Big Four Bridge at Lafayette Was Condemned.

The Big Four, bridge over the Vtyabash river at Lafayette was condemned Wednesday and until repaired Big Four trains can not pass over the bridge. One Big Four train went from Lafayette to Chicago over the Monon road Wednesday evening and it was expected other trains would detour in the same way but none have passed through today. There is nothing new in the local train service. The milk train north bound was two hours late this morning: No. 5 was an hour and a half late yesterday and No. 6 was about 4% hours late in the afternoon. The Hoosier Limited is running via Lafaytete and the Big Four to Indianapolis.
