s5 BIDDEFoRD, Aug. 2, 1871. B
Mr.. EDITOR - Knowing that your paper cir
culates 20 considerable extent among those
who are interested in the subject of this COM
municatiOn, venture to address few obser-
vations to you relative to an institution in this
city which is now receiving the attention of
our citizens and which I have no hesitation in
saying is one of the most unmitigated nuisan-
ces that was ever permitted to disgrace a COM
munity. 1t will hardly be necessary for me to
add, for the enlightenment of your York coun-
ty readers, that I refer to that ponderous pile
of old timber called the Covered Bridge, where
within the past few years, almost every rhine
in the decalogue has been perpetrated. And
yet, our people, perhaps, would be willing to
tolerate the thing itself until it tumbles down,
If the authorities would only see that it is light
ed at night. 1 believe, since the subject has
been agitated, however, that half of the bridge
has been lighted; but we want to see all Of
those FOUR lanterns shedding their rays
through those misty beams, SO that the peace
able citizen may at least have an opportunity
of seeing his assaulter. A correspondent of
the Journal, however, says that the Biddeford
end of the bridge SIS alacays'' lighted at dark
and that thega is not turned off until day.
light. This statement, if its author intended
TO say that the bridge had, even for MANY
weeks past been thus lighted is decidedly at "a
rance sith the facts, as can be abundantly
substantiated by hosts of our citizens; and the
only hypothesis on which I can explain how
person could make such an averment is that
it was done to cover up the regect of duty, in
reference to lighting the bridge lanterns, of
an otherwise efficient officer.
In common with by far the major portion of
our citizens, sincerely hope that the question
will be agitated until good substantial, OPEN
bridge takes the place of the present hideous
cODglomeratou of rotten timber. ,f-.5

Not an Accident.

To the Editor OF the Press: ...t .....,.
81 BETHEL. Aug 7th, 1871.
Who was to blame for the accident at Bry,
ants Bond, Aug. 9TH? 1 will state what was
in evidence before the COroner's jury. In the
first place, the regulations of the company re-
quire the section men to keep clear of all regu-
lar trains by time table furnished to each
foreman, and also keep clear OF all special trains
without any notice, and consequently they are
on the watch all the time. Mr.. Swan, the fore.
man of the section, says if he had been going
the other way and had met the train at the
same time, he has no doubt that all could have
got clear. Mr.. George Cobb, the engineer, saws
he received his orders from the Superintend-
ent at Island Pond, at half past three, Tuesday
morning, started soon AFTER and arrived at
Danville junction at 4.35, at South Paris at
5. Is and crossed two trains as ordered here and
and at SAB left for Gorham, ON special rules.
which require special trains to keep clear of
all regular, and signalized trains. He passed
Bryants Bond station about G. 10, and one and
quarter mies'frOm the station struck the
hand car, and as soon as be could stop, looked
at my watch and it was 6 %. He had run 16 IA
miles in from 80 to 80 minutes: at the time of
accident was running about % miles au hour.
He had whsted at all crossings as required
whistled when he came to depot, again at the
crossing just above the depot and at the cross
ing at the upper end of the village, and again
when l entered the curve. He saw the hand
car when ten rods off, reversed the engine and
whistled Immediately. -.r.-. s
Mr.. Swan says he did not hear anything of
the train until the alarm of immediate danger.
They do not hear the whistle when the hand
car is running. All on the car Jumped but
Mr.. Perkins, he turned to look and did not at
tempt to get clear, as all state He was, no
doubt, parayzed and could not move. All the
other evidence only confirms what is stated |
above. t..
reply to the question, ''Why not tell who is
to blame?" have only to say. that as far as |
known, all the rules of the road were observed |
in the case and due caution used, and if the |
rules of the comps ny do not give the section
men any rights Of way for any part of the day
without liability of being run over by wild
trains, and they consent to the rules and abide
by them, this class OF accidents cannot be avoid
ed always. The curve in which they met is
one of the sharpest on the line of the road, and

HE COAL TRADE.-The PHILADELPHIA
Ledger says the anthracite coal tonnage last
week was the greatest in the history of the
trade, exceeding half million of tons. There
has been some little threatening of Ia strike
among the workmeH. but it does not amount
to much, nor have operators any serious ap-
prehensions that there will be any trouble at
the mines in the near future. Each region, and
each company in each region, is doing its best
to get the largest possible amount of coal in the
market in the shortest possible time, though
they talk of higher prices after the present
month. The total production of coal for the
week was 481 Is tons. - !. p ~

no money" The little fellow placed himself
in theatrical attitude, with one foot advance
