8 THE CHICAGO DAILY 'I'RIBUNE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1874, _— e LOCGAL MISCELLANY. THE BIG PROPELLER: At o fow minutos past 9 o'olock yestorday morning eccurred ono of thoso lttlo mishapa which aro Jiablo to happon st any moment in s river-divided olty which Is dopondeut for com- munieation botween Its divisions upon draw- bridgos, At that moment the propollor James Davidson, just arrived from Day City, Mich,, heavily laden with salt, in attompting to pass ‘Mndison stroot bridge, stuck fast in the channel rest of the bridge, and rafused to budgo undor any consideration. Of courge o Tminuse ro- porter was on hand at the timo, and with ehgrao- {existio savoir faire proceeded to find out just what EXTENT OF INCONVENIENCE wonld bo cansed by the stoppagoof tho principal thoronghfaro Lotween tho South and Wost Divistons of tho city, Inn vory fow minutos the cars bogan to collect on tho westorn sldo of tho bridgo, and the digcomfituro of passengors was apporent, cepeclally of thoso who Lad began their voyage on tho cross-town cara. Btrango to say, tho wrath of many of thoso who had en- iched tho cnr company to tho oxtent of n alckel was dirocted at anytiing bub tho real tnugo of thoir delay. Ono old lady who had got on tho cors at Onkloy strool, and Lma imstructed the driver to bo coreful, to lot hor off at Market strect, mado tho ofr resound with objurgations of streot-cars, street-car compnnies, and tho unfor- tanato condnotor. A8 the very slightest nmonds which could bo mado, sho insisted upon the ro- turn of her nickel, and when tho conductor do- olined to nccodo, to hor roquest shio consigned him to companionship with tho Evil One, and, guthoring up hor, bundlos, hounced out of the Gnr, aud toved off in_the diroctlon of the tun- nol. Many male pnesongers, who onght to havo Lnown botter, wero equally rendy with their con- puro of the conductor, who flrmly resisted tho numerona appesls for n roturn of tho faro. Ouo tlorid, tniddic-aged man talked nvont breach of contrnct for A quarter of an hour, oxplained to hia admiriug fellow-pasuengors Dow tho neeldent was entirely tho fault of the Waest Side Car Company, and, having taken down full noles of tho name and number of the con- ductor, foliowed thio od lady with tho bundles in tho direction of tho subterranean rondwny, Tn aboud on hour there were not loss than from TWENTY-FIVE TO THIRTY OARS in lino on West Madison atreat, and yet thoro woro no signs of motion on tho part of "tha pro- poller. Ono of tho car conduotora then took the rosponsibility of dispensing with tho starter, nnd ran hit car back on the weatward trip, and, ns his bold oxsmplo wns followed by the rest of the mou, tha cnr trafilc on tho Wost Sido was soon n brigk as over. 'Tho arrival on the scono of tho Compauy's starter put things in o bottor shapo, and nltliough it was [mposaible undor tho cirewmatancos $o run tha ears on time, yet thoy did nn woll ag could be_expected. In the mean- time tho *busos_mindo Liny whila the sun shotto, and ench on its onstward Journey corried o crowded comploment of passongerd to town. Perhupa the oxtrome_discomfort whicl n pro- longed opening of Madison stroel bridgo causos wero best ovidenced at . TIHE WABHINGTON STAEET TUNNEL, which, from the timo tha propotler stuck until gho wns backed out of hor miry bed, way thronged with presengors who passod in aud out of iz at tho rate of about forty or Hfty a minuto. "Fho vld mnn who runs the burdy-gurdy nb tho western ond made woll out of tho unwonted patrouage of tho tunnck As n general rule, tho Straing which he drags out of s unhappy in- strumont aro melancholy in tho oxtrome, Tho old mau’s idea of timo is rathor fauky, and St Patrick Day, as g usually ploys it, sounds like n dirgo for doparter souls rathor than onoof the liveliost and wmost iuspiriting of _nn- tional molodies. Yostordsy morning, how- ovor, undor tho influesica of incronsed patronago, nnd tho frequont click which told of suothor nickel ~dropped into tho tin cup, tho blind musicion turned his handio with such surprising oncrgy that even tho '* Mis- erore” nud * Al cho la Morto " wero lively ns a nickstop, Al thal was wanted st the month of tho tunncl was tho prosence of tho wickedost nan in Chicngo collecting toll (mm“na\m]pnnfiu Gravgora, Luckily, howover, John Allen di not henr of tho aceident until too late, and, con soquontly, ha is obliged to write tho occasion down ns anothor of life's unimproved golden op- portunitiss, o At about hnlf-psst 10 o'clock, it bocamo ay purent to thoso who had tho propoller in chorgo that it would bo necessnry to light- en her of somo of her eargo, and thig worlk was immediately proceeded with, Having connceted tho probollor with the bridgo- pier, about 800 barrels of sait wers removed from tho propollor, which was then, at abont ho}-past 11, backed ont of tho way.nud tho brideo wos closed after being open for nbout three hours and twenty minutes, According to tho bridge-tender no blame could bo attached to tho Captain of tho vessel for tho accident. At 1ho tinto kho ran sground sho was drawing only 13 fect of water. ‘Tho tronblo was that for the past week tho southiwest wind has boen blowing pteadily neross the Juke, nnd has hod the effect of lowering tho wator in tho river at lenst 10 inchca, A foll of about 8 inches took placo_in the river at just about tho tima tha propelleriran aground, which, of ¢ourso, increased tho diMlgulty in getting hor off, Yestorday morning's dolay in closing tho bridgo was tho Iongest which over occurred within the memory of the present bridge-tender, and it ia to bo hoped that somo means could be doviged of ad- viking navigators of the changes which occur in the dopth of waler ot the bridges, in order to gunrd against gimilar dolays in the future. There i# no doubt, however, thattho mam- moth propoller James Davidson is A BIG PAILURE, Sho bas not made n singlo trip since shio first camo out that sho did not yun agronnd, or meot with somo accident or othor. Tho fact is, she drews too much water, and s too unwicldy. ‘About £wo weoks ogo sho cleared from Baginaw Boy withacaigoof 11,000 barrels of salt, the larg- ext that over lefe tho harbor. No sooner did Klio got fairly startod than sho ran aground near tho Charity Island, and it took somo timo to get her off again, Bho arrived at this port vesterday, but Lad cousiderablo trouldo in making the Larbor. Drawing moro wator thun there was at_tho bar, sho grounded, aud it took the combined olforts of soveral tugs to et Lor off agnin. With much difticulty sho wan towed up tho river, touching bottom noarly alt tho way. When near Lake street bridge sho agnin stuck fast, and was not relieved until an bour later.

There are branches of tho public sorvico in whoso oporations tho troublo is not so much how to got volunteored bolp, but how to got rid of It, notably tho Fire-Departmont, whoso offorts at & big firoara frequontly thwarted by tho woll-intentioned but clnmsy offorts of the boys who want to run with the *morsheon,” earry the hose, and act as consultor-gonoral of tho Fire-Marshal and bia doputies. With the polico, howovor, it is different, An otlicor muy pick hia man out of o mixed crowd of roughs and re- spectablo citizens, and though thero is every appearanco of o domonstration on the part of tho former, it {8 vary soldom that n singlo mom- ber of Lho lattor will ln{ himself opon Lo tho risk of a drubbing by interforing on behalf of tho Inw's mejesty, It I8 ploasing, then, to hoar how “I'nosiny avoning a clorical gentlemnn, disrogard- ing nll tbought of self, risked lifo and limb in or- der that bo might onsnaro some roughs fnto tho clutehes of an officor,who, 1t must bo confesacd, displuyad on tho occaion, tho qualitios of o tac- tician of no meau ordor. At abont hulf-pnst 2 o'clock Tuesday evening, the Rov. IL A, Roichonbach, pastor of the Tab- ornacle (Danish) Baptist Church, whilo passing along Ashiand avenuo, noar ubbard street, was sot upon by four mon, who pursued him for sommo distanno, On reaching Eirio stroot ho mot officer Bon White, and_rolatod to him tho story of hie misadventure, Theoflicor waxed virtuously indignant at the recltal, and concocted a ruse by which ho hoped to be ablo to capturo tho minis- tors assnilauts. Ho instructod the miniator to rotraco his footstops, aud promised to follow at & respoctful distanco ready to rush up the momont any demonstration jnoking like a breach of the peaco was mndo, Mr. Reichonbach did not roliuls tho proposal at all at first, but tho officor wa8 80 plonged with his idoa that ho overcamoe Dis #ornples, sud parsunded him to movo for- ward, As soon as_the minister roached the place whero ho had flrst onconntored the roughs they again rushed out st him and bogan to as- sault him, Tho oflicer rushed to the roscuo of his stool-plgoon, and geized two of his assail- ants, but not until the minister had received sovoral blows on the hoad with a sluug-shot, onch of which left n vory severe wound. Ono of tho oflicor’s prigonors” succeeded in bmnking nway from lum, but tho othor was dotained n takan to the Lako Streot Station, whoro ho waa rocognized by Officer Olo Johinson &8 tho noto- rious Tod Caxey, who had shot him on Kinzio strect two years boforo. Cnsoy is only 18 years of ago, but is alroady a desporade, and two yonrs* confinoment in tho House of Correction soom only to havo whetted Lis appetite for ovil- doing. Mr. Reichonbach was, immediatoly after the assault, takon to a drug-store on Milwankeo avenue, wlhiora his wounds wero attended to, and theneo ho wna taken to his home on Oakloy stroot, nosr North avenue. He will not perlnps ovor foel very much the worse for his Tucsdny night's experienco, but it is very doubtful whotbor he will ngain play the pars of decoy- duck for a polico ofiicer of &0 ingonious u turn of mind as Oficor Bon White scoms to be, poctbll sl THE COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REV- ENUE, Thoe snnonncement which was made yostor- day that Mr. Hoyt, Chicf Doputy Collector of Internal Revenuo, had been appointed the suc- cousor of Mr. 8, A.
