HAVRE De GRACE, Md, Sept. 23,
Through the collapse OF a span OF

this point this morning, twelve loaded
cars of a northbound freight train
were carried down and the span was
totally demolished. William Olson Of

were no other casualties.
The bridge, which was erected in

red about 6 o'clock with a crash that
was heard for a distance Of several
miles. The immense section fell into
the river, completely choking up the
eastern channel. Two hours later the
section that went down would have
been swarming with workmen engaged
in putting up the great steel beams
and Orders which went into it's con-
.struction. There are reports current
that the bridge was tempered with

in difeent parts Of the structure

ability to explain the catastrophy on

had been dynamited.
Il would not make such an accuse.

possible, though highly probable, that
there was some hidden defect In the
work OF construction that caused the
accident. But the bridge could have
been dynamited and the fact concealed.

There was nothing whatever" he

For some time past, according to
