long overdue and
then. with everything but blessings on their
lips for those managing the road, lett the cars
and proceeded by other routes.
When inquiry was made at the Houston-st.
power house much surprise was expressed at the
news that Il serious blockade had existed Tor
some hours.
There was only a slight delay in traffic. said
those with Official lettering on their caps. But
on further investigation the Trlbuhe reporacI
found that strand from the cable had become
unravelled, as has occurred before, and the road
had become blockaded at o'clock and the
cars did not begin TO move again unu about 5.@o.
The break on the cable was found at Four
tecnth-st. and was Immediately hauled down To
the power house to be repaired. The caDlc was
started again at $3.50 o'clock. and the cars
which were blocked from the Battery to the
Park began slowly moving again, but 1t was
hours before the road was cleared ana anything
like the regular traffic was resumed.
Although the cars were banked up Tor miles
on the downtown track when the cable was
started only one pair Of horses was used u
transfer across the break at Houston-st. and
IL was nearly 10 O'Clock before another pair ar
rived TO assist them

heard upon AL sides. One conndng indlViduai
