concluded its labors yesterday at Fort

They are positive on one point. and that
is that o of the bridge was under

The testimony heard tended to show
that while the structure was sufficiently

The jury returned the following YER

lapse of a trestle bridge at station No.

the country: and although the evidence
shows that as much bracing as usual
on this work appears to have been
done, yet we consider there is a neces-

the future construction of bridges in
this district.
Besides Ferguson. A. B%oulanger OF
