Is GETTING FAMOUS.

The Vicinity of the City Building Disturbed
BY Another Exciting Occurrence Last
Evening.
The section of Chapline street popu-
lated by the legal fraternity is furnish
ing lots of excitement these days. After
the storm that took place between a
lawyer and a real estate man on We'd
nesday evening, an appearance of quiet
ness followed that caused the inhabi-
tants of the vicinity to feel as though
it might last for a while. This belief
was violently disturbed by another SEN
sational occurrence which took place
last evening just after the night shades
had fallen. About half-past seven
o'clock. just when the greatest order
and quiet prevailed along Chapline
street. the air was broken by piercing
cry Of murder" that proceeded from
the upper story of a residence opposite
the city building between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets. The neighbOrs all
heard the cry and people passing on
the street stopped startled and waited
for developments. The cries continued
and a few seconds afterward a woman
ran down the steps and out of the house
towards the city building. She appear
ed terror-stricken and seemed to be
strongly affected. She went to the city
building and made complaint about her
husband assaulting her and asked for
the officers assistance. A crowd soon
collected in the vicinity and Capt. Ben
MOTT and an officer went upstairs to find
the ferocious husband who had under
taken to discipline his better half in
manner that was far from being affec--
tionate or husbandly. The husband
had realized that he had caused a dis
turbance and that he had not been able
10 confne his domestic operations with
in his own household. Consequently
when the officers arrived he was Gained
down somewhat and agreed to desist
from his attempts to punish his wife;
He pleaded that he be not arrested and
&C q consequence no arrests were made.

CONDUCTORS RELIEVED
OF the Painful Necessity of Announcing
the Market Street Bridge Unsafe.

OF the Painful Necessity of Announcing
the Market Street Bridge Unsafe.
The warning of the conductors to the
street car passengers about the Market
street bridge will not be heard any more,
and consequently the public will eXper-
fence feeling of greater safety in know
ing that there is no longer a necessity
of considering il a risk in remaining in
the car while passing over the bridge.
Last evening all the conductors were
notified to discontinue making any fur
Their announcements about the bridge.
Notices to this effect were posted last
evening in the street car barn. The
company gave these instructions upon
the assurance of the Board of Public
Works that the bridge was not unsafe
and could be put in good condition by
making some repairs to points which
are said TO be defective.
This notification was received by all
the conductors with satisfaction, and
they were feeling much pleased last
night that the necessity for them to
make their usual speech was removed.
This speech, while brief, was always
delivered with some embarrassment.
with a feeling akin to that which the
schoolboy has in his first declamatory
attempt at school. 1t has been noticed
that there was little. if any. variation
in the speech of the different conductors,
and this fact made it pretty evident that
each man was supposed to commit to
memory and deliver the same Grafton.
At the beginning of the time that the
public were notified of the bridge being
unsafe. some attention was paid to the
words Of the conductors, and many peo-
pie took The precaution to walk across
the bridge and get aboard again at
the upper end. AS time elapsed and no
casualty occurred the apprehension Of
the regular street car passengers wore
off and very few people got of to walk
across. The conductors got so that
their declamatory efforts from the rear
platform were very mechanical, ana
whenever he opened the car door to
thrust his head through to give the
usual announcement he was always sure
TO be greeted by a broad smile and ire
quently jollying remark.

II Departments. Except the Blast Furnace

All Departments, Except the Blast Furnace
Resumed Yesterday.
With the exception of the blast fur
mace. the Riverside mill started up in
all departments yesterday morning
The four plate mills and the steel works
are running double turn. The tube
works are partially employed. The
blast furnace is expected TO resume in
two or three weeks. 1t is estimated
that the present stock of metal will be
exhausted by that time. Before the
furnace starts up some adjustment of
the wage question between the employees
and the management will be made. 1t
is generally believed that the blast fur
mace men will follow the example of the
other employees of the Riverside plant
and accept the reduction.
The preliminary work on the bridge
to be built from the county road TO the
tube works has been started. The
stonemasons are preparing the stone
for the foundation of the structure and
excavations for the columns and the
supports are also being made.
The Wheeling steel works at Ben
wood were compelled to shut down last
evening owing to a breakdown of one
of the blowing ,nill engines. The plant
worked four DAYS and will be closed
down for the rest of the week.
