LOSS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. |
Correspondence of THE EVENING sran.

Correspondence The EVENING STAR
ROCKVILLE, June 4, 1889.
The usual crowd of people who assemble
here from all parts of the county was very
small to-day on account of the bad condition
of the roads, loss Of bridges, &C., caused by the
flood of last week. From the accounts received
from various points in the county it appears
that loss to our people will far exceed first
calculations. On the principal streams rum
ming through the county but few bridges are
left standing, and those that still remain are in
an unsafe condition. 1t is estimated by men
versed in such matters that it will require an
additional levy of $4,000 by the county COM
missioners to repair the roads and build new
bridges.
Along the Potomac and the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal the destruction is simply appalling,
and embraces all kinds of property. Among
the heaviest losers in that locality is DIR. Ed
ward Wootton, who owned a large amount of
property near the canal Several of his tenant
houses were swept away, his large warehouse
much damaged, and most of the contents. en-
bracing grain, fertilizers, and machinery de-
stroyed. The storehouse of Mr.. Clayton Fields.
at a point near the above place, together with
its contents. was also destroyed. The house of
Mr. Geo. Pennitield, near the mouth of Muddy
Branch, and one of the most popular fishing re-
sorts ON the Potomac, was carried away by the
Hood One OF the most fortunate points along
the river appears to be at Great Falls, where
but little loss was sustained, the large hotel Of
Mr.. Walter Carroll and storehouse of Ii. A.
Garrett remaining intact.
The losses along the canal fall heavily upon
the lock-keepers, boatmen. and laborers upon
that work, many of whom have back wages due
them from the company, with but poor pros
pect of realizing at an early day. Some of
them had already disposed of their claims to
merchants for the necessaries of life for their
families.
Along Rock creek the flood did much dam
age, the bridge at Horner's mill being carried
off, that on the Baltimore road being damaged
and the abutments for the new iron bridge at
