A SNAH UP.-Between four and five o'clock
last Sunday afternoon, after az hot day as We
ordinarily have in July, a sudden and fierce
gust of cold wind from the northeast blew up,
and when everybody was driven indoors to avoid
the dust or seek warmer clothing. fearful crash
was heard, caused, it was SOON discovered, by the
falling Of the trestle work at the south end of
the 0. d +. r. r. r. bridge This trestle
work leads from the high bank on the south side
OF the river across the bottom to the main bridge
was about thirty rods in length, and portions
OF 1t thirty feet in height. 1t was put vp by
Colwell, Clark & Co., before the bridge was fin.
ished, and when the latter structure was com.
pleted, it seems was in no way fastened to the
main bridge, nor was it braced to the bank at
the other end, SO that in fact, nothing but the
stringers laid across The top of it kept it from
falling of itself long ago. The gust of wind
struck it in just the right quarter, and it fell as
q matter of course We are unable to say whose
but We understand no blame is attached to
Colwell, Clark & Co., who had finished their part
long before the bridge was in such condition
that the tresrle work could have been secured.
Among the horrible accidents that did not
occur in connection with this railroad smash up,
it gives US pleasure to chronicle the narrow es-
cape OF Mr.. Radcliffe, of the Ottawa Republican,
and ex.sherif McCaleb, who were quietly seat
ed Oh the same ill.fated trestle work, less than
minute before it went down. Admonished by
the sudden gust of wind, they hastened to the
main land, which they reached just in time to
witness the fearful crash in their rear.
We observe Mr.. A. d. Beck has been put to
work with suitable force to repair the damage.
which will cost the company three or four hun
dred dollars
