A Steamer Collides with the Northwestern Eailroad Bridge at Xinsrie Street. Trains Belayed from Early Morning Until Noon—The Steamer Libeled and Tied Up. General Marine—"Where the "Wharves of the Excursion Steamers Are—Port ^t*_x Items. . „ , ..... _______ BRIDGE ACCIDENT. V TBOUELE FOB THE NORTHWEKTEKX RAILROAD, A serious accident occurred, yesterday at the Kinzie street railroad bridge of the Chicago and Northwestern. Just before 8 o'clock in the morning the steamship D. C. Whitney, coming down the North Branch, whistled for the city bridge at Kinzie street. The bell rang, the bridge opened, and the Whitney proceeded along, The railroad bridge, however, did not open. When the captain saw that the railroad bridge -would not open he immediately checked down and reversed, but there was a four-mile current running at the time, and the Whitney was carried against the bridge. A locomoaive and one light car ran on tho bridge just before the Whitney struck. The men at the levers ran away and left the bridge locked, and serious damage was inflicted. Iron girders were broken and other damage inflicted, and the bridge locks were broken. The bridge itself was thrown out of line and no trains could be run over it until nearly noon, thus deranging the company's time-card and delaying passengers. The Whitney was not damaged. Her master, one of the most careful on the lakes, urges that he was not to blame, as he supposed, of course, that the railroad bridge would open when the city bridge, so near it, opened. He says also that if the tenders had only imlocked tiie bridge before they ran away no damage at all would have been inflicted on the structure, as the Whitney would simply have swung it open and the locomotive and car were safe a little way from the center. Mr. Hickey, the bridge-builder of the Chicago and Northwestern Company, said the damage to, the bridge was not less than $'2,500. Soon after the accident the Northwestern Com-a pany libeled the Whitney in $1,500 and placed! a custodian on board. The captain saw the Pres-a ident of the company during the afternoon and| late in the day arranged to give bonds. The accident caused a great deal of talk and* excitement in railroad and marine circles. F*0fiT UoTBMfflE, Unl.

Port Huron, Mich., July 8.—Captain McKay, o$ the schooner Chappelle, bound down, found three fishermen on the bottom of a small boat that capsized in Lake Huron Saturday, and landed them here this morning. They gave their names as Aaron and Peter Masters, and Joseph Harrison, of Forestville, Mich. KING-IMPERIAL, COLLISION. THE KING LIBELED FOR THE DAMAGE. The schooner Imperial will complete her repairs at the Chicago Ship Yard to-day. The Mar shal has seized the schooner C. A. King, at Manitowoc, on a claim of $2,500 by Peter Johnson and ~ O. Torrison, owners of the Imperial. The libel- \ lants in their complaint claim that on June 15, * when near the Foxes, the Imperial was run down^ by the King. The Imperial had been on the star--hoard tank, with the wind fresh from the eouth-e ward, and the King attempted to cross her bows, y In order to avoid a collision, if possible, the Im-f perial's helm was put hard down,, and she came Up in the wind, and struck the Kin;,' en the star! board side. The Imperial immediately waterlogged and was towed by the King to Traverse,from where she was towed by a tug to Chicago. She_. received considerable damage, the cost of repairs,u ;her tow bills, and delay caused by the disaster^ amounting to $2,500. The complaint also alleges.! that the King was on the port tack, and bounds R under the sailing rules to keep out of the way,- band that incompetency on the part of the master and crew of the King was the cause of the disas-r iter; that the master of the King admitted to the- F crew of the Imperial after the collision, that his, i vessel was to blame. I The King was damaged to the extent of $800, In the collision, and was receiving repairs at;: :owoc when seized. She has not I led. The master of the King claims that the:" i Imperial was to blame for the disaster. ¦a. ne scnooner Ganges, coal-laden forMilwai, was struck by a squall off Port WashingtorTand badly damaged. She has arrived at Milwaukee minus her foretopmast, main topmast, mizzen topmast, jibboom, and mainmast head. Considerable of her canvas was torn, and her rigging damaged. Captain Whee!«r, her master, reports i tthat the blow came on very suddenly, and was ' very severe for half an hour. The Ganges was ! carrying all her canvas, except the fore-gaff-ton-sail, when she was struck, and for several minutes jthere was considerable excitement on board, as the topmasts and rigging fell on her deck, but luckily no one was hurt. The cost of repairing her will be considerable, as she will require a new mainmast, three topmasts, a jibboom, part new riggi rig, and repairs to her canvas. She will be repaired at the Milwaukee shipyard. The Ganges is owned by J. Oades, of Detroit, is valued at $12,<000, and insured. Captain Wheeler says that several other vessels were in the vicinity of Port Washington at the time, and all of them lost more or 1<bbs canvas. One large three-and-after lost her I fores;ail, mainsail, and squaresail; another lost her : jib and gaff-topsail, while another .lost her miz- i IgenBail and gaff-topsail^ - , The schooner Lizzie A. Law had 1,400 tons of chestnut coal put aboard at Buffalo in two hours. But it doesn't help a vessel a bit to have a cargc "¦jumped" into her.

Repairs on the wrecked schooner Lillie E. were completed last week, but the vessel remains at Wolf «fc Davidson's main yard, there being a disagreement between M. Engelman & Co., who owned her when she went ashore, and the under writers. After the vessel went ashore her owners? had two tugs at work on her for several days, and?. all possible efforts were made to get her off th< beach, but without success. They finally abandoned her to the underwriters, who succeeded ii getting her off the beach and into Wolf .fe Davidson's shipyard, where she was thoroughly^ repaired. The cost of releasing and repairing the vessel is said to exceed $5 000,- whilt the vessel was insured for $7,500. Wher her owners abandoned her they claimed that she was a total loss, but tiie underwriters refused U nn epl the abandonment and desired that Messrs Engelman & Co. pav half theexnenses, which th< latter most decidedly object to. On Friday lastB Mr Engrelman arrived at Milwaukee from Mania- .? tee to have a consultation with the underwriters. ivhn were given notice but failed to put in an ap- I pearance. Mr. Encelman returned • home, and^ thus the matter stands. Yesterday Chris, Han-.; sen. John Mercurt,Leverisa Johnson,J< Andrew Nelson and Edwin : !i libeled the Lillie E. for wages, aggregating $110. They had been engaged last week in fitting out the vessel, and were each given a certificate by the master of the amount due. but refused to pay the men. This is owing to the disagreement between the owners i and underwriters. — Milwaukee Stntbi.el, July 3. Charles Benjamin, a watchman on the steam-barge Egyptian, fell into the hold of the vessel at Marquette, and was instantly killed. His remains were interred at Marquette. The Schooner S. L. Watson, bound up with coal, was struck by a squall on Lake Huron and dismasted. She lost her mainmast and mizzen topmast. She was towed to Port Huron for repairs. The tugmen celebrated the Fourth to some extent vesterdav—and the day before, for that matter. Some of them will also celebrate to-day. Numerous of the boats had to lie at the wharf iast night because members of their crews were missing. One boat was an engineer, short, another was without a captain, another without a fireman, or linesman, etc. The captain of the schooner Tilden made his appearance at the Central Police Station Monday evening to invoke police protection for the men employed on the vessel. The crew consists of six men, all of them being non-union. Monday afternoon a delegation of union men boarded the vessel and informed the men that their dreams would be disturbed in a very unceremonious manner during the night or early morning. The leader acted very insolently, and withdrew with his men threatening all sorts of condign punishment because the men would not joiu the union. They informed the captain, who promptly repaired to the police station and solicited protection. A posse of police was detailed to sleep on board the vessel, which lies at Elmore's dock. The crew made preparations for a bloody encounter in case the union belligerents should attempt to board the vessel. One of the crew, a Portuguese, 'disdainfully refused a revolver and armed himself with a dirk ten inches long lashed to a long pole.—Jlil-ipaukee Sentinel Awful times. FREIGHTS.

During the northerly storm before daylight yesterday morning the tuag Stanwood saw a large ¦Vessel coming along heaad on for the exterior -Teakwater. The tug ram out and hailed the ves-I was just in time. "Starboard your helrm! Drop your anchor, quick!" shouted the camtain of the Sltflrw< "breakwater dead ahead!'" The suggestion was quiickly followed out aboard i the vessel, and when she fetched up she was only ' five yards from the ugly, dangerous cribs. THE NELLIE REDINGTON. The vessel proved to be the large schooner one of tthe very finest sail craft afloat on the lakes. When the Stanwood first hailed her she was howling along at a rapid rate, driven by the gale and sea, and, had it noit been for the warning, would certainly have followed the fate of the Wells Burt, She would have struck the exterior breakwater a terrific blow, crushing her hull and perhaps dismasting her, amd her crew of eleven or twelve men must have perished. The Stanwood is a small, light tug, and would not have been able to do anything with the great - ship even if there had been time, which there was not. The captain and crew of the Redington are full of gratitude to the captain of the Stanwood. Large tugs went ont after daylight and brought the vessel into the harbor. The Redington measures 900 tons, rates A 2, and is valued at $50,00<B. She has a cargo of 1,700 tons of coal on board. Redington and i others, of Cleveland, are the owners of the line ] Vessel. Her escape was at most narrow one. THE CAPTAIN'S COMPLAINT. The captain repeats what The Inter Ocean '• has repeatedly published from other vessel masters—that the lights on the exterior breakwater are poor and defective and that, even if burning, they are confounded with the lights of tugs and with lights to tiie southward. The captain did not know he was anywhere near the exterior breakwater. Tugs which are constantly towing vessels in and I out the harbor frequently have narrow escapes « on this breakwater, so miserable are the lights gupposed to be on it. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? I Blajor Benyaurd, the government engineer | <4 here, promised, some tirme ago,-to furnish differ- ent lights, but has made; no move in the matter as yet. THE ELVERS.
