Water.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 18.-Short-
ly before 2 O'Clock this morning the
dam which had been piling up water
at the new Wilson avenue bridge

The culvert got stopped up several
days ago and the water was damned
up 30 feet. At 1890 q. m. the sixth
abutment of the Wilson avenue bridge

low. Then with q tremendous report
it snapped in two above the great hole
which has been washed away beneath
It.
About $50 feet of the bridge forms
an incline to the bed for the creek be-
low, where are the tracks of the Nickel
