NEAR-ACCIDENT IN CHANNEL.
Tug and Barge Narrowly Avoid Con
tact With Highway Bridge.

A collision of one of the big coal-carry-
ing barges of the Consolidation Coal fleet
with the draw of the Highway bridge was
narrowly averted yesterday by quick work
on the part Of the master of the barge in
getting his anchor overheard and check
ing the boats headway. The barge was
in tow of the big tug Advance and was
bound light to Georgetown to load coal.
The tug and tow had passed through the
draw Of the railroad bridge. when Capt.
Crowder. seeing that the draw Of the
other bridge did not open promptly, slow
ed the tug down and swung her around
I'm the channel. There was not room to
check the Roadway of the heavy barge,
and when the anchor checked the big ves-
sci she was within a few feet of the
bridge. Had she struck the bridge 1t
would have been put out of commission
for some time.
1t is stated that the mechanism of the
Highway bridge draw refused to work,
and Capt CrOwder, master of the Adj
vance, declared he had no signal from
any one on the bridge that the draw
would not open. He adds that had 1t not
been that the tender of the railroad
bridge advised him that something was
wrong with the other bridge he would
have kept Roadway on his tug and tow
until too late to avoid an accident.
The tug and barge were detained be-
tween the bridges for about forty-five
minutes.
