WEST RIVER ON RAMPAGE ICE TEARS DOWN ONE BRIDGE AND PORTION OP DAM. Daman Will Amount to Mor Than $50,000 Part of th Gaslight Com pany's West Dummsrston Power Hous Destroyed.

Never ha the West river cleared Itwlf in a more spectacular manner and never ha H succeeded In working- such havoc. It I afe to estimate that the damage will amount to Stifl.OHO. Several !Knple alone; the line f the Hood narrowly escaped Inir their live but no one was injured. The warm weather and rain of the luttpr part of last week had It effect jon the small stream which feed West I river at it upper portion and by Krl Iday nltrht conditions became alarm ling. Diirinir the nlpht the ice nt the 'upper end of the river beitan to break up and start down stream, nnd at 8 o'clock Saturday morning; it hud 'formed In an Immense" Jam nt Towns hend. flooding: nil the mendow In tha 'section and covering; them with larpe Ice .cake. Very Boon, however, th j force of the rising; water started th Jam and It began to move dow ''treuni. slowly at first but with In j creasing; speed a It gained In weight and momentum. A few minutes be ; fore noon the employes of the power station at the gaslight company dam !a snort aistance nnnve west uum merstou saw a solid wsll of Ice nearly , 20 feet high bearing swiftly down 'upon them. They had Just begun ar ! rangement for dynamiting the Ice j above the dam and In a minute or two (would have been at work. They hard 'lv had time to reach a place of safety i when the ice-wall reached the still ; water on which- the Ice lay to a depth i In place of nearly four feet. Immense cake weighing several tons were hurled high In air as if they hnd been chip nnd In a econd the entire mass van pouring over the dam, Jpplng up the woodwork nnd grinding tne tim bers to ntoms a If they were tooth picks. Charles II. Thompson, who was superintending the work of dynamit ing the river, ran to the power house a oon a he aw the loe-wall com ing and telephoned the news to Brat tleboro. Although the operation wa the work of but a few econds the Ice had already begun falling over the dam before he had finished. He barely reached the bank above when the power house wa surrounded by Im mense cukes. -The north and east sides of the building were torn off and the switchboard carried away but none of the machinery was damaged. Although of unusual strength the woodwork of the dam was utterly un nble to withstand the force of the Ice, and between eight snd fifteen feet was torn off the dam Its ntlre width. Much of the timber that was not washed away, was so badly splintered that it will all have to be taken out, nnd It Is probable that the work of repnlrlng the structure will take sev eral months. It seems almost mirac ulous that the power house was not destroyed with Its entire contents and It probably would have been had It not been for the protection It re ceived from the masonry on the south side of the dam. If the woodwork had not given way there I no doubt that the power house would have LmmmerNlon, having been delayed by an Ire Jam at Cobb bridge, Jamaica. The puHNeiigct', mull nnd express from Ihl train were transferred from West Inimmerston to the quarry by teams anil brought to llrattlcboro on the seclal, reaching here ut 4 o'clock. A number of Central Vermont of ficials came to lirattli'boro Sunday and the work of putting In u tem porary trestle was at once begun. A third rail has been laid from the quarry to the edge of the bridge, thus making a bniiid gauge truck to that point, und hi prem-nt u force of about 1 5 melt are at work under the super- vIhIoii of Siii'iliilenclunt E.

The Connecticut river rose rapidly lam Thursday nnd r'riday under the liilluence of the warm weather, but the unprecedented rise which wa nn tlclpated before the snow and Ice be gan to melt has failed to materialize yet. The river reached Its highest point Saturday evening but that was several feet short of high-water mark. It does not look now as If there would be a freshet of any magnitude ul- hough there Is still a iiuantitv of snow and Ice in the woods. KILLED IN THE HOLY LAND. Daughter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. R. L 8. Paton Dead as Result of Fall. Word was received by cable via Damascus, Sunday, from Professor LewtB I'uton of the Hartford Theologi cal seminary that his wife, Survia Da vison i'aton, had died as a result of a fall from a horse. They had planned to leave Jerusalem on March 18 for a trip east of the Jordan and the ac cident probably occurred last week Monday or Tuesday while on this tour. Particulars of the accident are al together lacking at present, but an ad ditional distress of the sad affair was occasioned by the delay of the cable message somewhere In transmission. As a result of this the first news came to the family of Mrs. Paton In Hart ford, Ct., In a vague and peculiarly harrowing manner. They received last week Wednesday a message from Prof. Fa ton s sister, Miss Julia Paton. for' merly teacher In the Brattleboro High school and now stationed at Constan tinople, sending her deepest sympathy and saying she would join her brother at once. Krom then until Sunday morning nothing was known, as to what had happened, although efforts were mnde in various directions. It was only certain that something grievous had occurred. Last May Professor and Mrs. Paton sailed for Syria, where Professor Pa ton has been the director of the Am erican School for Oriental Study and ttesearcn in .Palestine, located at Je rusalem. They were In northern Syria until October, when they settled at Jerusalem for the school year. Last January they went to Egypt to meet Mr. K. Lu . paton of this town. mother of Professor Paton in whose company their lltUe daughter, 8uvla t.anu e. returned to America, reaching Maniora f eDruary 23. - Mrs. Paton leaves a husband, daughter and mother.
