Went Through the Bridge,
Last Monday aflernoon a traction
engine wes being taken across the
bridge on the edge of Millbe'm, on the
road leading to Aaronsburg. The
bridge was too weak to stand the
weight of the engine and broke down,
the engine landing in a heap in the
creek. The men escaped without in-
jury, and for several days have been
trying to clear up the wreckage.
