suspected. The fellow was yesterday discharged

very angry with Norris, and spirit Of revenge
and desire to rob the Office of the company

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. GA visit to. day to the st.
Charles bridge, one span of which fell last
night, disclosed terrible wreck and distruc-
ton of property The bridge proper is an iron
Howe truss of three spans, and the truss that
fell seems to have lost its bearing on the piers
on both ends at the same time, for it lies in
the river IN an almost horizontal position, and
Is full OF cars as it was before it left the piers.
The cause OF the accident is unknown, but
c.. Thaler Smith, of the Baltimore
Bridge company, under whose personal
supervision the bridge was constructed, thinks
it was occasioned by a track or car leaving the
track. Conductor Kirley, however, testified
before the coroner's jury, this afternoon, that
the train was all right when 1t passed on to the
bridge. Another story is the bridge was
struck by lightning, heavy storm having
prevailed about an hour before the disaster
