BRIDGE SUFFERS
SLIGHT DAMAGE
FOURTEENTH SPAN OF MAYO
BRIDGE is TORN AWAY BY
DRIFTWOOD.

Damage approximately estimated at
500 was done to the new Mayo bridge
yesterday afternoon when several piles
being used in the construction of the
fourteenth span was torn away by a
mass of driftwood.
The bridge has suffered considerable
damage by the recent freshets in the
river. This is the second time this
spring that a span was torn COM
pletely away. None of the piles es-
capped down the river, however, all of
them being caught by force of work
men stationed down the eyer by /. j.
Smith.
Although the river is steadily ris
ing it Is expected to reach its maxi
mum height by noon today At 10
o'clock last night the river had risen
ten feet. The usual amount of water
rose in Lester street Fulton. but no
damage was done to any of the prop
erty.
The height of the water was not so
great as to prevent the Old Dominion
Steamship Company's boats from MAX
ing their regular trips between this
city and Norfolk Although the water
/ was about two feet deep in the com
pany's freight sheds, but a warning
from the weather bureau gave them
ample time to prevent any OF the
goods from destruction.
