County Commissioner O'Keeffe went out on , tour ot Inspection Immediately after the rain had ceased, to determine what damage had been done In tha west end of tha eounty, and what was necessary to repair It His arrival at Elk City was most op portune, for had he been delayed a few hours the expensive steel bridge would now be resting on a sandbar down stream from "". " - dent supports. Mr. O'Keeffe found the bridge which spans the stream at the cross ing of the Military road swaying, the tubu lar piers being pushed out of place at either end, and the strain plate, which receives tha thrust of the, truss, threatening to slip off and allow the structure to fall. Log . chains were secured and the plate fastened I to the tubes and then an Investigation was I made. Bridge Bnllder Makes uiacovery. An employe of the bridge company that I put in the bridge was on hand to'asstst In making the examination, and he very care- I fully went to the extremity of proving the I other side of tha case. In his anxiety to I ahow that tha county oommiastoners had I been negligent in the matter of providing tube too short he dived and found the lower ends of the tubes lacked eighteen Inches of penetrating the sand to the hard- I pan. "Those tubea ought to be at least five f teet longer, was ma verdict arier na naa I finished looking over the structure. I I uarerui measurements were maae ana ira length of the tubes was found to be twenty- h three feet The bridge man, who apparently knew nothing of the specifications, was ex- ultant 1n the belief that the mistake Had been made by the oounty commissioners.

Whit ney, of Whitney, Stephenson ft Co., of this cityl undertakes to deliver for cash a con trolling Interest In the Monongahella River Consolidated Coal and Coke company to the Pittsburg Coal company. Henry W. Oliver represented ths Pittsburg Cioal company In the negotiations. Ths transfer of control will be through the purchase for cash of a majority of the capital stock. The Monogahela River Consolidated Coal and Coka company Is capitalised at 340.000,000 and ' its output last year approximated 3,000.000 tons of coal. The combination of Interests will represent a total of 1132,000, 000 Snd the tonnage cloae to 2S.0OO.0OO tons.

DENVER, Bept I. -The first special train bearing the first contingent of the national guard, ordered to Cripple Creek yesterday by Governor Peabody In connection with ths strike of the miners In -that district, arrived at GUlett at 8 o'clock this morning. There was an idea that they would not attempt to enter the camp until daylight Since the start from Denver Adjutant Gen eral Sherman Bell has perfected plans for the mobilisation of the entire state militia, numbering 1.600 men, should he wish to do so. An arsenal will be established, and within twenty-four hours 800,000 rounds of ammunition will be collected in the gold camp. When asked whether he antloipated any serious trouble, General Bell eald: "I do not know what we will have to meet with, but I shall be prepared for anything that may turn up." Rumors that an attempt will be mads to Interfere with the progress of the troops toward Cripple Creek caused General Bell to change the route ot travel from ths Short Line to the Colorado Midland.
