H ixon Tan E tten and Another W h ile in a Boat—Tlie Eoss of the Bridge a Public Calamity, M iufoed , March 23d.—^Tlie much-feared and dreaded event lias at last taken place, and th e bridge between M ilford and M o n tague is gone. The Delaware had been obstructed by ice packed and wedged opposite what is known as “ Cave Bank,” between Milford and Dingman’s. The river consequently overflowed its banks from that point back ward, for several miles. The river op posite Milford had spread a mile and a quarter across and was filled with broken i38. While this preseated quite a scene, the water was constantly rising so that it at last reached a point somewhat above that attained in the famous flood of 1816. Buildings near Klaer’s bub factory, and the factory itself, were filled up with ssveral feet of water. To cross from the main road to Klaer’s bridge it was necessary to use a boat. Your c respondent went over in this way and thence with ethers hastened toward the Milford and Montague bridge. But the water had risen over the road in that di rection so that it was impossible to get beyond the Heller farm. From the'higher parts o f that farm the scene was fearfuL A. wide waste of water and ice appeared, covering farm land, peach and apple or chards, and burying fences out of eight. The water had begun to rise at about 11 o'clock a. m. and continued rising until 3 o’clock p. m. At that time the cry was hea-d “ She is moving,” and sure enough, the great mass o f ice was actually in motion. The obstruction at Cave Bank had given way. The motion, sluggish at first, soon increased to railroad speed. The previous stillness gave the channel by contrast a most impressive effect. With the starting of the river, the water on the farms took part in the motion, so that in an incredibly short time the sub merged roads came into view again, and people pressed down toward the bridge, some went in conveyances, others waded, but soon all were there. The scene was impressive indeed. The river was now bearing its great burden o f ice towards the sea. The sur face of the river was about four feet from the roadbed of the bridge. Previously and only minutes before, the river was so high that the ice on its surface forced the planks up from parts o f the bridge so as to render crossing with teams unsafe. Be sides this the pressure of the rising mass of ice had so far lifted the bridge from its bed, as to slacken the wire cables by which the bridge was in part supported. But when the river went down the bridge set tled back into position again. It was now thought that the chief dan ger was past. Several stood upon the bridge, the writer among the number, and looked down upon the black waters and the snow and ice, all moving on with the rapid and resistless current. Sometimes the ice would come down in narrow masses so that it could all pass between the piers and buttresses without touching. Again it would spread across the rivei, and when it passed under the bridge the ice would divide at the piers, la thus dividing the ice seemed uncertain as to which side of the pier it should take. In the fearful rush some great cakes would climb up on the face o f the pier as if re solved to force a way over the bridge it- seif. Then, as if exhausted they would sink aw^y into the seething waters be neath them and go down with the swirling current. The waters soon sank to a point about four feet from the roadbed of the bridge, and yet the great masses of ice would lift their heads high enough to touch the beams. Collision decapitated the icebergs in an instant. It was a grand sight, and the writer would have tarried longer to look on, but had to take advantage of a conveyance which had to bring him back to the high road running through Heller’s farm. He hirdly alighted from the buckboard be fore the cry arose. “ The bridge is gone This catastrophe was brought about by an. immense and solid floe which streched half way across the river. This mass was observed by people standing on the banks near the Bluff House, and some among the number exclaimed, “ That will fetch the bridge.” Their prophesy proved too true. This mass of ice advanced with steadiness and great swiftness. It was too wide to pass between the piers. Its centre struck the pier next the Jersey shore. The pier did not yield at first but held firmly, while the ice for a time divided upea it, but at last it gave way. The up per third o f the pier was swept from the part below, and with it went the bridge, first from that point, and then all the way to either end. The whole bridge went over in lees than ten seconds. Its plunge was accompanied with a heavy groan, and as it struck the river the ice laid hold of it as coveted prey, and crunched it as a wild beast de vouring its victim. In less than two min utes the bridge was reduced to fragments, and presently disappeared as though it had never been. Nothing remained but the piers and the abutments, and the two wire cables still fast to their m o iings stretched along down the shore on each side o f the river. How much, o f the cables remain cannot yet be told, as a part lies under the water. When the spectators on the bridge saw the flood coming they hastened to the land. The occupants o f the toll-house left and fled to the ac joining hill. All were afraid that if the bridge should go, the strain upon the cables would be such that they might snap asunder and fly back with deadly recoil. The force of the ice and current must have been equal to hundreds of tons. Yet despite the ice and the velicity of the river, it is probable that the bridge would be still secure on its foundation had it not been for a pal pable defect in the stone piers. About six feet from their top had been inserted, lengthwise, beams, on either side one for the reception o f braces for the support of the timbers above. Where these beams were there should have been solid masonry, but as it was, the beams w'ere not only unsuitable for such a place, but these had become decayed and so they almost in vited destruction. This defect was pointed out some time ago, but it was permitted to pass without serious attention. The pier that yielded to the ice gave way just at this weak point. A ll the masonry above it was instantly swept away. At 11 o’clock to-day the river had fallen some ten or fifteen feet. It left great masses of broken ice on either bank, and overtheex.ensive Jersey flats. Some of these masses are fifteen feet high. A great chasm now presents itself where the bridge stood. The bridge must have been a thousand feet long. Its destruction is a p ublic calamity. It breakes up, for a time at least,an important route of travel. People now realize its value as never be- The bridge was built in 1870. Its cost was about $13,000, The cost would have been greater but for the piers which re mained o f the former bridge. The direc tors are seven in number,viz : John Ded- rick, President ; William Mitchell, Treas urer ; Allen Everett, Daniel Everett, John Pinchot, J. H. YanBtten, and George Armstrong. The ma.ter of rebuilding will be considered at the next monthly meeting o f the company, which will be the first Monday evening of April. The water of the river rose to two feet in the basement of Mr. John Dedrick's house standing on the river bank, and four feet in the house of Mr, Kurtz. The stock o f both these men was taken to Mr. James Heller’s for safety. The nearest approach to casualty that we have heard of was in the case o f Jacob Klaer and J. H. VanEfcten. They were sailing about in a boat near the west end of the bridge when the obstruction in the river gave way. They soon began to feel the force o f the current which presently swept them across the road and through the fence into John Dedrick’s peach or chard. The heavy cakes of ice were pressing around them, and they resembled for a while adventurers in polar seas. Unable to arrest the boat with oars or poles, they laid hold o f a peach tree and there tarried until the force of the current had abated. At last the boat was pushed back to the road, and from the boat one of the party stept onto a buckboard that was passing near and so came safe to land. A ferry boat or large scow will probably be put on the river as soon as the freshets are over and communication bo resumed between the opposite shores. —Pecuniary soap is very effective in political campaign, and Tulip soap Is just as effective in washing day campaigns, —A bargain just received.

D. W ickham of Port Jervis, had engaged him to rob and blow up the Doctor’s house with gunpowder, was arraigned before Judge Moore, in the Brooklyn Court of Sessions, Friday. He pleaded not guilty to two indictments for burglary and larceny in Brooklyn. One of the indictments charged him with entering the residence of John Wood oni January 6. and stealing one coat and one wrap. The other indictment charged him with breaking into the house of George E. Henderson, on November 16, 1887, and stealing a watch. “ Piggy\ was sent back to the “ pen\ and thence conveyed to Raymond street jail, His real name is Edward North, and he has had an extensive acquaintance with prison keepers. On April 17, 1873, he was indicted in Brooklyn for burglary, and Judge Moore sent him to Sing Sing for twenty years. In speaking of this Judge Moore said yesterday that at the time a great many burglaries bad been committed in Brooklyn,and as North, alias Hannon, was a noted burglar, he ira- posed upon him as severe a sentence as the law allowed. The rules of Sing Sing gave him six years’ commution. He is called “ Piggy,” because of his nose, which is short and turned up. He is about flfty-six years old, rather tall and very pale. After the court had assigned counsel to defend him he was asked by a Herald re porter if he had anything to say. “ Not a word,” he answered senten- tiously. After a pause he added, “ I have had enough of newspaper notoriety.\ PEBSONAB. —The late Ernest Beck o f Milford, Pa., had a life insurance of $7,000. —Mr. Charles H.

He would have been 73 years of age in November. The direct cause of death was failure of the heart’s action. The Chief Justice will be buried in Toledo. He was the seventh Chief Justice of the United States, appointed by President Grant in 1874, partly because of his services before the Tribunal of Ar bitration at Geneva, where, with his as sociates, William M ., Evarls and Caleb Cushing, he obtained for the United States an award of .$15,500,000 in gold. The Chief Justice was born in Lyme, Conn., November 29tb, 1816. When 17 years of age he entered Yale College and graduated with honors in the class of ’§7. After being admitted to the bar he prac ticed law In Toledo, was a member of the State Legislature in 1849, was a member of the Ohio State Constitutional Conven- tion and refused many offers of political preferment. He declined to serve on the Electoral Commission. FBOWEKS AND EUNEBAB DESIG NS.

For a great number of years Tom Quick has been a household word along the Delaware river in this vicinity. His ex ploits have been told and retold around the family hearth by aged grandsires, un til everybody has become more or less fa miliar with, his history. Tom used to hide the guns of his murdered Indian victims in the woods, and this accounts no doubt for the large number of “ Tom Quick” rifles in existence. The play of Tom Quick is founded upon these historical reminiscences, traditions and legends, and will be produced Thursday the 39th of March. H E MET A IVIBD CAT.

UNITED AFTER HABF A CENTURY OP SEPARATION AND SEARCH. The Romance of Former Orange Countv People that Began w ith the SemlUOle W ar—Each B elieving the Otlxer Dead. W ealth and Happiness Now. A Chicago dispatch o f Friday says that George B. Ryerson, one of the wealthy men of that city, is happy to-day because he has with him a daughter whom he be* lieved to be dead. The story has special interest for Eastern people because it em braces characters who have figured in Paterson, N. J., and Newburg in this couoty. Nearly fifty years ago Mr. Ryerson left his wife and daughter in PAterson and went to Florida, enlisting as a soldier in the Seminole war. He was wounded and lor many months he was at the point of death, without friends or money. It was a loBg time before he reached home. Then he learned that his wife, believing him dead, had moved away. No one could tell where she had gone. After a long, fruitless search, Mr. Ryer son went to Mexico, remaining there many years. He accumulated considerable pro perty, and then moved to California. His brother Martin Ryerson, one of the old settlers of Chicago and also a wealthy man, induced him, six years ago, to leave California and reside in Chicago. Recently Mr. Ryerson succeeded in trac ing his only child. She is a Mrs. Shatter and resides in Newburg. In response to a telegram she went to Chicago, arriv ing late Thursday night. Her mother died long ago, and until last week she had not the faintest suspicion that her father was alive. Mr. Ryerson, although 83 years of age, is hale and hearty. He is living with relatives in Chicago. BBIZZARD NOTJ^ IN SUSSEX- Houges Unroofed, Chimneys Blow n Over, and Cattle and Sheep Frozen.

The Hoffman House in Coleville was snowed in up to the second-story, and the boys m that end of the town were compelled to go dry for a time. The large smoke stack at the spoke factory aud a part of the roof of the same build ing blew down. The roof also blew off the barn of Ben Bross. Two cows be longing to John Van Sickle were frozen to death. A barn belonging to Ed. Smith blew down, and, it is said, hurt several cows. A granary on the farm of the late Evi O.

An accident occurred at Middletown to day, resulting in the death of an old man named Doland and the serious injury of his daughter.
