A TRk1RIBLE DIsAaTDR.

On Saturday morning tho dam Of =
large rsservo,r in tho town Of Great
Ash6eld, short distance above Will
iamsburg, on tho Milk river, in Hamp.
shire county, Massachusetts,, gave way,
ADD = great wall Of water rushed forth,
carrying death and destruction in ito
path. The torrent swept through tho
thriving villages Of Williamsburg,
skiuuessville, H.ydenville, Leeds aud
Florence, destroying mills, dvelliug.,
and killing men, women and children.
Large brick and stone mills crumbled
like so many piles Of sand, Will. heavy
iron boils1s, iron safes ald iron bridges
vsrs carried distance Of many rods.
Tho number of tho drowned will reach
nearly two hundred. Twelve factories,
fifsesn bridges and nearly . hundred
dwellings were swept away. -Four
hundred people are left homeless. The
direct loss is between one million and
two million dollars, while . population
of five thousand suffered by the disas.
ter.
The food presented front Of drift
wood thirty feet high and several hun.
drsd feet wide, which swept down the
valley At the rate Of thirty miles an
hour. Il lasted 40 hour and a.half,
and then began to sbb, 20 that by noon
those who had escaped were able to
como back and SEQ the ruins.
The dam had been ohsaply built; its
unsafe character was known, and there
had been many warnings Of the, dan
gsr to be spprehsnded. For several
days the water had been leaking
through tho embaqkmsus, but the
company, With criminal earelessuess, had
neglected to take the necessary preoau.
tioss aud the loss Of over q million
dollan' worth Of property and two
hundred lives is the terrible result.
Whom tho watohman at tho dam dis.
covered the break he mounted horse
aud dashed With al speed to Williams-
burg, shouting the alarm. His horse
falling dead in the street, he proour-
Cd another and hurried to the other
villages. The people fled to tho hills %
fest % they could, but many were too
late, and others unfortunately sought
safety in mills and factories, which were
powerless to resist the force Of the
food. A number Of persons who lost
friends have become insane. Relief is
being sent to the sufferers from all di.
recti0ns.
