Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1904-01-28

The excitement which had sustained
the sick man during the morning had
passed. and Dick could see plainly
enough that the reaction was tugging
hard upon the frail strand of life. Yet
he understood that he had at command
as potent a stimulant as was ever com-
pounded by pharmacist
1t was hope!
In an hour or two the approaching
vessel would be within hailing dis
lance. Another hour or two meant life
or death to Tom. If he knew that res
cue, food, drink and comfortable quar-
tiers were but few dwindlng miles
away, existence would grow sweeter
to the wealthy shipowner and importer.
and the innate love of life might buoy
him through the crisis.
Shall | speak?" he asked of him
self
If Tom died-but he tried to put that
out of his mind. How he loved and
had longed for the woman he faced,
\ Pickering spark was all that kept
them apart. Should he fan it into Il
blaze or let it go out forever?
At last Tom again opened his eyes
and, looking him in the face with a
pitiful, pleading expression, he feebly
put forth his hand.
Forgive me-" he whispered in a
voice of utter weakness. Kate bent
over and kissed hm-kissed him as a
mother might her child.
Dick drew a long breath, and tremol
shook him like an ague spasm.

unsteadily. For a moment he swayed
with the rocking of the boat, pointing
straight ahead, and then he sank upon
his knees and took Toms hand in his
own.

listen to me. There's a ship coming
She's not five miles away. Think of it

been through. Let the past be bygones
Live it out and be happy"
"a ship in sight" gasped Tom. "Oh

1t taxed Dicks failing strength to the
utmost, but he lifted him to his knees
and held him thus while he looked lo-g
ingly at the distant sail. For a briet
space the luster of hope rekindled the
fire of failing vision, but it was only fol-
a moment. A film beclouded his eye
again, and he sank back to the bottom
of the boat with a gasp.
TOO late" he murmured "too late
for me"'
When Dick looked up, he met Hates
gaze. 1t was calm, steady look she
gave him and the first since Tom began
his story Dick felt meaner and guilt.

Big Bazaar for Church Benefit.

An important social affair that Will
be at once decidedly enjoyable and
probably of considerable financial bene-
fit is under way in st. Joseph's Hall,
where the ladies of the church last
evening auspiciously opened a bazaar
that will be continued throughout this
week, including Saturday night. The
attendance at the opening was large

Worked All Night on Bridge.

In the glitter Of arc lights, the flick
er of lanterns and the flare of torches
a scene of unusual activity prevailed
last night at the bridge, where opera
tions were under way all night. Wir-
ing was done Yesterday and an electric
light was placed over the first pier in
order to MAKE night work possible.
Over twenty-five men were engaged,
all working swiftly with the common
purpose of getting the pier beyond the
danger point before rain sets in and
causos another freshet that might do
more damage.
The steam concrete mixer was made
ready for work during the day and at
night was turning out the concrete as
fast as the stone and cement could be
wheeled to it and dumped in. The con
crete was being thrown into the ex-
cavation at the piGr with great speed.
Tho first of it was dumped in at the
pier abont Z O. clock in the evening. Ii
is hoped to have the foundation com
pleted before today ends. Then as soon
as the stone rises a few feet there will
be no further cause for apprehension.
To reach rock bottom excavation had
to be made to a great depth, in fact
three feet below the foundation of the
old pier James Barry, who dir
ects the work, stated last night that
splendid bottom has been struck, al
though it took hard labor to reach it.

There has been much inquiry as TO

BIDS TO Be IN
NOVEMBER 4TH

That the construction of the a.
street undergrade crossing, through
which the Danville & Bloomsbury troll
ley line will go under the Philadel-
pima q Reading railroad tracks, is to
be started very soon is evidenced by
the fact that bids for the building OF
the substructure have been asked for
by the Standard Construction COM
pany, Grovania, and must be in by
November 4th. The figures that will
be submitted by the bidders will cover
the excavation and the work of making
the concrete foundations. The railroad
company will look after the mainten.
anCe of their tracks but will have
nothing further to do with the COM
pletion of the substructure. 1t is ex-
pecte1 that six or eight firms of this
city and other places will bid on the
work, which will be of considerable
magnitude.
Bloom street was the scene Of great
activity Yesterday, when the trolley
company began operations OH n large
scale, evidently determined to lose no
time in preparing for the running of
cars right into the main part of this
city. The crew that yesterday was
started on this end OF the work is a
thnI, txua fy
five men and they are hustling the
work at a lively speed
Starting at the Reading crossing the
tearing up of rails and removal Of ties
of the trolley track was begun. This
was carried on as far as Ferry street,
the material being promptly put in
condition for immediate use in new
stretch of track Then the leveling off
of the street where the track was torn
out was started and was of itself big
job.
In the afternoon the tearing out OF
the crossing at Walnut street and the
running of new line for the track in
that thoroughfare was taken up. The
excavation and track laying will be
pushed along right up to the Reading
railroad at "A' street. where the un-
dergrade crossing is to be construct
ed.
1t can be seen from these operations
that the Danville & Bloomsbury troll
ley company means business ard is de-
termined TO get their cars in operation
in the city proper as soon as possible
in order to give the citizens the con-
venience they long have been looking
for. 1t is known that several of the
firms who will bid OIL the erection OF
the substructuIe of the undergrade
crossing are of such a standing as
would insure quick work and prompt
completion of the big job should it &c
their way. The railroad company will
be ready with their bridge by the time
the other task is finished and of course
it will take them but short time to
put the superstruoture in position.
