RAILWAYS SUFFERED.
Much Damage In and Around Trenton
by Washing Out Of Bridges.

TRENTON. N. j.. Oct. 1.-THE extent Of
damages done by the flood m this section
is now beginning to be fully realized At
least six and possibly all nine Of the wagon
and foot bridges across the Delaware river
between this city and Easton, Pa, have
been carried away.
Railroad traffic on the Belvidere division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad between this
city and Easton has been suspended since
Saturday morning, both for passenger and
freight and the running Of trains may not
be renewed for another day or two. Many
washouts are reported on the different
points and in some places the tracks are
submerged. by the overlooking of the
river. The railroad officials here have only
meagre information as to the condition of
the Belvidere division as all the telegraph
wires down, with the exception of a
single one between this city and Lamberts-
Vile and that works imperfectly. Rail-
road traffic on the Amboy division from this
city to Camden is also entirely suspended.
The tracks along the river between this
city and Bordentown. are submerged at
points to a depth of three feet and it is
not considered safe to run trains until the
water has receded and the washouts have
been repaired. Traffic on the main line of
the Pennsylvania Railroad is now being
conducted with very little deviation from
General Superintendent Sheppard, of the
pennsylvania Railroad Company, was here
again to-day with corps of engineers and
gave further thought to remedying Of the
condition under which the flooding of the
company's tracks is made possible whenever
there is rise in the Assanhink creek. The
plan understood to be favored is the raising
of the bed of the Delaware & Raritan canal
about five feet at the point where the canal
crosses over the company's tracks This
will permit the raising of the tracks and
will bring the level of the canal above the
present surface of adjoining property and
interSecting streets.
The Delaware d Raritan canal and the
canal feeder both are reported to have sew
eral breaks in their banks at different
points. Assistant Superintendent Dunn, of
thought these breaks would be repaired to
permit the resumption of traffic by Tues
day. The water in the river has fallen con-
siderably here to-day. About 100 houses in
South Trenton are still partially under
water by reason Of the overlooking of the
river. The city's water power supply,
which is an artificial stream running
through the city parallel with and about
three blocks back from the city, also over
flowed and did considerable damage. This
has made a sort of an island of the inter-
vening high ground. Comparatively small
damage is being done outside of the injury

Where the houses are flooded there seems
to be no current, and the structures are not
being weakened on their foundations. In
some of the houses the occupants have not

engine rooms. The factories are located
along the river and most of them are small

authoritative source that the receiver
James Smith, jr., will recommend the levy

New Jersey courts will order the assess

sey laws the stockholders of embar-
raised corporation can be compelled to pay
par value for stock which they have pur-
chased, and the receiver intends to collect

sought out the key clerk and whispered
few words to him and wrote something on a

bell hop, and soon he was worming his
way through the crowded lobby, yelling at
the top of his voice:
Card for Mr.. J.. Pierpont Morgan,
Car-r-r-r-d for Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan"
AS soon as the men nearest the yelling
boy realized what he had called out they
showed a lively interest in the boy and his
mission.
"Car-r-r-r-d for Mr.. j. Pierpont Nor

the top of his voice. The crowd surged
about him, and every man who could fol-

yesterday afternoon, is still in a critical
condition. but to-day the st. Elizabeth Hos
pital authorities held out strong hopes for
his recovery. The injuries to his head have
proved less severe than at first supposed,
although the brain was slightly injured and
dangerous complications are likely. The
doctors have decided not to amputate the
left leg. which was badly mangled above
the knee by the car wheel. The thigh WAS
crushed and femur fractured, but there is
hope of saving the usefulness of the limb.
Chris Stocker, one of the Lahr House pro-
prietors, who was also injured in the acct
dent, is slowly improving and will not suffer
any i'll effects. The accident has caused
great deal of comment, in which there is a
current of censure for the street railway
company. The car which struck Mr.. Brock
enbrough was not equipped with fender,
otherwise the accident would have been a
trivial one. The brakes on the car also
refused to work properly, and the unfOrtu-
nate man was showed nearly 100 feet before
the car came to standstill. Motorman
John Dewey was unable to stop the car
sooner.
