encouragement, and many time Cheer
up and 1t ism e rs bad as 1t might have
been, were heard
lt was impossible TO go from Gardiner
to Augusta by the main road the only
means of travel being by what is called
the back road" There was several feet
of water in Farmingdale near Bowman
street, and further down, nearer Gardi-
ner, there was a long patch of water
which was as high as man 5 head.
An ice jam formed about u nile from
the city. and at o'oiook, whom it broke,
the damage which it did was very heavy
One side of Phillips mill in Fariningdale
was destroyed and the timbers 1ioated
down the river The machinery in the
mill WAS also damaged to considerable
extent. It will take large sum, prob
ably s25, 600, to repair the structure. A
number of logs near the mill were taken
by the ice and current and strewn across
the road in Farmiugdae making one
large mass, by which team could not
pass.
About this time the bridge broke away
which was anticipated all day by those
who had watched it. In fact, there was
rumor prevalent about O'Clock, that
she was going then, and scores rushed to
points of vantage hoping to get a glimpse
of the structure as it disappeared.
A large crowd had been watching the
old structure, and when the great jam
was seen grinding its way down the rivsr
after having crushed out the side and
ends of Phillips new mill in Farming
dale, the word was passed along that the
bridge would have to go.
The jam came with terrific force, and
struck the bridge with great crash, the
piers were loosencd and good sized part
of the structure slid into the Kennebec
and is now far on its way to the sea.
Everybody hated to see it go, not only for
the great inconvenience It's loss will cause,
but also for the attachment brought by
years Of honest service and association.
AZ all of the Soldiers Home supplies
have to be transported across the river to
the Kennebec Central, the loss of the
bridge will mean n great deal. besides the
bother and loss of communication of the
many Randolph people doing business or
daily visiting Gardiner.
Postmaster Milliken and his assistants
were around early in the morning and
moved all the letters, etc, to the upp, +
story of the building The loss will be
nothing. The other persons on the street
did not fare so we'll, however and par
tial list is here given. These are what
the merchants themselves estimate their
damage. The list is as follows:
