THE STORM At KNOXVILLE.
Almost Total Destruction of the Bridge

hnOXvIIIe JhrOnlcIel May 2

Knoxville Chronicle, May .
Yesterday afternoon, between three and
four o'clock, heavy rain storm passed over
our CITY, and, by IFS work of destruction,
damaged the county Of Knox al least S4j,-
900 in sweeping from its pillars the county
bridge over the HOlstOn river, which only a
little over year ago was completed at
total cost Of about Sl6j,O00. The opinion
has been pretty freely expressed that if the
bridge had been properly constructed 1t could
certainly not have been blown away by
storm which failed to materially injure any
other property in the city. As the storm
approached, Mr. Ford, the bridge keeper,
and Mr.. Ellington, were in the little Ot1ce,
and remained until the situation became
alarming and the timbers Of tie bridge be-
gan to give, when they rushed out and were
seen right over the second pillar as the hTsI
span gave way and was hurled to the
ground. Span after span followed the one
on which the Office rested, until soon the
seven spans covering the river were hurled
below, 4 mass of ruins.
The timber of the bridge or rather a
large portion of it was sOou floating down
the stream in a body, and we are inform
ed by eve witnesses that a man could al

excitement prevailed for a time owing 10
the IumOr which prevailed that two wagons
were on the bridge when it gave way, and
that the drivers and teams were hurled IN
the river. But this rumOr proved TO be in
correct The probable loss is estimated to
be from S45, 600 to $4,000.
The Charleston Railroad bridse was
slightly injured, the roof Of the draw span
being torn of. The damage can be easily
repaired.

Durpose of life, and qualities OF mlnd,
Sfrikinclv like his father, aud If he had

How Wall street was Startled.
Wall street was this morning startled by
a report that John +. Tracy, President Of
the chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail-

with many other Western roads, notably
the Chicago and Northwestern, was dying.
Mr.. Tracy Was yesterday pFostrated by a
stroke of paralysis at his hotel in this city,
Ihe Gilsey House, and to-day is very low.
Ii is the third attack he has had, and is
more serious because complicated with
Bri ght's disease Of the kidneys. Mr..
Tracy has for MANY years been leading
spirit in Wall street, and his illness had a
decided effect on the stock market. In the
early dealings the market was strong,
prices advancing 5a3a per cent, but on the
announcement Of the critical condition Of
Mr.. Tracy, the market became heavy and
prices have since fallen 4a2 per cent. 1t IS

posed to await exact information before

!. KINGSTON, JAMAICA, April 24.-Ru-
mOrs of an alarming nature have reached
here from POrt-au-P Prince. There has been
some disturbance at POrt-su-Pais, on the
north side, and the British Consul was as
saulted and wounded. The commander Of
a British gunboat wished to lombard the
place Immediately, but was prevented by
the wounded Consul, who has since ar
rived in Kingston on the gunbOat Swallow.
Commodore Lyons here has sent steamer

plantations and indemnity for the outrage,
under penalty or immediate retaliation
upon the town Of POTt-au-Pais, for the in
suit to the British flag. The British gun

Bill Kings Latest Dodge.
1t is now said that Congressman King,
whosWOre that he had never received a cent
from the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
expects to get of on the plea that the funds
paid him were not taken from the Treasury
of the Company, but were derived from
profits on the sales Of stocks in company
with Stockwell, the former President.
lAnOther District Deficit.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
The payment of tax of one and half
per cent on personal property, at which
citizens have manifested so much OppOsi-
tion, has been defeated by failure to as
sess 1t within the limit fixed by the law,
which was the 1st of May. This will
probably necessitate an appropriation OF
another large deficiency by the next Con-
gress TO meet the expenses Of the District
and its interest.

crushed in by the collision with the pier
and part Of her machinery esTn away. She
made water very rapidly, but fOated down
about two miles, struck a bar in the mid

deck. The passengers rushed from their
berths in the greatest disorder and ran hith-
er and thither hOrror-stricken. All were not
lost; but finally gathered on the hurricane
roof, where they remained till daylight,
clad only in their night clothes, when the
ferry boat came down and took them
ashore. Five or six persons are supposed
