across the Potomac river, this morning, the
iron guy rods Of that bridge broke, and falling
with crash upon the express car knocked 1t
from the rails to the cross-ties: on which 1t ran
short distance before the train was stopped.
The noise made by the crash, aud by the Jolt
ing of the express car over the cross-tles, crea-
ted the most intense excitement among the
passengers, who imagined that they We're be-
ing dragged into the river through an open
draw Some of the ladies screamed, while
Others overcame by their fright, tainted and lay
as dead on the seats. Many of the male pas
seugers rushed to the rear doors of the cars
and jumped off to the bridge, while others
quickly threw off their overcoats as though
preparing for plunge into the water. The
train was soon stopped, however, and the ex
element su bsided as soon as It's correct cause
was ascertained. Fortunately nobody was serl-
ously hurt, though several of those who jump
ed FROM the cars, among them Il. j.. Smith,
esq, were badly bruised. The bridge was un
injured, aud as soon as the express car was re-
placed on the track the train crossed as usual,
aud has been running regularly ever since.
