A FALLING BRIDGE.
Startling Accident at Cleveland.

The Cleveland Leader of yesterday says:-
One of the most startling and unexpected acci-
dents which could have occurred took place yes
terday afternoon, resulting in the falling of the
new Seneca street bridge which spans the canal
The cause of the accident is as follows: At about
four o'clock the man in charge of the bridge, as
well as others in the vicinity, observed span of
mules, drawing wagon heavily ladened with
barrel slaves, approaching upon run. They
plunged upon the bridge, the driver being unable
to control or check their speed. They took the
right hand track, and might undoubtedly have
crossed without causing the accident, had the
wagon not struck one of the iron supports of
the bridge with fearful force, tearing it from its
fastenings and doubling it almost to semi
circle. At this time three teams were upon the
bridge, one within few feet of the landing,
while two horses, drawing canal boat, were
directly underneath
AS soon as the shock was experienced the
bridge commenced to sway and settle, and al
most instantly fell, precipitating those who
were upon it into the canal among the timbers
and heavy iron portions OF the structure, and
crushing TO instant death the two horses attached
to the boat. Fortunately, no one or the drivers
was killed, although the one who had charge of
the mules was severely injured, to what extent
is not yet known, as he was Immediately taken
in charge by surgeon, whose opinion is not
fully given.
1t is indeed wonderful that any could have
escaped with their lives, as above the floor of
the bridge, as 1t lies in ruins, is network of
heavy iron castings and frames, from whose fall
little less than a miracle could have shielded
them. This bridge is what is known as a truss
bridge, and was erected last fall by McNairy,
Clafen d Co., and has always been considered
perfectly secure, and would undoubtedly have
stood the most severe tests for many years had
not its structure been interfered with by the
breaking of the portions described by the mo-
mentum of the wagon. AS is usual with bridges
of this class, the public has been warned against
driving faster than walk while crossing it.

THE SENATOR WHO BABBLES.

An Acrimonious Wrangle In the Senate
General Disclosures of the Secrets of
Executive Sessions.
A Washington despatch to the New York
World says:-
The Senate has virtually decided that it will
send its two imprisoned recusant witnesses to-
gether with two other recalcitrants In the per-
sons of the manager of the Western Union
Telegraph Office here and its operator at the
Senate to the Grand Jury of this District, to be
indicted for misdemeanor by refusing to an
swer questions propounded to them by the
special Senate committee appointed to ascer-
tain who purloined a copy of the treaty of
Washington. A pending resolution to discharge
the first two from custody Will be passed to-
morrow by the Senate, and will have that
effect as well as to drop further Senatorial in
Vestgation.
The report of this committee submitted to .day
makes no recommendations, but simply submits
the evidence and the fact OF the contempt of two
additional witnesses. There was a warm, irrita-
Bile. and needless discussion in the open session
of the Senate this afternoon as to the individual
responsibility for the recent investigation, which
ended in several Senators openly stating in their
defense the proceedings OF the executive session
on the resolution authorizing it. Mr.. Wilson
inaugurated this by slip of the tongue by
charging Mr.. Conkling with having prepared
the resolution in secret session, and Mr.. Carpen-
ter with having offered it.
AS Mr.. Conkling had just denied in a pains
taking personal explanation that he had insti-
tuted this investigation, or In effect had any
thing TO DO with IT, this tdpSuS ElngltB OF Mr..
Wilson fell on the Senate with the greatest pos
sible merriment and astonishment. Mr.. Conk-
ling colored up crimson and addressed the
Senator from Massachusetts, very much after the
manner in which Mr. Nye-not he of Nevada
went for the gentleman from China. 1t did
turn out, however, just as MIR. Wilson stated,
that Mr.. Conkling, at the suggestions of other
Senators, had drawn the resolution and that
Mr.. Carpenter had offered it, Mr.. Wilson,
after being severely lashed got penitential and
did not want to harm anybody. Finally one
Senator after another got up and said no one
Senator but all the Senators were responsible and
thus the two hours debate ended in a general
love-feast. Preceding all this Mr.. Chandler
made speech in earnest denunciation of the
Senatorial reporter of the executive sessions of
the Senate who had done such excellent and
faithful service for the press for ten yeass He
was not a Democratic Senator, he said for he
was equally accurate in reporting the Republic
can caucuses, for Democrats were not admitted;
but he wanted his reports stopped and the guilty
Senator expelled. A pleasant ripple of merri-
ment ran around the outer rows of Senatorial
seats at this charge, and many sly glance was
giyen toward the seat of one or two Senators
Who had been more than ten years in the body.

ROBBING RAILWAY TRAINS.
The Desperate Struggle of an Erie COnduc-
tor with a Car Thief.

The Desperate Struggle of an Erie COnduc-
tor with Car Thief.
From the Port JerVis Gazette, May %.
For three or four months the freight trains
on the Erie, while delayed on the eastern side
of Bergen tunnel, have been repeatedly robbed
by professional car thieves. Detectives have
been detailed to ferret out the perpetrators but
with poor success. The thieves secrete them
selves on the old cars standing on the side track
and when a train stops they enter the cars with
false keys, and take whatever valuable goods
they may find.
Last night conductor John L. Marvin, of
extra SO, discovered three thieves operating on
a car in his train. He grasped one of them by
the collar. The other two ran away. The thief
struck Marvin a heavy blow on the left side of
the head with what was evidently an iron bolt,
cutting deep cash about two inches long. AL
though partially stunned, Marvin still retained
his grasp on the thief's collar. The thief was a
powerful man, and dragged Marvin under the
car to the other side of the track.
The conductor managed to draw his pistol,
but the thief grasped it before he could use It.
There was strap on the pistol through which
Marvin had one hand, the other still grasplng
the coat collar, which was tearing away The
thief seized the pistol with both hands, and by
a sudden wrench broke the strap, after sinking
it deep into the flesh of one OF the conductors
fingers, cutting severe cash. lie then freed
himself from Marvns grasp, and took TO his
heels leaving his hat In possession OF the deter
mined conductor, who was covered with blood
when he returned to his cabcose.

Bold Robbery of a Jewelry Store In Lam
Pa.

Bold Robbery of a Jewelry Store In Lam
caster, Pa.
The jewelry store of Mr.. III. L. Zahm, in Lam
cester, was burglariously entered on Wednesday
night and robbed. The InteLligenCer of last
night says:-The thieves took with them eigh-
teen gold watches, most of them finished in
hunting cases, about fifty silver watches, two
hundred gold rings, and seventy or eighty gold
chains. The thieves effected an entrance by
opening CRATE in the pavement in front of the
store, which communicates with an inner
hinged CRATE, opening into the cellar under the
front window.
The stolen goods were taken from a showcase
on the counler, and from the bulk window. The
thieves were either alarmed before they had
made a thorough search of the premises, or
concluded that they had made sufficient haul
for one night, as they left untouched great
deal of valuable gold and silver in the window
and showcase they had robbed, while the ad-
joining showcase, containing great deal OF
solid silver ware, was not even opened. Neither
was the money-till, nor the other cases and
drawers containing many valuable wares There
were about fifty customer watches in the store,
all of which are safe, together with all other
customer jobbing work. The thieves escaped
with their plunder in the same way they entered
the premises being unobseryed by either the
public or private police.

NAVAL MATTERS.

The Flagship Colorado Ashore I'm the
Woosung River-The Corea Expedition
The United States steamer Benecia in n
Cyclone.
A letter from agentleman on board the United
States steamer Colorado, flagship of Rear
Admiral John Rodgers, dated Woosung, China,
April 12 says that, when proceeding up the
river she grounded on mud-bank at high
water, and being unable to get her ahoat she
was obliged TO remain until the next tide.
The water fell fourteen feet, leaving the ship
high and dry but she lay easy, and so little did
she feel the effects of her position that the state
room doors open and shut as easy as If she was
afoat The ship came off in due time, and pro-
ceeded to her anchorage uninjured AT the date
of the writing she was preparing to lead the ex-
pedition to Corea.
The Corea squadron will consist of the flag
ship Colorado steam corvettes Benecia and
Alaska, gunboat Monocacy and tender Palos.
The ships take with them a crew of shpwrecked
Coreans picked up by an American vessel, who
will be landed as soon as the fleet arrives, and
who will naturally inform their countrymen of
the kind treatment received at the hands of the
people who come to treat with them.
Should Admired Rodgers fail in bringing the
Coreans to terms he will use force, and is pro-
vided with all the appliances for vigorous pun
ishment for their past misdeeds. Should the
expedition accomplish its ends by peaceful ne
gotiatitons, will return to Hong-Kong about
the middle of May.
Beneca states that they have had seventeen
cases of smallpox on board, but at the date of
writing all hands were well. Two of the sick
were left in the hospital at Yokohama. On the
passage from Yokohama to Hakodadi and
while in the Kurisino, or Japanese Gulf Stream,
the Benecia encountered a cyclone in which she
was nearly lost.
The first cutter was washed from the davits,
the dingey stove, the ward-room and cabin
flooded with water, and the ship wet from stem
to stern below. Following this she encountered
a severe gale of wind up TO 40 degrees north
latitude, and for five days was trying to get to
windward under canvas, but making leeway all
the time steam was raised, and getting under
the lee of the land, she arrived into Hokadadi.
All hands well on both ships.

Edwards and Collins Have "A Set-tO-BOth
Men Arrested.
'Tim" Collins and BILLY" Edwards fought
eighty-five rounds yesterday afternoon, on
Gloss Farm, near East New York. Darkness
put an end to the conflict, which was ordered
TO be renewed this morning. Meantime the
men returned to this city, and Collins ar
rested last night by Detectives Dunn and Kelso,
at "Billy" Clark's, in Houston street. They
took him to Police Headquarters, where he
was locked up. This morning he viii be ar
raigned.
About midnight Detectives Dunn, Kelso, and
Quinn found Billy Edwards at the new place of
William Varley, otherwise known as Reddy the
Blacksmith, in Hudson street, near Dominek
street, and arrested him. Taking a carriage
they removed their prisoner to Police Head
quarters, where they locked him up in a cell
adjoining that of Collins. The arrest Of the two
principals in the fight created great excitement
among the admirers. of the fstic sport, who
1ocked TO Police Headquarters in great numbers
and had to be kept back by the officers on duty.
Both the men are badly punished, but when they
met in the corridor of the cells at Police Head
quarters, at an early hour this morning. they
laughed and shook each other by the hand,
although the operation gave Edwards some little
pain. They will both be taken to court to-day.
