tended for the market Of this ci,y. The
locomotive passed safely over The bridge.
but the immense weight OF the train cars
Was more than the strength Of the bridge
could bear, and the whole was thrown
inlo the river helow--ad distance nf 10 feet,
killing nearly all The stock. and Eve men
who were on the cars. besides seriously
