Events Of Day in the Town at the
End Of the Bridge.

Commencing this morning, the Pike
street cars will run no farther cast
than Bridgeport. They have IN the
past been running through to Wheeling,
but owing to the number Of cars pass
ing through here to the latter place. 1t
was deemed advisable by the company
to cut of the two pike cars from rlln-
ming into that city. The number OF
cars running through Bridgeport causes
frequent delays. which It is thought by
the change VIII be avoided. Transfers
will be issued on the pike cars and the
fare from Wheeling creek to Wheeling
Will be the same as before.
The Masonic lodge intended inltiat-
ing the recently elected officers Monday
evening, but something presented tt
self which was not at all looked for
The laws of the order state that officers
must be Installed within sixty days af-
ter their election, and as 1t had been
nearly two and one-half months since
the election, they were unable to pro-
coed with the installation. They will
now be compelled to get a special dis
pensation from the grand lodge before
the new officers can be installed. The
lodge will try to get the dispensation in
time to install the officers at the.regu-
lar meeting In February.
