by legislative enactment, would, in my
opinion, be no violation OF the principle OF
home rule.
The message recommends the entire sepa-
ration of the bureau of elections from the
police department Of the city Of New York
and the creation of a bipartisan election
board.
Among the novel features advocated by
the new governor is the enactment of an
employers liability law or the establish
ment of a system of forced insurance of the
employees by the employer, the object being
to place the employees on the same footing
as individuals not employed in cases OF
injury or death to the empoye resulting
from negligence on the part of the en-
ployer.
The message further recommends ex-
empting mortgages from taxation, the con-
sol-dation of the forest preserve board and
the forestry, fish and game commission and
the improvement and enlargement of the
state prison at Sing Sing.
Both houses adjourned after a short ses-
sion until January 9 at $50 pm.

Big Order Placed With Packing House
in Chicago.


in Chicago.
CHICAGO, January 2.-The Tribune says:
Signatures were affixed in this city yester-
day to a contract under which a Chicago
packing firm will supply the Russian gov
ernment this year with 1900 barrels Of a
specially prepared meat to feed the soldiers
of the czars army.
The terms Of the contract will exceed
100000 The vast field for supplies in Rus
sia and Siberia has been opened to Ameri
cans only lately, and 1t is believed that the
contract completed yesterday is merely the
predecessor Of others which will amount to
millions of dollars and result in the intro
duction and consumption of American pack
ed meats in every part of the vast north
ern emDire.
A new process Of packing and pickling
meat was an important factor in the award
ing of the contract By this process it is
said that the problem Of transporting the
packed meat any distance and through any
climate without affecting the quality of
the supplies has been solved.

FEARS FOR BRITISH SHIP.
Ihe Andrada Blown Away From As
tOrfa IY n Gale.

ASTORIA, Ore, January 2-Twenty-two
days ago the fine British ship Andrada of
1854 tons appeared off the Columbia, and
Pilot Cordiner was taken aboard. A great
storm arose at that time and the Andrada
was driven to the north. She has not been
seen since, and it is feared she has met a
fate similar to that of the British ship
Cadzow Forest which disappeared with
Pilot Grassman five years ago and was
never again heard from. The revenue cut
ter Perry has gone in search of the An
drada.
The British ship Rathdown now min ety.
one days out from Yokohama for this
port, is long overdue, and 1t is feared that
she has been sunk by typhoon off the
Japanese coast.

DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
Yonng Wife Took Nearly Fatal Drink
In Husbands Presence.

CLARKsBuRG, Oct. 9.--Mrs. Thos.
Curley, wife Of a well known sports
man, attempted suicide by draining
. vial Of carbolic acid. She and her
husband had been quarreling over
something, She asked him to ex-
plain certain things. He replied
that he could not do SO. She re-
marked that he would be sorry that
he did not. She then jumped up,
ran to her bed and, taking the vial
from under the pillow, began to
drink it. Curley ran to her and
grabbed che bottle. She became un-
conscious and did not revive for
several hours, and at one time was
reported dead. Powerful emetics
were given her without effect until
several hours after she took the
poison. She is now reported out Of
danger, although still quite low.
The couple are young and she grew
respondent over the absence Of her
husband, who attended some Of the
county fairs, and concluded to end
her mortal existence. The incident
aroused the entire section of the
city in which she lives.

TO RAISE THE BRIDGE.
County Court will Have to Ele-
vate West End


or Suspension Bridge Across the Mon
ongahela III Interferes with Pros
| pective Navigation Natice Served on
County Court Of Wishes OF Your Tn.
Gle samuel.
Major Charles 4. Powell who has
charge of the Monongahela river
has served notice en- the county
court through Mr.. / n. Lucas that
in all probability the court will be
required to raise the West end of
the suspension bridge before very
long. The notice has been given
the clerk of the court Mr.. John f.
Price.
Just now nothing definite has
been done but this notice is merely
given 50 that the county court may
know what TO expect and to be ready
for it when it does come. Ii will
probably be given when the locks
and dams are nearly finished and
the time at hand for opening Of nav.
igation.
All bridges over the river are re-.
quired to be sixty feet above low
water mark. This end of the sus-
pension bridge is fifty some feet and
the other ena twelve feet lower max.
ing 1t about fifteen or twenty feet
too low. 1t will have to be raised
that distance to accommodate the
vessels using the river.
The channel is on the west side
OF the river and this makes the alti-
tude Of the structure more OF fac
tor than it otherwise would be.
To raise the bridge will entail
some cost on the county but when
Uncle Sam says that he wants any
things Of this kind done It has 10 be
done. 1t will have some bearing on
the plan to pave the west side road
and whenever the paving is done it
will Eaye to be carried ont with q
view Of having the West end Of the
bridge elevated TO place fifteen or
twenty feet higher than it Is ut pres
emit.
1t will help greatly in taking the
paving up the hill to have raise of
that much at the foot of the grade.
The houses on the lower side Of the
road which have been built on the
present grade will probably not be
benefited to any great extent by
the change. It may be year be.
fore anything Is done in that diree-
ton and II may be sooner than that.
At any rate The change is sure to be
made before the boats run to Fair
