the circumstances. They had had
some dispute over an account for which
Mr.. Dwight demanded settlement, and
i'll the heat of the argument Mr. Jo"-
dan called Mr.. Dwight a liar.
Alderman Interferes.
Mr.. Dwight responded that though
smaller man than Mr.. Jordan, and
physically handicapped, he would not
allow any man to designate him by
that name. The two men then eX
changed blows, and when they were
separated by Alderman William Trefz
and others Mr.. Dwight was on top.
Mr.. Jordan is a man of powerful
physique, while Mr.. Dwight is a man
of smaller build, and has the misfor-
tune to have a crippled hand.

Bridge Will be Ready for Traf-

A. Y. Bayne Says Floor Will Be Laid
and One Sidewalk Completed at
End of Specified Time.

The present appearance of the work
on the new bridge being constructed at
Twenty-fourth street would indicate
that there is little possibility of COM
pleting the structure for traffic by the
end of the time limit allowed, Nov. 10,
but A. Y. Bayne, senior member of the
contracting firm, today asserted that al
least one sidewalk and the flooring for
teams will be down by that time Mr..
Bayne arrived i'll the city yesterday and
will remain till the latter part of the
week to attend to matters with Super
intendent McLain necessary to pusd
the work
Is About Half Done.
Considering the bridge and approach
together, the entire structure at pres
ent is about half completed. The APP
proach is not quite filled, but will be
within week or two. Two more piers
remain to be constructed, cement work
must be added to the old ones, and the
abutment at the north end is still to be
tedious, being all cement work and re-
quiring a long time for filling in. Cc-
ment work is also under way on the
floor over the railroad tracks, where
there will be different and improved
form over the old bridge. The cement
will protect the iron work from the
sulphur and fumes of the locomotives
as they pass underneath. The cement
will be covered above with brick paw
ing The floor in the remainder of the
bridge will be of wood with brick paw
ing.

The girders next to the two remain
| ing old spans at the north end are at
present being placed, and when these
are fastened the removal of the old
spans will be begun. The iron parts, as
fast as they are torn away. will be low
cred to barges underneath and lowed
to shore. The dismanteling of the two
remaining spans will be started within
three weeks.
The laying of the sidewalk. flor and
brick paving will be comparatively fast

that portion of the bridge.

F. S. Pendleton of New York chartered
the steamer Silver Star last Sunday and
took a party of relatives and friends down
among the islands. Two stops were made
Haven. The day was delightful from every
standpoint. A picnic lunch with boiled
Holsters was served on deck. The steamer
left Hewes Point about $50 a. m. and was
back at 5 O'Clock. Three cheers were given
for Mr.. Pendleton as the boat touched the
all taken this summer. Most of the people
are from Bangor and the drowning accident
of last week was deeply felt here. The
young men had summered here and were
known to all. A keen lookout is kept along
the shores for the bodies. An Indian with
his canoe came over on the "Star" last Fri
day morning, disembarked at Hewes' and
in his canoe started on the trail again. That
night he was heard from at Cape Rozier. E. i.

about the bay.
The steam yacht Aria owned by Hon. E.
H. Blake of Bangor, which is cruising along
the Maine coast, put into Crescent Beach
Saturday night. She does not visit Belfast
as often as formerly.
The schooner yacht Elfn, Freeland Jones,

The Sailors Snug Harbor.

Capt. Charles NJ. Havener writes from
Sailors Snug Harbor, New Brighton, Staten
Island, N. Y: 81 cannot seem to give up
the idea of keeping in touch with the old
place of mychildhood through the columns
of The journal, although l never expect to
see Belfast again. 1t is like seeing some
old familiar face from home every week
and l expect that will be the only Belfast
face l shall ever see on these grounds, al
though many of your people are frequent
visitors to New York at this season of the
year. The trip to Staten Island on our new
ferry boats, landing at the new ferry ter
minal, just opened, affords pleasant half
or quarter day to all who can spare the
time. Even if they do not visit the "Harbor"
they can have Emile ride in 20 minutes
down the finest bay in the world on a pal
ace steamer for only cents, and it will
afford more grand views than one would
get in a days travel in most parts of the
country"

CAPT. COLCORD HAS A TASK,
He is to Undertake to Cut Down a Family
Meat Bill.

He is to Undertake to Cut Down q Family
Meat Bill.
An order given Capt. C. A. Colcord, the
probation officer, by Judge Booth in the
city court this morning may open to the
captain a wide field of activity. He was
instructed to undertake to cut down the
weekly meat bill of a family that had been
unable to live within its expenses and if he
succeeds in accomplishing the task there
will undoubtedly be a wild scramble for his
services by family heads who have been
wrestling with that same problem for
months and years and have not succeeded
in solving it to their own satisfaction.
Richard Nichols, a cOlOred man, is the
person whose financial affairs the probation
officer is to look after Nichols was arraign-
ed before Judge Booth this morning on the
charge of neglecting to provide for his wife,
Mrs. Nichols said she was married to Mich
OILS on last Christmas Day. She did not ap-
pear to be altogether satisfied with her
Christmas gift. She said that Nichols had
given her just three dollars since their mar
riage: a!. .,
your meat bill your whole duty toward
your wife, do you?" asked the court
81 couldn't do much more, your HONOR"
answered Nichols, 81 earned twelve dollars
last week and paid ten for meat and two
for room rent"
"You don't mean to say that your meat
bill is ten dollars week, do you?" asked
the court.
"Judge, your honor" said Nichols. jim
pressively, holding his right hand above his
head to give emphasis to his declaration,
as true as | stands heah, just so true, judge,
that meat bill costs me ten dollars week.
You knows, your honor, that meat am
mighty high nowadays" she said.
81 think" said the court, "that l shall let
the probation officer take this case in hand
Perhaps he can advise you about your
affairs and it may be that he will be able to
assist you in cutting down your meat bill. ;"
Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols went into one of the
ante-rooms in company with the probation
officer and when they emerged after a
lengthy discussion over the relative merits
of steaks and chops and soup bones and
hamburg, Mrs. Nichols was smiling and
crying at the same time and there were
other indications that the persuasive in
duence of the probation officer had already
gotten underway the patching up of the
family troubles.-Danbury, Ct, News, July

Another Interview With Mrs, Eddy.

Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of
Christian Science, recently extended the
hospitality of her home in Concord, N. H.,
to Leigh Mitchell Hodges of the Philadel-
phia North American, and in personal in
terview discussed freely the attempts now
being made to discredit her mental ability
to handle her personal affairs. Mr.. Hodges
says: "Mentally and physically, Mrs. Ed
dy is remarkable. Almost without excep-
tion she is more alert in mind and vigorous
in body than any woman of her age with
whom l have come in contact. Time has
dealt more tenderly with her than with the
common run Of her SEX"
