Freshet in Connecticut.
HARTFORD January S-The heavy fall OF
rain had a disastrous effect in the Manga
tuck and Housatonic valleys. The lower
portions of the manufacturing villages OF
Derby, Birmingham and Ansonia arc sub
merged. Railroad travel at those points Is
. interrupted, bridges having been carried
away and long pieces OF embankments on
the Derby, Housatonlc and Naugatuck rail-
roads having been dislodged.
The freshet is the greatest for twenty
years. Manufacturing has ceased, and the
greatest excitement prevails. The great
Housatonic dam is as yet mistaken, although
nine feet of water rolls over it. at Bridge
port, Westport and the neighboring i0call-
ties, many bridges and dams have been
swept away, and the river channels filled,
rendering repairs OF hundreds OF thousands
of dollars necessary
No loss of life has been reported as yet.
