A Washington dispatch states
an old law governing the construc-
tion of bridges across the Ohio has
been discovered that may be of
great benefit to the river interests.
It was found by Congressman
Aoheson, Dovener and Lester,
members of the subcommittee of
the River and Harbor Committee.
1t is in the nature of treaty OF
agreement, made 100 years ago, be-
tween the States of Kentucky and
West Virginia, and is to the effect
that no bridge be allowed to be
erected, if such would prove an OBJ
stacle to navigation. This may
have an important bearing on the
bridges spanning the Ohio river at
Steubenville, Bellaire and Parkers-
burg. According to the Congress-
men who discovered the act, the
court at Wheeling some time ago
sustained the validity of the treaty
or agreement. The old law will be
attached to the river and harbor
bill to be presented to Congress in
a few weeks.

ing Mr.. O'Brien under it, and pin
ing his legs and feet to the ground
for some two hours before he could
be dug out. He was badly bruis+

and both his legs and feet badly
bruised up, but luckily the physi-

a small dislocation, but the flesh
on his legs is all black from bruises!
1t was a narrow escape from in
