Railroad Bridge Destroyed.

Wharton, Texas. June 1,-About
thirty minutes after noon the fine
iron structure owned by the rail
road which spans the Colorado at
this point was found to be in flames
The alarm was given at once, crowds
Immediately assembled, pistols were
shot and runners sent ahead to
notify the east-bound train due at

edge of the blazing structure. The
fire lasted about two hours, and
over half the bridge, consisting of
about 800 feet of iron rods, besides
the heavy iron spans which sup
ported it over the river, were totally

in saving one span of the bridge.
Loss estimated at $4,000. The
origin of the fire is unknown, A
freight train took the passengers in
at 4 p. IN.

A good many farmers have pota-
toes vet to sell, but refuse to take
80 centsa bushel for them. Although
