tVeryDodyS lips after the morning ses-
SION or the jtIuse yrst' Iday morning

accepted the minority report of the
committee on temperance of ought to
pass en- the bill to include cider con
tanning over three per cent. OF alcoho.
n tn" list Of Intoxicating, liquors. The
question when IT came up occasioncd
l spirited discussion ,.art;t mated in Dy
Representative Stevens. Trainer Of the
bill, Representative O'Brien one OF the
signers of the minority report and Rep
rcScntative FioNeS.
Mr.. Stevens made an earnest and
eloquent plea Tor his bill and said in
arguing for its enactment tina. hard
cider was III" cause of more drunken
ness than any other one of the prohi-
bited intoXitantS upon our statutes
Representative OBr:en thought that
there should be consistent enforcement
of the laws aul that if prohibition was
wanted that the sal. OF one intoxicat-
ing beverage should not be tolerated at
the expense OF me others.
Representative Stevens was indg-
nant indeed when Representatives
iFowes said that thu committee On
temperance had looked upon ii with
disfavor because it vas considered i'll
sincere and stoutly denied that such
was his int ion. NJ. stevens motioa
that the minority report of the COM
mittee of ought to BASS" be substitute
ed for the majority report of ought
not to pass" prevailed.
1t is a question what action the Sen
ate will take upon this bill: when it ap-
pears in that branch. today. The
friends of the temperance cause look
upon the result of the vota on the cider
bill as good omen and predict the
passage of the SturGis bill by a ma

The New Highway Bridge.

The new highway bridge, building
over the Potomac about l, 400 feet north
west of the old Long bridge, is now esti
mated to be three fourths finished. IL IS
also estimated that the bridge will be
opened to traffic some time In SePtem-
Der. The masonry work, which consists
mostly Of the piers, is practically done
The only remaining work to be done In
this line is the building Of one whole
pier and part of another The most
of the steel that is shortly to be put
in place on the bridge is al
ready on the ground, and most OF the
false work between the piers is ready for
the receipt of the steel. The approach
TO the bridge on the Washington side
has been completed all but for the paw
ing; the building of the approach on the
Virginia side has just been commenced,
the contract having been awarded q few
days ago. The new b.idge lie 666 feet
longer than the old Long bridge and
will be entirely different in che respect
from the old structure, not having any
wood used in its construction. One dis
tinctly new feature in the new bridge
over other bridges in this vicinity will
be the electric draw. The draw will be
operated by electricity furnished by the
Gar line. For the prevention of acct
dents the draw has been 50 constructed
ahat it will be impossible to move the
draw before the safety gates are closed.
