Beyond the serious delay in the move

Ohio railroad company suffered little dam

were under water. and for sixty hours no

was not under water al any time nor was
any damage reported in that section. The
keepers of the several boat houses between
Benning and the arsenal point had their
property protected, and SO far as is known
not even a bateau was lost. Very little In
formation has been received from the lower
Potomac, though it is known two piers
were swept away last week The creeks
were all high yesterday and the amount OF
drift wood in the river was greater than at
any time since the flood Of 1889.
Many people along the river front spent
the day catching drift wood and number
of families succeeded in putting away
years supply of such fuel At Alexandria,
the wharves were washed and the boatmen
had their craft ready to move In the event
of the water becoming dangerously high.
Part of the flats could not be seen because
of the high water and the sea wall proved
to be entirely too near the surface of the
river when it is normal. The farm of the
experimental station near the Long bridge
was inundated while above the bridge and
at the south end of the structure the ex-
panSe of water seemed much wider than 1t
really was.
What is left of old Jackson City at the
south end Of the bridge was under water.
Thousands of people stood on the bridge
during the day, although the wooden Struc-
ture seemed to creak and tremble under
the strain of the heavy volume of water
that was being constantly thrown against
it. There was also large crowd on the
Aqueduct bridge during the day from
where the partly inundated Analostan Is
land could be seem The causeway between
the island and the main land was complete

was all that could, with the exception of a
lot of drift, be seen on what is known as

Sisters and other rocks which usually pro-
trude far above the surface of the river
were not to be SEEN Above the Aqueduct
bridge the river was raging torrent and
nothing but a solid foundation saved the
Chain bridge from collapsng.
Destruction and Desolation.
The scenes of real destruction and desc

high was the water that the river was viz

CUMBERLAND. Md, March 3.-The
Pennsylvania is the worst crippled of all
railroads entering Cumberland on account
of having three bridges washed out between
Cumberland and Bedford. A three-span
steel bridge is wrecked at Hyndman and
from Cumberland to that point the Bati-
more and Ohio tracks will be used for an
indefinite period The Pennsylvania IS I'M

while loading stone to fill the waShout at
Cedar Cliff. for which forty car loads of
stone and sixty car loads of cinders were
required. A stone weighing at least 400
pounds rolled 300 feet down the mountain
and struck him on the side. He is in the
hospital here.
Railroad Building Trestle.
The Cumberland and Pennsylvania rail-
road in order to reach Piedmont soon
as possible, is trestling the extensive wash
out at Rees' curve. near Westernport.
Two Baltimore and Ohio bridge crews are
assisting with the work. and it is expected
the road will be in shape for traffic its en-

Cumberland will reach Barton today.
The Georges Creek and Cumberland, a
coal road running from Lonaconing TO

This morning the Baltimore and Ohio is
still rushing through Cumberland beiated

shut off from the east for nearly Sixty
hours There is a congestion of freight in
the yards here from the Pittsburg and
eastern divisions, both of which We're tied
up. Hundreds of men are engaged III

worst damage is at Okonoko Dry Wall.
Sir Johns Run. Turkey Foot and Cherry

Much Damage to Canal.
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal has been
left in bad shape. and boating. which it was
expected would be resumed March ID. may
be delayed several weeks. The stone part
of the Cumberland stop lock is washed
out and the towpath for two miles below
Cumberland is washed off for depth OF
three feet.
There is a large break in the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal near dam No. q, and the
towpath is badly broken between Bruins
wick and Point of Rocks. Information il
meager and the officials here expect To
hear of serious damage all along the line.
The Baltimore and Ohio, from 10 o'clock
to midnight last night, sent ten passenger
trains west. Freight trains are being sent
out at the rate of three an hour To relieve
the congestion in the yards here.
For three nights Cumberland has been

washed away to the depth of three feet
In some places. and the stop locks are also
badly damaged. Col. John w. Avirett,
state game warden. reached his home yes
terday afternoon from Martinsburg, w.
Va, where he was bloodhound. Hearing
that his newspaper Office, the Evening
Times. had been damaged. Col. Avirett felt
that. he should reach home, and as no
trains were running he hired team and
started to drive. On his way to Hancock
he found it necessary to cross swollen
streams in boats and let his horse swim
over. At Hancock he was Joined by b. G.
Davis and the two men drove home by a
circuitous route, which enabled them to
avoid the flooded sections.
Workmen are employed on the many
damaged bridges through that section. At
places where railroad bridges were wash

structed. The West Virginia Central and
Pittsburg railway resumed business yester-
day afternoon.

and last weeks rain had but little effect
upon the roadbed.
At Sir Johns run the water was unus-
ually deep, being about the fifteeen-foot
mark. The overflow on the tracks at Tus-
carora. this side of Washington Junction
was five feet deep, and the train from
Frederick was not able to pass that point
until the water had receded. A delay Of
five hours was caused by the covering Of
the tracks there.

Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1902-03-17

Washington, March 12.-President
Roosevelt yesterday sent his first veto
message to congress. The bill vetoed
was one removing the charge of deser-
ton from the naval record of John
Glass The message was:
There can be no graver crime than
the crime Of desertion from the army
or navy, especially during war; 1t is
then high treason to the nation and
justly punishable by death. No man
should be relieved of such a crime,
especially when nearly forty years
have passed since it occurred, save on
the clearest possible proof Of his real
innocense. In this case the statement
made by affidavit before the commit
tee does not in all points agree with
his statement made to the secretary OF
the navy. In any event it is compre-
hensible to me that he should not
have made an effective effort to set
back into the navy. He had served
Tut little more than month when ne
deserted and the war lasted over
year afterwards, yet he made no
effort whatever to get back into the
war. Under such circumstances, it
seems to me that to remove the charge
of desertion from the navy and give
him All honorable discharge would be
to falsify the records and do an in
justice to his gallant and worthy COM
rades who fought to the finish. The
names of the veterans who fought in
the civil war make the honor list Of
the republic; and | am not willing to
put upon it the name Of man I'M
worthy of the high position
After the message had been de-
livered Senator Gallinger rep, N. HI
from the committee on naval affairs
lead the report on which the senate
acted. From that statement it ap-
peared that Glass enlisted in January
