Harrisburg Newlyweds Try to Skip Board Bill Special to The Telegraph Hagerstown, Md., Oct. 2.—By put ting up a bold front a Harrisburg couple, newlyweds, tried to skip their night's lodging and -board at one of Hagerstown's leading hotels yester day. They came to the hotel, pro cured a room, stayed all night and took one meal. About 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon both came down stairs with their baggage and started out the front entrance.

CRITICIZING RIVER WAIL coins [Continued From First Page] wall, it has been a matter of some curiosity as to why the cleaning out has not been done long before now. Inasmuch as the river is at the lowest stage of recent years, the failure of the contractors to push this section of the work before a rise of the water makes it impossible, is a matter of much adverse comment. There ait; hundreds of tons of the very best filling material between Iron alley and Maclfiy street, but there is no serious effort to remove the same. Unless this is done the attractive char actor of the river wall will be largely destroyed. Notwithstanding the string- YOUR SICK CHILD 15 CONSTIPATED!

EDMUND SKIFF, Director, in Harrisburg Tuesdays and Wed nesdays, beginning Sept. 29th. MISS R. FLORA WEIL, As sistant. Studio 23 North Third Street ers between Heri* street and the pumping station have been tinished lor weeks and groat quantities of ma terial is necessary to fill in between these stringers and back of them, the gravel find stone and dirt outside the wall southward is permitted to re main. Corporal's Guard at Work North of ' "Hardscrabble" a steam shovel is located outside the wall and is operated spasmodically, while three or four wagons iijid a corporal's guard of men pick and shovel the great quantities of material awaiting re moval. [ Charles D. Stucker, of the construc tion company, is quoted in un inter view herewith as saying that in his [judgment it is not necessary to put on additional men and that the till is now being dumped above "Hardscrabble" preparatory to puddling and laying of the sidewalk. Mr. Stucker must know that at the present rate of progress the removal of the enormous quanti ties of gravel and other accumulations outside the wall cannot be accom plished in a year. At least 100 men could now be employed and scoqes of wagons in rushing this work as against the impending Fall season with its rains and higher water. Hoard of IHibUc Works Should Act It would seem to be the duty of the Board of Public Works and those in authority to compel something like energy on this part of the contract. Work on the river wall and steps and the I'axton creek improvement was resumed with renewed zest to-day following the "public-spirited action of the Harrisburg Trust Company, the I'lrst National and the Harrisburg National Bunks yesterday in agree ing to assume'the remaining $132,000 of Harrisburg's third improvement loan at 4 per cent. The condition of the bond market during the last few months had aroused some question in the minds of the sinking fund commissioners as to whether the remainder of the bonds could be lloated at 4 per cent, the usual city rate. The money, inel. dentally, was necessary to permit the continuance of the big jobs. In mu nicipal circles some, doubt had been expressed as to whether or not the operations on the wall and the creek could be llnished if tho bonds were not floated as the money was neces sary. Charles D. Stucker. president of the Stucker Brothers Construction Com pany, the contractors building the rives wall and steps, discussed the situation on the river front in view of the arrangement for provision for the money. Won't Put On Additional Men "While we do not think it necessary to put on additional men, I can say that the work is progressing nicely and we will continue to push the job as rapidly as possible now in order to get It completed before the extreme cold weather Interferes. "We have 200 or 250 more men on the Job now, I should say; we vary from 200 to 250 or 300 right along on our payroll." "How much, approximately, have you finished and where are the gangs at work now?" Mr. Stucker was asked "We put in tho last stringer at the pumping station yesterday. While this gang was at work on the stringers an other gang of concreters was busy putting in the steps from Herr street southward. We've completed about 500 feet of that work and will keep building down stream. To-morrow or perhaps early next week we'll make a shift in that crowd so as to bring one gang down to a short distance below State street to complete tho placing lof steps. This gang will then work | northward to meet the gang coming 'southward on the step construction. ' Placing the Sidewalk ( 'lWhen will you begin placing the < walk ?" « '(We are now getting the section north of 'Hardscrabble' ready for the walk," replied the president. "Fill is now being dumped on the stretch and we are preparing it for puddling. As, poon as this is finished we'll be ready for the sidewalk gangs. We expect to have at least 1,500 feet of the stretch above 'Hardscrabble' in shape to receive the concrete walk by the middle of the week.
