CARRIED AWAY BY ICE T H E H E E A W A K E I B R I H G E N E A R M I E - EO R H SXTCOTMBS TO T H E ; E E 0 0 I > .

The bridge over the Delaware river near Milford was carried away by the flood and ice, yesterday afternoon. It had seemed as though the heavy flood would carry all the ice in the Delaware away without any serious gorges forming, but in the afternoon the ice dammed near the farm of Mrs. VanGorden, about half way between Milford and Dingman’s Ferry. This flooded the fiats hack for several miles, but the dam soon broke and let out the water and ice. Later a dam formed at the head of Brink’s island, one mile below the Mil ford bridge. This is what caused so much damage at Milford. The water rapidly backed and soon covered the flats for three or four miles this side of Milford. At the latter place it rose to an unprece dented bight, flooding the flat and build ings at the mouth o f theSawkill stream, and in front of the grist-mill was as high as a horse’s hack. It came nearly to the first floor o f this mill, the spoke factory was flooded with about four feet o f water, and it backed up on the flats along the river so that the Shimer barn was half buried, and near Peter Zahn’s half-way house about one foot of water was over the highway, and cakes of ice are yet to be found lying along the road which the floods left. On the road crossing the Delaware river flats, on the north side of the Milford bridge, are two houses occupied bv farmer John Dedfiek aud one Kertz Both of these houses were flooded, and the fami lies forced to seek shelter with near neighbors. They also had to take their stock to higher ground. Mr. Detrick’s peach orchard was fearfully racked by the ice moving back and forth, and it is said to have been utterly destroyed. Vf’hile all this was taking place, the water was raising rapidly in the Delaware. At 4 o’clock a break was made in the im mense dam, aud when the ice moved it carried the I'few Jersey side of the bridge, and also tore down the pier at that point. This was close to the toll-house. A few moments later two or three big cakes of ice came from Victor Quick’s farm and these completed the destruction of the bridge, carrying away the remaining sections, which fell with a fearful crash into the eddying aud seething flood, and were car ried down the stream. The water fell very rapidly, after this. Tae Milford bridge was owned by a stock company, with Brit. Westbrook as gate keeper. A few momenta before it was carried away, Mr. Detnck crossed over the structure. The damage caused by the loss of the bridge is estimated at $10,000. The bridge was an old, ricketty in January, 1840 or 41 a briage was carried away at this point by high water. A few moments before it went it was crossed by Thomas Doty, who was driv ing with his sleigh from Wayne county to his home m Wantage, N. J. That was a covered bridge. ______ EU B B IC * A U C T IO N .

I A horrible accidental shooting affair took place at Westbrookville yesterday ' afternoon,illustrating once more the stupid, [criminal folly of aiming guns at other people, supposing them to be unloaded, Calvin H. Skinner, a young man, aged about 19, while in his own house was handling an old gun, which he supposed was empty- Austin Clark, a lad of about 15, a eon of Elisha Clark was, in the room with him. Thinking to have a little fun, he cocked the old gun, aimed it at young Clark’s head and pulled the trigger. To his horror, a discharge was heard and Clark fell to the fl^or, dead in an instant The whole charge struck in the left eye, blowing out that side of his head. The boys have always been warm friends and are distantly related, their fathers be ing cousins. Skinuer is a son*of James Saiuner of that place, Clark's funeral will be held on Sunday at 2 p. m. in the school house. The mother of Skinner, who was in the room and saw the shooting, is greatly pros trated and lies in a critical condition. Much sorrow is manifested in the com munity over the sad event.

Cloud, Erie Supeilntendent of Motive Power, a test was made of a “ traction increaser ” for locomotives, on the Susquehanna di vision, a few days ago. The device is automatic, and entirely out from under the control of the engineer and is brought into use in nroportion to the pull of the locomotive. As the engine increases in speed, or completes the ascent of a grade, it is brought less into operation, and when the engine is running fast or on the more level portions of the road, very little weight is transferred. It almost entirely does away with the use o f the sand. The Su'^quehanna Transcript says that only one tank of sand was used in making two trips, one from Susquehanna to El mira anti return, the other to Hornells- ville and return, a total distance of 440 miles. While on said trips the engine drew nearly 10 per cent, additional load from regular trains. The locomotive to which the device is applied is a consolidation, No. 604 (an engine with eight drivers), weight, 59 tons. The device is the Craven Automatic Traction Drawbar. This class of engines, of which they have 190, are badly equalized, having 9,500 pounds more weight on the two front pairs of drivers than on the two back pairs. This appliance enables the locomotive to borrow weight from the tender, to hold it down to the track in proportion to its pull, and return it again proportionally as the pull is over. H E R O E S O F T H E T H R O T T B E . The courage of the man at the throttle in these trying times is worthy of more than a passing notice. Nearly every great line of railroad has fatalities to engineers, firemen and train hands, caused by the attempts to break through the enormous snow drifts. To stand in a cab of a loco motive running at full speed into au al most immovable compact of snow is to risk everything. Death by crushing or oy scalding faces all these brave men when they leave their homes .—Hartford Post. W A N T S TO H I D E T H E W R O N G .

It contained a four-column article, headed in the follow ing sensational words: “ Revealed 1 A Strange Story about the Reputable Dr, Wickham. Hyde aud Jekyll Again, The Revelations of a Later Lecocq made To- Day. An Alleged Conspiracy. A Re putable Physician Said to bo in Collusion with a Noted Burglar, A Convict Once Himself. The Mystery Surrounding the Robbery of a Port J ervis Mansion.” Following these startling headlines is one of the worst newspaper “ fakes ” or, more plainly, lies, tiiat has ever disgraced a metropolitan journal. The story, In brief, is that Dr. Wickbam served a term in Sing Sing for malpractice, that he there made the acquaintance of this criminal North or Norton, and put up a job with aim to have hia own housn robbed ; that hisi wife IS the daughter of a well-known resident of New York city; that the grand jury of Orange county refused to in lict North or Norton for robbing Dr, Wickham’s residence, and that he was consequently discharged, and then re- arrested by the Brooklyn authorities; that Detective Roche came to Port Jervis, registered at the Delaware House as Scott, and loafed around some days, after the robbery had been discovered, in the evening visiting Dr. Wickham’s resi dence and having his own time to look around the premises (though for what purpose is not made apparent), and that while thus searching, he, with a lighted match, stumbled over au open keg of powder in the cellar, surrounded by old papers and rags; and that the Doctor is still in Florida and hi.s wife in New York. That every one of these allegations is totally false, our people well know, or be lieve to be so. He was never in Sing Sing, and was never charged with mal practice ; his wife is a member of a well- known and reputable Ludlum family who have always lived near Deckertown, N. J.;t.he Grand Jury of this county has had no opportunity of acting on Norton’s case, because it has not sat since it came to the surface,» nd will not sit until April; Nor ton has not been discharged, but was re manded to the custody of the Kings county authorities as already stated, for trial for several heavy burglaries there; Detective Roche was probably not in Port Jervis at all, at least there has been but one person registered as Scott at the Delaware House since February 19th, and that was a Middletown gentleman well known at the Delaware House ; he couldl not have entered the residence of Dr, Wickham, as ne stated, since the bur glary was discovered, for the reason that the house has since been under constan t surveillance; and the keg of powder was discovered in Dr. Wickham’s office on the first floor, by officer Ganley of this place, and one or two others who were with him when the robbery was first discovered, no stranger being of the number; the keg was not opened; and the Doctor is in Port Jervis and has been since he first came here, while his wife is sick at a relative’s in Passaic, N. J. These statements, in brief, cover both sides of the case —the SurHs “ fake,\ and the lacts. The story seems to have emanated from the too fertile brain of detective Roche, who is anxious to air himself and be pro claimed a keen official. Office Martin of this place, who had entire charge of the case and arrested North, says the story is a tissue of falsehood.s, and he does not believe that Roche was in town at all; indeed, had he been, he would have known him. The New York World to-day sent Mr. Curtis, a reporter of that paper, to this place, to investigate the story. Last evening the Herald telegraphed here to learn particulars of the same. On a late train, last night, 500 extra copies of the Sun were sent to this place, containing the story in full. BU K G B A K N O R T O N IN D I C T E D .

Among the indictments found yesterday by the Kings county Grand Jury were two charging the notorious burglar, “ Piggy” Norton, with burglary. The New York Press and the Herald to day say that neither o f the detectives at tach the slightest credence to Norton’s charges sgaiiist Dr. Wickham. As farther evidence that “ Piggy” in romancing, it is declared by the detectives that when he was in Trenton prison under a twenty years’ sentence lor burglary and arson, he told the same sort of yam—that the man whose house he robbed and then burned had hired him to do the job. In fact, one of this notorious criminal’s methods o f trying to evade the penalty for his own crimes seems to be that of trying to besmirch the character of the person he has wronged. It is a most despicable method, it is true, but the evidence is ac cumulating that such is the fact. Who for a moment, can hesitate which story to believe, Norton’s or Dr. Wickham’s ?

In dig ging the frozen ground it is necessary to blast It loose. On the morning of town meeting Powell built a bonfire and was thawing out a dynamite stick, which took fire ami Powell tried to throw it out of the pit. It fell back and he threw on some earth to extinguish it, as he did not want it to blaze up and frighteu the horses. An Italian jumped on the cartridge to help put It out and it exploded, tearing the shoe from his foot, and injuring his leg. Powell was thrown against the side of the cut by the force of the explosion, and another Italian had his face cut with flying stones. The Italians are at work again an d Powell has recovered from the shock. The cartridge was only half thawed out or there would have been a terrible explo sion, causing the death of all in the immediate vicinity. It was a narrow escape tor the men as it was.

Large numbers were suffocated and trampled upon. Many ou reaching the street were so seriously injured that they vomited blood. Nearly all the victims were spsciators. The actors escaped in their theatrical costumes. Many in the theatre, finding themselves unable to reach the doors, jumped from the windows. Some corpses were found in the stage boxes.

Hugh Edward McKenisie was married Thursday nigh*t, at New Brunswick, N. J. He sticks to the story that he has a fortune coming to him, and states that he left the letter he received from a London lawyer at the British Consul’s in New York on Tuesday. The latter yesterday denied this. Johnson, the bride’s father, states he read the letters, and there is no doubt that McKenzie had them, though they may be forgeriea McKenzie was offered his fare and a sum of money to go to New York Thursday and show the papers, but he stated he would have some lesponsible man see them after the wedding and vouch for their authenticity. His storyis not be lieved, though he now supplements it by stating that Gordon (his ch-im) is the son of Dr. Emile Gordon o f Edinburg. Johnson is poor. He stated that he was willing his daughter should many Mc Kenzie, for if he had no money he could help work on the farm. Emma is infatfl- ated with the man. Efforts to put off marriage until McKenzie’s statement could be proved true were unavailing. McKenzie and Miss Johnson were mar ried Thursday night at the hc.use of officer Allen, a cousin of the bride’s father, in the presence o f about twenty people. A telegraph operatorplayed a wedding march and Dr. McKnight, a Presbyterian minis ter, united the cjuple.
