STONE BUILDERS
TO LEAVE

But one course of stone and th
coping are needed for the completion
of the abutmept on the Daaville side
of the river and Messrs. Caldwell,
Barry g Leonard expect to finish she
work before the close of the present
week. In conversation with James
Barry, the general foreman he stated
that this job was one of the best that
the firm had ever bnilt and that when
the bridge was finally completed no
better structure would be found on
the North Branch.
The laying Of stone began the latter
part of August and has proceeded
swiftly and smoothly ever since.
There we're no long delays and though
good luck as far as weather conditions
aud foods prevailed the able manage
ment has been demonstrated in the
! fine result obtained.
The work was out up in departments
with competent foremen at the head
of each. Thomas Leonard of Philadel-
phia, one of the firm was in charge OF
the masons. P. j. Barry. also one Of
the firm. of Mahanoy City, aoted as
treasurer aud with J. 8. Caldwell of
Trenton, has been here since the work
began.
James Barry the general foreman
was most important figure about the
operation. The task of tearing down
the remaining spans of the old bridge
was done under his direction as we'll
as the unloading of stone, building the
tramways, etc. He was always to be
found ON the scene and being Of a
genial nature made many friends on
both sides Of the river.

government was directed to the Jap.

he at once started for the Straits
of Shimonoseki. He entered the
straits on the morning of July 16,
1868. Tarpaulins covered the port
holes Of the Wyoming and she looked
like a merchant vessel. Inside the
narrow entrance could be seen two
square-rigged vessels and a steamer
anchored close to the town. AS soon
as McDougal saw them he held a
consultation with his officers and said:
"Gentlemep, we will either blow
those ships out of the water or sink
ourselves" He then gave the orders
to go ahead Noticing that the cen.
ter of the channel was marked by a
stake, he suspected that the guns Of
the fort were trained on this point, so
he gave orders to run in close to the

A meeting Of the Court street prop.

These heirs are Mrs ]. II. McNary
Gray, whose mother was a daughter
of Mrs. Hall. IL is in an unstable

have no interest in any of the abut-

in throwing the street open. Il is un-

will probably be necessary to have

OF the meeting, and upon motion a
committee composed OF r. Virgins,
