year ago last spring the Westbrook Man
ufacturing Company erected a bridge from
| the main street, Saccarappa, to the company's
| mill. distance of some three hundred feet.
The bridge was supported, in part, by iron
| stanchions, the lower ends of the rods enter
ing into rocks in which holes had been drilled
to receive them. Last winter some of these
stanchions, il is reported, were lifted out of
the rocks, to which they had been fitted, by
the ice as it swept ont Of the river. Monday
afternoon, about o'clock. a locomotive,
pushing twelve heavily loaded coal cars,
reached Main street, and, putting on steam.
showed the train on to the bridge All at once
the bridge was seen to shiver and sway to and
fro, and then it gave way, precipitating six
cars, with their freight, into the Presumpscot,
while seventh hung over the end of the
bridge that failed TO give way. Nobody was
hurt. The expense in the loss OF the bridge
and getting the cars out of the river must be
pretty heavy.
Monday afternoon while Mr.. T. J. Went
worth. who resides on q large farm at or
near East Baldwin, was looking out of the
window of the house, he saw a spark from
the chimney light on his barn and set it on
fire. He was so dazed, and at the same
time his nearest neighbor lived quite dis
lance of that before he ran for help he for
got to open the front door. In the barn were
four fine Jersey heifers, said to be registered
stock, and twenty Berkshire pigs. There
were also all the implements of first class
creamery. Before help could be procured, to
any extent, the house and barn, all the above
stock and implements, were consumed. 1t
Is reported only two tables of all the furni-
ture in the house were saved. The house
and barn and farm-the latter used for past
urage-and owned by Mr.. Wentworth, but
he lease the farm to Gen. Mattocks of Port
land In connection with the Riverside Farm

half affair, and the barn a large substantial
structure. The loss on buildings and furni-
ture TO Mr. Wentworth must he abou, 5000
