scribed by Charles +. Jones, the former valet one
of Mr.. Osborne's witnesses was Dr. Robert Cole

DR. Kemp contradicted the testimony of other
medical experts by declaring that the odOr of

WATER LNVADES BANGOR.
BREAKS BRIDGES. FLOODS CITIES AND
CUTS OFF COMMUNICATIONS.

Bangor. Me-. March 20.-Bangor suffered to-
night the greatest disaster by food since the
city inundated in the great freshet of lSlo.
Greater damage is threatened. All winter the
river has been filling up with so-caed anchor
ice the mass n places extending to the bottom
of the river. Within few days there have
been heavy rains, and these have swollen the
river and set the ice jams and the masses Of
logs that frozen in last fall moving.
AT 715 p IN. to-day big jam above the city
moved down and stopped opposite the wharves.
causing the river to back up and flood the lower
streets with several feet of water, driving peo-
pie from their houses along the river front and
filling the easements of stores up to the beams.
Most of the stocks of goods had been removed in
anticipation of a freshet but many thousands Of
dollars worth still in the Easements when
the flood came and these goods for the most
part ruined.
Boats are in use in lower Broad-st.. and every
truckman in the city has been busy tonight
hauling goods from stores to places of safety.
The Waterworks has been shut down, the pump
ing station being flooded out; suburban lines are
under water, and the trains from the east that
arrived tonight stalled just above the sta
tion the cars standing up to the floors in water.
The most serious disaster occurred at ,. m.
when a jam above the Maine Central Railroad
away a pier and two spans Of the bridge thus
cutting off all railroad communication with
Mount Desert and Washington County.
The jam ana sections of the wrecked bridge
crashed down against the big wooden toll
bridge carrying away the middle section of
that and thus cutting off all communication be
tween the cities of Bangor and Brewer. When
the railroad bridge went down the toll bridge
crowded with people watching the flood.
and these, hearing the crash, made mad rush
for the shores, Whether or not all got ashore
is not known, and frantic search is now being
made by friends and relatives of supposed lost
ones. Many Bangor people caught in
Brewer and vice versa. so that it cannot be told
how many. if any, went down with the bridge.
The only means of communication between thc
two cities is by megaphonc as all wires went
with the bridges. Many storehouses were swept
away with contents. and the whole river is
streWn with wreckaSe, including millions of feet
of logs and lumber
The city streets aye in darkness. the lighting
plant having been flooded out. and it Is difficult
To- estimate the extent of the damage, which.
however. is large Should the remaining jam
above come down the disaster would he in
finit ely greater Between Bangor and open
water below there five miles of ice part of
il the original formation and part of it jams
fifteen to twenty feet deep. At midnight the
whole city is on the watch for further disaster.
