$180,000 FOR THREE

BIG BRIDGES Expenditure of more than 11,000,000 la Inrolved In the proposed construction of three bridges across the Calumet river in South CMcafro by the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and Lake Shore railroads. Preliminary work already has been besrun by the Baltimore and Ohio, and it was announced yesterday that the other two lines will follow within a few weeks. The bridges, which are to be erected in connection with track elevation improvement of the railroads in that section of the city, will be of the vertical lift type, similar to the Halsted street bridge. The Lake Shore has planned to construct a span providing for four tracks and the Pennsylvania will have two double track truss spans 210 feet long-.. All of the bridges will cross the river on a skew and will have a clear water way of 140 feet between fenders. There will tie a vertical clearance of 120 feet above water level when the bridges are open. The Baltimore and Ohio bridge will accommodate two tracks. The foundations of the bridges will be steel and concrete cassions retslng on bed rock. Some of the advantages claimed for this type of bridge are that It gives a clear waterway the full width of the opening for any position of the span. It is further contended that It Is more rigid, economical and costs less to maintain than any other type of movable bridge. SAD EXPERIENCE HAD BY HAMMOND 'LADY Too Late to Arrive for Her Brother's Funeral, But in Time for Nephew's.

W. D. RAY BUYS LOT Manager W. D. Ray has purchased of Dr. II. C. Groman seventy-five feet of frontage in Glendale Park. For some time Mr. Ray has been figuring on buying property in this city and his selection of the Glendale lot ends his quest for a home site. He stated today that he doe not expect to build this fall, but it is likely that he will build in the spring. Mr. Ray considered the purchase of the Ohlhausea property, but he and the owner could not come to terms.

being Mrs. Van Gll(Wte former noma she decided to remain there for a short visit, and last Friday her favorite nephew ChMr Jordan, a son of a living brother accidentally fell Into a hay fork and died a few hour later as a result. The funeral of the boy was hold last Sunday. Mra. Van Gilder returned to her home yesterday. The Warsaw Daily Times speaking of the accident to the boy said in purt in a last week's issue: "Young Jordan, who is almost fullgrown despite his youth, had been he-lping to mow away a load of new hay, which had been brought to the Jordan barn from the country. "When the work was finished, he dropped the fork which he had been using an old one with a broken handle to the floor at the bottom of the hayshed. It happened that the fork alighted in such a manner that the prongs rested squarely on the floor and the sharp point of the broken handle pointed up. The boy did not think of the possibility of striking tho fork as he slipped down the side of the hay pile to the floor. The point of the wooden handle entered the lower part of his abdomen and his weight, along lwth the force of his fall, drove it into his body at least ten inches.' ERIE WILL BE ALL DOUBLE TRACKED The Erie has completed ararngements for the building of 465 miles of new track between New York and Chicago, thus completing the double tracking of its entire system. The Improvement will Involve an expenditure of about $1,000,000, and the work will extend over a period of several years. The first Important work will be on the Cincinnati division, going south from Marlon toward Dayton, which will be double tracked. A number cf minor contracts have been awarded. PIONEER VERY LOW (Special to The Times.) Lowell, Ind., July 18. George M. Death is In a very critical condition at his home and but little hope is held out for his recovery. The doctors state that he has one chance In a hundred. If they can get his kidneys to working there fs a chance for him. Mr. Death Is .'ent-vf-lAk county's well known citizens and Is a Mason and Odd Fellow and was the first district deputy of the Lake County District Odd Fellows' association. LITTLE INTEREST TAKEN IN VILLAGE ELECTION (Continued from Page L) are cast to give one proposition or the other the necessary 350 majority another election will have to be held. The lack of Interest In the proposition Is most noticeable on the south side where the Polish element that Miss Virginia Brooks managed to get out In the first election are staying home today. There Is a possibility that enough votes will come In before the polls close to make the city proposition squeeze through but this is not probable. MIbs Brooke Indifferent. Miss Brooks is not the figure In this election that she was In the two others. She seems inclined to let the citizens of the village settle the matter In their own way. In fact se is too busy on other matters of public Interest to take a hand in this matter. A committee of citizens in West Ham-

mond came to Miss Brooks and offered to back her for the offlcce of justice of the peace but the Joan of Arc of West Hammond did not take very kindly to the proposition. The element In the red light district of the north side would rather see the village for of government retained. They figure that it is easier to deal with tho president of the village, his chief of police and a few village trustee than It would to deal with a dozen councllmen ami a whole net of city officials. .So they are against the village. "Innocuous desuetude" as ex-President Cleveland called It, may be likely to defeat the plans of the more progressive citizens in the village to provide an adequate form of government for the overgrown village.

The ratification of the con tract between the board of public works and George Pmrson for the building of the adition to the pumping station is one of the things that is Scheduled to come up. Mayor Smalley wlll not be at the meeting as he Is in New York where he went to after attending the Elks' Convention at Atlantic City last week. BOXING SHOW AUGUST 3RD The Hammond Athletic Club expects to put another boxing exhibition on August 8. No arrangements have yet been made for the card of bouts. The plan will be to cater to only the club members and their friends and no effort will be made to get out Chicago sports. The club will try to pull off the next bout in as orderly a manner as possible and it Is not believed that there will be any objection on the part of the police. Geo. A. A. Mason says that he hopes the general public will be as tolerant as possible and will give the club a chance to raise enough money to get the club completely out of debt. MYSTERIOUS BLAZE A blaze of an unknown origin started on the rear porch at 187 Ogden street this noon and caused a $125 damagew Departments No. 1 and i responded to the call and when they arrived the whole porch of the two story flat was a mass of flames. The departments worked hadr and extinguished the fire before it gained headway into either flat. The lower flat is occupied by ' R. Shoate and the upper flat by Walter Sholcraft. A little damage was done by water In both apartments. The fire started at the bottom of th-j porch near the steps. Board Winds Up Friday. The meetings of tho Lake county board of review will end Friday and the work of thia body will then be ended. There does not seem to have been the sweeping revision of assessments that was expected when the board began its sessions. In fact, the information that has gone out of the county seat in regard to the deliberations of this body seems to "be somewhat abbreviated. The talk of cutting down the assessments on north side property and the talk of raising assessments on Calumet township has all come to naught, according to the best information obtainable.
