| Railroad Bridge Fallen In |
| We have been informed by Mr.
J. M. Newton, Mail Agent on the Jackson Railroad, that the recent
detention of the mail on that route was owing to the falling in of a
bridge over a stream about two miles above Terry and some eighteen
this side of Jackson. Mr. Newton heard that the up train of the 1st
instant had just passed over the bridge, and, in fact, was not out of
sight when it fell in. The cause seems to have been very high back
water from the Pearl river, and not recent rains, as some may have
supposed. The bridge will be soon rebuilt, and in the meantime mails
and passengers will be transferred across the stream from one train to
another. |
