THE STORM.
Damage by the Flood.
The recent heavy ram has done considerable
damage and caused some heavy losses. We are
able us yet to get but very imperfect details, but
what we have been able to gather are quite bad
enough. This has been one of the hardest sea-
sons, in some respects, that we have had for
years, and tho almost constant rains have hurt
all kinds of crops that rain con hurt.
The present rain, however, has produced a
flood which has caused losses of much besides
crops.
P. W. & B. R. R.
The item we published yesterday concerning
this road Is not absolutely correct as there were
but two breaches instead of three as then stated,
neither was there my train of cars off the track
at Gray's Ferry, the damage done, however, was
greater than 1t was at first thought to be. The
first break took place at culvert Just this side
OF the switch thirteen miles this side of Balti-
more. The through passenger express between
New York and Washington, which left Philadel.
phia at 10 O'Clock on Thursday night, met with
an accident here. II Is supposed that nearly all
was washed away before the train reached the
culvert, for the engine by Its own momentum
jumped the breach but the tender fell In. The
train stopped on this side and was considerably
Jared by the accident but none Of the passengers
were hurt. Three men belonging on the train
were injured, one of them severely but none of
them seriously. The train was detained until
s.15 o'clock last evening, when 1t was got away,
the company meanwhile Ehaving sent plentiful
supplies of provisions To the passengers.
The injured parties were F. Ford, express agt,
H. W. Flanders of New York, and L. Easton of
Philadelphia, mail agents. The two latter were
removed to the Ericsson steamer to be conveyed
70 their respective homes. Baggage-master AL
bert Ransom was also slightly hurt, but no one
was killed.
The only other break on the road was at Swami
Greek, about five miles South of the Susquehan-
M. The damage done here was caused by
couple of county bridges washed away, higher
up the stream, coming down on the food and
knocking away the culvert.
