ABOUT TIE BRIDGE.
Another Thrilling Chapter in
the Absorbing Recital.
b idge Company comes Forward with
statement as to Present Conditions
some Hope Of Eventual Compile
tion Of the Bridge Queer Antics Of
Contract.

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 non 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 Ist regarding the Morgan
town bridge. The two car shipments
from Cambria has been received and
whs 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. lam 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
shop work, and machine shop work
on the contract has been done, so
that it is the bridge shop work
which remains and we are in pc.
sition to rush it through.
| am sending copy Of this letter
to the county court at Morgantown
as it covers the Situation as to the
contract
Yours truly
ALFRED NJ. MosscRop, Vice Pres.
aud Manager.
1t may be that some of these inc
day the material will begin to ar
rive at Morgantown and that the
bridge may begin to be placed so
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 rsome
time.
A queer thing in regard TO the
matter is the antics of the contract
itself. While he county court was
in session recently they desired to
look at the contract 1t had disap
peared. A search was made for it
but 1t 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 had
been in the meantime is mystery
which the people. about the court
house do not seem TO be able TO
fathom. ~
