THE HARBoR SIDE.
Cape elizabeth Draw Bridge Seriously
Damaged Heavy Sea outside-other


A serious and aggravating accident
bannened at Portland bridge yesterday
mornina. The three masted schooner
Viator was being towed down through
thu draw by the tugs G. A. Warren and
Belznap, her bow swung around and hit
tho .eeeat,' on which the Portlnad end of
the draw rests when the bridge is closed.
The .sseat' was badly smashed, and it is
said also that the approach to the draw
was nushed aside to such an extenJ as to
break the bridge about hundred feet
back from the draw.
The wind and tide were both strong
and the Viator went with force.
The dolphins, which the war depart
ment ordered, are already in place, SO the
accident cannot be due to lack of them.
Bennett had apparatus at work yester-
day, under direction of County Commits
s1oner Lord, taking out the broken piles.
If is thought that the repairs will require
n week or ten days, and will cost $500 or
more.
The Elizabeth City, in order to accom-
modate the travel, will run on her sum-
mer time table until the draw is mended.
The storm of Thursday night kicked mp
a heavy sea. Yesterday morning the sea
could be seen dashing high over Junk OF
Pork.
The New York boat Manhattan, which
should have sailed Thursday evening,
did not attempt to go until O'Clock
yesterday morning And even then they
found the sea too rough. The waves
dashed clean over the steamer, and Capt.
Bragg. who is no chicken on the water,
felt it best to put back into port. The
Manhattan finally sailed about one p. m.
The loaded coasters, lying in the lower
barbor for refuge, were glad to remain
with us all day yesterday.
The schooner Bertha Warner of the j..
S. Winslow fleet, has been chartered to

The two masted schooner Island Queen,

ADisputed Question.

Scientists and electricians cannot agree
upon the number of electric volts which
are necessary to cause cessation OF life
in the human body. Some claim that an
excessive sho ok is likely to cause
incarceration rather than instantaneous
death, but if they would turn their at
tention to prolonging and increasing the
pleasure of life, the public would hail
the result with more satisfaction. For
instance, the electricity generated in
wave of laughter is after all the most
pleasant shock, and to see largo assem-
bl.ee moved by current of uncontrolla-
BILE mirth while witnessing the play A
Midnight Frolic," places beyond dispute
the fact that large volts of laughter are
better than volts of electricity any day.

Music Text Book in the Public Schools.


An effort is being made by the COM
mittee to improve the music in the public
schools by the Introduction of new set
of books, which are claimed to give the
latest methods in vogue in the best
schools. The new books are now in use
in the Jackson and Casco street schools,
and are giving satisfaction to teachers
and pupils Last Saturday Mr. Ripley,
of Boston. one of the authors of wide ex-
perience, met the Jackson and Casco
street school teachers and outlined his
method for their benefit. Today, Miss
Mann, of Boston an accomplished teacher.
gave several typical lesson to the pupils
from the new books. Mr.. Ripley will
probably meet the teachere again during
next week. The new system is being
tried under the direction and supervision
of Mrs. Merrill, tho very efficient teacher
of music in the Portland schools, who
has done so much to improve the singing
of the pupils The fundamental idea
aimed at is to make music a thorough
study rather than pastime.

field.
Lieut.. Calico. in command of Fort
Retorma. on the border OF the pro-
vince OF Santa Clara and Puerto Prin-
cipe. has been besiegcd for three days

was defended until endorsements

At the mention of Clevelands name

He said that perhaps IT was caused by
a departure from Democratic pre-

He accepted the verdict with good na-

had been too much of a disposition on

This was what was fatal to success,
