THE BsuKEN BaIDaE AT AsHrAB

TAG BsuKEN BaIpaE AT AsHrABULA.
The Coroner's jury investigation in
to the Ashtabula, Oiio, railroad bridge
disaster, have agreed on verdict,
in substance as fol lows: That the
fall of the bridge was the result OF
defects and errors made in designat-
ing, constructing, and erecting it;
that q great def fect, and one which
appears in many parts of the struc-
tnre. was the depen dence Of every
member for its efficient action on
the probability that all or nearly all
the others wonld retain their posi-
ton and do their duty for which
they were designed, instead of CIV
ing to each member q positive oon-
lnection with the rest, which nothing
but o direct rupture could sever.
The members OF each truss were, in
stead of being fastened together,
raised one on the other The ver.
dict illustrates the defects, and says
the railroad company used and con
tiuued to use the bridge for about
eleven years, during oil OF which
time u careful inspection by com.
petent engineer could not have failed
to discover these defects. For the
neglect Of such cal ieful inspection
the railroad company alone il res
ponsible. The responsibility Of this
fearful dimster and its consequent
loss Of life rests ON the railroad
company, which By ito chief execu-
tive officer, planned and erected this
bridge
