LOST ON THE CONTRACT.
Abutmsnts for the New bridge Cost More
Than the Coutract Price.

Abutmsnts for the New bridge Cost More
Than the Coutract Price.
Muldoon & Bowie, the contractors for
the abutments of the Roaring Brook
and Linden street bridges. are exper-
iencing much difficulty in constructing
the piers Of the former bridge. Although
they were granted a six weeks exten-
sion Of time, that period has elapsed
and they are still far from completing
their work.
The delay is caused by the difficulty
experienced In locating the foundation
for one Of the central piers, near the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company's
dam. Owing to the fact that the spot
Ii covered with water and that the
ground is composed Of sand and cinders
It Is very hard work to reach a solid
foundation. The water has been let out
Of the dam, but still three feet Of water
covers the epot where the operations
are being carried on.
The contractors will lose money on
the Job most likely. How much, they
will be out can not be estimated, but
II they do not soon have better luck
they will loss . vast amount of money.

Clarence Johnson and companion
played three games Of pool in the St.
Dennis last night and left by the back
way without paying their score. Later
in the evening the bartender recognized
johnson on Lackawanna avenue and
calling an officer, compelled him to set
tie. although he claimed it was his
compaion who was stuck for the games.
Soon after this a large chunk of coal
was hurled through a rear window Of
the pool room, smashing the glass and
causing CONSERVATION among the play
ers. Officer Sloat, who heard the crash
rushed back into the alley and, espy-
ing a man running through the Della

gave chase and overlook him at the
freight depot. The culprtt was none
other than Johnson.
He was taken to the station house
and held for a hearing. He made his
second claim Of innocence by alleging
that 1t was his chum who had hurled
the coal through the window.
