THE FALMOUTH BRIDGE.
What Another Correspondent Has to Say
on the Subject.

To the Editor of the Press:
I have read with much interest can
Appeal from a farmer to the County
Commissioners, published in today's
PRESS. The writer ''hopes that the COM
missioners will place the contemplated
new bridge in Falmouth not less than 10
feet higher than the old bridge"
Some weeks ago the citizens of Fal-
mouth sent a petition to the commits
sioners, praying that the road bed of the
new bridge might be placed upon level
with the track of the Grand Trunk
bridge, or as nearly upon level with
that as possible. Since then we have
heard that the commissioners said they
would make the road bed of the new
bridge six feet higher than it was for
merlyi We think it ought to be Is or 20
have railing SO high that horse could
not possibly jump over it. All who
have travelled that road know that it is a
very dismal, pokerish, dangerous place,
and too much care cannot be taken to en-
sure safety. 1t is exceedingly unpleas-
ant to be on bridge with almost any
horse while a train of cars is rushing at
full speed some 80 feet in the air above
you and so near! In fact the Grand
Trunk ought never to have been permit
ted TO cross the river SO near the old
bridge; but they were permitted, and
they are there, ard we entreat the COM
missicners to make the new bridge as
safe and strong as it can possibly be
made. We do not expect, OF ask, them
to go ahead regardless of expense"
but we do expect, hope for and ask for a
thoroughly sound and safe bridge, and
we are confident that the people will be
entirely willing to pay for such a bridge.
The sstide of travel over this route is
large. and it is in great degree the gate
way to Portland of the towns of Fal-
mouth, Cumberland North Yarmouth,
| GRAY. New Gloucester, Yarmouth, Free
port, ETC., etc.
Now, having told the commissioners
what kind of bridge the people desire,
we do most earnestly and respectfully
ask them when we may reasonably ex-
| pect to see said bridge. The old bridge
was burned on June 9th last, and as yet
nothing has been done. as far as we can
see, and the people are wondering at the
| singular delay and inquiring continually
about it. The people from the towns
named have to go long distance to
reach desired points by reason of the
closing of the old and shorterssroute, and
| they feel that it is really heavy burden
to them, which ought to be removed as
| soon as possible. viii the commission
ers kindly give the desired information?

The Clarence's Cup.

At the store of the Stevens 6 Jones
company yesterday the cup won by the
Clarence in the 4th of July yacht race,
was on exhibition. 1t is a handsome
piece of silver, appropriately engraved.
The Clarence is one of the best boats of
her class ever in the harbor, in fact, dur
ing the p years and more of her exist
ence. she has never been beaten by a
boat of her class. That is record of
@hich very few yachts can boast, but her
success is largely due to the skillful
handling which her owner. Capt. B. w.
Jones, has always been able to give her.

Nelson Could nave IrOUte'I III @.Uo tx
G. TT. Nelson was at Old Orchard Tues
day night and in regard to the mile made
by the stallion Nelson at the new track
at Rigby park Tuesday he said that if
the track had not been wet down just
before he started his horse he would
have driven him in 2.S3 instead of 2.108.
Nelson claims that he has been unjustly
criticised for not sending his horse faster
at the races on the Old Orchard kite
track the first of the month. He says
that he never promised to or had an idea
of sending the stallion to beat his record +;
that all he did agree to do was to send
him fast mile and this he did do.

A very sad drowning accident took
place yesterday forenoon in the channel
between Great Diamond and Peaks
Islands. The exact spot was off Ever
green Landing. The victim was Harold
johnson, aged ID years, the little son OF
Mr.. Daniel F. johnson, who lives at No.
1855 Clark street, this city. Mr.. Johnson
does not have cottage at Diamond
Island, and the little boy was down
there on account of a boyish excursion
for a happy days fishing. In company
with Charles Furlong, aged 16, and son
of Mr.. Charles Fl. Furlong of No. u
Cushman street, the johnson boy started
yesterday morning to pay visit to their
young comrade, Louis O'Donoghue, SON
of Col. D. 90. O'Donoghue, who has a
cottage near the Farm Landing. The
Furlong boy was still lame, result of
an accident sustained on the Fourth of
July.
The two from the city having arrived
at Mr.. O'Donoghue's cottage, the three
boys started for a rowing expedition, in
the course of which they anchored their
boat about two hundred feet off Great
Diamond Island, opposite Evergreen
Landing. The water was smooth, and it
did not seem possible that any accident
could befall them. To anchor their boat
they used the familiar device of all boys,
=, To-, e-4,, - Il. u &c
When they started to return one boy
found that the anchor-rock was NOR e
than he could raise. 1t proved too
heavy for two also, and the three tried
to raise it. When about half way up
the rope broke and the boys fell back SO
heavily as to upset the boat, throwing
them all into the water. The little
johnson boy was seen to go down but
was never seen to come up again. The
other two boys struck out for the shore;
but the Furlong boy thought that he
could not make it and returning to the
boat he chung to it until rescued by
John Smith and John Turner, two
fishermen who happened to be going by
in their boat. The fishermen had, how
ever, given their first attention to the
O'Donoghue boy because he was seen to
go down twice. By quick, cool work
Messrs. Smith and Turner managed to
seize the drowning boy and get him into
their boat. He was blue in the face, in
sensible, and around his mouth was the
froth that comes in cases of this sort.
The fishermen took the boy ashore and
to his home, where many people col
lected. Prompt measures were at once
taken to resuscitate him; and after
fifteen minutes of rolling and other
devices, those at work had the great
pleasure of seeing their subject revive.
There was no hope for the little John
son boy. Although a large portion of
the people living on the neighboring
portions of the two islands had assembled
in excited groups on the shores, there
were no appliances at hand for immediate
recovery of the body; and at last ac-
counts it had not been recovered.

Was the Man at the Tip Top House Mr.
Thurston?

Thurston?
A young Portland man who was on the
summit of Mt. Washington on Sunday
last, says that he did not see Mr.. Thurs
ton there, although he did not look par
ticularly for Portland people. 1t was a
very stormy day, rain, hail and snow
falling, and at night there was about
three inches of snow and hail on the
summit.
1t will be remembered that the stranger
who is supposed to have been Mr.. Thurs
ton registered at the Tip Top House as
Loren NJ. Jackson, Bonneville" In
quiry at ..Somerville reveals the fact
that there is no such name in the direc-
tory of that place.
