..CIrY OF WORCESTER"
Departure for New York-Invited

or ROat,

Departure for New York-Invited
Guests-NO Accident TO the Bridges
or Boat.
The floating palace side wheel
steamer, "City OF Worcester" built
by the Harlan & Hollingsworth Co.,
left the builders wharf this morning
for New York at $50 O'Clock.
A great amount of interest was
manifested by our citizens In the
departure of the boat as it was fear>
ed that some accident might result
either to the boat or Market street
bridge during its passage through the
draw. Owing to this interest large
number of persons congregated at
the bridge and also lined the banks
of the creek, watching with bated
breath the passage of the largest side
wheel ste amer in the world slowly
passing through the draw. Fortunate
iy they were doomed to dieappoint-
ment as the steamer passed through
the draws of Market and Third street
bridges without a scratch either to
the boat or bridges. This seems al
most miraculous, but had it not have
been that the Market street bridge
draw had been widened within the
past few days the passage would
have been very difficult, and perhaps
would have resulted in considerable
damage.
The steamer was towed out by the
tug "Taurus," Captain Heacock, who
deserves praise for the skillful man
sgement Of the towing.
1t required cool head and a hand
of iron to manage the wheel of the
steamer and both of these attributes
were found in the person OF Capt
W. II. Thompson, who guided tht
levithlau safely through all difficult
ties. This gentleman has guided mos
all the large steamers built by thu
II. & H. Company.
When the steamer left her mooring
with colors flying, she was lustli.
cheered by the large crowd present j
the yard to witness her departure. A
she passed out the creek she wa
saluted by the whistles Of the tu
! boats in the harbor and also b
: the whistles of the rolling mills.
On board of the boat were about tw
. hundred invited guests, inclodln
/ Mayor Almond, members Of Cit
Council and parties from New Yori
Upon reaching the river the vess'
, was anchored, and the tug came bac
: for the purpose of conveying numbt
of stockholders in the line, who al

liams, met their death by drowning.
While thus engaged the tug boat
Martha passed them having in tow one
of Charles Warner & Co.'s barges,
loaded with flour from the mills OF
William Lea & Sons, and canal bcat.
As the tug passed, the boys endeav-
ored to catch on to the barge for the
purpose of getting tow. When the
tug started, the boat containing the
boys was hurled against the canal boat
and they were thrown into the water.
The accident was witnessed by two
young men standing on the shore, who
at once started to their rescue. Be.
fore reaching them, however, the two
boys named had sank to rise no more
alive. Foreman managed to catch
hold OF the canal boat and save him.
self. Banks and Loper, who could
both swim, started for shore, and were
picked up by the two men who started
to their rescue.
The boys ranged in age from twelv
to fifteen years. The bodies OF th
two drowned boys were found las
evening about 10 o'clock and taken t
the res dence Of their parents on Fift
street between Shipley and Orange
and 11G8 Tatnall street. The Corone
investigated the cases and gave Gel

Cars.
The new Front and Union Street
Railway was informally opened this
morning by the running of two cars
every half hour.
The cars, four in number, are en-
tirely new and were constructed by
Bowers Dure & Co., the we'll known
car builders. They were delivered to
the company yesterday, and give en-
tire satisfaction. The cars are some
what different in construction from
those generally in use, having no door
in front. They are painted dark
yellow on the outside, while inside they
are handsomely decorated. The seats
are of hard wood, ribbed, and produce
pleasing effect to the eye. From the
centre of the cars is suspended q nickel
plated lamp. In other respects tue
cars do not differ IN construction from
those that are run on the Market
street line.
The cars will seat fifteen persons
and this morning we're filled on each
trip. On Monday the other two cars
will be put on and run every fifteen
minutes. But one mule will be used
