Railroad Bridges Carried On-Three Hundred EamIIiea EI0oded Out.


 Hundred Families Flooded Out. BEAVER, Pa, Jan. 7.-The most serious disaster resulting from the flood in this To- cality has been the destruction of two bridges. Last night the pressure of water on the Fall ston bridge caused it to give way and it was carried by the strong current against the Cleves land and Pittsburg railroad bridge with great force, carrying it away bodily. The current there sets strongly toward Stones Point, along which the approach to the PittsbHrg and Lake Erie railroad company's bridge IS built l The iron trestIs was struck by the Plttsburg bridge and a breach made through which Q torrent of water rushed, steadily widening uptil fully three hundred feet of the approach l vas carried away and the work of destruc- l tion is still going on- The bridge itself Is 1 still safe and will probably escape unless de- 1 stroyed by some other large structure being 1 nrecipitated against it The water is now 1 six fset over the railway at Rochester. Three l hundred families in Freedom, Rochester and | Rridosvatar are flooded out and the distress l in these places is unexRmpled in recent times 1 The more fortunate people are dolng all In | their power to aid the sufferers by furnishing
 them shelter and providing them with food
 and clothing.
