Bursting Of Another Reservoir in Massaohy.

Bursting Of Another Reservoir in Massachy-
sets.
Springfield, Mass, July 13..-Details
comlug to hand o. the second flood in
Hampshire county say that it was
caused by the giving way of reservoir
of factory at the village of Middlefeld
The reservoir was situated on Middle
field brook, which empties into the west
branch Of Wesfell River at Middlefield
Switch. 1t covered nearly 100 acres
and was built about 80 years ago. 1t
was used for storing water for running
two broadcloth mills, a thill, and stave
factory, and grist mill.
The water swept over farms, gardens,
and roads, and several houses were
moved some distance. The heaviest
oser at Chesters is DIR. Herman Lucas,
who estimates his loss at $4,000. The
town of Chester suffers heavily in the
loss of bridges and damage to roads
To replace these bridges will cost Sl0,.
900. The Boston q Albany railroad is
very badly damaged for distance of
nearly twenty miles. Every bridge be-
tween Middlefelj and Huntington is
wholly or partly destroyed.
At the Middlefeld switch two unoc-
cupied house we're swept away, and also
an old red house used as an Office when
the railroad was building. Several
barns aud outbuildings were also carried
off at the switch, and farms and gardens
were badly damaged. A tenement
house occupied by the family of Leon
Jouezaux, was swept away. The total
amount Of damage to individuals and to
the town of Chester is estimated at
s250,000. The latest figures indicate
that the total loss will reach e35O,OOO.

effect, that the plaintiff after the majority OF the

mouth OF the nine, prepared, plastered and en-

while mrs. Hardin,u in compliance with the re-
quest OF the deceased, Kept the body unburied un-
til Mr.. Grey arrived, she applied In the meantime
for letters OF administration and opened the tin
box and rihed it OF Its contents. The books and
vouchers relating to Mr.. Hardins business and his
private letters have been raudulently hidden
away TO prevent, he claimed. the true relations
between Hardin and the woman who claims to be

record OF any such transfer is produced, and she
says she has not seen IL for time. I any such

CITY COURT.
No Lager Beer on sunday-Important
Decision.
BY Judge McCue.

No Lager Beer on Sundny-Importnn
Decision.
BY Judge McCue.
August w. Jacobs VS.. James Jourdan ct al
Judge McCue yesterday rendered decision touch
ing certain important points Of dispute in this
suit which has enlisted 30 much interest in lager
beer and excise circles generally. 1t Is claimed
that the sale OF intoxicating liquors and wines Is
prohibited on Sunday only where 1t Is sold TO be
used as beverage (see Laws of1S57. chap 623, Sec
2l) and that the sale for medicinal, culinary and
other purposes not being prohibited, the places
where they are thus sold, not to be used as bev-
erages, will not be closed on Sunday.
Prior to the revocation OF his license the plain tin
was authorized TO sell wines, aleS and beer on his
premises, to be used as beverage: he could also
sell them in any quantities desired for other pur
poses.
By act OF 1857 stil in force, he was restrained in
his business on Sundays only IN case the articles
sold were intended to be used as beverage on
his premises. But there was no provision In The
act Tor the closing OF his premises, for the reason
that as the sale or Intoxicating liquors was lawful
when sold not TO be used as beverage, the right
to keep open his place OF business naturally fol-
lowed the right to carry on the business ITSELF The
act Of 1873 directed the closing OF all places where
Intoxicating liquors were sold every day between
at all other times when such selling Is
not authorized by law. Any place
where sucn liquors are A. sold as beverage OF OF
to make sure that no intoxicating liq1or should
