"ReIiqious" Skyscrapers.

"To look at the new Office buildings
going up in this town." remarked a
New York student of architecture,
"one would think we had been going
through a great religious revival, that
is, if the style Of the architecture
of period is any evidence of the
spirit of the times. l cant put my
Gnger on the cause for this rage for
the collegiate Gothic that is now so
much in evidence since the Trinity
skyscraper was put up, but that order
of architecture certainly is very much
in evidence just now To mention
only two striking instances which
remarked on looking out of Bowling
Green building to-day there is the
new annex to the Trinity building and
the recently finished structure of the
Jersey Central on Liberty street. If
it were not for the new apartment
hotels uptown one might we'll imagine
that none of our young architects had
ever heard of the Beaux Arts archi-
tectural school, with its influence on
them in the way of making them turn
out such French Renaissance atroci-
ties as distigure our uptown streets"

Mary Musil, was convicted in the munic-
ipal court on Monday on charge of
larceny He was sentenced to pay fine

Woeful Misinterpretation.

That the effect of choice and ap-
propriate phrase is sometimes lost
and ofttimes woefully misinterpreted
Is well illustrated in an incident con
nected with the death of Virginia
lawyer.
During the mans illness the wires
were disconnected which attached the
bell to the old-fashioned pull knob on
the front door.
A messenger boy came to the house
one morning and began pulling at the
bell. There was no response. He con
tinued to jerk the ancient knob vigor-
ously. A white-haired gentleman final
ly appeared, who raised his hand
warningly and said:
"My boy, the silver cord has been
severed"
as that so?" exploded the boy.
From the way 1t acted l thought the
whole darn thing was busted"

TENTH STREET BRIDGE
DAMAGED TO EXTENT OF $500.

The Erie line steamer Chemung, load
ed with -four, sruck the Tenth street
bridge while the craft was leaving port
at II o'clock Wednesday night, April IL,
and damaged the structure to the ex-
tent of about three hundred dollars.
The Chemung was towed by the tug
Arctic, Captain Sniffin. The steamer
had difficulty in making the bend in the
river 80 as to get in line with the north
draw, and the big heavily loaded craft
struck the west end of the center pier,
breaking several large ioists and push
ing the protecting piling four feet out of
line, toward the north draw
The bridge tenders saw the imminence
just in time to save the bridge from
being thrown into the river They
averted this danger by swinging the
bridge farther round, SO that the struc-
ture received only a glancing blow from
the steamer. A large girder was torn
from the structure and an IRON railing
and part of the sidewalk We're smashed.
The Erie Steamship company will have
to pay the damage, which as stated,
is estimated at 5000
The bridge tenders escaped injury.
One of them, however, was thrown to
the floor of the bridge by the violence of
the conclusion caused by the collision.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Ira Schroeder had u narrow escape
from a serious accident last Thursday
afternoon He was in the act of driving
across the Eighth street bridge from
the south approach of the structure just
when the bridge was being swung open
to permit a tug to pass through the
draw. Before he noticed that the bridge
was opening, his horse had its fore feet
on the bridge. His quick and determined
action, when he observed that the bridge
was moving, saved him from being car
ried into the river He escaped from his
perilous position by causing his horse to
back off the bridge the animal getting
its feet off the bridge just in the nick of
time to avert probably fatal accident.
