NEW BRIDGE

To Be Constructed Over Gatleus Greek Bu Gamden Interstate.

The wooden bridge across Cat- letts Creek, over which Camden Interstate cars have passed ever i since the completion of the road, is j soon to give place to a modern steel structure

The bauks of Catletts Creek are of *o soft and soapy a nature that it has requited much attention and expense to keep the old wooden bridge in shape for traffic. After last January flood cars had to transfer their passengers at this point for considerable time until repairs could be made, and though it has not been necessary to transfer since the late flood, constant watch- ing has been necessary on the part of the company to avoid accident.

A wAtkman at the bridge this morning said the old structure will only be temporarily patched up so as to make it last until the new iron

bridge, w hich has been ordered ar- rives, atul it is expected not long after April first.— CatlelLsburg Tribuue.

Social a Success. In response to unique invitations

sent out by tne Ladies' Aid Society of the M. K. church a large and happy throng met at the home of Mr. and Mr*. H. M. Piles last Kri- day and spent a moat pleasant evening from eight to ten o'clock. The invitations carried with them a Milk hag and the receiver was re-

quested to place therein a nickel for each foot he or she towered above mother earth. Enough people responded to make the proceeds of the evening amount to *24. A number of selections on the piano were rendered by our young lady friends and were received with hearty encores. Members of the Ceredo Orchestra were alao present and aasisu*d in furnishing music for the evening. One notable ent« r-

tainmg feature was a violin solo rendered by J. M. Harrington, en- title “A Mountain” of some kind. John’s sweet strain* would have soothed the heart of any savage beast. At about nine o’clock iho ladies served ice ere un, cake, sherbert, etc., after which all de- parted lor their several homes, voting the social a success in every

^particular.

Sam Wrluht Maki^u Good. Sam Wright, of Coredo, who is

pitching for the Louisville base ball team this season, ih going to make good, if the exhibition game he played last Saturday afternoon counth fdr anything. Sam, who is in training with the Louiville team, locked horns with the Chicago world’s -champions, the White Sox, and had them going hi* way for a time. The masterly way in which he delivered the leather electrified not only the Kentucky fans, but tne Chicago players as well. Sam pitch- ed the first five innings and allowed only two singles, and these with an error made by two of his supporters, fcjave the world beaters three scores. Two more runs made in the other four innings uave the White Sox a score of five while Louisville’s thermometer registered three. In spe iking of the game and Sam s

superb pitching last Sunday's Courier-Journal says:

‘•Wright was a complete puzzle for the Chicago busmen during the first four innings. He had the world’s champions completely at his rn**rcy, and only allowed a hit in the fifth inning after Kipp had made a misplay. It was a fine performance for two inexperienced youngsters and the small crowd gave them hearty and unstinted support.”

Saves Child From Death. I»rakcinan If ugh Griggs became

a hero yesterday when he received a fractured skull and risked his life to save a child from being crushed to death by a shifting engine, near Hansford, on the (’ A O. railroad.

I he shifting engine was round- ing a corve when a man in a

tricycle hove in sight, lie had with him two small children, free- ing the engine, be stopped the machine and succeeded in getting one of the children to safety.

Hrakeman Griggs, who was on the pilot, leaned forward and snatched the little one from its perilous position on the machine, just as the engine struck—demolish ing it, and one ot the iron hare struck Griggs in the head, fraetur ing his skull and otherwise injur* ing him.

I he injured man was taken to the Sheltering Arms hospital. Huntington Herald, March 29,
