WATERBURY, Conn, August l7th.-
Owing to recent storms the streams
near this city are swollen to such an
extent that many have broken their
banks. The entire Northern part of
the city is flooded, and the water is
now sweeping down in torrents, flood
ing cellars, dislodging large stone
fences, shade trees, etc., along its
course.
The noon train from this city to
Hartford on the H. p. & F. r. r. was
wrecked about four miles from this
city. The accident was caused by the
bridge giving way while the train was
crossing. The engineer and fireman
were badly hurt, but no lives lost.

Duncan, Sherman q Go.
NEW YORK, August 1Sth.-The
of w. B. Duncan to pay
33s per cent. to general creditors of
Duncan, Sherman & Co., is regarded
with astonishment by business peo-
pie. So far as the rate of commission
Is concerned, it is not believed from
mixed and uncertain nature of the
assets, so much depending upon the
general improvement and receipts in
real estate and railroad values, that the
estate can pay more than 33B per cent.
while nominally valued at 44per cent.
The payments proposed by w. Dun
can run from four months from date
Of failure to November 1877, First
payment to be 100000, and add No
9th, 1876, equal to S4a per
cent. The remaining % per cent. is
divided as follows: May 9th, 1876,
per cent, July 9th, 1877, 5,per cent,
November 9th, 1877, 5 per cent. The
lotes are to bear interest from date of
allure.

CHICAGO, August 1Stn.-A repre-
sentative of the Evening Journal who
1as been sent after the remains of
young Grimwood, telegraphed from

Your representative has arrived at

porter seronaut, Aaron S. Grimwood,
Assisted by gentlemen interested in

lection will be made with the Good
'ich Line of steamers or the Chicago
md Michigan Lake r. r., reaching

The private notes and papers and
sketches of the fatal trip, of which
)nly to q meagre eXteXt have been
secured, and will be made known to
he public from the original note book
n tomorrow evenings Journal, if
connections can possibly be made for
Chicago. To-day an INCEST was held
IN the body of Mr.. Grimwood, before
Justice Topley of Claybank township,
shortly after its discovery on Monday
evening, and verdict was rendered
n accordance with the theory that it
vas the remains of the companion of
Donaldson on his last aronautic voy-
ige. There is much interest taken
n the discovery by all the cities and
owns along this side of the lake.
There are also rumors afioat concern
ng Prof. Donaldson's body, which
Did seamen say must drift ashore near
,he locality where Grimwood was
iound. tits said that floating body
lad been seen off the shore North of
his place by some vessel, and that
tug was afterwards sent out to endeav-
Or to secure it. Parties also say that
the balloon has been seen on the lake,
but these reports are probably un-
founded in fact.n
