from the hillsides on many thoroughfares,
rendering them impossible. While a
number of people we're standing on the
bridge of the Baltimore & Ohio, span
ming the Wheeling river, it gave way
precipItating twenty or thirty persons
into the river. Eight we're rescued, but

persisted. At CaldEell's Run, in the lower
end of the city, four dwellings, were swept
away and eleven persons drowned.

swept away on the bridge ten are known
