HE CONTRACTORS HOPE TO HAVE THE NEW UNION STA
 TON READY BY TEEN
Understood That Company Will Agree to Request for Extension
 of Train Shed.

Rumor states that officials of the Iron Maintain railrCad company have declared that the new union station would be completed and ready for occupancy by the first of April. The work has been delayed for some days on account of d shortage in building material, but the road has just receiv- ed a large consignment of brick, and j- is thought that he work will go on arace from now on. The roof has been placed over portion of the de- pot. and workmen will begin laying the terra cctta roofing in a few days. Work is also going on with great rapidity on the new freight depot, and it is beginning to assume definite proportions.
 If is said that the railroad company fS G'SpOSeu to SIdHt tlle ioquooe oA eiio city council that the train shed be ex- tended to Main street. This would be a great convenience. especially in rainy weather, so that passengers would not have to step from the shel- ter of the depot into the rain when long train was standing in the depot.
 It is stated that the Van Noy Hotel comrarv is contemplating the erec- ion of a fine eating-house just in tho rear of the new station, the presl- lont I. C. Van Noy, and the superin- tendent of buildings, L. B. Smith, hay Y hoan here this week looking over

First cutting the main cable communicating directly with the power house, they proceeded to cut down the poles. In stantly the main cable was cut. the major portion of the city was thrown into darkness. Street lights went out and residences were thrown into dark ness. While negro workmen were en- gagged in raging the poles, big, burly policemen stood guard, forming a cordon around the workman. and more than one weapon was visible. An ugly-looking shotgun protected the person of the chief actor in the play.

As all the men who are interested in the new road were not present yes terday, it was impossible fer the doc ument to be signed then. It was eiv- en over to the eXcutive committee of the road, however and they stated 10 the commission that they would re- turn it in few days with the sigma lures of all except one of those who had signed the old bond, and a few more The only man who will not sign the new bond is w. D. Hearn, as he has no stock in the road, and is also a member of the bridge con- mission.
 The willingness of the railroad men to sign the bond is full evidence that both the railroad and the bridge are pect the bond back in few days, and they will then begin the preliminary steps in the construction of the bridge. If the bond Is signed in proper manner. and there is no doubt that 1t will be, they will accept 1t as evidence of good faith on the part of the railroad men, and will advertise for engineers to make the necessary soundings in the river here inside the east and west limits of the city. This work will be done under the supevis- ion of the district engineer for the United States government, after the proceedings of the bridge commission have been placed on record, and after the district engineer has approved the work if will be turned over to the var department at Washington.
