HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Sept 1.-THE big
iron bridge which spans the Mississinewa
river. on the Walnut-street pike, has col
lapsed and fallen into the river. The
structure is eight miles north of this city.
and was erected twenty-five years ago. +.
f. Meredith, tile manufacturer of this
city, had just crossed the bridge with
horse and buggy when it went down, and
he is of opinion that the vibration of the
bridge caused it to give way. The bridge
was condemned several years ago. The
damage is estimated at several thousand
dollars, and it will be rebuilt at once.
