Rushing Bridge Work.

AS a result Of the accident on the old
Long Bridge orders have peen issued
to the engineers and contractors to rush
work on the new structure over which
the trains are to enter the city under
the proposed plan of Improvement. An
increased force has been put to work
and the draw has begun to assume
shape. The great steel girders were
nearly all in place yesterday, and much
of the other iron and steel work Is TO go
up this week. The Pennsylvania Steel
Company. which has the contract to
furnish the material, is delivering car
loads daily. The approaches TO the
bridge are now being constructed. and
it was said today by the engineer who
is supervising the construction for the
Pennsylvania, that trains would be
travelling over the structure in the early
spring.

MITCHELL'S DEMANDS.

The Joint convention of coal operators
and miners in the bituminons fields of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois organized in Indianapolis yesterday
to discuss the wage scale for the ensuing
year. President John Mitchell submit
ted the demands of the miners. He
cited many reasons the miners had for
making the demands of the miners. He
cited many reasons the miners had for
making the demand for an increase of
wages this year. The country, he said,
was passing through a period OF un-
paralleled prosperity, but the miners
we're not receiving their share of it. He
wanted an adjustment of the differentisl
between picked and machine mined coal,
and asked that it be fixed at Z cents fiat.
Immediately after the demands of the
miners had been read Herman JUST,
the commissioner for the Illinois opera
tors, submitted long statement, setting
forth the reasons why the Illinois opera
tors were not on an equality with the
others of the district, and that they
should not have to agree to scale on
the same basis as the other States.
EThe gathering adjourned until today
without reaching all agreement.
The threat made by the Indiana coal
operators to withdraw from the conyen-
ton because the miners are pressing the
passage ola bill requiring the Indiana
operators to employ shot iirers to do the
blasting in the mines after the miners
are cut at night, has brought out the in
formation that the step the miner are
taking in Indiana will be taken before
the Legislatures of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Illinois. After laws have been OBJ
tanned in these four States the miners
plan to move ON the legislatures in the
20 other mining States. The miners
say this movement is for the purpose OF
bringing about better ventilation OF the
mines.

FIGHT WITH EAGLE. The carcass
of huge eagle, which measures more
than seven feet from tip to tip, lies at
.Jobstown, N. j., trophy of terrible
fight, which Lloyd Stewart and Fred
erick Oil, young men, had with the
bird of freedom day or two ago. The
bird was seen by the young men on the
outskirts of the village, and they man
AGED to wound it. Unable to fly, the
eagle showed fight, and savagely at
tackled its tormentors. The young men
were put on the defensive from the
start. and it is almost certain that II
either had been alone he would have
been killed. As it was, each is covered
with scratches and cuts from the talons
and beak of the bird. 1t pounded them
with its good wing and fought so
savagely that several times they decided
to give up the battle, but the eagle
pOunced upon them with renewed energy
and compelled them to fight on for their
lives With clubs and stones they
fought for an hour and finally managed
to disable the huge bird, and then Its
death was easy. When the battle was
over Stewart and Oil presented pic
ture of disaster. They were covered
with blood from head to foot, and their
clothes were in tatters. They could
hardly crawl to their homes, and had TO
look up doctor to care for their wounds.

SUNDAY IN WARRINGTON This win
ter has marked the complete emancipa-
ton of Washington's social set from the
observance of Sunday as church day
only. Fortunately small parade on
Connecticut avenue was the one recrea-
ton. Now there are dinners, home re-
unions, small receptions and round Of
amusements which occupy the afternoon
and evening, conclude early and make
Sunday quite sprightly.
The British Ambassador and Lady
Herbert reserve Sunday afternoon and
the early evening for their intimate
friends. The custom is copied from the
White House, where President and Mrs.
Roosevelt snatch this day from the week
in order to enjoy a family and social re-
union. The Russian Ambassador and
the Countess Cassini select Sunday for
their embassy dinner.
The custom has also spread among host
esses prominent in the residential set.
Mrs. Merriam, Mrs. Reginald Dekoven,
Mrs. Mary Audenried, Mrs. Thomas +.
Walsh and Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page
are always at home on Sunday evening.
At these gatherings music, conversation
and similar mild amusements are resort
ed to.
1t has also become the correct thing
t, give little dinner parties at the New
Willard on Sunday evening. Young baehe
lors resort to this idea almost exclusively,
and their entertainments are therefore
free of interference with the plans OF the
acknowledged hosts and hostesses of the
CAV world. 1t is quite fad also to spend
a half hour or so on tho balconies of the
New Willard interchanging long distance
courtesies with acquaintance at the
tables.
Foreigners say that all Washington
now needs to be the pleasantest capital
in the world is some resort like the Bois
de Boulogne or the Serpentine, where
society might parade during thepleasant'
err hours of the afternoon.
