Heavy Wash-out on the Erie IL.

Heavy WaSh.Cut on the Erie II. IL.
Port Jervis, August Is. This afternoon about
9 o'clock, the roadway at the Cascade ravine, on
the Erie railroad, about four miles this side OF the
Susauehanna depot. Pennsylvania, was washed
away making gap 225 feet long and $50 feet
deep. At this point the railroad crosses ravine
about 100 feet deep and 400 feet wide, spanned by
an immense ucstle, which was filled in several
wears ago. Fears were entertained that the en-
bankment would 90 out. About 2 O'Clock the
water was seen TO rise very fast, and in few min
utes the immense dam gave way.
The cause Of the water rising so rapidly was the
breaking away of mill dam some distance above
the railroad. 1t will probably require five or six
DAYS to put tleste across the gap. The Erie
trains take the Delaware. Lackawana and western
train from here. The storm is now over and the
barometer is rising.
Binghampton despatch says much damage
has been done to the roads. The Utica and SYRIA
cuse trains have been delayed by high water. The
rivers are high, but doing no damage.
