1Ae Storm-Destruction Of tie Railroid
Brld9e orer tie 'SusqueAaand. We are in
formed that the storm on Wednesday even
ing which was very light in this vicinity,
was very heavy in the neighborhood of the |
susqnehanna River, Nd The bridge which
has been under construction for several
years past over the River from Perryville to
Hayre-de,Grace, was entirely DESTROYED,
ms bridge was intendedto be used by the |
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore !
Railroad, and also by tile through New York |
road, which have been using large ferry. |
noals to transport their cars across the river. |
Inc bridge WAS massive affair, and almost |
completed Very little remained to be con |
strucled out the draw. The havoc made by |
the storm was terrible. 1t is said that the |
WIND blew perfect hurricane. Heavy |
planks were sundered from their strong |
iastenings in twinkling.
Inc heavy blocks Of stone which formed |
the piers were blown down as so many pieces
OF wood. Almost everything composing the
once massive structure was swept away. The
violence OF the storm was beyond deserp
tlon Nothing in comparison with it has ever
oeen known IN that vicinity. 1t was not long
IN duration, but the damage done in thai
short time was immense. il will take mil.
lions OF dollars to cover the loss.
Inc telegraph wires in the vicinity of the
Snsquehanna which communicate between
Phlladelphia and Baltimore were swept from
The poles, and injured in such a manner as
TO prevent the transmission of messages.
Strange TO say that while so heavy storm
prevailed within so short distance of our
city, 1t was not felt here. In fact. ours was
only a good shower, and the onlyregret was
that il was not of longer duration. We Ind
neither heavy gust of wind nor hail.
