The tsnscity with which several OF the

The wreck in Bridgeport was 30 infinitely
described in yesterdays REGISTER that
there is but little to say. The line OF the
ruin is diagcnallv across Kirkwood, and
extends from the Presbyterian Church, on
the corner of Morgan and Seneca streets,
To d. K. Aliens coal bank, on the hill.
Mrs. Emert's COWS were not killed,
as reported, and n. kerber
will suffer no loss. Seneca Lyle was
caught in three or four places and loses
500. The G. L. & w. will have every
thing in order by Monday. All is 0. X.
now except the Bellsire and Martins Ferry
branch. The tender Of Engine No. 10 on
the C. L. & W, jumped the tracks near
Wheeling Creek mines, yesterday, while
the accommodation was backing down.
Robert Parker fell while taking buggy
from the hole at Bennett street, and
ran nail into each hand
John Borden ran q nail through his shoe
into his foot, causing dangerous wound.
A small boy who works in Shick's barber
shop also ran nail into each foot. George
Gifin, John Campbell and George O'kelley
are the heaviest losers. With the c. & p.
and C. L. & W., both terminating at
Bridgeport the place looks very much like
q railroad town.
Several county bridges on Glen's Run,
on the Ohio side, including one $40, 600
structure, are washed out.
A force OF forty men were put to work
on the county road at Boggs' Run, yester-
day, to open it up for travel.
