AN OLD BRIDGE GONE.
Burning of an Ancient Structure Crossing
the SchuylkfII River

NoRRIsTowN, March 16.-The Ford street
bridge, crossing the Schuylkill at this place,
was destroyed by fire last evening. The fire
was caused by the explosion of one Of the
gasoline lamps used for lighting the bridge
The explosion occurred about 9 o'clock, and
before 1O the structure had fallen into the
river burning mass. The bridge was GOV
cred and of frame, and was erected about
1850 by Il chartered company. It was leased
by the Philadelphia aud Reading Railroad
Company, whose tracks crossed
it, connecting the main line
with the Germantown and Norristown
branch. The structure also included a
carriage ard footway. The dollhouse at
the north end was ignited, and despite the
Efforts of the fireman was consumed. The
occupants, consisting of Andrew Merrilield
and family, got out safely, and the greatest
portion Of their furniture was saved. The
burning of the bridge will seriously inter-
fere with the business of the Reading Rail
road Company. The passenger trains run
ming into Ninth and Green streets from the
main line crossed this bridge, and it was
used extensively for shifting between Nor
ristown and Bridgeport. The bridge was
composed of four spans. AS one after the
other toppled over, the scene was one of in
describable grandeur, excelling any pyro-
technic display ever witnessed. The fire
shed its light over the whole town. Thou
sands OF persons lined the river banks
watching the rapid progress of the flames,
whose headway was SO great from the start
that the firemen were utterly powerless to
check them.
The bridge was valued at about $50, 900
and was leased by company, of which
James Boyd, Esq, was president, to the
Reading Railroad Company for 800
years. A free bridge across the
river at this place has been the subject
under consideration in Norristown for the
past few weeks. Mr.. Gowen has wri tten
several letters expressing himself as favor
able to the project, and the Pennsylvania
Company have also been talking of giving
the matter their immediate attention.
AS the Reading Company will be com.
PEELED to erect a new bridge in order tt
| connect the main line and branch, it II
| thought that the free bridge movement has
received healthy boom in the confagratior
of this evening.

New Theatre opened.

The Gem Variety Theatre was opened last
evening at Fifth and Walnut streets, iu the
old Mccullough building, which had been
fitted up on the second floor with a stage,
foot lights, etc. Although the open
ing was only advertised by word Of
mouth and few local notices in the news
papers the place was jammed, about 800
men and boys forming the audience, at 10
and 25 cents a head. A large
number of persons were unable to
gain admittance. Although the play
and the surroundings were of the
crudest kind, and the performers of the very
cheap variety class, the audience appeared
delighted. The entrance to the "Theatre"
is on Fifth street, the door opening into the
room being close to the stage which is also
on the Fifth street end of the building.
There is no doubt the place will be we'll
fatronized and a new program is promised
e'ery week. As q dangerous place in case
OF hre the "theatre" as now arranged is
pre- eminently success.

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTION.
The Consolidation Of Districts and the Re-

The Consolidation Of Districts and the Re-
d'sct,on of the Force Discussed.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says: 1t is known that
as soon as the new law was passed promi-
nent Republicans in both branches of con-
gross represented to the president that it
would be an excellent stroke of policy to
reduce as low as practicable, with due re-
gard to the public interests, the official
force employed in the collection of in
ternal taxes. The house, with a Repub-
ican majority, had voted to reduce the
number of collectors from 126 TO 80, and
it was urged upon the president that unless
he should exercise his authority IN the
premises the next congress would III all
probability take action and thus gain the
credit. There have been indications that
these and other arguments have caused an
investigation with a view to ascertain how
great reduction can be safely effected.
In this matter Commissioner Raam is
naturally inclined to a very conservative
course, and, while he is willing to admit
that some reduction is practicable, he
would be very 10th to recommend one
nearly so great as that for which the house
recently voted. He would regard nineteen
or twenty as the maximum reduction
which could be made in the number of col
lection districts and collectors, and even
then would probably consider it necessary
to increase the force of deputy collectors
by the same number. Others, who are per-
haps as fully and thoroughly conversant
with the necessities of the service as is
Gen. Raum, hold the opinion that the
number of collectors need not exceed
ninety, and that the force of deputy col
lectors-whlch now numbers nearly LOCO
might also be considerably reduced, not
only with safety but with actual advantage
to the service.
The following table shows, in the first
column, the number of collectors in each
of the states named. In the second col
umn the greatest reduction which, it is
thought, Commissioner Raum would favor,
and in the third column the reduction
which other well-informed persons believe
could safely be made, with due regard to
