strength F.; with the additional weight
of the hoppers the disaster is sort of
surprise to those acquainted with the
merits of the structure. Most of the
timbers were saved, and no further
loss sustained.
Above Franklin the railroad bridge
is minus several spans, and the bridge
embankment just below was washed
out considerably.
About two o'clock Monday morning
one-half of the railroad bridge over
the Potomac gave way, and washing
down against the Westernport-Pied-
mont bridge forced away about one
third of that structure. A bridge
short distance above these belonging
to H. G. Davis & Co., was swept away,
as was also one leading from Western
port to "The Island" making total
of two bridges seriously injured and
two entirely gone within half mile.
Against the stone piers Of Western
port-Piedmont bridge the debris of
logs, lumber and other drift are still
piled up in the most approved style,
giving some idea of the sweep, depth
and strength of the torrent. The Sec
ton of this bridge carried away rests
nearly intact about $50 feet below
and is surrounded by pieces of iron
bridge, rails, ties and fair admixture
of saw logs and other toys that floods
play with. Both bridges lost their
West Virginia sections. The lower
parts of Piedmontsustained some dam
age by overflow. Messrs. H. G. Davis
& Co. lost in bridge, logs and lumber
about $4,000. A brick-kiln on The
Island" belonging to James Rowan,
was swept away; loss $1,000.
Along both the county and railroad
the work of repairs was vigorously
pressed. On the latter large numbers
of men were employed at different
points readjusting bridges, embank-
ments, bed and track. The amount
of work to be done is very great and
will occupy several days yet before
trains can run from Westernport to
Cumberland The losses sustained by
the railroad and coal companies and
private citizens cannot be fairly esti
mated, but they will run up into
the thousands.
