Bridge Demolished.

DETROIT, MICH, July, c8.
A calamity which was threatened at;
Grand Rapids the past two or three days.
took place this morning. An immense jam
of logs extending up Grand river for miles
has been lodged against the bridge of the
Detroit & Grand Haven Railroad, near the.
city. It has been hoped that the bridge
might resist the tremendous pressure,
but it succumbed this forenoon and
went down with crash. The bridge
of the Grand Rapids, Indiana, Chi
cago and West Michigan followed suit.
Millions of feet Of logs have gone down
the river with the flow, and are almost
certain to continue down. sweeping every
thing before them, going into Lake Michi-
gan. If this proves true, a large additional
number of logs will be carried out at Grand
Haven, as well as destruction of all bridges
there. The ultimate losses, it is feared,
will reach many thousand dollars. The
calamity is unprecedented in it's extent,

A COLLISION between a passenger
train and wild freight on the Saratoga
Road occurred near Schenectady, n. Y,
the other day and one man was fatally
scalded and six others seriously injured.
Both engines were wrecked and a passen-
ger car, a baggage car and four freight
cars were burned.
AT Grand Rapids. Mich, an i'm
mense jam of logs broke loose on the 26th
and swept away several railroad bridges.
EASTERN WISCONSIN was visited by q
damaging storm on the 10Th with the heav-

AT Miles City, Mont, a mob took a
prisoner named Kigney from Jail on the
night of the 18th and hanged him. Rigney
was hard case and a bartender. Two
hours after he was hanged an incendiary
fire destroyed seven buildings in the town.
It was thought some of his friends caused
the fire.
THE works of the Home Sewing Ma
chine Company at Bridgeport, Conn.,, were
nearly destroyed by fire few nights ago.
The buildings destroyed occupied three
sides of square and were four stories
high. The company employed about four
hundred hands.

JACKSON, GA, July, @.
Information of shocking murder in the
upper part of Monroe County, near Union
vile, has reached this place. Charles.
Wright, young man Of twenty-one years..
SON of DIR. James F. Wright, of Unionville,.
met w. j. n. Hane in a public road near
that village and shot him three times,
killing him instantly. The causes.
leading to the affair appear to be as;
follows: On Tuesday Mr.. Wright was in
Forsyth until late trying to sell his horse
and buggy, stating that he wanted funds
with which to go West. While driving
along dark road after night he ran into
Cap E. Hane, younger brother of the
murdered man, doing damage to his own
vehicle, after which both young men pro-
ceeded on their way. Next morning Charles
Wright and his younger brother started to-
the shop with the buggy for repairs, and en-
route met w. j. N. Hane accompany
IN ing d his brother caper on the the way
huggies met Charles Wright began
to quarrel with the younger Hane about
their collision of the previous night, and
soon drew pistol, with the apparent in
tention of shooting him. The older brother,
w. J. N. Hane, sprang from his buggy. and
getting between the two buggies endeav-
ored to act as peace-maker, begging Wright
to put up his pistol, as they were unarmed.
Wright drew his pistol upon the older Hane
and fired three shots, the first passing
through his hat, the second striking his
head and the third entering his breast and
inficting mortal wound. Wright then
sprang from his buggy and fled. His
younger brother, William Wright, ran back
up the road, and met at short distance
Levi Alexander. and told him his brother
had killed man, and continued his flight.
Upon Mr.. Alexander's arrival he found
Hane dead. Charles Wright, the murderer,
has not yet been arrested, and is supposed
to be making his way West.
