THE FLOODS IN MAssACnUsErrs.
A Loss Of 100000 In Worcester County
-Four Persons Drowned.

BOSTON, March 2S.-It Is now thought
that the destruction caused by the floods In
Worcester county will amount to 100000
while there is reason to believe that three lives
have been lost, two In Clinton and one In Web
ster. A part OF Blackstone was flooded while
at Waterford cellars we're flooded and a general
stampede took place lest worse harm should
come. At Flskdale tho cedar pond dam gave
way and the water swept OF q bridge on the
highway there, quitting OF communication with
southbridRe. In Grafton, all along the valley OF
the Quinslgamond and Of the Blackstone, dam
age more or less has been sustained. At Fish
erville the road Is quilted for rods In length and
one corner OF the costly bridge over the Black
stone at this place is washed out. On the Upton
road another bridge Ia almost ruined aud the
road itself is badly damaged. The damages to
the high ways through the town will not be less
than from one thousand to two thousand dol
lars.
In Rutland the reservoir nt NJ. X. Moulton's
mill broke through Sunday afternoon. the water

Milbury the damage to Capt. simpsons proper

coming that Cedar Dam had given way, and the
mill owners made haste to strengthen their
dams. Much damage was averte1 by the timely
news received. Several bridges were carried
away in SturbridRe. At UXbridge the roads all
over tho town are badly washed, and the total
damage cannot fall short OF Ave thousand dol
lars. The dam at Tyer's mill in West Brook
field, gave way, and IA large territory WAS food
ed. At Webster considerable damage was done.
While two men In boat wore endeavoring to
remove the nasn boards of tho dau at p. Slater
sons mills the boat was upset, and one of
them, Frederick Andre. was carried down the

ment Of Wall street. A large force OF men were
at once rut to work. aud by strenuous efforts the
river was turned from destroying large num-
Der Of houses on Davidson street. After having

THE BELKNAP IMPEACHMBYT.
Tho Articles Prepared and to be Presented
to the House on Thursdny.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-The Sub Com
mittee on tho Judiciary having the Belknsp
impeachment 10 charge has now the complete
proof to sustain their articles of Impeachment.
They obtained last ni9ht from New York certi-
ned copies OF the drafts aud certificates OF de-
posit on the Bank OF Commerce in that
city which were sent to Belknap by
Marsh. These are endorsed by Marsh to Bel
knsp, and show on their face some OF them at
least that they came from John s. Evans & Co.,
at Fort Sill. The books of the Adams Express
Company also trace money directly from Marsh
to Belknap. and this documentary evidence, In
connection with marsh's testimony, makes n
perfect clse against Delknap. The articles
OF impeachment are prepared, and will proba-
bly, DO reported to the House on Thursday
next. They are six In number. but the House
Will reserve the right to present additional ar
ticles. Tho headstone business, under investi-
CATION by the Military Committee, will undoubt-
edly furnish sufficient material for additional

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Senate was
In executive session over three hours to-day
on the nomination Of II. H. Dana, Jr.. to be
