UPSETTlNG A BRIDGE.


a schooner Bessie c. Beach Runs Into
Third Street Bridge-The New Part
stands Unbroken.
Tho three mastcd schooner Bessie C.
Beach Of New Haven, Conn, laden with
500 tons of ice from the Kennebec river
for the Cold Spring Ice Company, col
lded with the southern approach to the
Third street bridge abont II O'Clock this
morning. The schooner was slightly
damaged and about thirty feet of the
timbers OF the approach to the bridge
were torn away. The schooner lies
iambed in the draw with her bow in the
approach of the bridge as far as the
granite pier Of the new approach.
The schooner was coming up the river
in tow OF the tug Rambler The tide
was az tho hood, rushing rapidly up the
river, and stiff breeze was blowing from
the eastward The tug boat was headed
for the south draw, but kept of to the
northern side Of the river on account of
the wind. The crew OF the schooner
were deceived by this and thought the
tug was going through the north draw
They steered the schooner accordingly
They discovered too late to pre-
vent the accident, that the tug
was going through the south
draw. The helm was put hard down
in q vain endeavor TO str;iighton the boat,
which had gotten a shear on her, and
was heading for the approach the tug
also endeavored TO pull her off but before
the course could be changed, the vessel
struck the side Of the approach at good
rate of speed, crashing through the tim
bers and flooring up to the new stone
approach. The wind and tide then
caught her and swung her stern against
tho pier damaging il somewhat. The
stern touched the draw and wrenched it
enough TO break the heavy wooden bar
by which the bridge was turned This
was chained at the ends to the side of
the draw.
The whole of the approach outside of
the part built Of iron and stone was torn
away and knocked into pieces, much of
the timber and planking being thrown
into the river The shed on the ap-
proech used by the draw keeper was
struck by the bowsprit of the schooner and
thrown into the river, along with tool
box, which was beside It. Fortunately
no one was in the shanty nj the time and no
one was hurt. The bridge tender was
ready to jump into the river in case the
UNIV WIS AAllEA NlA "a lAo ilHits 4 III
lamp post on the western side Of the APP
proach was Knocked into the river with
one length Of the iron railing at the side.
This IS all the damage that was done to
the substantial approach, which was
built recently by Levy Courtman Hick-
man.
Tho jib boom and bow spirit Of the
schooner were carried away. with the
sails aud rigging attached The crew OF
the schooner went to work at once to cut
away the wreck, and the vessel will be
hauied ont OF the draw at high tide this
afternoon. The damage to the bridge is
about 500 or $500 The damage to the
schooner is about $3.50 or $500. The
high wind and tide doubtless are much ia
blame for the collision People crossed
the river after the collision IN row boats.
The schooner was pulled out shortly after
/ o'clock by tug and proceeded up the
river to the wharf Of the Cool Spring Ic,
Company.

cUMMlNs's CASE
IL Is Proposed Ia Abolish the Municipal
Court to Save Aim the Disgrace of an
Impeachment.

II Is Proposed to Abolish the Municipal
Court to Save Him the Disgrace of an
impeachment.
A well-known Democratic leader told an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter last evening
4 see your paper had something to say
about Cummins to-day. Well that
item is well headed, Cum
mins's cheek, and tell you his cheek
pales in comparison with some of his
friends checks You know there is con
siderable speculation about the manner
of his disappearance and also at ms
reasons for not resigning Well, II tell
you just what his reasons are and know
whereof / speak, for one of these friends
of his came to me and asked my aid in this
scheme. The Judge does not propose
to resign and neither does he propose TO
be impeached His idea is to await the
meeting of the Legislature and then have
bill introduced sbolishing the Municipal
Court The members of both houses are
TO be impressed with the uselessness OF
the court. They are to be told that
Mayor Harrington is a competent lawyer
and cminently qualified to try the causes
that come before the court and that the
old Mayors Court is to be revived. The
Cummins matter viii be used also AZ q
lever and an appeal to their sympathies
viii be made to save the family
from the disgrace Of an impeachment.
The Wolcott members will jump ut the
opportunity to deprive Governor Biggs Of
an appointment and such Salisbury
members win be worked as can be by his
counsel, Messrs. Salisbury and Bates. /
understand that the draft of the bill is
already prepared Mr.. Bates, ! am told
is to engineer the scheme. | objected to
helping it for several reasons The main
one is that the Municipal Court is the
best method to obtain justice. Under
the old system the custom was when the
mayor was absent from the city for the
cases to be tried before some justice and
part OF the money received went into
his pocket Then the present court has
final jurisdiction over cases arising under
the provision Of Article 6, Section of
the constitution, and this fact alone has
turned into The city treasury three times
the money ever received from the Mayor 5
court. A lawyer should decide many of
the cases that come before the court and
neither justice of the peace nor a bust
ness man is capable Of doing so. We
have a lawyer for Mayor now, but it is
not likely that his successor will be one.
My last and final reason is that ] would
aid in no scheme that would shield Cum
Minis, as he is undeserying OF sym
pathy.
An incident Of Cummins's meanness
has come to light. He gave City Treasurer
Griffith a worthless check for one month 5
fines. for which the city treasurer has
never received tie money from Cum
Minis Mr. Griffith did this at a time
when Cummins was about to be exposed
/ by the EVENING JOURNAL He wanted
to prevent Council from hearing Of it and
now his kindness has cost him over $500
