H.) iron bridge that cr s the Connecticut viver from Brattleboro to Island park was carried out about 10 o'clock last ovening by the heaviest ice jam that Brattleboro has experienced since a ; wooden ‘bridge, in the same location, | was carried out several years ago. | Cornelinus Flannagan, 70, better known to .Brattleboro people as “Conn,” was caught on the bridge and went down with it. He had lived on the island alone for many years {and was a well-known character. He had just been to the restaurant and on arriving at the bridge, stated he thought the water was going down and started for home across the bridge. When about half way across he turned and started back for the Brattleboro side. People seeing him shouted a warning to hurry, but the bridge was swept away before he could reach land. The bridge which was long was constructed about ago and could not be repl for less than $125,000. While too early to tell just what will done about replacing it, is is under- stood the new bridge will be placed in a different location River Rises cet in Four Hours. | The river started lo rise about 7 o'clock last night and rose 22 feet in four hours. The ice had been break- ing up for several days and it is thought that the huge jam came from Putney, a point 10 miles up the river. At 9 o'clock it was seen the river was still rising, but those visit- END.OF EIGHT YEARS MISERY Used Lydia E.

With- few hours the water flowing over .the dam here has risen from 9 1-2 feet to 13 feet and is still rising. No great damage has been report- ed as vet, although hundreds of acres of ‘pasture land have been flooded ! and several farmhouses are su rounded with water and the farmers have been forced to remove their stock to places of safety If the wa- ter rises a few feet more it will cov- er the tracks of the Rutland railroad near here.

Springtield, Mass., March rapidly rising Connecticut river, which reached the 17-foot mark on the gauge at the old toll bridge last night, furnished attraction fora large number of Sunday pedestrians who lined the rail of the south side of the bridge to view the cakes of ice that were being whirled along by the cur- rent. A few of the more venture- some watched the swirl of the muddy waters from the boathouse landing at the foot of the eastern end of the bridge. In less than 24 hours yes- terday the river had risen two feet The rise was not quite so rapid as that of Saturday, however, when it went up four feet in about the cor- responding length of time. The warm weather of yesterday melted much of the remaining snow, which was soon | added to the river waters, | While none of the street rajlway lines around this been flooded vet trouble is being perienced elsewhere.
