Another Dam Bursted-Great Alarm
at Worcester.

WORCESTER, March 29.-About 8
o'clock tonight the alarm was given
through the valley that the dam OF
the Lynde Brook reservoir, which sup
plies the city with water, was givlsg way.
The work Of clearing out the dwelling
houses and mills through the valley was
at once begun, and the excitement was
great. The water wss pouring in tor
RENTS through the stone gate house,
and an entrance was forced
to the gate house, but the waste gate
could not be opened, it being clogged
with stones and gravel, and the iron rods
with which It is worked being bent. The
reservoir covers one hundred and forty
acres, and holds six hundred and seventy
million gallons of water.
Later.
IA. M.-The danger is is increasing
the gap is widening and the dam is not
expected 10 hold together till sun rise.
All hope of preventing the dis
aster is abandoned. The water pipes in
the city are being opened to draw OF as
much water as possible.
WORCESTER, March 80, 2:l5 A. N
The break is enlSrging rapidly, and the
stream below has been rising At the rate
OF Two feet an hour since II clock. The
dam it being watched an1iously and
word has been sent through the valley TO
expect a food at any moment.
WORCESTER, March 29, $50 A. NJ
1.-THE water has stopped flowing through
the city pipes, and it Is thought that the
dam has given way badly. 1t this Is the
case there will be no connection, except
on foet, with the city.

TAXATION.
A Mode 10 Aaseertain the Valuation
OF Property.
WHEELING, March 20, '7s.

Editors Of the Register:
Inferring from an article in your pa
per Of the 23d inst: that the Board for the
eqalization of taxes in this State have
not yet completed their labors, and know
ing that their work is one that is only
accomplished by the strictest scrutiny,
and patient hearing of all sides of the
question, or the views of all classes who
are parties thereto, this mite is here
thrown in and if 1t receives notice, or
d thought, it will have accomplished the
end hereby designed.
The true taxable value of any prop
erty is by some regarded as neither less
nor more than the value set upon it by
the owner thereof, /. e., mis- asking price.
Another mind equally capable OF Civ
ing an opinion regards the profit produc-
ing capacity OF the tillable land on the
ratio OF taxation.
A third contends that the distress price,
or what it would bring under the auc-
tioneer's hammer, is the true basis; while
a fourth with an eye to contingencies,
thinks no taxable value on any realty
should exceed one-half of its saleabie
value
From these antipodes it seems difficult
to reach any satisfactory proportion. The
long and careful training in profit and
loss accounts which the late United
States income tax gave to each of US,
ought by this time to have made every
man capable OF intelligently determining
the average profit in An acre of land, and
the hard times felt and feared, gives all
o. us sensitiveness about values.
Hence although it may be a novel
method, vet may it not De a good one to
make the assessment Of all ands and lots
throughout the State to equal the one
third of the same OF the asking price, pro-
ducing capacity and distress proceeds
combined.
The average net profit being regarded
ss the legal interest on the investment,
or in other words net profit OF siI dol
lars per acre though the cultivation of
staple products, shall be regarded as d
taxable valuation of one hundred dollars.
Thus an acre of land held by the owner
al SlU0, with net producing capacity o!
So and distress price of 500, would give
taxable OF $50 66s To allow for tluctu-
alton in stocks, as well as encourage In
vestments in manufacturing interests, 1t
might be we'll enough to regard the
assessment value thereof as equal to one
third of the par value plus one-hslt OF
the market valse.
Yours, Il. II.

WAsHINGToN, March 29.-Ihe Secre-
tary of the Navy denies the published
statement that ne transmitted money to
the house of Jay Cooke, Mccullough &
Co., in September, 1873. The money

eral of the Navy, then in London, to
paw to the credit Of the navy in event OF
jay Cooke, Mccullough & Co. stopping
the payment OF navy drafts, and was
deposited in tie Bank of England and
with j. S. Morgan. No advances were
made to Jay Cooke, Mccullough * Co.
until the latter part of October, after the
house had shown its intention and abll-
ity to continue its regular payments OF
navy drafts, and after ample security
had been given to protect the Govern
ment. The Secretary also says the IN
vestlgsting committee can have ali tele-
grams, including the translstions OF the

Various propositions were made in re-

caused by the breaking of bridge owing
to heavy rain storms, says the carriages
fell on top of each other and Immediately
disappeared in the river, where they were
broken up by the strength of the stream.
Those of the travellers who were not
killed by the fall, were unable to escape
from the wagons in which they were i'm
prisoned, and they were carried down
the river until they were dashed topieces
against rocks or slowly drowned. Over
thirty bodies have already been re-
covered, but this, unfortunately, does not
represent all the victims of the accident.
