LISBON, Y. H., Feb. 26.-Henry l..
Whitcher and three other men were
killed and 10 others badly injured in
rush Of ice and water in the Am
mCnoosuc river Yesterday.
The accident occurred while n wreck
ing crew was trying to remove ice from
the flooded track of the White Noun
tain division of the Boston & Maine
in the meadows mile above this
town.
Whitcher was foreman of the crew.
The other three were foreigners and
their names are not known. The bod

So sudden was the rush of water
that none of the 25 men in the wreck.

torrent. Nearly all of them lost then
footing. Some near an embankmenj
managed to scramble to points of safe

senger were seriously injured and nu-
merous other passengers were more or
less cut and bruised. Conductor Dan
Chandler is in a critical condition and
unconscious, ana it is thought that
there may be a fracture at the base OF
his skull. There were about 80 pas
sengers aboard the train
At the point where the accident hap
pened the track runs close to Sugar
river. Water flowed over the track
yesterday, but at l clock this morn

was thought to be safe for traffic The
train due 70 leave here for Concord ut

made up Of the locomotive and four
cars, a milk car, baggage car, passen-
ger car and smoker.
After the locomotive and milk car
had gotten past the danger point tne
track and roadbed collapsed and the
passenger car went into the river, but
the couplings held so it was not en-
tirelv submerged. One end went under
water and the other end went partly
under, but the windows in this end re
manned above the water line and

BERLIN. Feb. 26. Ills a. m.-Three

GREENFIELD, Mass. Feb. 26.-The
ice jam at Buckland, which flooded both
tracks on the Fitchburg railroad and
stopped all through traffic yesterday, was
still intact at dawn today.
a crew of 300 men was engaged in
dynamiting the ice, The jam was at
~cott's bridge over the Deerfield river,
against which great quantity Of loose ice
lodged yesterday, damming the water
until the tracks were flooded to Il depth
of several feet. 1t was hoped traffic would
be resumed before night,

mile above the Connecticut river bridge
At 1.05 all Of the left wing Of the grand
stand at Island park was a mass of ruins
and the high tension wires across the riv
er went down amid flash of electricity.
The huge cakes Of ice forced on by the
mighty rush of the water were too much
for cement piers and wood above to stand.
The loss there will be very heavy.
At first as the masses of ice began
to pile up and hit the highway bridge
over the Connecticut between Brattle-
horo ami Island park there were grave
fears that the bridg. would not stand
the strain, but fortunately then the
ice did not jam there although for Il
| long distance the noise of the cakes
smashing against the iron work could
| be heard. 1t sounded like bridgemen
at work.
Anxious Over Railroad Bridge.
The railroad men were anxious at ,
o clock about the big Boston & Maine
railroad bridge, but the ice jam had
not reached the bridge ut that time
! Although at that time there was clear
water above the bridge for a distance
OF 100 yards or more and clear water
below it it seemed that it would be
only a short time before the ice across
the river would fail to hold the big
jam, and when that time came they
feared for the railroad bridge. The

CONNECTICUT RIVER ICE
JAM TEARS ACROSS ISLAND
WRECKING PARK PROPERTY

the breaking of others in the West
river. in spite of the colder tempera-
turc and the cessation Of the rain,
have created flood conditions along the
West and Connecticut rivers that have
practically put an end to railroad traf-
tic temporarily and done a lot of dam
age to property owners. The telephone
and telegraph companies have suffered
also for where the poles were set
along the river they have been snapped
like pipe stems by the huge cakes Of
ice
The track of the West river branch
about opposite the place of c. Z.
Adams for d distance of nearly half a
mile is completely covered with a huge
mass OF ice cakes, some Of them as big
as half a freight ear. The rush of
this tremendous mass of ice has broIl-
en- the telegraph poles short off and
the telegraph service is out Of com
mission. At the sharp bend in the
river near this point there is a wall
of ice estimated 10 be % feet in
| height. The water in the river which
had been held back by the jams
which broke late yesterday afternoon
rushed on with the result that the ice
was rushed to the shores and piled
up by the force of the current.
The lower Dummerston road wa.
piled high with ice cakes this morning
in some places the mass being as higl
as Is feet. Road Commissioner War
rem L. Walker had a gang of 10 mer
working there this morning and hoped
to get hole through by tonight.
At Grouts, station on the Bosto1
& Maine between East Putney an,
Westminster, a big ice jam last even
ing forced the water to depth O
four feet over the tracks Of the Bostoi
& Maine railroad and all traffic from
/ the north was sent around by way O
Keene and South Vernon.
Water Rising at Dam.
Even though all of the big gates a
the dam were open and had been fo
over 81 hours there was seven an,
fve-tenths feet of water rushing owe
1.-The top of the dam az 10 clock thi
morning and at y clock this quan
tity had increased to eight and SIX
tenths feet. This is by no means
record for a few years ago during tn
, big flood over u feet was pourin
, over the dam. But today there was tn
r heavy ice cakes and tree trunks
, addition and always the danger of tn
) ice iamming and causing tremendor
, damage by backing up the water.

the inhabitants Thursday night.
Few outside of the village realized
the amount of damage being wrought
in this little settlement by the Pas
sumpsic on it's annual rampage. The
river had been giving signs all day
that the heavy rain and continued
thaw would result in the breaking up
of the ice, but nothing approaching
the damage done was anticipated.
Several jams occurred below the dam
during the day but the stream had
forced a passage through each time
and at supper time the inhabitants
had gone to their homes satisfied
that the worst was over.
Started at Pierce's Mills.
1t proved to be only a beginning.
About 6 o'clock the jam which had
been holding above Pierce's mill
loosened and came tearing down
stream taking out the bulk head of
the saw mill, a large part of the
fume of the leather board plant and
several logs off the top the dam.
With a roar which could be heard

for a great distance, this mass OF
ice and wreckage moved toward the
Center. The Bacon bridge barely
checked it and the structure was
lifted from it's moorings as lightly as
a cheese box, giving Asa Howard and
RAYMOND Brooks hardly time to re-
move two ladders from the inside OF
the bridge and run to Mr.. How
ards home about 100 feet away
where they were interned for the
night.
Water Rose Rapidly.
An idea of how quickly the flood
appeared is illustrated by Harry
Carr's experience. He was going to
feed the live stock in his barn and
when he started the water was ankle
deep, but by the time he reached the
barn it was up to his waist. He had
time to release four COWS and his
horse. The cows were driven to
manure heap in the rear of the barn
and on this slight elevation they
stayed until morning, escaping

sent out by telephone until the tele-
phone wires went out and then in
state bordering on frenzy the people
were forced to endure the sound of
water rushing through the lower
floors of their dwellings and the con-
stant crashing of ice against the
buildings until morning. In several
instances, where it was possible to
launch a boat, people were taken
from the houses in this manner.
Clinton Jay, Walter Wheeler, Charles
Brooks, Arthur Olcott and several
others manned the boats and did
valiant work. In some instances the
boat was rowed directly into the
house. At the old hotel Mrs. East
man and daughter were met in the
front hall by a boat and were taken
to Arthur Olcott's for the night. Mrs.
Floyd Lee and two children were

stairs room. The water nearly
reached the ceiling of the lower
rooms.
Mr.. Howard says that the bridge
was carried down stream intact for
several hundred feet and then be-
gan to turn, threatening to crash in
to the rear of A. M. Stones house.
1t shifted, however, and was carried
down over the dam, where the ice
battered it to pieces. 1t is now
lodged directly across the river op-
posite Farnham's store. The bridge
proved an effectual barrier for the
ice and water and soon the river was
jammed full as far north as Fred
Hills on the Lyndonville road. The
water forced from it's channel into
the highway, flooded all the houses
north of the electric station and the
inmates, caught unawares, were
forced to the second floors to pass
the. night.
