BRIDGE MOVED.
When One OF the Deadly Coal Schooners
Struck it.

There was rather q serious accident al
the Portland end of Cape Elizabeth
bridge Saturday morning, of nature te
suggest the question:: Chow much like
treatment would tho bridge stand with,
out the draw going oui?"
The big coal schooner Mary E. Palmer
was being taken through the bridges by
two tugs. 1t is needless to say coal
schooner strikes heavy blow, as the yes,
sells of the United States navy have dis.
covered to their cost on number of oc-
casions.
Exactly how it happened no one seems
to know, but in some way the big sohoon.
or was carried against the bulkhead with
great force. The chainplatos of the
schooner were pulled off, and the bridge
itself at the drawer bent before the shock,
and was actually forced up stream by the
pressure Of the deep-loaded coal schoon-
or.
When the Palmer had gone through
and Mr.. Whitley Jordan, the old and ex.
perienoed' bridge tender, tried to get the
cradle damage had been done, and that
the bulkhead had been forced up the riv
err. The irons of the Portland &c Cape
Elizabeth railroad company would not
connect, and the next thing was to gel
the draw back in line.
This was accomplished in part by cut
ting the timbers and III part by the ap
plication to the case of the old rule
''The hair Of dog is good for the bite y
The blow Of the coal schooner had sent
the tlmbers up stream, and counter
blow might send Them back.
The experiment was tried, not with the
Palmer, but with one OF the tugs, and g
strong down stream blow was directed
against the bulkhead and the draw
closed, not perfectly, it is true, but neal
enough to permit the resumption o.
business by the eleotrics.
The Palmer did not strike a direct
but siding blow.
OF course no blame is attached to Mr.
Jordan, who acted promptly and effeo
lively, and made the best of bad mat

One hundred and fifty eight moro vol
u1ues have been purchased than during
the previous year.
Every department Of the library has
been enriched by something of perma-
nent value, the purpose of tho book com
mittee having been to choose only the
best OF the many new publications
offered, and to supply any known defio-
iancy of standard works.
The percentage Of fiction added is lare-
er than usual about 500 volumes of this
class having been purchased. The ac-
tion of the book committee in regard to
the duplication Of popular novels has
been most acceptable to the patrons OF
the library, and their demands have been
more nearly met than in former years.
but the appetite for the "new and inter-
esJing," is Unsuitable, and the cry for
''mcre'' still rises.

bound Volumes given to the library with
