As the morning train from Lambertvile
was crossing the high trestle bridge at Copper
Hill, on Monday morning of last week. the en-
gineer and passengers were terribly startled
by feeling the structure yielding to the weight
of the train. The engineer increased the
speed of the train ON the instant, happily the
danger was passed in safety. 1t seems that
one of the supports gave way, allowing the
track to settle foot or more. Workmen
went up from Lambertville and repaired the
damage before night. This bridge is some
forty feet high, and it is most fortunate cir
cumstapce that the train did not go down.
