BRIDGE BURNS,
No TRAINS ARE
RUNOvERP.&A.
ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED FEET OF
EScAMRIA TRESTLE DESTROY
ED BY FIRE-TRAiNS MAY
CROSS SOMETIME DURING TO-
NIGHT.

No trains were run over the P. &
A division of the Louisville & Nash
vile yesterday or last night, and it
Is probable that it will be after the
noon hour today before any leave this
city, for fire destroyed early yesterday
morning about 500 feet of the bridge
across Escambia bay, and although
workmen were rushed to he scene
and commenced repairs at once the
undertaking was such a big one that
1t could not be completed yesterday,
and will not be until some time during
tonight If by that time.
The railroad intended sending out
the eastbound train yesterday after
noon at SIS o'clock and transferring
the passengers and mail by barges,
but advices from the bridge before the
trains departure were to the effect
that the bay was entirely too rough
and it would be unsafe to make such
an attempt, SO the train was stopped.
Passengers due to reach the city
yesterday morning at 1870 from points
east were stopped at Milton, where
they will remain until tonight, unless
they come to the city on boats from
that place.
Work of rebuilding the burned por-
tons of the bridge will be commenced
this morning at daylight and will be
rushed as fast as possible, but 1t will
hardly be possible for 1t to be COM
pleted in time to let trains through
before 10 o'clock tonight. It was the
intention to work a crew last night,
but the bay was too rough to permit
1t.
How the fire started is not known.
excepting that 1t caught from Goals

VICTIMS Of
EXPLOSION
DOING WELL
ACCORDING TO REPORTS LAST
NIGHT ALL WERE RESTING AS
WELL AS COULD BE EXPECTED
AND WILL PROBABLY RECOVER.

According to reports received at a
late hour last night, al! of the victims
Of the explosion OF a sub calibre pro-
jectile which occurred Tuesday night
at the home of Andrew Moore, in
which eight persons were more or less
injured, were doing as well as could
he expected and the probabilities are
that all will recover.
Mrs. Hammac was the most serious
~ injured Of them all and it was at
first thought that one of her legs
would have to be amputated, but it is
now thought that this will not be
necessary. Besides the broken leg
she suffered d number of serious burns,
but, as stated, it is now thought that
she will recover and that no opera
ton will be necessary.

TAX SUIT DISCONTINUED.
Action Against Hooker Corser & Mitchell
Company Ended by Direction Of Select
men-Text Of Letter.

Pursuant to an expression of the voters
in special town meeting and in view of a
resolution adopted at that time, the Sc
lectmen have directed their counsel A.
p. Carpenter and II. G. Barber. to dis
continue the suit brought by the town
against the Hooker Corser & Mitchell
company to recover $4,000 of back taxes.
That the selectmen would take such
action had seemed probable ever since
the special meeting and it was foreshad-
owed in Chairman John Galvin's state
ment last week that the selectmen would
not defy public sentiment.
The selectmen and Mr.. Carpenter and
Mr.. Barber met Monday evening and dis
cussed the matter in its various phases.
1t was the opinion of all present that the
town would. win q verdict If the suit was
pressed, but the selectmen reasoned that
as they were servants of the people, who
had expressed a desire that the case be
dropped, they would order the suit dis
continued, which they did. Their action
rela ties not only to the years previous to
the reorganization of the company, but
also to the year 1910, when taxes were
paid by the new company on s53, 400.
A letter to Clarke C. Fits, attorney
for the company. was drawn up and
mailed Tuesday morning, reading as fol-
lows;
Replying to your letter of the 23d re-
lating to the case of the town of Brat
tleboro VS., the Hooker, Corser & Mitchell
Co., in view of the resolution adopted at
the special town meeting Feb II, 1911,
we have directed that the action be dis
continued.
