Quick Shipment of a Bridge
A new iron bridge which is intended to span the Ligonier creek at Idlewild park will be shipped by special train over the Pennsylvania railroad tomorrow. It is the desire of the Ligonier Valley railroad company to have the bridge completed by Decoration day, and Freight Traffic Manager Edward Pitcairn has arranged to have the special train leave the bridge works in this city as soon as the structure is complete, and a fast run will be made all the way to Idlewild park.
