CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC.
Lack of Ferry Service Cripples
Eads Bridge Teamsters.

A considerable congestion of traffic on
Eads bridge resulted yesterday from the
slippery condition of the driveway and the
discontinuance of the ferry service on ac-
count Of the presence of a large amount
of ice in the channel
Efforts were made to render the footing
more secure by sprinkling sand on the
snow and ice, but the horses hOofs and
wagon wheels soon churned the dirt and
ice into a mixture that was very treacher-
ors
Blockades were of frequent occurrence
all day. On both sides of the river. the
sloping approaches tried the nerves of
both horses and drivers and 1t was seldom
that the ascent was made without sew
eral pauses to rest the straining animals.
1t was soon found that team of horses
more than sufficient to move a load on the
level could not negotiate the approach to
the bridge, and additional teams were pro-
v.ded.
Owing to the large amount of traffic. a
sufficient number of helping teams could
not be secured and delays were Oc-
casioned that served to crowd the drive
way with waiting vehicles of all descrip-
