of Roaring and Surg
ing Stream Goes Back
to Accustomed Place
No Serious Damage Done
to the Large Bridges
Across Stream-TheJ
We're SOrely Tried

After twenty-four hours of surging
and roaring the Brandywine has settled
down like any well-behaved stream.
All along the banks on both sides, how
ever, the big piles of ice, in places
reaching height Of six feet, show
plainly the rampage it was on yester-
day.
In the lowlands much water is still
in evidence. Between the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad tracks and the Delaware
River beyond the Eleventh streetbridge
thcrc is almost an unbroken sheet OF
water.
The people who live near the stream
who moved their belongings to the
second floor on Sunday night were busy
this morning putting them back in their
accustomed places. No further fear is
felt. Those who have watched the
stream for many years claim there will
be no further trouble from high tides
this year.
After being released from the Bran
dywine bridge Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the big scow which came near
causing so much trouble. fioated down
the stream until Seventh street bridge
was reached. Here il became lodged
again by the railroad men with dynamite
and making a jam. ii was attacked
again by the railrod men with dynamite
and blown up. This time it was re-
duced almost to kindling wood and
fioated out into the river.
Bridge Not Badly Damaged.
Contractors were busy about the
railroad bridge over the Brandywine
this morning. II was found the struc-
ture had not been badly damaged
neither had the abuttments for the new
elevated bridge. About the only thinl
necessary was to replace two of tn,
rails on the draw. which were badly
wrenched hy the contact with the scov
on Monday night.
In both Brandywine and Kirkwoot
Parks the high water mark was showI
by wall Of ice.
Smaller Bridges Damaged.
Several smaller bridges through tn,
county were damaged in one way an,
another. Levy Court Commissioner
spent most OF yesterday making in
vestigation OF these and making ar
rangements for their repair.
Damage at Port Deposit.
Port Deposit. Nd. Feb. 2S.-Never il
the history Of the village of Rowlands
ville situated five miles north of Por
Deposit, has such havoc been wrough
by a flood as that which visited tn
place yesterday.
The entire populace was aroused from
bed at 4 o'clock this morning by tn
thunderous roar OF the ice breaking III
in Octororo creek. which flows directll
through the village Almost before tn
inhabitants could don clothing tn
water had risen within their homes
The flood reached a height of 80 fee
above the creek bed and was 10 fee
