An accident which might have caus-

the Twenty fourth street bridge at
O'Clock this afternoon. A large der.
rick on an east bound train was a
trifle too high to so under the bridge.
The conductor of the train did not No.
tice this and the top of the derrick
struck the steel railway rails which are
being used to hold up the bridge tenn
porarily while the construction work is
i'll progress. The heavy rails were
bent TO one side of the bridge. Luck
lily there were mo cars or wagons
crossing the bridge at the time. and
thethe guards on the structure imme-
diately stopped traffic, mailing cross
boards at each gateway to the bridge
ThecOnstructiOnf force began immediate
ly after the accident to place new rails
under the structure. Traffic over the
bridge was stopped for several hours.
and during that time The ferries were
loaded with passengers.
Turn Wagons Back.
For some time the guards have been
stopping a number of wagons daily
and turning them back because of the
wheels not tracking in the street car
track. The bridge will be closed TO

will probably be closed for two
