a year ago, a young girl, one Of the
teachers IN 4 school In great city, bade
good.by to tho children and went home.
The children laughed q good deal, and
the story went about how Miss Nelly was
going to be married soon, and was going
home to keep house. r.s.rs
Nelly was one Of the merrieSt girls in
the world. In school or at home, every
body tried 10 sit next to her, 70 hear her
laugh. Nobody was ever 80 friendly Or
SO full Of lie, they said. But she was not
strong; and when she went home, instead
Of learning 10 keep house she grew thin
ner and weaker day by day, while the
doctora stood helphssly looking on. The
marriage was put of again and again.
At last she could not leave her room.
Yet still people tried to come close to
her; the laugh was always ready on her
lips, and the big blue eyes grew more
friendly with each fading day.
Il began to be noticed, however, that
she was anxious 10 sew or knit all the
time, 10 make something for little child.

FRA UDs IN THE NAVY YARDS.
Overpayments Made 10 Contractors to the
Amount Of $4,000.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The Sub-Com-
mittees on Naval Affairs to-day made their re-
ports to the full committee Of their discoveries
at Portsmouth and Boston. They found that @.
W.Grinths, the contractor who had built the
new sloop Enterprise at Portsmouth, had, by q
system OF fraud oonnived at by Constructor
Hanscomb, been overpaid $4,000. Donald Nc
Kay, who built the sloops Adams and Essex at
Boston, was by the same system overpald 81, ,O0O
THESE overpayments are in the nature of allow

There were no changes mado in the drafts for
the vessels; but there were changes In the con-
tract which It Is not pretended Increased the
cost OF the shlps, but which caused some delay
to the contractor.
The committees after a patient exam mination
OF these cases unanimously concluded that they
were frauds upon the Government and the full
committee to-day. after receiving the re-
ports and onsiderlng the facts, directed
the chairman to notify the Secretary Of
the Navy thereof, and to request him
to withhold any further payment to Grit
lths anu Mckay. There was, under Hans
CONS system, something still due them, but, as
the committee contend, not justly owing. On
the contrary, they contend that Instead OF al
lowing Grim hs $4,000 additional there should
have been withheld from him $4,000.

Trains stopped by the FIood-A Description
OF the Dam.

SPRINGFIELD. March 30.-The news Of
the bursting Il the Worcester reservoir created
great excitement In this city. The $50 + W.
train from New York was stopped on It's ARRIVAL
here by order Of Superintendent Russell Of the
Boston and Albany Railroad. IL carried the
mail which, II necessary, will be sent around by
way Of Providence, In the tmornng. Several
Worcester gentlemen were on board the train,
hurrying home from New York, where they had
heard the news OF their danger and imme-
dately starred for home. They were obliged to
remain here over night.
Tho through express from Boston for San
Francisco. due hero at s:l5 p. Nj. was stopped
by the flood, and a train was made mp here and
despatched westward in its place at $50 o'clock.
Efforts will be made to Get the morning trains
from New York and Albany through to Boston.
All freight trains bound east will have to lie over
here.
The bursted dam was built on Layslde brook
In 1868, under Mayor Linooln's administration.
In 1870 and II It was reconstructed under the
supervision Of Phineas Ball, city Engineer, and
II was increased in height nineteen feet. It's
capacity was then 66]3O,0O) gallons, and with
the use OF flash boards 7I5,J72.0OO gallons. The
iron outlet and waste pipes were each twenty
four Inches in diameter, and they were ,rried
under the dam on old foundation OF good
masonry ten feet thick. Below there was a
waste gate thirty inches in di lmeter Tho dam
WIS faced with heavy masonry, ana II was
strengthened within by seven spiling walls run
ming parallel with tho face of the dam, and filled
In between with clay The foot Of the dam was
protected from attritiOn on the water side by a
heavy and closely laid mass OF cobOle stone.
When II was rebuilt IL was intended, II II should
become necessary, to raise the dam i've feet
higher. and the wall was considered amply
strong for that purpose.
The Mill River disaster aroused some sus pi-
cons OF danger, and In 1874 j. u. l'r ncis AN en-
gineer. OF Lowell, was employed to make an
examination OF tho am, His lcOOrt In sub
stance was that the embankment was OF excel
lent material, well built, and amply thick, but
not high enough above the level Of the wa or In
the reservoir that II ought to be raised three
feet because IL had more water than II was in
tended to carry; that the side walls aud
wing pilings should be raised In order TO
make Il entirely safe under all circumstance;
that the channel from the rollway was II able TO
bs washed out II the rOllway discharged water
to Its full capacity because the paving was IN
sufficient, and II the channel should be washed
out tho rollwav would go, and then break
would be made In the dam itself that no SUIT
able arch mad been put In the gallery, and the
want OF II made the dam weakest at the bot

below the dam to determine lts leakage, ana the
