WILL BUILD AT ONCE.
(A Ke -Bridge tu Constructed at
Kighth Avcnno.
The city will shortly have a new
lir dee In nlace or the olrt Blent n av
nuo 'brl'lje which broke down on Sun
day. There was a full attendance of
both councils to discuss the subject of
tJie bridge, and to decide what should
le done. In the common council Jir,
MoDnnough ald that 11 certainly : was
the duty of the city to keep all hlRh
ways hi good condition. He also said
that no one had a rljrht to abuse these
highways, which had certainly been
done by the Traction company in tak
ing cars of coal across the brltlse. He
thought that the collapse was directly
due to this. Mr. linker's opinion on
the subject was the same, and he said
that it 'had been subjected, to a strain
of nearly twenty-five tons at one time.
Mr. Clennon also spoke of the abuse
of the brlilce by the Traction company,
Ho said that notwithstanding all at
tempts by the council to keep It up
that It had failed, and was now worth
nothing.
Mr. Pender, in speaklne. said that
he thought the Ftroet committee should
wait on the Traction company, and he
thought they would be willing to give
something toward a new bridge.
Some diseusFtan was had In regard to
the kind of bridge that should be con
structed, and it was In the opinion of
most that iron was the only material
which would te suitable. If a stone
bridge were constructed two arches
would be necessary, which would bring;
a pier In the 'middle of the stream
This would rrobably cause the water
to overflow .the banks during the llrst
freshet.
City Engineer Friok had been heard
to say that the abutments were still
In good condition, ami a resolution In
structlng him to prepare plans and
specifications for ai substantial Iron
structure was passed.
A communication from General
Manager Aitken. of the Traction com
rany. was read. Some one said that
the Traction company had signltled
their willingness to put the bridge in
a. safe tonoMtion temporarily, if they
had the permission. A resolution giv
ing the desired permission was passed,
which was amended by the common
ers that the cost should not be levied
upon the city, and that it should be
free from all liabilities for damages.

AN EXCITING KCNAWAY.
J. B. Shannon k Company' llnrsa Runs
Down Lincoln Avenue.
Tuesday evening a horse belonging
to J. 11. Shannon & Co., and which was
attached to a light market wagon, be
came frightened and set off at break
neck speed. Plerson, the driver, saw
that he could not control th? animal,
and jumped from the wagon. Down
the hill it came, the wagon slewing
from one side of the road to the other
and taking all before it. However,
nothing happened until Church street
was reached. Here the horse tried to
turn the corner, and failing, the wagon
smashed against a telegraph pole and
became wedged between that and an
electric light pole. This ended the mad
race of the frightened animal, which
could not proceed, although it strug
(tled Ineffectually. When finally quiet
ed it was found that it was entangled
badly in the harness.
The most exciting part of the whole
affair was the narrow escape which a
bicyclist had. John Koskoff, superin
tendent of Klota 'Bros, silk mill, was
coming up the street on his bicycle
and was running near the curb at
Shepherd's store; Just at this time the
horse came around the corner and ap
parently ran Into Mr. rtoskoff. Just
how he came to escape he is unable? to
tell, and as It was dark the spectators
were unable to see. As the crowd gath
Koskoff was Just pulling his wheel out
from under the wagon. He was not
hurt In the least, and the wheel also
escaped damage.
