Che Broken Ice Gorge.

DESCRIPTION OF ITS MOVEMENT oUTwARD-A VERY
TAME AND QUIET AFFAIR-FDoop MARKS AT poRr
DEPosIT.
Special TO the Baltimore american.
PORT DEPosIT MARCH 80.
After nearly two weeks suspense, occasioned
by the ice gorge that extended from below Ha.
vre-de-G Grace to some distance above this place
the citizens were relieved on Sunday night by
the breaking of the jam. The ice-feld was firm
up to Sunday afternoon, but it was known that
the warm air and sun of the preceding days had
greatly weakened it. On Sunday the gorge as
sumed black color, which was caused by the
effect of the sun, which melted the top ice very
rapidly, and left muddy sediment remaining
on the ice below.
THE SOUTH END OF THE GORGE,
at Havre de Grace, began to break up on Sunday
and before nishtfall all the exposed ice was
honeycombed and in disintegratng condition.
About 10 o'clock Oh the same night the eastern,
or false channel, near the Cecil county shore,
began to break near Havre de Grace, and the de-
tached ice was carried off by the current.
The opening of the gorge at Havre de Grace of
course weakened the ice field here and before
midnight some of the anxious citizens discov-
cred that a channel from Rock run, a little east
of the centre of the river, was open.
rHR NEWS SPREAD RAPIDLY,
and hundreds of people flocked to the shore to
witness what was expected to be a wonderful
sight. 1t is perhaps needless to say, however,
that they were all disappointed, as the breaking
up of the gorge proved very tame and uninter-
esting spectacle. There was no mighty rumbling
ncrhood, nor as there any p, riculai Excitement
and the crowd OF curious people thai assembled
to witness it oulv saw narrow channel of run
ming water filled with huge cakes of dirty look
ing ice.
FLOOD MARKS.
The painful signs of the recent flood ars still
plainly visible here. Many yards in the lower
part Of the town are filed with water the
streets are covered with logs, cord-wood and
other debris and many of the houses still have
damp look. The people, however, are busiy
engaged in cleaning up, and the work of reno
vation is being pushed forward with commenda-
BILE rapidity The damage done to personal pro-
perty by the recent gorge and subsequent flood
is variously estimated at from $500 900 to $400,-
900, but nothing definite can be stated for sew
eral weeks to come.

THEY TAKE POSSESSION o. NEW uoUsE WHICH is
uSoccupIED,-A ROBBERY OVER THE WAY ON
SUNDAY NIGAr
On Sunday night last, about 8 O'Clock, while
the family were all ont ut church, the dwelling
Of Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips. No. SlS Washington
street, was entered by robbers and two gold
watches and other jewelry valued at about 5000
stolen. The entry was n ade through the back
parlor window, the blinds having been forced
open with hatchet and the glass broken so as
to turn the cash fastening.
The instrument used for this wolk was a
hatchet belonging to j. II. d. Seeds, which had
been left in one OF the new buildings which Mr..
). erected last year for Wm. L. Westbrook, oil
the opposite side of tile street. This led to an
examination of the new houses, when it WAS dis
covered that the thieves occupied the uprer Of
the three as their headquarters. Upon the floor
was found several cushions and 9TH
er soft material for bedding, and it
ia supposed that they slept there
obtaining their meals elsewhere. Strange
as it may seem, they were not detected in going
out or III. Their entry, as denoted by their
tracks, seems to have been made through win
dow OF the middle building, and out over the
roof of that building to the upper one, in the
third story of which they lodged.
Upon several occasions young lady in Mrs.
Phillips family has observed young man seat
ed at the third story window, but although the
fact was known that the house was unoccupied
the circumstance did not create any apprehen-
sions in her mind or cause her to give notice
thereof to the owner of tie property. She de-
scrhes tile man rather young with dark hair
whiskers and complexion and dressed in dark
clothes. She has several tines met this man on
tho street and recognized him. and would be
able to do so again wore he brought in her pres
ence.
No burglar tools were found in the building,
and the hupposition is that they were common
thieves. They have evidently been watching
Mrs. phillips' residence for some time, and
seized upon this as fitting opportunity to make
their meditated descent upon her property.

BREAK IN THE BRANDywINE MILL RACE. THE
constant strain of tho recent heavy floods, COM
bined with the severe winters frosts, resulted
on Friday last in making break in tho mill race
bank on the south side of the Brandywine at the
foot of YanBuren street, The breach which
was then not very large was temporarily re-
paired, but the violence o the water, increasing
the bank gave way second time, leaving an
opening about thirty feet in length, and
ten feet in depth. A large force
of workmen were put at work and they are now
building stone wall about four feet in thick
ness, which will be fully able to resist all the
strain that may be made. Tho bank will oe
completed by tomorrow, when the mills, which
have been idle will be enabled to resume opera
tons. The wisdom of having had pipe laid
from the city water works to the Biandywine is
now fully shown, for by it the city is nov con-
tnuously supplied with water, which would have
