THE LEAvENwORTH CATASTROPHE.
Bridge Gives Wny-Three Men Drowned
md Wounded,


The Leavenworth Commercial of the Sth in
slant. gives particulars of the disaster reported
previously by telegraph. The Commercial
SAYS
Yesterday noon a terrible accident occurred at
the centre pier of the iron BRIDGE which has lately
been sunk in the mid-channel. The work has for
some time been considered past danger, the iron
pneumatic tube having pierced through the sand
and reached the rock foundation. part OF the rock
itself had been cut away and the position Of the
tube was all that could be desired, when yesterday
rock mad been cut away irregularly and the stream
acting the tube caused it to keel This being
observed on board the scow, the alarm was given,
but before any precauton could be taken the entire
structure fell, crushing the boat and sinking with
her three men, and wounding another. The balance
Of the crew, seven men, escaped almost miracu-
lousy, several of them being In q skif alongside
which had been sent to recover another skiH which
had broken loose.
At present all trace of the centre pier is obter-
ated, excepting strong eddy at the place where the
smoke stack OF the steamer reaches within short
learn, the pier broke away from the moorings which
connected it with the scow, and the whole force of
the current struck against it. The pier was i'm
mersed some twenty-siX feet in the water and eight
or nine in the sand, there being sections in all
placed in position all of which are now at the bot
tom of the river.
The first indication of the accident was quantity
of wreck and lumber passing down the Missouri,
after which all kinds OF exaggerated reports pre-
vailed. The catastrophe amounts to the demolition
OF seven sections of tubing, which had been reared
at much trouble and expense, and also the destruc-
tion Of a steam ScOw.
The channel column at the time of the disaster
contained six sections each section ten feet in
length, weighing in the aggregate sixty tons. The
work of sinking it had been progressing admirably,
and there were reasons for supposing that within
few days the column would rest upon the everlast-
ing rock foundation at the bottom OF the Missouri.
The workmen were engaged in chiselling through
sheet Of rock about six inches thick, which over les
the soapstOne bed. Below the soapstone, which is
few feet thick, and easy to work through, lies the
the most important part Of the structure the acci-
dent came, and to the results of six months labor
may be added the loss OF three human lives and a
delay of several months in the ultimate completion
OF the great enterprise, and the reader will have

Wall street must have its little excitement. When
there's no swndle or gold clique the terms should
be synonyms), and no heavy movement in stocks,
somebody is pretty sure to get into scrape the end
whereof is the gnashing OF teeth and the punching
of noses. Such was the case yesterday.
Two young and promising brokers' Florence and
Nathan by name, had high words in the Stock Ex-
change Long Room relative to some trihe or other,
and, as was to be expected from such chivalrous
young bOods sailed forth to the pavement to settle

while Mr.. Florence, although not large has some
advantage in inches. Taken all in ALL however,
they were pretty well matched, Mr.. Nathan being
the most indignant.
The valorous twain were followed to the pave
ment by a crowd of friends, who soon formed ring
and made all ready for lively mill. AS Mr.. Nathan
descended the steps he was seen to carefully re-
move his valuable mother-of pearl sleeve buttons.
MIR. Florence was cool and deter mined. Both par
ties assumed the defensive Nathan holding his
hands well up while Florence showed but feeble
guard. Betting two to one on Nathan.
The men glared at each other for a moment. when
both piled in pell- NELL Florence getting in on Ma

one mass of ruins, and the whole of the corri-
dors of the old convent of San Juan de Dos
fell, burying four persons and woundng many
more. The clock tower, which was only
finished on the 9th of May was shaken down,
passing through the top of the building into the
Supreme Court rooms, and through the floors of

while it is impossible to ascertain the number
of the wounded. The shocks continued the
next day Thursday, and about quarter to 1 a
one or two very slight shocks. Terror reigns
supreme, and upon the countenance of every
one anxiety and fear of greater evil are plainly
depicted. All remained in the public squares
and outside of the city for fear that greater
shocks would come, and, on account of its di-
lapidated condition. would make a complete
ruin of the entire city.
