Railroad - Bridge over iusgieherina
at Harrisburg, was discovered-to be 'on
.fire, and sp rapidly did the flames spread
• - there being a high, wind at the time.
that-before; their progress 'could - berm
- rested, the' bridge was almost , entirely
consumed.' The fire starteilabout mid
way between'the 'bleed in the - middie
of the river andtheishore, causing much
damage to several buildings in the ' irti
rimediate vicinity meantime the flames
continued tespread in the opposite di.
rection, until twenty of the twenty-four
arches eomposing the bridge, were en
tirelY consutned;' AA effort to blow up
the' bridge where it crosses the island
and,thus arrest the progress of the fire,
proving uniuccessftil, the roof and the
.greater portion of the timbers were cut
in two,. abtTut the middle of the fifth
.arch from-the Harrisburg side of the
river: The means was successful in
stopping the flames, but onforttrnately
cost the lives of a number of citizens;
for whin the fire reached the fifth pier
the
,Whole span fell into the river, car.
tying with it 50 or 60 , persons who
were engaged with the „fire apparatus
.between the fourth pier and The point
cut, catching a number between the
timbers, mangling their bodies in a hor.
rible manner, and severely injuring sev
eral others.
kr:Ea.—The Democratic Union, of
Thursday; says :—its if by a Providen
tial interfereace, the loss 'of life was net
so great as apprehended . by those on
shore, a large number having clung
the' timbers, ,and others being , relieved
froni their perilous situation by means
of boats. The princiPal sufferers are—
John Yousling„ instantly killed ; Tho
-1&s De Moss, a latilabout 14 years of
age,- not expected to survive; John
Brown, a Mr. Rhoads, and Mr. Van
Camp, dangerously injured; a number
of others More or less hurt.
This bridge was'. one of the Most
splendid pieces of architecture in the .
country. - The track of the rail-road
was latd upon the top, and beneath was
a double carriage way and foot path.—
It was over a mile in length, and the
cost of construction was upwards of
030,000. The fire originated doubt-
Ass friar a spark from a locomiitive.7
There is little probability that it will
soon be re-constructed. .

COM. VO, WM. S. SPENCER—Prose
num, 0. P. Ballard. - 2
This' was an indictment for • sOting
Are to and burning on the
,14th day Of
April last, the barn, of the prosecutor
in Troy, containing a large quantity of
hay and grain. ,
The indictment was found -against
Lemuel and William Spencer; 'but aa
the former left the country soon after
his arrest, the latter only was placed
upon his trial..
The evidence was entirely circum
stantial, and the principal circumstances'
relied on to procure a conviction were,
that some ti me previous to the burning
of the barn, Mi. Ballard had collected
a debt of Mrs. Farnsworth, the-mother
in-law of the defendant Which so ex—
cited Spencer, that repeated , threats
were made by him, that, Mr.. Ballard
would lose ten" time's.as, much property
as he had thus unjustly acquired.
The prosecution also gave in evi
dence, that some time previous. Thad
deus Spencer died in debt to Ballard,
leaving propeity sufficient to paY all
claims against him. That his father
and brother took possession of the
property, and refusing to pay the debt
due by , Thaddeus, were sued by Mr.
Ballard, and judgment recovered against
them-. That after this occurrence,
threats were thrown out, that this would
do Ballard no good, that they would
barn his barn, dr.c.
Thera was also some testimony to
- show. that after the barn was burnt,
the defendant said he was not sorry, but
that he wished his house had shared
the same fate with hini halt; and.iliat,'
at different times, he gave variant-.ac
counts of his whereabouts.ou the night
of the fire.' The' Prosecution. , after
having attempted to establish a concert
between the two indtiridtials indicted.
offered to prove - -thilleclarations made
by Lemhel in relation to this matter, to
operate as evidence against *Minn:
The Court did not deem , the concert
sufficiently
"wade Out, and. the . eindence
was accordingly rejected. • -
On the part of the defendant, setters]
witnesses were - called to prove an alibi.
Then purport , of this Wati, that sp an ie l .
