MOUNTAINS OF ICE
RACING DowN STREAM
n. X. Bedford Crushed 10 q Pulp by
the Raging ohio-No Damage
at Wheeling.

Sweeping down in a rushing, swirl
ing torrent. millions Of tons OF the
heaviest ice seen by local rivermen
for more. than a quarter or a century
passed this port yesterday, leaving a
trail OF destruction In its wake. Run
ming bank full with huge cakes OF ice,
the Ohio started rising rapidly during
the early morning. but before dusk
the crest was reached here when a
stage OF % feet 10 inches was regis
tered and the river remained station
airy. Caught In the grasp of blocks OF
Ice which were nearly as large as
mill stones and running almost at race
horse speed. the ii. X. Bedford. Of the
Observation-Disclosures trade. was
sunk at Waverly yesterday and the
boat and heavy cargo are a complete
loss. Only her smoke stack remains
sticking out OF the water.
Had the expected stage OF 80 to 3s
feet been reached here thousands and
thousands of dollars worth OF prop
erty loss would have resulted. This
stage would have foated the Island
fair grounds and the ice would have
crushed the buildings and stalls like
paper. The lower end OF the city. a
portion OF Benwood and Moundsvfile
would have been flooded and the
dwellings and business houses torn
down. Probably the greatest damage
done by the near-nood was I'm the
Pittsburgh district. where the Monon-
gahelia and Allegheny empty into the
Ohio. Running bank full. the cakes
snapped a number OF boats loose and
they were carried 70 the bottom.
while several buildings along the
river front were wrecked.
Spectacular Sight
Hundreds and hundreds Of Wheel
ingites gathered at the river fr0nt

Incidentally the club heard the
story OF road hog who met some Of

serted that the road-hog was on his
way 10 attend the meeting of the Nir-

held here, and did not care who took
to the side Of the road when he came
rushing by. Some, ir Is said almost
took TO the woods, and one or two got
stuck in the bitches along the side OF
the highway
Once the roadhog stopped to aid
a machine that he had forced into
ditch, and told the driver that he
didn't know how to drive q car any
how, and shouldn't be allowe,, to run
an automobile on the highway. OF
course this assumption OF importance
and superiority was particularly altas-
the road to the reckless driver. He
