SUSOUEHANNA RAMPANT.
Thousands Homeless and Millions of Dollars
Loss Along Its Ice Gorged Banks.
PART OF CONoWINGO BRIDGE GONE

The long expected break iii the
ice. gorged Susquehanna occurred
this week and many scenes of dew
astation along its banks are the re-
suit. While in places it is thought
the worst is over, at other points
alone the course of the river more
damage is feared.
Thousands Of people have been
made homeless and millions of dol.
lars worth of property have been
destroyed along the north branch
of the Susquehanna. At Catawi ssa
and Bloomsbury the water was
forty-two feet above low water
mark. Down nearer the mouth of
the river the damage has not been
so great. Two spans of Conowingo
bridge, on the Cecil county end,
were washed away and many rail
road and county bridges further up
the Stream were carried away en-
tirely by the raging torrent and
heavy pack of ice.
Port Deposit, Lapidum and
Havre de Grace have suffered con-
siderable damage but nothing to
compare with the losses sustained
further up the river.
The water commenced to rise at
Port Deposit on Sunday night and
railroad traffic has been cut off ever
since. Nearly all the families on
the west side of Main street have
been compelled to leave their homes,

some OF the houses being submerg-
ed to the second story. Fortunate
ly the immense body of ice has not
been swept from the bed of the
river onto the town, and as the pack
has moved from day to day a large
portion of it has passed out into the
bay.
The heavy rain on Monday caus-
ed all the streams in this section to
overflow and the rural mail carriers
were much delayed, one of the Ris-.
ing Sun. carriers being detained
over four hours before reaching
home. When the swollen creeks
reached the river on Monday after
noon, the water rose a foot minute
in Port Deposit. From the Port
Deposit Store company's establish
ment at Rock Run down to the
Colchester Steamboat company's
warehouse, considerable damage
has been done.
At Lapidum and Havre de Grace
there is also considerable damage,
among the wreckage at the former
place being portion of Silver &
Spencer's fish packing house. This
firm also lost a naptha launch and
a freight boat.
On account of the break in Con-

Accidents.

While engaged in loading hickory
timber upon a wagon at Hartzler &
Bros. saw mill, in the Mrs. Clara
L. Turner woods, near town, on
Tuesday afternoon, Geo. Keithley,
who drives one of the teams belong
ing to Cecil McNamee, was seriously
injured. The timber being loaded
was short hickory logs, cut in
three-foot lengths for spoke stuff,
which besides being heavy are un-
handy to load. AS the young man
was lifting one of these short logs
onto the wagon it slipped from his
grasp, striking him on the shoulder,
knocking him down, and falling
with its full weight upon his chest,
causing what are feared to be SER
ious internal injuries.
