On last Thursday morning, the east
ern bound freight train left the track
just in front Of the Red Wing mills, be-
cause of a switch being misplaced, and
the engine and two cars ran down the
embankment into the river. The engi-
neer and fireman saved themselves by
jumping off: The engine and cars were
badly damaged, the track seriously de-
moralized for a distance of 25 or 80
yards, and considerable quantity of
flour wasted. The telegraph wires were
also broken and pole or two pulled
down. These damages were speedily
repaired, however, and no delay to other
trains was occasioned.
We understand that the County Com
missioners Of this county have made
contract with Mr.. H. E. Horton, of
Rochester, to build the superstructure
of an iron bridge over Cannon river, in
Burnside township. No contract has
yet been made for the mason work on
which the bridge is to rest, but that will,
no doubt, be done at an early day, and
the bridge put up next season. By the
way, Mr.. Horton is an experienced
bridge builder, has an excellent reputa-
ton, and whatever work he may do will
be honestly done. The bridge is on the
old state road leading from this city to
st. Paul, which is a much travelled
thoroughfare, and the improvement will
be great accommodation to the public
generally. The crossing is now supplied
with wooden bridge, which is regard
ed as unsafe, and would cost more to
repair and maintain than the proposed
iron structure.
CITY CouNc1h.-A special meeting
of the City Council was held at the
