VIADUCT is SHAKEN.
Train Crashes Into the Twenty
fourth Street Bridge Ele-
walton.
SEVERAL SUPPORTERS DESTROYED.

Steam shovel Being Transported On a Car
Failing to Clear the Cause of the Acct
dent, Which 1t Was at First Feared
Would Necessitate the Suspension OF
Traffic.
Serious damage was done to the
Rock Island government bridge VIA
duet on Twenty-fourth street early
this morning by large steam shovel,
being transported on fiat ear, which
crashed into the wooden beams sup
porting the structure and broke sew
eral of them, rendering safe travel
over the viaduct questionable.
The accident occurred at 6 o'clock.
The steam shovel is the property of
the Rock Island road. 1t was brought
in from the west, to be transferred to
the Rock Island & Peoria and sent to
Peoria. 1t occupied one car, which
was attached to two other cars carry
ing tools. etc. The collision was uu-
doubtedly due to the misjudgment of
the men in charge of the switching
operations, as the shovel would not
clear, and consequently went against
the viaduct beams with terrific force.
The shovel was so tightly wedged in
that it required several hoo, work
before it could be removed.
+. E. Robbins, superintendent of the
Rock Island bridge, arrived on the
scene of the accident shortly after its
occurrence, and with the assistance of
force of workmen set about to
straighten out the miX-up.
Travel Permitted.
After an examination it was found
the viaduct was not so badly shaken
up as to necessitate the stoppage of
travel, although street cars and
heavily loaded wagons were ordered
to move slowly over the weak spot.
The injury to the viaduct amounts
to the destruction of nine wooden
stringers, or supporters, which will
be Immediately replaced, and other
less costly damages.
