THE BRIDGE CAyED IN.
Fortunately No Ono Was iiurt-Narrow
Escnpc Of Street Car Passengers

Escape OF Street Car Passengers.
1t Is what has been expected for 4
long time SO the announcement that
the Eighth avenue bridge. which had
been condemned, had SUNK was NOT
SO much of a surprise to most people
as II might have been. 1t Is Just fui-
filling the prediction of those VINO are
versed on such subjects.
Nearly three months ago the city
engineer pronounced the bridge unsafe
and ordered that traffic on II be sus-
pended and put signs up warning All
net touse the roadway. The electric road
crosses the bridge at this point, how
ever and they removed the barrier 50
that they could resume Srailic. All
the time the company We're riskihS
the lives of those who rode in their
cars. the city looked on and did NOM
Ing to prevent the horrible catastrophe
which, sooner or later, must come 10
pass The crash. when II did come,
however, was one of the most fortunate
that could have occurred. Although
the weight Of a passing street car was
the last straw, no one was injured, ana
thus the city has been lucky in escap-
ing several suits for damages, when
would surely have been brought against
the city had IL resulted more seriously.
II was about 80 o'clock when III"
bridge gave way. A street ear was
coming north at lively rate, ana, as
Il neared the center of the bridge
Nctorman McDonough felt the track
sinking Immediately he put the cur
rent on full force. and, to his presence
of mind. and prompt action. is probably
due that no fatalities resulted. the
car was stopped as soon as the danger
was passed and the people walked
hack to see what they had escaped.
The bridge is sunken badly at the
lower end, and one of the heaNE
arched-iron supports was broken III
several places and bent badly The
iron braces and stringers were ais"
bent and out of place. II is really
wonderful that the bridge had not
given away sooner.
As the news Of the accident began
70 get around town crowds of curious
people wended their way 10 the place
eager to see the bridge for themselves,
Several councilmen and officials OF the
Transit company We're also on the spot.
The crowd were very indignant against
the company for thus placing the lives
of their passengers i'll jeopardy. Tne
bridge was at once closed. but opened
later for the convenience Of pedestrians
and those on the cars who We're OBJ
liged 10 be transferred.
The bridge Is still in an upriSht posi-
tion but should it be subjected to any
heavy weight or strain II would at once
be precipiiated 10 the bed of the river,
II is not yet known what the council
will do in regard 10 the matter. When
Superintendent Ducan. OF the Trac-
tiOn company. was asked whether any
action should be brought against the
city he answered in the negative, as he
wanted no fight with the city
The outlook of the affairs is looked 20
with great interest. What ii will be
cannot Vet be told. 1t may mean
new bridge at the place.
