BRIDGEPORT.
Daily Events From the Town Across
the Way
Citizens Meeting.

SItizChs
Last evening the citizens of Bridge
port met at the City Building for the
purpose of discussing the water ordi-
nance, which is to be voted upon to-day.
Eberly South was made chairman of the
meeting and the first address was made
by Councilman n. B. S. Wilson. He
explained that the reason Council APP
proved of the kohnline proposition was
so that the city could have filtered
water. He went into the details to great
length.
Geo. Dunkens followed, making a
speech against the ordinance and
brought forth many good points. Ross
Alexander made strong argument for
pure water and pointed out the fact
that Martins Ferry could not supply
this. Frank Robinson followed and
gave numerous statistics from the
health report of Wheeling. showing
that since that city had heen getting
its supply of water from the new pump
ing station typhoid fever had fallen off
so per cent. from when it was supplied
from the old pumping station.
Walter Scout stated the amount OF
acid and iron contained in the water
taken from the point of the Island, when
the water was low. This showed the
water to be very unhealthy. Mr.. Kuhn
followed with a brief statement with
regard to the water
A number of questions were asked
by the citizens, and they were all sat
isfactorily settled. The meeting was
one Of the largest ever held in Bridge
port and the probabilities are that to-
day will witness the warnest municipal
fight ever held in this city. Each side
had men at work last night distributing
circulars, and at midnight it was re-
ported that the followers of Kohnlein
|, had men at work in their interest,
which would seem to indicate that the

the mine operators in this district, was
in town yesterday on his way to Bar
ton. Mr.. McBryde stated that nearly
all the miners strike trouble was SET
tied and that the conditions existing
between operators and miners was
placid and all would soon be in perfect
harmony.
To-day the citizens OF Bridgeport will
vote on the water proposition, and the
contest promises to be warm one.
Yesterday those who were in favor OF
the proposition adopted by Council were
busy working for the adoption of the
koehnline proporision. From all APP
pearances, the citizens are considering
this matter carefully and all wish to
vote for that which will be to the best
interests of the. town. Some of course,
may be deluded under the idea of fl
tered water as to its making 1t pure,
but this Is being overcome when the
people commence to reason about filtra-
ton. The following Is some Of the ex-
tracts from circular distributed last
evening referring to the proposition TO
be voted on to-day: why is there not
forfeiture clause in 1t, in case OF
failure to furnish an ample supply. OF
water or provide proper machinery
What remedy has the water consumer
or village in case of failure to furnish
a sufficient amount Of water, and OF q
quality fit for use, with no forfeiture
clause? None whatever. Is 1t good
business, in SO important matter, to
make a contract without details. with
out specifications as to capacity. with
out strict requirements as to furnishing
proper supply Of water at all times,
and without a forfeiture elause--the
only remedy in such case? The water
is to be filtered. But what kind OF q
filter? Why not specify? Why not
require the filter to be approved by
some competent expert in such matters?
A man in these days, even in building
a house, requires the work and material
to be approved by an architect"

not suit him as well as another. This
Old gentleman was not connected with
a brewery, but was discharged from his
position, and SO far as / know is out
OF employment to-day. 1t looks as if
the brewers 90 after any body else's
business, if some exception happens to
be taken to their product; but it is all
wrong for anybody to do anything that
could possibly have a bad effect on
their business.
Il anticipate the Intelligencer ex-
pressing surprise tomorrow morning as
to what the Water Board has to do with
this controversy. 1t will be remember
ed that that paper rediculed the preten-
sion that any reformation had been
brought about. 1t was necessary to
make reference to the Water Board mat
ter to demonstrate the fact that reforms
had been enacted. Upwards of $40, 900
in deliquencies have been collected by
the new Board. The birds in the air
know why it was not collected before.
1t was simply sugar to the people to
keep them lined up, not so much with
party as the city ring.
1T has been said that the police have
no right to take a part in trying to
bring an end to this muddle. | think
the Chief has perfect right. 1t was
necessary for him to exercise the strong
arm of his department to install the
new Water Board and to protect them
and keep out the old; and already,
through his action, the new Board has
placed $4,000 into the Golfers of the
city, enough to pay the Chiefs salary
for eight or ten years. Was it bad
thing then? If it was a good thing
tnen, it will be good thing now.
Tel me if you can, why men holding
positions, the legitimate salaries of
which are practically nil, can afford to
offer thousands Of dollars to three Dem
ocratic Counclimen to simply resign
their seats in Council. If this does not
indicate that there is "a niger in the
woodpile,' am very much mistaken.
THE peoples suspicious have been
aroused for long time that affairs of
the city are in most deplorable con-
dition. They voted for a change and
were successful, and now the will Of
the people is TO be thwarted by a hand
full OF poltical ringsters. If the people
haven't right to put an end to this
condition of affairs am simply mis-
taken.
There are many things which could
be said. and many that will be said in
the course of this controversy, and if
great deal Of unpleasantness is
brought about, and harsh things are
said, the Intelligencer can simply blame
itself for attacking people it might
have known would strike back I'll
not go farther just now, but l promise
you that | have plenty more in store.
The business of Wheeling from
which Mr.. Schmulbach derives his rev.
enue, has been dealt with very literally
by the executive branch of municipal
government and if he, through OBJ
stinacy, provokes people to such an ex-
tent that they in turn will demand that
the executive strength shall be again
exerted in the peoples behalf, and con-
ditions made worse for him and those
who dispose of his product, he will
have himself to blame, and his patrons
will know where to place the response
bility."

be given for the Mergenthaler and S.. o00.-
600 each for the Lanston aid the Monoline
companies. 1t is stated further that some
of the largest holders of the Aergenthaler
Company have been offered $500 share
for their stock. the price indicated by the
800. 600 proposition.
II will be seen that this proposition
contemplates paying more for both Lam
ston and Monoline than for Mergenthaler
compared with their present market
prices. This feature of the alleged deal
alone makes ii look exceedingly apochry
phal to many careful people. The capital
stock of the Mergenthaler company is
sl0.OO000O and the stock at leo is worth
Sl6,O00,00O. If s20.O00.000 only were given for
the stock this would be an advance of
only 25 per cent on the market price. The
Lanston capital stock is 81 900 of which
somewhat more than S3.0O0000 has been
issued. 1t is selling at, say. 10. which
would make the entire capital stock worth
only $4,000 600 at the market valuation. II
$1,000, 600 is to be given for this II will be
an advance of 66 20 per cent on the mar
ket price. The Monoline stock is sS.000.
600 and 1t is understood to be selling nom
inally at par. The position of this stock
and Lanston is about the same. there
fore with regard to market value.
Friends of the Mergenthaler Company
point to the improbability of this propo-
sition TO do more for two experimental
companies. one of which has existed for
many years without being able To pay
any dividend. than for II company that
has always paid large dividends regularly
and Is now paying 10 per cent
An officer or the Mersenthaicr Company
makes the statement that the Monoltne
and Lanston companies may bc arranging
"A combination. but that the MerSenthaler
will not be In the deal as tar as he knows,
