Accident to the Government Bridge at
Rock island

An accident happened TO the govern
ment bridge at 1850 this morning, which
will interrupt travel over the G., r. l. &
P. Road for day or two. In the con-
struction of the bridge, in order to accom-
modate travel from Davenport to the
Island, span was built from the Island
pier TO the railroad embahkment; under
meath this is the road to the Island and
the entrance to the wagon track. AS the
second section Of No. freight was cross
ing the bridge, the derrick of wreoking-
car, which had only few days ago passed
over this bridge en- route to Chicago to be
rebuilt, struck the top tie of the bridge
and bent it; this brought the upper
chords together, which caused the second
panel of the lower chord to part; relieved
OF its support, the weight of the train
caused the lower chord to sag sufficient
for the first panel of the bridge to slip of
| from the abutment. None of the iron
was broken. The new derrick was two
feet higher than the old one. One end of the
wrecking car rested on the abutment, and
one car and the caboose stepped on the
broken span. The conductor, John Me
Farlane, was on the eaboose at the timt
and was severely injured after the acci
dent he was found insensible. on the fool
of the bridge The back of his head. hi
face and forehead are badly cut, probable
having been hit by the iron as it twisted
up. 10 falling from the car his back wa
severely injured so that he cannot move
his feet,-no bones were broken. The ac
cident will not delay trains more than 2
hours.
The length of the span is 100 feet
weight 1l6, 1874 lbs; and cost $7.Sl79 5.
The excellence of the iron used in thi
span is shown in the fact that none of th
posts, ties, strands or braces in the tw'
injured panels we're broken, but in som'
cases were bent nearly double, shown
the wrought iron was first class and ha
no tendency to crystalization.
