14 ICE JAM CAUSES $500,000 FLOOD AT BRADFORD Gorge, Forming at a Bridge, Backs Up Water; Many Blocks Covered Bradford, Pa., Feb. 21.— This city suffered a loss estimated at more than $500,000 during the past two days through lligh waters in the Allegheny impounded ice gorges. The ice gorge formed last evening at the Mechanic street bridge, and the loss is the worst in the city's his tory. Eight city blocks in the business district, including Main street, were flooded to a depth of 2% to 3 feet until blasting of the gorge relieved the situation just before noon. Fol lowing the forming of the gorge without warning, when ice jammed at the Mechanic street bridge, im pounded water swept out over the business section. Schools were ordered closed. Flood danger was abated and the waters subsided after the gorge had been successfully dynamited at 11.30 o'clock this morning. Merchants were allowed opportunity for partial survey of the heavy damage that fhey share with other residents and tenants of the eight city blocks flooded. While danger of flood has passed for the time at least, the city faces a serious situation as the result of the bursting of a water main by the dynamite. Supply of city water is en tirely cut off to some parts of the city by the breaking of the main and lire would be disastrous. A trestle at Gilson, weakened by floods, collapsed yesterday morning, resulting in the drowning of Engi neer T. P.

Mullen was unable to extricate himself from the cab and was pinned under the engine.
