The River Railroad Bridge Burn

The River Railroad Bridge Burn
ed.
About O'Clock Monday after
noon the river bridge on the l. &
G Railroad was discovered to be
afre. The train had passed over
it only a short while before and it
is supposed that it caught from
sparks from the engine. The
watchman inspected the bridge
immediately after the train passed
but saw no fire and returned to
his pump. After he had been
pumping some time he observed
smoke issuing from the entrance
to the covered bridge. On going
to the bridge he found the smoke
so sitting that he could not reach
the fire. He ran to Fort Lawn for
help. The bridge was several
hours burning. 1t was about $50
feet long enclosed and covered. -
The cost of building it was about
$4,000. We understand the
Company had 1t insured for 81,
500.
The train will run as usual trans.
ferring passengers, baggage, etc,
Mt the river. An engine was
brought around by the S G. & G
Railroad yesterday to be used be
tween here and the river. All
the engines were on the Chester
side of the river when the burning
occurred. The bridge will be res
built at once. 1t will probably
take six months to complete it.

PRESENT RAGE FOR
BARBARIC JEWELS.

Bracelets and anklets as burdensome
in appearance as shackles, and heavily
linked chains are accepted as the latest
mode in jewelry by well gowned wom-
en-. They first came out in Paris. last
spring, and were worn exclusively on
the ankles, with the short bicycle skirts
that were there fashionable. When
they were imported to this country IL
was naturally thought they were to be
worn on the wrists, but the public eye
is at last being opened, however, by TWO
New York women who have just re-
turned from Paris and who wear them
about the ankle. or just at the top or
the boot when donned in their sporting
clothes. 1t is said on good authority
been measured for them: The most
beautiful ones are undoubtedly those
that are enameled, or the dull gold ones
that are studded with uncut stones.
But one is admissible and it should be
worn on the left foot.
This tendency for massive, barbaric
jewery is also noticed in the bands OF
gold of exquisite Etruscan workman
ship which are worn low on the fore
head with dinner or evening gowns;
and in the heavy chains that fan to the
times around the throat. Suspended at
the end of them, there is OFTEN a small,
single eyeglass. diminutive ian or
an odd little note book. The revival
of this fashion of wearing chains, 1t is
interesting to reflect, originated IN
Rome at a fashionable bazaar for the
benefit OF a convent, Wnen lnrtS lonS
chains of cut jets were strung by the
nuns and offered for sale They were
bought by two New York women and
one French woman. Afterwards. large
demand for them was made in Paris. and
the Inventive city was soon taxing its
powers to present them in numerous
forms and styles. Those made of gun
metal with pearls at regular intervals are
now regarded as one of the newest and
best styles to wear.
At present it is also n fad to collect
semi-precious stones. such as anne
thysists. aqua marines, moonstones: to-
paZes. Mexican opals and others to have
set in a long gold chain. Frequently they
can be picked up very cheaply at Old
necessary to fill in properly a chain of
moderate length. Beside the cost of the
chain and the stones. at least 81 or Y
apiece must be allowed for the setting Oh
them. The various size, shape and color
OF the stones make the chain very IN
tereeting.
