The draw bridge over the Sacramento river lost a span, and one pier was badly damaged by the collision of the steamer Dover with It last evening. The primary reason for the damage being so great was the frailty of the pier a wooden box structure, bal lasted with rock, wltli a few Insuffi cient binders of railroad iron. The steamer was doing duty as a tug, to pull away an Immense accu mulation of drift that had lodged against the pier and an enormous redwood that had securely stuck a shoal before tho high water came, Tho butt of the redwood was dow stream, and Its branches accumu lated a veritable Island of debris during the flood, and every pound of weight wedged the butt more firmly Into the shoal. Shortly after tho steamer hooked to the drift tho cable parted, with out tho drift being perceptibly loos ened, and the center of gravity and point of leverage both shifting, near ly capsized tho steamer, besides swinging her sideways with the full force of the current, against tho pier, which creaked, shivered, tottered and then fell. Somo SO people were on the span at the time, and had tho collapse come suddenly, all would have been either drowned or crushed. As was, by hard running alf either es' caped to other portions of tho bridge, or Jumped to tho deck of the steam er below. Tho damage to the" bridge will reach J10.000 by the collision, and will much -exceed that amount before tho flood is done with tho weakened structure. When the steamer listed alter tho cable broke, she shipped a large amount of water and barely .reached tho shoro ln time to be righted by a vigorous working of the pumps A nuantity of drift actea as a nun- er. between tho pier ami tho steamer. or tho latter would have been oaaiy stove and sunk at tho spot.
