Flooding engulfed the old barrel factory, Piso building, Kirberger's shop, and nearby structures while a Hill and Palmer barn was torn away and carried into the Suspension bridge area causing damage to the bridge and railroad spans. River and road damage extended through East Second Short and Water streets with water invading first floors, and debris drifting downstream. Travel on the D W P Railroad halted by slides and floods between here and Titusville. trains expected to resume later the week.
