it was oonveyed to tho residence of its parents .

FALL OF A RAILWAY BRIDaE AT KELVEPON AND LOSS OF LIFE . On Thursday morning , a fearful accident ocenrzed on tbe -works of the Eastern Counties Railway , at Kelvedon , in the fall of a stupendous bridge * wfaicb . was very near completion , occasioning the loss of one life ami iujurmg six other persons . . Thebridge in question was situated on tEe noith side of the high , road at the east end of Ketvedon . Jt consisted of threes arches , the first baing thrown over the roan leading ., to * Cog ^ eshs . U , the second over the river , ancj the tiiir-. I joined up to the enibankineDt at the Colchester end . Thocentre of the flrat arch was struck last week , and the road under it had been tiirowappen
to the public The clearing of the timber from tha othtr arches was completed on Monday -and a great nil ra b ^ r of bricklayers had been eui ployed throughout thia week ip-carrying ap the parapets . The rails had hem laid down , and the earth waggons were worked over it , to carry on the embankment at the east end . On Thursday morning there were altogether about twenty men employed upon itj when , about ten o ' cloek , the whole Buddenly cams down with a crash which sounded to She inijabitanta © f Kelvadoniike a heavy peal of thunder . Fifteen or sixteen bricilayera who were upon the Bdaffoldmg , were huiied , with the bricks , timber , and " earth , in all directions , some of thfim falling inti ) the river ; but , fortunately , they appear to have
escaped with only a few bruises awd lacsrations . At the moment of the fall , however , a man , named Th 6 % ElsVy , a 'tipper' on the embankment , was standing ttiiiiid a Ipaded eatth-waggon , at the edge of tho last arch , and -was consequently carried down in the fall , the eattii- 'wa ^ rta- ' . falling on himi crushing and jpartially butyihgliira in the rubb ish . A a soon as the cbrfusion consequent upon the alarm of the terrific crash had subsided , prompt assistance was rendered to extacatehim , but he was quite : dead . Another nian , an aged labourer , was got outfrora the mass of rubbiish , and was found to br . vc oaeof his legs dreadfully crashed ; but prompt medical assistance being rendered it ia hoped ho msyanrvive .. ; ' ¦ ' :-. ¦ - ;¦ . .

-. , ; For some time it was feared that several other persons ha . perissd , but the workmen were assembled / and it was found this was not the case . . -, ; . ' - A ' bricklayer , named Wright , had an almost miraculous escape from destruction . He was employed upon the brict-work near the end of the bridge , and feeling the whole : mass giving way under him , ha gave a sudden ^ spring and jumped into the middle of the river , by which he escaped comparatively nn-We are informed that the accident was caused by the wet state of the weather when the work was put
together . In consequence of which the centres save been kept in for the lost four months , by the direction of the engineer-iB-cbief , but were , in the course of the last week , eased by the contractor . The whole mass was at first a wreck ,-completely blocking up the road , but vast numbers -of workman wens employed px clearing away the materials , to make a way for passengers along the road , aitd afford a vent to the waters of t&e river which were .: partially dammed op by the ruins . Tola was speedily effected , and both the road and river were restored to their former state . The damage is estimated at £ 2 , 060 , which will fall upon the contractors , Messrs Wsthes . -: ' ¦ - ¦ -v ¦ ¦ . '¦ : ¦ ¦ ' . . '• . ' ' :. - .. : r-: ~ -: -- ¦ , ¦ '¦"
