HIS MISSING WIFE

CINCINNATI, O., March 10. - The
police are securing the city Of Cincin-

this afternoon in search of Mrs. Anna
Thompson, bride of Richmond's blind
piano tuner, Orville C. Thompson.
Mrs. Thompson strangely disappear.
ed at the Central Union depot here TO-
day while on the way back to Rich
mond with her new husband, after a
honeymoon stay at this city and in this
vicinity. Thompson told the police
here today that he strangely became
separated from his bride and heart
broken.
He says he withdrew his money from
a Richmond bank after his wedding
there last January and came here with
his bride for few days vacation. The
court of domestic relations was at first
appealed to in order to try to re-unite
the couple and the police are aiding to
that end.
Thompson will probably return to
Richmond tonight sadder and wiser
man tonight continuing his search
from that point. The bride is said to
be we'll known here previous to her
marriage to the Richmond man.

Plans and specifications for the new
$4,000 Main street bridge were pro
scented to county commissioners fo1
approval at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Engineer Mueller. New Castle, said
that plans for the $185.000 South g
street bridge are being delayed be-
cause they are being constructed SO
that the same molds can be used on
both bridges.
He advised that bids be advertised
for separately. In case commission
ers accept the plan, bids for the Main
street bridge will be advertised for the
last Of next week.
Expect Equally Low Bids.
II is thought that bids will be as
low IL contracts are let at different
times as they would If both contracts
were let at once because Of the pros
pect Of the contractor for the Main
street bridge getting that for the 9
street structure In event the con-
tracts are granted to different firms.
they would cooperate in the use OF
machinery, thus cutting down ex-
penses.
REPRESENTATIVES, VI oCNCio al IoA SC
contracting firms. some of which are
expected to present bids on their own
plans, were present when the plans
were presented this afternoon.
The commissioners will probably
give little consideration to bids sub
mitted on plans other than those pre-
pared by Mueller.
The specifications call for either
stone or gravel as crude substance to
be used in making concrete.
Provides Three Large Spans.
A profile representing the bridge as
It looks when completed is attractive.
Three large spans. 125 feet each in
length, span the deepest part OF the
valley. There are two approach spans
forty feet long at each end Of the
bridge. The new bridge will be forty
feet shorter than the old one. Dirt
which will be taken from the court
house basement when the coal bin is
enlarged will be used to make the
necessary fill at the east end.
All arches which support the bridge
