KNOCKED OUT BY A BRIDGE.
The Pope Catlin Disabled by Collision
With the st. Augustine Draw.

The steamer Pope Catlin while coming
through the Tybee railroad draw-bridge
over st. Augustine creek at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. on the first of the ebb
tide, coilided with the fender piles of the east
abutment, ripping up her port wheel-house,
KIN cking down her A frame, carrying her
shaft aft and carrying away her bearings
on the starboard side. The steamer passed
out and came to anchor in the river, aud
Capt Swift, who was at the wheel at the
time of the accident, walked to the city to
notify Supt. Cobb of the accident, and to
send the tug Cynthia down the river for
her She was towed up yesterday afternoon,
aud is now lying at Taggart's wharf for
repairs. No damage was done TO her hull.
Capt Swift was unable to estimate the
extent of the damages, or to say when she
would be ready for the water again.
The Pope Catlin was on her way from
Thunderbolt to Savannah to take colored
excursion party around the harbor, the
Lone Star circle association of Savannah
and a delegation Of their friends from
Waynesboru. John Jackson, a colored
stevedore, was the general manager of the
excursion, and he was grieving over the
fact that he was out S65 for provisions and
refreshments. The colored excursionists
were at the wharf, at the foot of Drayton
street, waiting for the arrival of the boat,
when the news of her misfortune reached
them, and it was a sorry looking party
which struggled up town with baskets
melons and musical instruments, badly dis
appointed at the postponement.
Supt. Cobb offered to take the excursion
lists to Thunderbolt by rail- but jackson did
not take kindly to the proffer He spent an
hour looking for Mr.. Cobb, and all the time
Mr.. Cobb was looking for John Jackson
but as he found seven John Jacksons in the
city directory, not much Roadway was made
until they accidentally met on the Bay
where Capt. Swift was recounting the par
ticulars of the accident to the superintend-
emit
President Purse, of the Tybee road, re-
ports that no damage was done the bridge
by the collision. He disclaims any respon-
sIbility of his road for the accident, claim
ing that the bridge having been built after
the plans and under the advice and direc-
ton of Lieut.. Carter, of the United States
engineers office, the road is not responsible
He thinks the tlmdity of the pilots causes
these accidents, and that if they went
through the draw under full Roadway there
would be no collision. Capt Swift says &C
cidents are unavoidable in an ebb tide The
revenue cutter Boutwell, collided with the
fender pile on the west side about half
hour before the Pope Catlin's collision, but
sustained no injury The Pope Catlin is
chartered by the Coast Line road, and until
repaired cannot continue her Warsaw ex-

been employed at a saw mill by Mr.. New
ton at Eden, and that he was well &C

THE MATHUsHEK PIANO.
A Reputation Not Made by Advertis
ing.

A Reputation Not Made by Advertis-
ing.
Tho only genuine Mathushek Piano is
manufactured on the outskirts Of our city,
and it is an instrument of which our city
has just reason to be proud. For many
years they have been sold in large numbers
all over the country. and have steadily
gained in popularity and patronage And
this gain has been made solely on their
merits, for they have been advertised but
very little BY sheer force of absolute
worth they have gradually become recog-
niZed everywhere as a piano of very high
merit. In this city they have sometimes
been put to the most exacting tests as to
durability, and have always shown that
they are built of the very best of material
and with the very best workmanship. Some
new styles are now being completed, which
will meet with large demand, and the
company are always awake to every COM
nonsense improvement in the manufacture
of pianos. One of their strong points is
that the business of the factory is managed
on the most careful and economical prin-
ciples that are consistent with the best re-
suits, consequently the money paid for
these instruments is all expended for in
trinsic quality instead of partly for what
are commonly known as "incidentalsn 1t
is no easy thing to build up successful
business in the manufacturing of pianos,
and that we have here an interest of this
kind so abundantly successful, and produc-
ing goods SO universally admired and ap-
proved, is great credit and honor to our
city.-LoomiSS' Musical Magazine, Netc
