THE DAM AT WORCESTER.
Its Cost ana the Damage the Break has
Caused.
from Louisville Courier-Journal.l


from Louisville Courier-Journall
Il Worcester, Massachusetts, is thrown
into great disorder by the breaking OF
the reservoir from which the supply OF
city water came. The waterwOrks OF
that city were looked upon as a triumph
OF engineering, having cost an immense
sum OF money, and required nearly ten
years in construction; and until this
fatal test withstood several freshets that
filled the valley below with fear. This
time the valley was filled with water,
and the cost will be O tax on the villagers
along the line of the stream between
the pond and the city worse than was
the cost of building. The supply Of
water was carried to the city through
six miles Of pipe-two large mains-and
when the househOlders turned the
faucets that supply fifty thousand peo-
pie and set all squirting simultaneously,
to say nothing of the fire plugs, they I'M
doubleday experienced the dampest day
and night on record This endeavor to
reduce the pressure and save the dam
was not etfectual, and as last resort
breach was made in one side of the inn
mense water basin, which turned the
threatening flood into the highway to
spend itself on fences and bridges and
small buildings The valley through
which the liberated water must run ex-
tends nearly ten miles before the Black
stone is reached, and In some places it
is SO confined as to almost form gorges.
To appreciate the damage sure to follow
even this somewhat abated flood the
reader must know that, strung along
that valley Of ten miles. are ten or
twelve manufacturing villages, aggre-
eating population of as many thousand
operatives. Millions of capital are in
vested within the afflicted space in i'm
mense cotton and wooden factories. The
trouble with the dam seems to have
been a lack of power to stand the pres
sure following accidents from the break
age of old and rotten dams above, as has
been the case on two other streams in
Massachusetts within the past two years.
There was. three years ago or there
abouts, a wrangle in the Worcester City
Council over the proposition to add a
few feet in height to the dam, and at
that time the opposers of the plan
(Which was adopted) predicted such
trouble as this freshet brings. The city
has two small reservoirs to fall back
upon for limited supply Of water.

II Amcs, why Not Grant?
LNnM York SUM-


The House Of Representatives OF
mississippi have presented articles OF
impeachment against Gov. Ames, ito
the effect that i'm consideration of $4,000
paid to the Superintendent Of the Peni-
tentiary, and $500 paid to a mem Der OF
the Legislature, Gov. Ames pardoned
one Alexander Smith, sentenced to the
Penitentiary for life"
How Is this =? If Ames can be i'm
peached for payments made to the SUI
perintendent of the Penitentiary and to
q member of the Legislature, cannot
urant be impeached for payments made
70 his own brother, in compensation for
dent?
The truth is, there is evidence enough
against Grant to impeach an ordinary
man but there is very strong indispo-
s,tlon to impeach him except upon
absolute and indisputable proof i'm
pilcating him directly in crime. This
feeling is attributable to the apprecia-
uon OF Grants military services, and it
goes to show that, after all that has
oeen said on the subject, republics are
not ungrateful. Ii it were not for what
yen. Grant did in the war, he would
nave compulsory leave from the White
mouse within the next ninety days.

IHDHF
The snow, the freeze and the drench-
ing rains have no doubt set our farmers
back some; but they are Of the never
say-die kind, and we anticipate no Sc
rious injury to the farming interests. 1t
may delay active farm work for a while
to an extent Of time beyond what is
usual for this time OF year-but we be-
lieve that the precedence in late farming
is in favor Of good crops as general rule.
We notice wagon loads OF plantation
supplies going out of town every day
and looking at the amount of -four, meal
and meat purchased by the farmers, we
almost feel prone to advise them to
raise less cotton and more bread and
meat.
