WITH A CRASH
A New Railway Bridge Falls at
MassillOn This Morning.


Ats o'clock this morning the residents
of Massillon were thrown into q state of
excitement by hearing terrific crash,
and a sound as IL many buildings were
falling. Il was soon found that the big
bridge at fremont street, being construct
ed for the second track of the Ft. Wayne
railway, had fallen to the street below.
The spans bad been placed in position
Tuesday but had not been fastened. A
train on the first track had jolted the big
iron structure to the extent that as soon
as the train had passed, one of the spans
toppled over against the main bridge.
This warned the workmen, who got out of
the way in hurry. A few seconds later
the big spans, weighing 10000 pounds,
fell to the street below. Il was thought
that q pedestrian on the sidewalk below
had been caught, but the iron structure
missed him by about half foot. No one
wAs injured. The span will have to be
sent back to the shop for repairs, as tits
all twisted and bent out of shape. The
accident will delay the completion of the
bridge for some weeks, and great loss to
the company is thereby entailed.

Trying to Wreck the Southern.

CINCINNATI, March 22.-There seems
to be an unanimous opinion that the
ultimate purpose Of the Bfice-Thomas
crowd is to wreck the Cincinnati South.
ern. The appointment of a receiver for
the lessee company was only a ruse.
The true iuwardness of the proceedings
is to make the earning capacity of the
Cincinnati Southern appear in such bad
light as to frighten the city into selling
at such figures as Brice. Thomas 81 Co.
(as they would be the only bidders) may
see fit to give. The filing of the appli-
cation at such a late hour was a shrewd
move. The object was to suppress the
proceedings from the afternoon papers
of Saturday in order that only one side
Of the case could be presented to the
public until Monday. The shrewdly
planned scheme failed to accomplish the
purpose desired and the people are
watching every move. The line will be
operated as heretofore, the only change
being that the court will direct affairs
instead Of the board of directors. There
are rumors of retrenchment, and such
a policy may ultimately be adopted; but
for the present Receiver FELTON, says
there will be no changes.
