Der fslsewoTk OF the two foot-bridges sus-
pended from the main cables. burning
away the supports until hearty a million
feet OF blazing lumber fell with a mighty
splash and hiss into the stream.
The fall OF the foot bridge carried away
scores OF the lighter cables and guys, which
trailed in the water. rendering Il necessary
for the police to stop all trafic up and
down the river. The Fall River steamer
Puritan and several craft had narrow es-
eapes while running the gauntlet Of fiery
brands that fell in showers from the burn
ing bridge.
The fire started in tool shed and spread
to the great timber framework. Within
FIVE minutes after the discovery the whole
top OF the tower was in a blaze. Then
the foot bridges fell. carrying with them
many tons Of bolts. rivets. nuts and tools.
At that moment the Brooklyn hreboat was
Just below the bridge and a heavy steel
beam fell on It, breaking its rudder and
sending II drifting. helpless, down the
stream. Sound steamers and all other up
river navigation was stopped.
Daniel Brophy and his brother John Of
Montreal A. P. Mcbride and an unidenti-
fed man were at work on the tower when
the fire started. While they we're helping
the iremen to haul up the hose the frame
work on which they stood collapsed and
the two Brophys and the unidentified man
were hurled into the river. Mcbride saved
himself by catching a piece of projecting
steelwork
