leaving here are abandoned until
Sunday night, by which time the
bridge will be repaired. Owing to
a stiff breeze, an unknown schoon-
er drifted against the bridge span
ming the Rigolets and carried away
two spans and the tracks OF the
railway company. The telegraph
wires of the Western Union went
along too, and all telegraphic COM
