entire Republic about 10000 or 12,O0O.
These figures are being gradually reduced,
however, and now the story is that there
were three distinct shocks, the first one
being so light that many OF the people
had time to escape into the streets.
There was enough distress evident, how

Navigation Company basin. opposite Easton
and right below the big railroad bridge, gave
way, precipitating torrent OF water directly
against the piers of the new bridge connect
ing the Pennsylvania with the New Jersey
Central and Lshigh Valley roads. The strain
was tremendous, for the break was clean
and sudden, fully seventy-lve feet OF
wall going down. releasing body Of water
twenty-five feet deep. The wall was an aver
age of ten feet in thickness, and 1t will cost
It least $4,000 to repair the damage. The
canal banks are washed away In various
places, and 1t will be several months before
navigation can be resumed. The break will
seriously affect business on the Morris Canal,
as the Lehigh Canal was feeder.
