DAMAGES TO GLEN ECHO ROAD.
The rain storm of Saturday night very se-
riously damaged the road Of the Glen Echo
Railway Company. The roadbed in many
places is entirely washed away, in some places
to such an extent to enable person to walk
under the suspended tracks. A car starting on
its return trip from Tenleytown had to be
abandoned owing to the great amount of water
that was pouring over the tracks. The track
just above the old River road is badly twisted.
The last car leaving Glen'Echo was compelled
to return and its passengers. about a dozen In
number, had to spend the night at Cabin John.
Men were put at work early yesterday morn
ing to repair the damages. Last evening a car
was able to travel on one track only as far as
the River road.
