Mr. Mathers moved that the report be
received and fled, which motion was
adopted.
Mr. Mathers then raised the point that
inasmuch as the regular appropriation was
not sufficient to meet the cost Of the bridge,
and the necessity for new bridge was not
such as came within the statute, the Board
could not award the contract.
Mr. Usinger replied by stating that the
bridge had been officially condemned as
unsafe, and a new bridge ordered built.
The committee had been appointed and
proceeded under instructions of the Board,
and now presented unanimous report
He believed the fact that the bridge was
yet passable was due more to good luck
than good management
The question was referred to the Solicitor,
who referred the Board to his written
opinion on the subject. In order to fully
digest the situation, Mr.. Usinger moved
that consideration of the subject be
deferred to the next meeting.
This was carried and the Board adj
journed.
Il is understo d that the regular meeting.
will award the contract and authorize an
issue Of bonds to pay the cost Of the bridge.

NEW SONG FROM PARIS.
French Capital In Now Heard
in New York.

New York's latest popular melody
comes from Paris, and has been sung
in French and English in one or two
OF the theaters. It is called 'eViens.
Poupoule, Viens," which means
Come, Little Chickens, Come" and
the rest of the words are just about
as sensible. But they made Juror
in Paris, although it must have taken
a great deal of suggestion and grim
ace to have made them so highly ap.
preciated on the boulevards.
Like most of the popular songs, thu
ditty was imported by the proprietor
of a Fifth avenue restaurant. Other
directors of the restaurant orchestra
Import new music every year. Thus
these songs are heard in the res
taurants before they reach the STAGES
of the theaters.
But this particular tune, though Il
came here from France. is really a
German tune originally. AS 'Komm.
Karlin'chen, Komm," it was popular
in Germany for several years before
1t reached Paris. Nobody there seems
to have cared whether or not the tuna
came from the "enemys country" And
In New York the tune is accounted
Partisan, and its German origin is nm.
known.

across Pennsylvania, where it stopped.
The sunfish instantly Topped back
into the water. If the pickerel had
been content to 60 on either into tho

rock or the New Jersey side, it would
have saved itself; but it turned ON the

New York waters.
That move was fatal Campbell re-
covered from his surprise, rose to sit

erel. His middle finger ran under the
gills of the fish and stopped it where it
was. AS it lay captured, its position was
such that it covered part of three states
and three counties. 1t weighed nearly
three pounds.
