A Committee Now in Washington
to Secure the consent of the Sec
rotary Of War and the River and
HarbOr Committee to Location.

The Bellaire and Benwood Bridge
Company are pushing matters lively TO
get to work on their new undertaking.
The Company has sent a powerful lobby
to Washington City TO work for the
right of way across the Ohio at Bellaire.
This is the last step 10 be taken before
the Company can commence locating
their piers. The question will be
brought up before the Secretary of War
and the Committee on Rivers and Har
bors for discussion in few days. 1t is
very probable that the Company will
not have serious opposition in this mat
ter. as everybody about Bellaire and
Benwood is heartily in favor OF the i'm
provement. The committee will very
likely assign several Of the government
engineers to locate the piers so as to
prevent any trouble with the river traf-
fic. whicht is already somewhat dan
gerous at the Bellaire bridge. This
action will be taken by the Committee,
it is hoped. before Congress adjourns.
The Company is now operating the
Benwood ferry. formerly owned by Pol

success in the new undertaking, but a
number Of Bellaire people are kicking
strenuously on the new management. as
they are said to. be very strict in their

THE ACCIDENT
On the Bellaire, Bridgeport & Martins
Ferry Car Line. Friday.

On the Bellaire, bridgeport & Martins
Ferry Car Line. Friday.
A very bad accident occurred Friday
evening on South Broadway, Martins
Ferry, which resulted in the death of
VIM. Hinkle, conductor on the Bell
aire, Bridgeport and Martins Ferry
street car line. The poles at this place
are rather close to the track. and Hin
kle, who had his head out of the rear
window in the car looking at something.
did not notice the poles being so close.
and the left side of his head came in
contact with one of the poles. He did
nol appear to be injured very much at
the time, for he attended to his duties
until he reached Bridgeport and was
then taken home Drs. Black and Helm
lein were called and did what they
could for him, but 10 no avail. He
sank into inconsistencies about eight
o'clock and died at ten Death is sup
posed to have been caused by the rup-
ture of a blood vessel in the head. He
had been in the employ of tn company
about a year. He leaves wife and one
small child TO mourn his death.
The probabilities are the street car
company will likely get into trouble
over the affair, since the pole was only
a distance of two feet from the track.
While the required distance is three.
