Wagons can no longer cross Newport bridge. The Loutsy.ile and Nashville trains receive passengers on the trestle at the Cincinnati end of the bridge. They Teach it by boats. The Cincinnati, Hamilton and | Dayton road, Which has been the only outlct ror | trains north and east, to-night went un ler the | Dood to such an extent that no trains could pass. This leaves the city practically cut off from une rest of the world to the north, east and west by rail communication, except that the Bee Line road sUll runs trains, leaving from the stoc! ards Sta- tion. This outlet is also accessivle by Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore trains, Three hundred passengers are walting at Winton Place for trans- portation by omnibus Into the city.
