Bridge Over Broad River Burned.
Charlotte Observer, Sunday: The
Southern trains on the Air Line were
thrown out of schedule yesterday and
last night by the burning of the bridge
over Broad river, between Blacksburg
and Gah'ney, Friday night. The
bridge was 200 feet long, and SO feel
high. The fact that it had been burn
ed was discovered yesterday morning
ut 6 o'clock by the son of the ferry
man, who lives close by. He went at
once on horseback to Blacksburg, to
notify the operator, and thus prevented
any train due before daylight, from
plunging into the river. The fire oc.
Cured, it is thought, about 8 o'clock.
1t was supposed to be the work of M
incendiary. Captain Ryder returned
from the scene last night. He has a
large force of hands at work rebuild
ing the bridge. In the meantime the
trains run by Blacksburg and Gatfney.
