STAMFORD

i The wdndes and rain. storm played havoc in town yesterday, limbs or trees being blown about, fences blown down and things in general upset. In some places, limbs were blown across the sidewalk where people walking about at night stumbled over them Along the river, several small boats were washed ashore having lost -thear mooring and came near being fWHasheo away Owing to a waShout some where along the New Haven line, the trolIeys were unable to run on that line the greater part of the afternoon ad1d evening Where the brook runs under Barna1an avenue near King street was overhowed, making it a1- most impossible to pass at that point
 In spite of the severe wind and rain, a great many people waiked over 10 Washington bridge expecting that the ice would break and an ice jam would start The ice has in fact started to break all along the banks Of the r1Ver and it is very probable that 1t Will break all over very soon It Is feared so more and more and there is great danger that the Washington bridge may be swept away or suffer seriously from an ice jam similar to lhe one several years ago. There was much talk of dynamiting the river, but there seemed to be nothing to the runor. at 
 present time
