DETAILS. THE number Of lives lost BY the
Mill river disaster can now be fixed with prac-
tical certainty at 145, and the value OF the
property destroyed at $1,000 900. !, Sixty per
sons are known to have been lost who were
residents of williamsburg, four of SINNERS
vile, 30 of Haydenville, and 81 from Leeds.
Allotherl known inhabitants of these villages
are accounted for, leaving only perhaps a ca
sual traveller or stranger, whose disappearance
may be discovered dayshence and whose name
may swell this awful death roll. ESTIMATES
differ as to the value Of the property destroy
ed, but it can scarcely go below the iigure
stated. OF this total, 5000 00o is the share Of
the mills and mill-owners $150,o00 Of the
towns for that sum must be, expended to re
place roads and bridges $3.50, 900 of tho ope-
rativcs, farmers and other indiyidualssn 1t
should be borne in mind that all losses are alb
solutc. Insurance against fireidoes notTepair
the damages Of flood, and practically nothing
will be saved from the vast quantities of valtla-

cd products. ssl al .H.saa ass ia slasss fs5agaie
The disaster developed at once eight cases
of insanity among those who were crazed BY
the loss Of property and friends. Three per-
sons on Saturday were sent to the Northamp-
ton Asylum Cases Of a similar nature oc-
Cured after the Chicago fire. It is hardly to
| be wondered at in either instance. the fire in
the one case and the water in the other, com
ing like an avalanche Of ruin, would be enough
