NEW COUNTY BRIDGE.
White River to BE Spawned at Judge
HardingAStreet Extension.

The Board of County Commissioners yes-
terday decided to advertise for bids for a
bridge over White river at Judge Harding
street Judge Harding street is the first
west of the stock yards extending north
and south. 1t is not opened through to
the river. but its projection strikes the
river little more than mile south of
the stock yards.
The action of the commissioners was
taken on petition signed by a large num-
Der of taxpayers living in the southern
part of the county, who, TO reach the
stock yards, were compelled to drive
through the city. up to the Morris-street
bridge and back south through West In
dianapoiis. A petition for bridge over
last fall and bids for the contract We're
received, but before opening the bids. the
commissioners came TO the conclusion that
the county could not spare the money at
the time, and the bids were never opened.
The Judge Harding-street bridge dispcses
of the Raymond-street bridge for the pres
ent at least. In deciding upon locating the
bridge at this point the commissioners
were Influenced by the offer of the prop
erty owners on either side of the river TO
make the fills necessary for approaches
to the bridge. This is a large consider
alton in selecting this site for a bridge, as
the land is low for considerable dis
lance on either side of the river, and ths
expense of making the fills Will be consid-
cradle.

broken yesterday by the filing of three
suits by husbands who have been cruelty

ing the time, from December 1856 until
April 1894, that they lived together she
treated him cruelty, was addicted to the
use of intoxicants and would often remain
away from home for weeks at time.
Alexander and Ida S. Sorrel were mar
ried Nov. 81. 1880, in Kentucky and lived
together until June IS, 1886. They have
four children. The husband asks for a di-
vorce on the grounds of cruelty and disre-
gard of the marriage VOWS. The complaint
alleges that the defendant would stay
away from home all night leaving plaintiff
to care for the children; that she would re-
mark before other persons that she did not
love her husband, but loved other men bet
ter; that she wholly abandoned the plain
tiff June IS. 1896. The plaintiff asks for the

A Practically New Export Point.

Local agents who represent the fast
freight lines which operate in connection
with the steamships sailing from Montreal
yesterday received notice of a further ad-
vance in ocean rates and the statement
that all space was taken until Nov 80
This means much more uan it did five
years ago, when Montreal was hardly al
luded TO as an export point. The official
port circular shows that in September
there will sail from Montreal twenty
steamers for Liverpool. eleven for Glasgow
and twelve for London. 1t might be well
for the New York Produce Exchange while
worrying about the diferentials Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Newport News have
on export business, to turn its eye toward
Montreal, which has shown nearly as re-
markable an increase in export tonnage as
has Galveston or New Orleans. The rates
the Montreal lines announce are equal to
zee cents per one hundred pounds on pro-
visions. against ~ cents in May last. and

Trouble Brewing Between Cincinnati

Important Export Point.

The London & Northwestern railroad is
often spoken of as the largest corporation
in the world. WITHOUT question the North
western of England is a great corporation,
but it cannot maintain the position of be-
ing the largest system in the world. Its
capital is 1896, 600, it has a revenue of
$500 an hour, 1900 engines and $4,000 en-
ployes, and repairs that cost $4,000 a
month The Pennsylvania has a capital of
1851, 075 500 and 10, 430 miles of track, which
traverse thirteen States. 1t has 3, 756 loco
motives, which consume 10000 tons of coal
a day and make runs equal to the distance
around the globe every two hours. 1t has
1895 passenger cars, 154 600 freight cars, $50
Pullman cars, 241 other cars for construc-
ton and other purposes, making total of
15S54 cars. The Northwestern boasts of
CO. 900 employees, but the Pennsylvania Com
pany has over 100 900, who, with their fam
lilies, make up a total of about 800, 900
persons dependent for living upon the $780,,
100000 it distributes in wages every year.
Last year the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany moved IA, 395 266, 375 tons of freight per
mile and carried 1,577 S91, $50 passengers. In
1895 the Per asylvania Company owned 5
per cent. of all the railway mileage in the
United States, 101a per cent. of all the loco
motives, 1112 per cent. of all the freight
cars and had 10 per cent. of all the railway
employees upon it's pay rolls. 1t carried IL
per cent. of all the passengers who Travelled
by rail in the year 1895, and it's earnings
were IL rs per cent. of all the earnings of
all the roads in the country. Like the
great Northwestern, the Pennsylvania
its plants could build a locomotive every
day in the year il 1T chose to do so.
