Made a Hallrood Fuienslon Bridge

bridge, and having the bridge Itself
, nrartirallv unharmed, susnemled In

. Into a suspension bridge In a night.
This bridge spanned the Muskingum
, Hh er, near Clarki svllle, Ohio, on the
Cincinnati .V Muskingum Hallrond.
Tin- structure wa w hat I known as n
tun span truss bridge. Kueh span was
7.1 feet long. W hen the country nil
about was under water, the bridge
stood hard and fast, for It had been
, strengthened to as great nn extent as
possible by stone piers and henry
foundation of mixed rork mid earth.
1 finally one night the watchmen locat
ed nt either end of the bridge hrnrd n
rrash and a mar and Ihe bridge moved
Vrr.V prrrcptlhly. It did not seem to
tilt, but tat her sagged, and as the night
was stormy ami n hard wind blowing
the railroad men made no effort to In
