that the train was moving at the rate OF

ion that had the train been running al IL
mile, an hour oTcr the bridge. the rate OF

intendent Lincoln OF the nth inst, since
the accident. II probably woa d have gone

| commissioners, however. say that the
bridge ''onght 10 have been strong enough
TO sustain the train in passing over Il safely
at the greatest capacity of any englnein
use upon the road. even to 90 miles an
hour. For the lives of passengers should
not be liable TO be jeopardized by any

| say that the condition of the bridge dis
closed by the breaking down shows entire
unf1tness for use by reason of dry rot !;
also that dry rot is difficult TO discover by
ordinary tests, aud that the Company and
not the Commissioners are responsible for
the safety of the road.
