Traffic on A., B. & A.
Alapaha River Crossing Destroyed by
Fire-Sparks From Locomotive
Blamed for Blaze.

CORDELE, July 19.-The Alapaha
River bridge on the Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlanta Railway. two
miles south Of Rebecca, was destroy
ed by fire yesterday about noon, tenn

freight traffic over the road between
Cordele and Fitzgerald. 1t is thought
that the fire caught from sparks from
the engine of a northbound passen-
ger train.
Until the bridge can be rebuilt,
which will probably require a week,
all passenger trains will be detoured
between Cordele and Triton over the
Georgia Southern and Florida Rail
road, and between Fitzgerald and Tiff
ton over the Townsville branch of
the A, B. & A. road. Perishable
freight also will be routed over these
roads.
