The Peoria Jonrnal in speaking of the
accident near Galva says:
Yesterday afternoon, an accident hap
pened to a bridge about half way between
Galva and La Fayette, on the Rock Island
and Peoria railroad. From appearances,
while the train was on the bridge one of
the tracks gave way, throwing eight cars
off the track and landing three in the
ditch, and turning the caboose bottom side
upwards. John ALL the conductor, and a
brakeman, were seriously injured, and they
were brought down to this city last night
to receive medical attendance. : 1t was at
first thought that the rain had washed the
foundatiod of the bridge away, but sub
seauent investigation showed that the tim
bers of the truck had fallen down, and
catching in the bridge timbers had done all
of the damage
