center pier. Here the plledrlyers drew
away from the scows and one anchored
alongside OF the center pier and
the other about a hundred feet away.
Ropes were run out from the piledrivers
10 the scows and made fast. The tugb2ats
went around to the rear OF the scows to act
as rudder and to tow them up stream
again in case they floated below the pier.
When the tugb0at tackled to the rear of the
scOws the piledriyer5 drew in on the ropes
and brought the scows one on each side of
the center pier. The draw was then in po-
sttion to be lowered and swung around on
its bearings so as not to block tile river.
The work OF towing the draw, which was
attended with many dangers. occupied just
two hours and fifteen minutes.
One OF the biggest obstacles In the river,
which the men in removing the bridge
had to look out for, was the ferry
float at One Hundred and FIfty-sixth
street and Seventh avenue, which is almost
under the span of the bridge. The float
came near being carried away yesterday and
completely wrecked. AS ii was it was taken

The Haggerty Guardianship Case stUI

The application for letters Of guardianship
over Charles Haggerty filed by Secretary
H0lbrook Of the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty TO Children came up Yesterday
before Judge Coffey. Owing to an implica-
tion that the application was in the way of
a retaliation for a charge made against the
police by Haggerty's stepfather the court
decided 10 postpone Its decision for TWO
weeks.

Gently married one Richards, aged % years.
Mrs. Richards has seven children. and when
her new husband came into the family the
elder ones began TO drop out and live AWAY
from home. The testimony smoke highly OF
Richards character and uprightness, and
the court said that If It found it necessary
TO appoint a guardian IL would have no OBJ
lection TO attach finding clearing the STEP
father from the stigma of cruelty to the boy.
II seems that Charles HaggeTty has been
making $50 per month and paying his
mother SO month out of that wage. But
on her marriage, or shortly efterward, he
refused TO contribute 10 the support of the
younger children, and Richards was sent
by his wife TO the place where Charles
worked to ask the employer to retain some
money for her. The employer stated that
Charles had better find some other place TO
work. as the distribution of his wages
would occasion too much trouble. The fact
Of his stepfather's alleged interference in
this was one point made for the applica-
ton.

Mothers of Great Men.

A great deal has been written about the
Mothers of Great Men," We imagine,
however, that the folk of Leonberg, in
Nuremberg have started a precedent by
erecting memorials to series of mothers of
great men. This little township of 200 in
habitants was the birthplace of Pauus, the
famous theolOgian of Schelling. the equally
famous philosopher, and of Hochstetter,
the naturalist. 1t was also the dwelling
place of the mother of the poet Schiller
from 1896 to 1901, aud of the mother of the
astronomer Kepler two centuries earlier,
though three villages in the neighhorhood
contend for the honor of being Kepler's
birthplace. The Town Council of the
'Town of Mothers" as it proudly calls
itself, has affixed tablets to the walls ST the
old castle OF Duke Ulrich, the wel-beloved,
where the Magma Charta of Nuremberg
liberties was signed by the Duke, in honor
OF the mothers of the poet aud astronomer.
We presume the patriotic town councillors
will not stop short at these two honorable
women, but VIII extend similar tokens OF
respect to the other mothers of whom they
are so justly proud.

MOVING A BRIDGE.
An Interesting Engineering Feat on the
Harlem River.


New York Herald, August II.
A unique engineering feat was witnessed
by a crowd of men and boys yesterday
afternoon, when the draw of the old Ma
combs dam bridge at One Hundred and
Fifty-ffth street and Harlem River, which
was raised from the center pier last Satur-
day, was taken up stream on two pile
drivers and placed on the new center pier OF
the proposed temporary bridge at One Hun
dred and Fifty-sixth street and Seventh
avenue.
Two long railroad scows were floated
under the draw, one on each side of the
center pier upon which the draw swings.
Then the scows were fastened together at
one end by heavy planking, making their
surface like quadrilateral with one end
open. Upon the sc0wS were erected stag
lngs of heavy tialber and built just so high
that at low tide the scowS could be finated
under the bridge AS the tide rose the
scows lifted the bridge from Its bearings on
the turn-table. This was accomplished last
Saturday.
When the work Of removing the bridge
was continued yesterday the first thing that
was done was TO tow the scows on which
rested the heavy staging and the draw up
