Controversy Is over the Beliaire Bridge,

The injunction proceedings between
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
against Garrett j. Ludecker and Others
and the United States against the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad company and the
American Bridge company were called in
federal court Friday afternoon with
Judges Golf and jackson ON the bench.
After some preliminary motions and
presentations of the case, a recess OF one
hour was taken to permit the reading of
dispositions by council.
The railroad company is represented
in chief by Hugh j. Bond, Jr. chief
counsel for the company. He is assisted
by other attorneys. The government is
represented by Judge Reese Blizzard and
attorneys from Pennsylvania and Gin
cinnati.
The controversy is over the Baltimore
& Ohio bridge Mt Bellaire. The original
injunction was granted by Judge Golf
here in chambers few weeks ago upon
application of the railroad company. and
was for the purpose of prohibiting the
government civil engineers and other en-
ployes from interfering with the con
struction of piers of the bridge.
Some days later the government took
the matter to Judge Jackon at Parkers
burg. and he issued IAN order restrain
ing the railroad employees from proceed
ing with the construction OF two piers OF
the bridcg, until the matter could be
heard here.
The government claims that the piers
viii interfere with navigation of the
Ohio river.
Tie argument was begun at 3 o'clock
on tie matter of pcrpetuating Judge
Ger. Injunction. The case vii! likely
be taken under Amusement and an opin-
ion may not be handed down for some
tine.
Tie trial of the case between Charles
4. Billings and the Jackson Iron and
Tin Plate company was concluded and
given to the jury. The amount involved
is about $1,000, although they differ
over only $4,000 or $1,000.

MILL1oNA1RE's POOR STOMACH.

The worn-out stomach of the ovcrfed
millionaire Is often paraded in the pub
lie prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse fortunes
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over IS years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. It tones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth living

The location makes It rather q bold
burglary. Street lights are stationed ut
that point and the view is good from
the regular police beat. It must have
been done hurriedly, or at least, the en-
trace to the building was accomplished
quickly. 81
The police are working on the case,
but so far there is no definite clue. The
burglary b the FIRST that has occurred
here for several weeks, and may be the
forerunner Of n series, as that appears
70 be the history Of depredations of this
sort In Clarlsburg. On this account ex-
ira precautions should be taken by the
police and the various business firms to
prevent n repetition and to catch the
burglars.
The haul did not justify the labor and
risk, MS there was no money in the estab-
iishment and none Is ever left there over
night. The safe Is merely used to pro-
tect the books against fire.

The late Gen. Cassius M. Clay was
graduate OF Yale, a member OF the
class of 1892. Sometimes he would
tell of a rebuke that he once gave TO
an impertinent classmate. He was
sitting in his room, writing letter to
a young girl. Three or four OF his
friends were with him. One youth,
who pretended to be absorbed In a
book, was slyly reading the somewhat
ardent sentences that flowed from the
Kentucky students pen. Clay sudden
ly became aware Of this Improperly,
but he made no sign. Only he wrote
in his letter:

Iona and Short surnames.

An investigation to discover the
shortest surname seems to show that
Mr.. BY possesses it. or course there
are others equally short in pronunci-
alton though weighted with a super
fiuous letter. Such Is the name Of
DR.. Goe, the recently retired Ansli-
can bishop of Melbourne. George
AIDE, the writer, belongs to the list.
"Nye" is another example. The
premier of New South Wales, Sir
John See, has certainly established
a record for breyity In this conneo-
ton among prime ministers. Short
surnames naturally suggest long ones.
Scotland seems to supply fair share
OF the latter. Gentlemen who in these
busy times have to write Feather
stonehaugh" or "Osbaldistane" at the
ends OF their letters are certainly en-
titled to sympathy. There Is an Irish
chieftain, too, whose signature In
"McGillicuddy of the Reeks."
