| To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL With the
many speeches made at the railroad meeting last
| evening at Granite Hall, published in to-day {
Journal, is to be found the speech made by the
Hon. j. l.. Stevens. At the beginning of it he
says: HE heard an intelligent gentleman remark
to-day that if Maine had not built mile of rail.
road she would be better Off at the present time.
Now for fear that his saying may pass round as
being true, will state what did say, or intended
to, in conversation with him. As great blessing
as railroads have been to our State to keep pace
with other States and would not be selfish in hav-
ing it otherwise, Augusta to-day, U speak for our
city only would be more than double in her pop
ulation and wealth had railroad ever been built
in Maine. To explain.
We are at the head water OF navigation. Twen-
y-fve years ago when the railroad passed through
the city, the country towns within radius of %
to 80 miles were paying tribute to by hauling pro-
duce in and returning loaded with merchandise ;
some days many sixty teams day, and in
creasing During seven months of the year our
wharves were lined with shipping-where is that
trade to-day Echo answers, where.
To-day our population is no more than it was
twenty-five years ago; our wealth has doubled,
caused by the war, Sprague's purchase and the
assessors-but alas it is fast recedng.
And Tor one cannot see any advantage to our
city to loan her credit for two hundred thousand
dollars to help build the connecting link" of the
road to shoot freight from Quebec and the lumber
regions, (owned by speculators) through our city
to Wiscasset. | am open for conviction.

The Worcester Reservoir.
FURTHER ERINCIDENTS OF THE
FLOOD.

Blacks one, March 81. The water has not risen
much here yet. 1t is travelling very slowly, as it
has room to spread. We do not apprehend much
danger or damage.
Worcester, March 81. There is but little to add
to previous dispatches relating to the disaster.
The food did no material damage below So Wor-
cester. The valley of Blackstone river was not
harmed. One man, name unknown, and two boys
named Simeon Harris and Frank Draper, are
missing, and it is feared they are drowned. The
city is already building a dam on Parsons brook,
to secure water supply. No famine is expected.
The city of Providence sent two steamers, in case
Of fire, until water supply is secured
The surging flood struck the highway at Roche
dale and bore away bridge, just as John knte-
land was crossing with his team. lie ami his
team were hurled into the torrent, his horse was
drowned, wagon smashed and he saved by reach
ing shoal water and receiving help from the shore.
At Stoneville, the dam gave way aud the sea of
water poured through a narrow valley with a fear
full rush and loud roar, heard TO distance OF one
mile. The water reached Leesville about two
hours after the reservoir broke, and struck the sat
met mill owned by Albert Curtis, crumbed it in
ru ns and tore out the DAM
The flood reached Worcester miles distant, in
about three hours after the dam gave way, show
ing that the water advanced at the rate of three
| miles an hour. The first mile, however, was
made in three minutes. The first indication of
its approach was rise in the water OF Curtis
pond. At 8 p. M, Wednesday, the situation was
| critical. The water cut hole through the dam.
| The Albany railroad embankment served as dam,
| and Webster square was quickly converted into a
| q reservoir. Curtis & Marbles large brick shop
gave way and fell into the stream. The Arcade
| building tipI ed over on end. The double arched
| bridge on the Boston Il Albany railroad and 70
| feet of the embankment gave way and let out the
water. avering further danger to New Worcester.
The Wide's mill at So. Worcester next de-
stroyed and the waters spread out over series OF
meadows, and in the south part of the city there
| was general nundation. The waters then be-
gan to subside.

Was II Suicide, or Murder

Rarely are officers Of town or city-espc tally
in the Kenneec valley-called upon to pcrfo IN
more delicate task than that we are about to
chronicle. True, it was but waif, floating on
the broad, deep sea of human experience, a little
twig cut from the tree of life, poor lost, lone
some, weary one, apparently without home or
friends, drifting about, buffeted by adverse cir
cumstances. He was somebody's darling, how
ever; in the years agone mothers hand had rest
ed upon the now lowly head in blessing, and
smoothed the face now early marked with the
lines of care. Did he work in the factoryi Often
had he made night hideous by his midnight orgies,
but this was al forgiven in the solemn presence
of this great catastrophe which had terminated a
life suddenly. Was the crowd of people drawn
towards the stone bridge below the factory
through mere curiosity, or from desire to soothe
the anguish of sorrow from which we may all be
spared! Let us hope for human natures sake
that the latter feeling actuated them.
1t seemed as though all help had passed, though
the surging crowd were asking, "Was 1t suicide :"
"Did he drown himselfi" "Was that pistol shot
wound in the foreheadi"
These were the questions that were hurriedly
asked, but no one could answer them, until boy
passing by turned over the dead Thomas cat, and
read on placard his nsme-"A. T. Ri the First. "
