That Proposed Traffic Bridge.

The fact that no start has as vet
been made on the proposed highway
bridge over the st, Johns river at this
place, and for which contract was
made with The Converse Bridge COM
pany of Chattanooga, Tenn, on the
9th of last October, is causing no end
of comment, especially as the con-
tract called for the completed struct-
ure by the first of October, 1908.
AT the November meeting of the
board of county commissioners word
was received from the company that
its agent was looking into the legal
aspects of the contract, and that a
report would be made later. At the
December meeting of the board, last
week, there was no additional word
received from the company.
Mr.. Walcott, the agent of the COM
pany, and the one with whom the
contract was made, has been in the
city this week. When approached
by the News and asked to furnish
reason for the delay, Mr.. Walcott
said:
II really don't know anything
about 1t, as L have not been in the
office of the company since leaving
here in October. am here now sim
ply to consult Mr.. Hilburn over some
legal complications regarding work
we think of doing in West Florida,
and my visit has nothing whatever
to do with the proposed Palatka
bridge. Neither have heard any
thing concerning the reasons for de-
lay. can only conjecture that the
legal enquiry which the company
reported it was making, had to do
with the power of the county COM
missioners to construct a toll bridge.
Then L surmise that the present fl
nancial stringency throughout the
country may have something to do
with the delay in starting the work.
Il will say, however, that the
bridge will be built as agreed upon. |
There is plenty of time yet to COM
plete it by the date fixed in the con-
tract. 1t can be done in six months |
and we have ten. If it was matter |
Of financing the structure and we
needed an extension of time to tide |
Us over the present depression, we
feel that the county commissioners
would grant us any reasonable eX-
l have never yet been re-
fused any reasonable extension of
time on work by board of county
commissioners.
But, really, am in the dark con-
the delay in starting this
bridge work, and what l say is only
conjecture. | may have some infor-
nation in day or two, in which

Instead of going to school yesterday

A Romance in Real Life.

The runaway marriage, in which

cipals, which set Bloomsbury people
agog last week, found pleasant little
denouement in this city on New
Years day.
Mr.. Session, who has been work ing
for his company in the vicinity of
Bloomsbury for some time on last Sat
urday with Miss Showers left for
Binghamton, N. Y, where it was as
serted they intended to get married.
Miss Showers mother, it appears,
did not take kindly to the match.
basing her objection mainly upon the
disparity of age, if the newspaper ac-
counts may be taken as reliable. On
last Monday, it was stated, the mother
was in Bloomsbury and with police
man, who held warrant for Sessions
arrest, was on hand at the arrival of
every train to see whether the clipping
couple were among the passengers.
On Tuesday morning Landlord W.
O. Williams of the Baldy House, this
city, detected that he had among his
guests young gentleman named Ses.
sion. who had registered with his
wife.
The landlord was not long in put
ting two and two together and he de-
cided to have an inte1 view with the
young couple. BY that time, however,
the groom had left the hotel and the
landlord made some pointed inquiries
of the bride.
She admitted their identity as the
eloping couple and said she was per-
fectly aware that ''they were after
them. >" No dire consequences, how
ever, were apprehended. Hubby had
gone up to Bloomsbury for ma, who
along with her newly made son-in-
law, was expected down to Danville
on the next car. ....,s
The meeting took place as planned.
Exactly what followed is not known,
but there seems no doubt that there
was a reconciliation. Serene and
apparently happy, the party--the moth
er as we'll as the bride and groom
left the hotel and departed from town
during the afternoon.

McCrea Elected President.

Lila, ooh. -
At a meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Pennsylvania railroad, held
in Philadelphia at one O'Clock this af-
ternoon, James McCrea, the first vice
president of the road was elected to
the presidency to fill the place vacant
by the death of A. j. Cassatt last Fri
day. Mr.. McCrea was the natural
choice for the office and as his COM
potency is unquestioned, there was no
opposition to his election.
James McCrea was born in Philadel-
phia May 1,lS4S, entering the railway
service in 1865 as rodman and assist
ant engineer on the Connellsville and
Southern Pennsylvania railroad. In
1867 and '6S he assisted in the con-
struction of the Wilmington and Read
ing railroad. In 1874 he became prin-
cipal assistant engineer IN the con-
struction department of the Pennsyl-
vania company: in 1875 assistant en-
gineer of maintenance of way on the
Philadelphia division; in 1889, super
intendent of New York division; in
1885 manager OF Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and st. Louis railroad; in 1887 gener-
al manager of Pennsylvania lines west
of Pittsburg in 1890 fourth vice pres
ident and general manager of Pennsyl
vania company; in 1891 second vice
president, and the same year elected
first vice president, he having practic-
ally gone from the bottom to the top
of the greatest railroad service in the
United States if not in the world.
