damage, and resulting IN the close of the
bridge to travel. The Pittsburg & Western
railroad company suffers severely. Every
bridge and culyert from Calling
junction to the city has
been washed away. The road was able to
run out trains by using the Western Penn

Fort Wayne roads have all suffered greatly
and travel has been nearly suspended.
