 CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The schooner David
 Vance, one of the largest grain carriers at port. while being lowed up the Chicago river this afternoon struck the viaduct of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, crushing the iron braces and setting the first section clear back to the second abutment.

 comparatively clear or the catastrophe might
 have reached frightful dimensions. The
 wreck of the bridge carried down with it a
 wagon driven by Peter Hansen of Grand Crossing Ill.,. who sustained fatal injuries.
 His two horses escaped. A light buggy driven by John Halafax, who owns an exten- sive livery, was also carried down. Halafax was terribly crushed by the iron girders and cannot live. In the bridge tenders house James Foley vas eating his dinner which his wife just brought him. The structure, which was of brick, went down like 8 flash. Foley was thrown into the river, but whs rescued. He sustained several severe cuts and bruises His wife was buried under the ruins, but was extricated alive. She is severely injured about the head and arms, but may survive. John Murphy of Sycamore, Ill and two laborers who were on the track beneath the viaduct were struck by falling matter and in jured. Two negroes who went down in the debris extricated themselves and walked of apparently unhurt. The wounded were taken to the county hospital Captain Vance of the schooner says the stern of the boat mere ly grazed the abutment and the whole thing crumbled like bank of snow. The structure was built by the Keystone Bridge company and the repairs will cost $70,OOo. It had recently been pronounced safe by the city engineer.
