to the extent of $1,000 were made and
paid in small amounts. Since the
meeting seven subscriptions Of $500
each have been received by Mr.. Aler.
There are now in the hands of Mr..
Byron, secretary of the-company, APP
plications for almost double the
amount Of capital stock. The amount
of subscriptions of gilt edge nature
held by the two counties is a little
over $4,000. By Saturday of this

lieyes that the entire amount of stock
will be subscribed between the two
counties concerned. AT first the hope

hold the control of the bridge in
Berkeley and Washington counties,
but the outcome has far exceeded
this.
Some prominent men of Maryland,
outside Of Washington county, have
put in applications for stock for large
amounts-one for $4,000 and another
for $4,000 Such applications have
been held in order to give prefer
ence to the two counties and to allow
sufficient time for them to subscribe
for what they want. Applications
have also been received from parties
