ABOUT The BRIDGE.
Another Thrilling Chapter in
the Absorbing Recital.
Bridge Company comes Forward with
statement as to Present Conditions
Some Hope of Eventual Compile
tion of the Bird ge-Queer Antics of
Contract.

At last the Sphynx has spoken.
There has been something heard on
the subject of the Falling Run
bridge. The Baltimore Bridge com
pany had the contract for making
the iron for this bridge and Walker
Brothers of Charles Town have the
contract for building it. A letter
was received this morning from the
former to Walker Brothers which
explains itself 1t is as follows;
We have your long letter of De
cember LIST regarding the Morgan
town bridge. The two car shipments
from Cambria has been received and
was unloaded yesterday, and the
material is now being run into the
shop and we are in position to
take up this work at once and have
done so. am following this up
sharply and we will give you the
best possible service. The car OF
| beams, which was the first car ship
ped from Cambria, has not yet come
in and we are tracing it from both
ends The shop work on this car OF
material is small and should not de-
lay matters. The eve bars for the
bridge are being made and will be
shipped us ON the 18th and should
reach US in plenty of time to forward
on one of the last cars to its desti
nation As per my previous advices
to you, practically all OF the forge
sh up work, and machine shop work
on the contract has been done, sc
that it is the bridge shop work
which remains and we are in a pc
siton to rush it through.
am sending copy of this letter
to the county court at Morgantowr
as it covers the situation as to the
contract.
Yours truly
ALFRED NJ. MosscRoP, Wee Pres
and Manager.
1t NAV he that some of these fine
day the material will begin to ar.
rive at Morgantown and that The
bridge may begia to be placed sc
that people who want to use the
bridge may begin to see that they
will havo chance to walk or drive
over it and not have to put up with
the intolerable conditions which
have been confronting them TO re- eme
time
A queer thing in regard % the
matter is the antics Of the contract
itself. While The county court was
in session recently they desired tc
look at the contract 1t had disap
pedred. A search was made for il
but it could not be found.
1t was found today in the box
where it had been placed originally
1t was On top of the other papers re
lating to the case. Where it hac
been in the meantime is mystery
which the people about the court
house do not seem to be able tt
fathom.

In the House.

Washington, Dec. 10.--After debat-
ing the London dock charge bill for
almost four hours, the house yester-
day chopped it's head off by striking
out the enacting clause. This killed
the bill The debate was spirited on
both sides, and all day the members
were flooded with kilograms respect
ing the bill. The withdrawal of sup
port of the lumber and meat packing
interests, which originally had Joined
with the flour milling interests in
pressing the measure, brought about
its defeat. The final vote was 1873 TO
1923 in favor of the motion to strike out
the enacting clause. Speeches were
made in favor of the bill by Mr.
Tawney Mimi and Mr.. Richardson
(Ala.) and against it by Messrs. AID
amson tGa.), Wanger, Adams and Dial
cell (Pa.), Burleson and Burgess)
(Tex.), and Mann (Ill).
Mr.. Tawney finally moved to substi
tute the senate bill for the house meas
ure. Thereupon Mr.. Sherman, who
was in charge of the opposition, moved
to strike out the enacting clause, and
the issue was precipitated at once.
Mr.. Tawney demanded the ayes and
noes. The vote resulted 1873 ayes to
1923 noes. This action struck out the
enaeting clause and killed the bill
At APO p. m. the house adjourned.

A Good Outlook for Maine Crops.

The Maine Farmer in its issue Of
May y Will present comprehensive
summary Of the agricultural outlook of
The state to the present time. 1t
shows the promise for the apple crop
fair but rot great, and thus far but
little injury from the freeze is to be
seen. Cherries, plums, pears are bios
soming heavily. Strawberries winter
killed in many sections. Grass is look
ing well, with clover below the aver
age. Old fields are starting slowly, but
these are growing less each year. The
increase in COWS is from to 10 per
cent. This applies chiefly to dairy
stock though there is an increase in
beef. More attention in paid to swine.
The poultry industry is growing rapid
iy. Horse breeding is decidedly on the
increase. Additions of blooded stock
are reported from many localities. The
acreage under the pillow is greater than
ever, and potatoes and corn for the
silo will be largely in excess of former
years. Sweet corn factories will open
in new localities and the acreage in
oats, peas, Hungarian, rape and milIet
will be increased. Good prices prevail
and farm products are in active de-
mand. In Aroostook county the crops
are nearly all in, but other sections
agriculture ut this date is promising,
ana the prosperity Of the farmer in
sures the prosperity of the State.
