THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9 ~) 188I—TWENTY PAGES. MALIGNANT MARINERS. They Seem Determined § to Override the City Ordi- nances, capt. Wildes of the Steam- Barge Maine Takes a Tilt At Clark Street Bridge While Crowded with People and Wagons. The Bridge. Considerably Damaged, but Fortunately No Lives Were Lost. ‘What Is Mayor Harrison Going to Do with. These Reckless Sailors? Day before yesterday tho Lake street bridge was badly demoralized and unfitted for sery- ice in consequence of a collision with a- steamboat, and yesterday the Cla.k street bridge came in for 2 dose of the same kind. In this second case, however, there is strong evidence that the damage was the result of pure cussedness, and the damage, too, not only includes that done to the bride, but also includes a wrecked burgy and an injured horse, while a loss of life was only narrowly ayuided. As every marine man well knows or ought fo know, there is an ordinance which re- quires that the bridges shall be kept closed to river traftic between the hours of 6 and? o'clock in the morning in order that the great tide of humanity which daily poyrs down- town to labor about this time need not be in- terrupted by “open bridges.” At ten min- utes past 6 o’clock yesterday morning the steam-barge Maine appeared at the north draw of the Clark street bridge, headed west, and blew her whistle for the bridge to open. The regular bridgetender, .Louls Ba- der ow not there at the time, but his assistant, Chris Dreuchton, was on duty, and he called out to Capt. Wildes, of the Maine, that it was too late to open, and. that the steamer would have to wait until 7 o'clock. To this, as the bridgetender tells the story, Capt. Wildes responded, “Open her up anyway,” and, after a refusal had again been given. him, “If you won't open her will.” “Lcan’t do it,” persisted Dreuchton; “my orders are plain, and you will have to wait,” THE CONTROVERSY, was all the time attracting a crowd of inter- csed spectators, many of whom were on the re. Finally the Captain of the Maine stopped arguing the matter, and gave some signal to theengineer. Whatever the siznal may have been the boat started ahead, and the next momeut—for she was alre: quite near— her nose crashed up against the bridge, which groaned and trembled a second, and then swung gracefully open, allowing the Maine to pass through, and steam on toward the nest bridge, In the meantime, the greatest excitement was going on about the bridge. When the Maine started ahead to open the bridge, there was a grand stampede of the people who were on _ the _ struct- ure to reach fand. They — rushed pell-mell in both directions, some laughing and others crying, evidently not a ‘little frightened. Fortunately all the pedestrians managed to get off the bridge before the crash came. But itso happened that just as the bow of the bare struck the bridge there was a horse and buggy crossing from the North to the South Side, the occupants of the vehicle be- ing the two sons—Edward and Stephen—of Mr. John E. McMahon, the cuntractor. The young men found theinselves at the critical moment almost directly in front of the barge, and they had no other course than to whip the horse up and try to reach the other side before it was too late. ‘They could not turn around, and were, of course, afraid to re- iain on the bridge. _ ‘The horse made a dash for the South Side Jand and managea to get a footing on the pavement on the east side of the approach and up against the railing which overlooks the water; but just at this moment, and while the bugey was Still on the swinging bridge, one_of the fron arches crushed the whole outfit np against the railing of the approach. The rail fave way, the shafts of the buggy the horse WENT DOWN INTO THE RIVER ‘The McMahon boys had seen their danger in timeand jumped for the Jand, which they reached withoutinjury. The buggy, totally wrecked, got fastened into the ironwork of the arch of the bridge and hung there. All this, of course, created the greatest ex- citement among the people who witnessed it, and there was some shrieking and yelling when the young men in the buggy were in the greatest danger. ‘The horse, strange to say, seemed to be very little injured by the squeezing and subsequent fall. As soon as it apienred after the forced submersion, it struck outlustily for terra tirma. A man in the crowd managed to get hold of the bridle strap, by means of which he_ piloted the swituming animal down to Wells, street, where it could pul! itself out of the water. The bridge was not very seriously injured, and wasin running order again Jast night. ‘The locks at both ends were broken, and some of the wooden braces and beams were cracked, The railing where the accident uc- curred was totally wrecked. Indeed, if the railing had not given the horse would have had its life crushed out against it. Mr. MeManon, the father of the young man who had sueh a narrow escape, naturally felt nota little “ worked up” over the af- tair, He succeeded in meeting Capt. Wilds who, by the way, owns the Maine—about two hours after the catastrophe. Capt. Wilds agreed then to_ pay for the maze sustained by Mr. | MeMahon, and promised tu meet him at 1b to fix matters up. When 11 o’clock came, however, the Captain did not, and this fail- Ure to keep the engagement made Mr, Me- Mahon so wrothy that he put the matter in the bands of an attorney, with instructions to bring ine owner of the Maule to strict ac- count. It is caimed by Capt. Wilds and his friends that the ‘collision was due to an_ac- eident—that the engineer of the barge start- her abead when the signal was to back er, TE OFFICISL REPORT. Following is the official report of the oc- currence made by Capt. J way, who Would have done better had he first arrested ail the fellows on the boat and then made his Teport: Sin: At 6:05 o'clock this morning tho steam- arge Murine, Capt. Barney Wells commanding, same up the river toward Clark street bridge, and gave a signal to the bridzetender to onen. Itbeing after § o'clock, une latter thought it Was his duty tokeep the bridge closed necord- ing to the ordinance reluting to the same, aud Signaled the Caprain of the burge that the bnidge should be kept closed. Atter the use of some profane eloquence the Captain puton More steam andrun the barge into the north end of the bridge, breaking the bolts and sever- alcrose-beams. Just at the time of collision a horse and buggy tere sroing north on the bridge, in Which were Seated Ed and Stephey McMahon, S008 of John McMahon, residing at 305 East Chi- garoarcnuc. They jumped out and. escaped further injury. ‘The horse got entangled io the railing of tho bridge, kicked, and fell into tho Fiver, Then he kicked loose from the harness, and swam to Wellsstreet bridge, where he was Picked up without injury. ‘The buggy was muse eens taken out of the river, and was not Much injured. Respectfully, et ‘A.W. HATHAWAY, Captain of the Precinct. Mayor Harrison was asked yesterday aft- toon by a TripcsE reporter what he was Going to doin the matter. -_ ¥ «_ Lhaven’t heard of it,” said the Mayor, and I don’t know as it is true, for [take no ck in reporters or newspapers or what hey say. But this is true: and are you going to ar- Test this reckiess marine: We always make boats pax for any dam- they do to our bridges.” “n Butthis is clearly a wanton piece of Malicious mischief. ‘The vessel was run fo the bridge at an hour when the ordi- dance says that it shall be closed, and it was closed as provided by law.” c a that is so that is a new question which {will have to look into when the matter is ought to my notice.”? 9 «. Will you have the Captain arrested is 1 don’t know—I will have to look up the ‘4W on the subject.” . A LAWYER'S OPINION. ‘ Mhe reporter next saw a prominent Jawyer “on the subject, and he said: “ This act a 3 ot Ae Captain of the boat raises the question of a fe Validity of the law. Upon the hypothe- i able for ate valid, the vessel is clearly 2 a AMA - alty ot the ordinance?

The Captain oughtto have been yanked Np then and there. He and his vessel are liable for every doliar’s worth of damage that was done and the penalties.” OTHER COLLISIONS. Only a few days ago Tie ‘Trisuxe told how Eat Street bridge was nearly knock- cd into the river by the propeller Starucea. Son after that it mentioned the demolition ot State street bridge, as a result of which it is still open. Then’ came the accident at street bridge, and now comes this dis- aster to the Clark street structure—one_ of toanswer, as legal 2”? the most traveled in the entire city. Tomorrow - it will probably tell how some vessel has run into and upset Wells street. bridge. All these accidents in- dicate two. things, the devilish malignancy of the vessel-men and the imbecility or stu- pidi f the city authorities, The temper of the vessel-men fs very well known. It will be remembered, how, when the ordinance providing for closing the bridges from 6 to? in the morning, and from hnll-past 5 to halt- past 6 in the evening, became # Jaw, they an- nounced their intention of disregarding it, and said they would ran their vessels plimp into the bridges in case an attempt was made to Keep them shut. ‘This th they appear to have carried oat pretty eifectually at Lake and Clark. streets. ‘The trouble with these people is that, owing to jong years of tolerance on the part of the people, they have come to believe they: are lords paramount ot the Chicago River; that they, a few thousand in number, are to have ever thing their own way, while the citizens gen- erally, several hundred thousand in number, are to be annoyed, and inconvenienced. an tormented simply for their accommodanon, it takes more trouble to discipline and kee in order this little band of lawless v c nen than it dovs to control the entire crim- inal irs of Chicago. It is a wonder that the veovle have stood this. so long, and that they have not risen before now and cleaned out the whole set. It takes very little to stir into activity the irritation of tens of thou- sands of people who are detained from their homes or their business THROUGH THE CRIMINAL LAWLESNESS of these fellows, and when indignation of this sort does get aroused it is apt tu be pretty strong and thorough in its mantfestation, __ Bul, while me conduct of these vessel-men is deserving of all dennneiation, that of the city authorities is equally blameworthy. It Was and is in their power to stop this thing. Itis their duty, the moment a vessel runs into a bridge, first to arrest. the Captain, en- gineer, the crew, and every person on board. the vessel, have them brought to the Police Court, have them fined severely, have their cases followed up sharply if ther: take an ap- peal, haye them sent io the Bridewell. if they havent the money, squeeze the fine out of them ir they have it by every process known to the law, libel their vessels for the. damage done, tie them up to the docks, cut short their voyages, break up their charter parties, destroy their trade, force them to give heavy and burdensome bonds—teach! them, in a word, that the lives, the property, and the comfort of hundreds of thousands of people are not tobe interfered with for their convenience or for their insane whims. A litle application of this sort of justice would very soon bring them to terms, and these people would find that they are in the minority, that they are subject, like others, to the law, and that, while they are allowed the use of their own property and areallowed to transact their own business, they must not do it in such a way as to interfere with others. . This used to be the way of managing things in other days and in other administrations, ‘Then the vesselmen tried to run rampan and to shove their way down the river re- dless of bridges and regardless of the ixhts of their fellow-citizens; but they were brought to: task forit sharply. They found what it was to danee attendance at the Police Courts, to give heavy bonds, to be beset by vexatious suits, and they stopped and found that, on the whole, they could transact their business WITHOUT BECOMING A PUBLIC NUISANCE. But other administrations came, with greater promises, perhaps, but poorer performance, and these vesselimen have again conceived the idea that they are the owners of the city. But the moment that the present Adminis- tration uses the means which’ the law puts in its hands, the moment it begins to enforce the law, then the nuisance will cease again, ‘The present law, however, is gr in- adequate. Take acase like that of yester- treet bridge was damaged to tent of afew hundred dollars, and a y was broken. For these ‘things the el is responsible, and will doubtless be mate to pay. But damage was done be- yond that. Seventy-five thousand people live on the North Side, Large numbers of them, especially Saturdays, come over into the South ision on business or on pleas- ure. the greater part of the day ave the cars at Kinzie street and ik a half a mile across the river. Dur- ing a portion of the day the bridge was utterly impassable, and they were compelled to walk around through the La Salle street tunnel. ‘Their loss in time, and consequent- ly in money, due to this reckless steamer, is difficult of computation, and vet the steamer ought to pay it, ‘The North Side Street Rail- way Company was a -heavy loser yesterday, owing to this broken bridge. The steamer ought to pay its damages also. If this were once done, and if all the damages, contingent, inferential. aud remote, were heaped upon the steamer, probably it would be the fast time that the Captain of that particular craft would try to force his way up or down the stream in violation ot the laws of the city. Mayor Harrison seems. to be oblivious of his duty and ignorant of the law, This is not the first time fie Trine will instruct, him in both. His duty is to give immediate directions for the arrest of everybody on that sleamer, for the prompt trial of every one, for the immediate libeling of the vessel, for the swift collection of all the damages done, for the punisument of the offenders by every means in his power, and for a declaration on his part he has learned the Jaw and will. apply it. in the future whenever an emer- gency arises. THE CY: Trene were four slunk calves condemocd along South Water street yesterday. ‘There were forty-four burial-permits jissued yesterday, and forty deaths reported in the city. PROF. LING! STEFFERNONE wrote to Mayor Harrison yesterday that “be bad secured first- class talent for a° musical and dramatic enter- tainment to be given fur the benefit of tho Michigan firo sufferers, and that he wanted the Mayor to codperate and appoint 4 com mittee to run the thing.

The other new cases were reported from No. 113 McHenry, No. 217 West Indinua, and Nos. 2) and dv Augusta streets. Diphtheria was re- ported trom No. 83 Sigel street. : Mayor bas received an appeal from Mayor EC canoton. of Port Huron, Mich., which says that the fire sufferers have all the clothing they need, but that bedding, underwear, provisions, krass and clover seed, tinware, tableware, and money are imperatively needed.

Mr, Waller is opposed to appointing bummers of a political stripe to positions they can't fll, and be and Mayor Harrison have once more come into conilict. It is pretty evident that there is an effort being made to crowd Mr. Waller ‘to the wall and compel him to resign. It was stated to a Ti puNE reporter yesterday that Mayor Harrison bad written a letter to Mr. Waller informing him that he must keep hands off the Water Department and allow it to be controlled entirely by Gen. Lieb, as that was his (the Mayor's) wish. Mr. Waller is by law the ebief of the Water Department, and, if any such letter was written, itis but another evi- dence of the tact that the place Is being made uncomfortable for Mr. Waller. He bas been roundly berated by contractors, and the fuct is that there are parties who are en- deavoring to force J. E. MeMahon or Frank Agnew into the Commissioner's place.
