GREAT DAMAGE TO THE CnSCINNATI RAN
ROAD.--The terrible rain storm on Monday
morning did great damage to the Clncln
natl Hamilton and Dayton Railroad. The
bridge over ELK Creek, near Trenton, But
Ter county, was entirely swept away by the
sudden and unprecedented rising of the
stream The bridge Is total wreck. Some
two hundred yards OF the railroad embank-
ment, la the vicinity of the bridge, was
also swept away.
The bridge over Twin Creek was also
considerably damaged--to such an extent
that the trains could not pass over IL until
evening. Travel over the road, MS well as
the transmission Of the mails, were almost
entirely suspended yesterday. Arrange
monts have, however, been made 60 run
trains both ways TO the breach, and trarss
fer passengers from ne train 60 the other
until the track is permanently repaired.
A break on this road Is serious inter
ruption 10 the immense amount of freight
and travel which constantly passes over it
but the accident in the present instance
was Of course one Of those unavoidable oc-
currences which human foresight could
not avert.
The Company has u large force at work
on the breach, and viii have the line In
complete running order nc the earliest mo-
ment possible.
