Important Notice.

The coming weeks will be the last
chance for the people OF Marietta to
buy Japanese Art Goods and Bric-a-
brac at 123 Putnam street, the former
Theis Shoe Store stand.
AS it is impossible for me to pack
these goods, and on account of gener-
Gus and liberal patronage, have de-
cided to close cut the balance of my
entire stock, regardless of their values
and will make this positively my last
week. Saturday, March oath, will posi-
lively be my last day On the evening
of that day at 10:30 o'clock l will give
away choice art vase for which
have been, and will continue till that
time, issuing numbered coupon tickets
emitting holders to participate in the
gift.
Remember the sale is every after
noon at 2:15 and every evening at 7:15
On Friday and Saturday will sell my
chairs, rugs, etc.
All be sure and attend these closing
sales, as there will be bargains for all.
With many thanks for kindness and
courtesies, and liberal patronage while
in Marietta, I remain,
Yours respectfully,

The drilling of the we'll on the Ged-

For the Convenience of West
Side Business Men.

]. Fl. Brown, of the B. & o. s. W,
has formulated plan for helping out
the merchants and manufacturers of
the West Side, who will suffer more or
less embarrassment from the demoli-
tion of the Putnam street bridge.
Mr.. Brown proposes to deliver
freight in cars every morning ON the
side track where stood the old Harmar
depot; and will also receive freight at
the same place up to 8 o'clock p. m. of
each day.
This arrangement will embrace the
B. & o. S. W., the o. & l.. X. and the
r. & o. c. e., and will probably go in
to effect even should the pontoon
bridge be constructed. 1t will be a
very material benefit to the West Side
folks, and they will appreciate the

SUNDAY, MARCH 10. 1900,
THE BRIDGE
Will Not Be Closed to Traffic For
Several DAYS.

- ~ ~
A force of men went to work yes
terday tearing down the old Putnam
street bridge, but this fact need not
cause alarm among those who fear
that the bridge is to be closed today.
MIR. John Cribbs, of Hawthorn, Pa,
who is experimenting the work, stated
yesterday that the bridge would not
be closed until ferry accommodations
were provided and that will be several
days yet. In the meantime, however
all of the lighter wood work about the
bridge will be removed and when
travel is stopped and the ferry begins
running, the main part OF the struc-
ture will be ready to drop into the
river.
Mr.. Crlbbs said he was very anxlons
to get his work done and was in hopes
that the ferry would be in running or
der soon. He did not speak very en-
couragingly of the pontoon bridge idea
The wires which are strung over the
bridge must be taken down within a
few days or they will be dropped into
the river. Mr.. Collins, of the Bell Tel
ephone Co., stated last evening that
arrangements had been made to carry
their wires over the river above the
railroad bridge and that later their
wires would cross by means of sub
marine cable. The telephone wires
will be removed in short time.
Several members of the City Council
were examining the banks of the Mus
kingum in the neighborhood of Put
nam street yesterday in order to deter
mine a place of landing for the ferry
boat and also for tine pontoon bridge,
should the latter be built. 1t will be
impossible to use the Putnam street
landing for these purposes as the work
of dismantling the old bridge and
building the piers for the new one will
block the channel above the bridge.
Several members wished the ferry
to be run below the bridge, but Capt.
Dan Davis, who Is an expert in mat
ters of the kind, objected onthe ground
that it would make the ferry boats
course too near the dam.
The members are anxious to secure
a landing at or below Putnam street
If possible, as the next landing above,
that at Washington street, is too far
up town. The place of landing will
not be decided upon until Monday,
when representatives of the Pittsburg
Bridge Co. will be here to consult with
Council in regard to that matter.
1t has not yet been learned here
whether the bridge company intends
to construct and maintain a pontoor
bridge in accordance with the wishes
of Council and the matter will probab-
ly not be decided until tomorrow. Il
the pontoon bridge is built it will
probably cross below the old bridge
with the east side landing in the Ice
Harbor lot The city will of course
be at considerable expense in making
roadway to the landing on each side
Whatever is done, the City Council
will do all in their power to secure the
very best facilities for public trave
across the river during the tearing
down of the old bridge and the con
structon of the new.

SUCCESSFUL.
The 44-luch Cylinder Cast at the
Marietta Manufacturing Conn.,
pany's Works.

The moulding room of the Marietta
Manufacturing Company was the
scene of some lively and interesting
work Saturday afternoon when the
first of the big cylinders for the tow
boat j. B. Finley was poured.
The pouring of big cylinder is an
immense piece of work, the more so
because even slight mishap may
cause the loss of many days time and
hundreds of dollars, hence the work Is
of more than ordinary interest
The mould was made by Mr.. Ed.
Mccormick and Mr.. F. A. Stedman,
two of the experienced mouders of the
concern, and the coie by Mr.. Henry
Jordan This work had been in pro-
gress since March and was complet-
ed Saturday. Mr.. Mcconnell, of the
firm, supervised all of the work OF
preparation and great care was taken
to avoid an accident.
At 4 o'clock everything was in read
mess and the blast was turned on in
the cupola to heat the iron for the big
job. An hour and half elapsed be-
fore the two big ladies had been filled
with the molten metal and swung in
to position.
Shortly before six o'clock the ladies
were tipped at the same time and
1 Q mn ,,oupdu of tba Garu 1;ouid
was poured into the runners that con-
veyed it into the mould. This opera
ton was watched with the greatest
anxiety, as any accitent on the part OF
the men might have led to serious re-
suits. Everything was successful
however, so far as the pouring was
concerned and by Tuesday or Wednes-
day it will be known whether or not
the cylinder is all right. 1t will not be
cool enough to handle for week yet
when it will be removed from the
mould and arrangements made to cast
its mate.
The casting of these two cylinders is
the biggest piece of work of the kind
ever undertaken by a Marietta firm
and the success of the work speaks
well for the progress that is being
made in this line by the manufacture
ing concerns Of the city. The manage
ment OF the Marietta Manufacturing
Company's institution are pleased
with the success of their undertaking.
The cylinders are A inches in di-
ameter and over 10 feet long and thelI
completion will enable the work on
the ]. B. Finley to progress much
more rapidly.
