Boats can bow pass tbe scene of the recent expensive disaster at tbe Kock Island bridge with as much comfort and ese as though nothing unusual had occurred at that point. The temporary lift span has been completed. It was tested last even ing anl found to bo safe, bo today it was placed in operation. And tbe firt craft to pas beneath tbe ele vated structure was tbe packet Vcrtie Swain, which went Clinton ward on her season's initial trip this afternoon. It recjirres the hoisting of about one huudred tons for such is the weight of the lift span with tbe paitago of each boat. This tempo rary arrangement while of no appar ently frail nature, is nevertheless snliil and so constructed as to stand aii much of a strain as the present bridge has been accustomed to. The expense to tbe Phoenix Bridge com pany to erect the lift span was about 13.00). The span is op. crated by an engine at cither end of it, and a'scend after the etvle of an elevator, being worked by wire ropes, which are attached to four uprights. It can be lifted aOJ feet, but only bout sixteen feet elevation is nec essary to allow an ordinary boat to pass. Eractlnc tha Traveler.
