A conference between the bridge COM
mittee of the Levy Court and tho street
and Sewer Commissioners, IN regard to
building macadam road from the south
side of Market street bridge TO the city
line was held at the rooms OF the latter
body Yesterday afternoon Those present
were Levy Courtmen Logue and Brown
and Street and Sewer Directors Johnson
and Melvin.
The Levy Court some time ago agreed
to pay half of the cost OF bmlUng the
road, believing its share would not be
over SO 600. The two bodies adver-
tised Jointly for bids, but only one bid
was received. II was from Stewart &
Donahue. and their figure was about
50 500. This was more than either body
expected the road to cost and for that
reason the matter has been held up.
The Street and Sewer Department
several days ago addressed a communi-
cation to the LEVY Court. stating il would
build the road for 81 ,S35, provided the
county would pay half that amount.
Mr.. Logue, at the conference yesterday
stated that the Street and Sewer Depart
mental propos had been brought to the
attention Of the court and it was the
general opinion that as the department
/ was not a bidder it could not legally do
/ the work. He said some OF the mem
| bers had favored giving only $1,000
towards the work, but it was finally do
cided to make the limit 81 1000 and the
Street and Sewer Department pay the
remainder.
Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Melvin said they
would not be willing for the department
to pay as much as $500 towards the
work, which would have to be done if
the contract was given out at the figures
Of Stewart 4 Donahue. There was some
discussion as to whether OF not a city
department could bid and the opinion OF
the city solicitor may be asked on this
point. Mr.. Melvin said the department
could do the work much cheaper, as It
has its own roller. engineer and foreman,
for which nothing extra would have to be
paid. He also said the department would
have It's own stone, which it gets out of
sewers, and the only expense would be TO
crush It. 1t was brought out that there
has been an increase in the price OF stone,
which Stewart & ponahue had 10 take
into consideration in estimating on the
work The department s engineer said
he considered the bid of Stewart & Dona-
hue a very reasonable one. but the de
partment. on account of the items men.
toned, could do the work cheaper.
, A suggestion that the road be made but
eight inches deep instead Of y on the
south side Of the railroad met with favor
The Street and Sewer Directors asked
TO be given until Tuesday TO further con
slider the matter, and on that day vii
visit the Levy Court and report wha
plan has been agreed upon.

the Water Department II is absolutely
necessary to lay one 4S-inch main across
the Brandywine at the point. as soon as
possible; that is to have the connection
made bv the time the new reservoir Is
ready to use. and, should the pipe be laid
in the bed OF the stream, 1t Is
figured out. the cost would be about
$4,000. In few years another pipe
would be necessary. making an additional
Sf5OOO outlay. and it would probably
not be verv long before it would be neces-
sarv to have a third pipe there, which
woi,ld probablv cost as much, making a
total of s45.0 600 TO get those three pipes
across the Brandywine, and II they were
laid under the stream nothing else would
be accomplished.
The plans for the bridge provide Tor
three 4S-inch mains between the top oi
the arches and the floor, the bridge being
Of concrete so that when more than one
pipe is needed it will simply be matter
Of making the additional connections a.
the bridge ends. The new bridge will
it is estimated, cost about 5iOOO ana
besides having the water mains properly
cared for. there will be an ornamental
and useful bridge, the cost OF which Will
be $4,000 less than would be the cost OF
LAYING three mains across the Brandy
wine as they are needed.
The bridge will afford not only a walk
for pedestrians, but will also connect with
the drives on the north and south sides,
being on a level with the south SIDE driVe
at Van Buren, street. A slight elevation
will be necessary to go from the drive on
the north side to the bridge.

Officer Hutton Chased 8 Negro Who Re-
sembled Isaac Winder, Wanted in Bal
timore.
While pstroling his district yesterday,
Police Officer Hutton noticed colored
man at Iwenty-second and Washington
streets who resembled Isaac Winder the
negro who, while under sentence Of death
for murder, escaped from the Towson jail,
near Baltimore, on Monday last.
Officer Hutton started after the negro,
who was about a square away from him.
The negro ran, with the officer on his trail.
At Thirty-second and Madison streets the
negro bolted through the woods and was
soon lost to view.
Officer Hutton got a wagon and drove
to Shellpot Park TO try to intercept the
negro. AS he approached Shellpot school
house the negro emerged from the woods
not far ahead of him. The officer fired
several shots in the air to frighten
the negro, but the latter got away.
The search was continued last night,
but without result.
Officers had similar experiences with
suspects, yesterday, near Baltimore and
Philadelphia.
