BosroS, March Sl.-A dispatch at the
Boston & Albany railroad this. morning

double arch the pier is gone, but the

sixty feet deep at the next arch, and the
stone work is half gone and mined. The
north half Of the arch will be blown out.
There is hole one hundred feet long
and fifty feet deep at the FIRST crossing.
Beyond the arch there is hole one hun.

From there to GAINESVILLE the track Is
ruined. At Jamesyille the arch Of the

feet deep. This break in the track shuts
off all connection with Worcester by the
main line, and the trains, which are de.
