LOOKS LIKE A CO..
Contract for Bellaire.Bcnwood
Bridge Said to Have Been
LETTO LUTTE, OF PITTSBURGH
Options Taken on Property on the
Bcllairc Side of the River Which
run for Twenty or Thirty Dnys-The
Amount Involved in tho Options on
Bcllaire Property is $35 900 Other
Options OH Bcnwood Property.

The Bellaire and Benwood Bridge
Company has taken options on the
Woodbridge property in Bellaire.at the
intersection Of Central avenue and Bel
mont street and on all the property
north of that for one square. except two
pieces bordering on Thirty-hfth street,
and 500 has been paid on each option,
which run from twenty to thirty days.
The German church property was not
taken because the price was regarded
as too high, and it Is announced that
the bridge will come In just north of
that property.
A number OF options have also been
taken In Benwood.
This looks more like business In the
way of building the bridge than any
thing that. has occurred since tho mat
ter was first talked Of. The amount In
volved In the several options taken will
reach $4,000 and the amount paid down
makes It. reasonably certain that the
deals will be closed.
1t was stated yesterday that the con-
tract for building the bridge is practi-
cally closed and that w. c. lutte, of
Pittsburgh, will be the chief contractor.
Carries Rosser and others in Bellaire are
looking after the local end and It is said
work will be commenced within very.
short time.
Most people In Bellaire and Benwood
regard the building of the bridge as
good thing and hope to see 1t gotten
under way this summer.

there was not the least violence at any

was some hoottns, but very little OF this

A Cincinnati drummer boarded car

the Basketball Season.
The District National Basketball League
began its season last night at the Infantry
Armory with game between the Light
Infantry, winners of last years champion
ship, and the Y NJ c. A. The former had
an easy time of it and won by the score Of

Considering the fact that it was the
opening contest, and that the teams have
had but little practice, the game was well
played and proved highly interesting to
one OF the largest crowds ever assembled
IN the armoTy to witness a game.
Some little roughness crept into the con-
| test but this was largely due to lack of
team work and to the effort to make the
game fast.
New players on the old team and old
players on the new team made the game
more or less interesting Burnett Shreve

Iufantry's last years team. New players
who took the places Of Schafhirt, McQuade
and McCabe were Lotus and Burgess, of

mead. Of the Mount Pleasant Athletic Club
The Y. NJ c. A. team is the newest ad-
dition TO the league, and among the old

BurnetUs goaling was a feature of the
game, several of his field goals being diff
fcult. Others who played well were
Shreve, Lotus, and Holmead, of the In
fanty, and Dodge Hough, Ravensburg and
Hildreth, Of the association team.
Lotus, of the Infantry started the point
gaining for his team by landing a clever
field goal in the first half. This was dupl-
Gated by Burnett almost Immediately after

cross-cut toss. Score, to o for Infantry.
In the closing half Burnett landed safely

days somewhat uncertain and irregular
movements in prices there could be detect
ed q tone Of pronounced frmuess. Active
speculation on the part of the public Was
again held in restraint by the continued
monetary strinEency. but notwithstanding
that circumstance. there was not only an
absence Of liquidation. but fairly good
demand for stocks. Sentiment was, in the
main favorably affected by the upshot Of
the elections in various States yesterday.
The returns from the State Of Kentucky
were received with particular qualification
and were reflected in the strength or LOUIS
Vile and Nashville as was 10 be expected
apart from the elections there were few
occurrences since Monday with any paTricu-
lar bearing upon the financial situation.
The London stock market responded in
higher prices 10 the reported British sue
cesses iu South Africa, but on balance very
little was done iu this market for foreign
eccounL
There were few important statements Of
-rafic returns made today. the most in
terestinE report being that of the Mauhat-
Ian Railway Company for igs fiscal year.
Specifically, the statement was disap-
pointing one and the publication Of the
figures was followed by a smart decline in
the stock. II may be noted. however. that
the deficit reported after the payment Of
dividends resulted wholly from the distri-
button made upon the increased capitaliza-
uoH This year and, as matter OF fact.
there was q small increase in earnings ap-
plicabIe TO dividends.
The figures submitted did not apparent
ly include the income the company has
received from the employment Of its sur
plus capital in the money market which,

must have been very considerable item.

regard to ID that 1t was as equally wanting
in any other than purely technical sgnif-
canoe as was the previous advance in the

pareutly unlimited buying orders that have
been present I'm the stock during its rise
