RAILROAD BRIDGE BURNT-INCENDIARY.
ELzAsETH, N. j., March 4.-The long
bridge at New Brunswick, on the line of the
Pennsylvania railway and spanning the
Raritan river and the Delaware and Raritan
canal, was burned this morning by an in
cendiary. The company has been for some
time constructing substantial stone and
iron bridge to take the place of the wooden
structure now burned and it will be pushed
forward to completion as rapidly as dura-
bility and absolute safety will permit. Trains
now stop short distance from either end of
the burned structure and passengers are
transferred in coaches over the city bridge, a
short distance below. One train passed over
the bridge while burning. Samuel Carpen-
ter, the general eastern passenger agent, has
gone to New Brunswick, and it is expected
the present inconvenience will soon he
remedied.
PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-The Pennsyl-
vania railroad officers state that the destruc-
ton of the bridge at New Brunswick by fire,
this morning, will not interfere with the
traffic of the road, as a temporary trestle
will be at once put up and used till the iron
structure is completed. Meantime the Penn
sylyania railroad company has arranged
with the North Pennsylvania and Central
railroad of New Jersey to run through bust
ness over their line between Erie and Phila-
delphia. where the New Jersey division
crosses the North Pennsylvania railroad
and Elizabeth, where the New Jersey Cen
trail connects with the road from New
Brunswick to New York. Passengers will
therefore use the regular terminal stations
of the Pennsylvania railroad as heretofore
There will be no interruption to freight
business. The local trains will follow the
regular route, making transfers at New
Brunswick for the two OF three days required
to construct the temporary trestle. The
new iron draw over the canal is being put il
place to-day, and the rest of the work will
be steadily prosecuted.
