night about 80 o'clock the inhabitants
Of the lower part Of the village OF An.

dam supplying the Ansonia Brass and
Copper Company has for the past three
weeks been under repairs. To do this
1t was necessary 70 build Golfer dam.
Suddenly and without warning, the latter
burst In the center, and about twenty
feet OF it was washed away. The large
reservoir, containing nearly 200 acres Of
water, gave way and rushed with fearful
impetus down the channel
The alarm spread and families occu.

nearly 100, escaped to higher ground,

ASsoSA, CONN, DC ober 20.-The
damage caused by the breaking away OF
the canal bank last evening In the rear OF
the old Colburn mill was not as serious
as at first supposed. The streets were
torn up and good many cellars were
floG ded, but few hundred dollars will
cover all losses. The saddest thing In
connection with the affair Is the loss OF a
child Of John Bullock, which might have
been ayerted but for the excitement Of
the moment. Bullock, with his wife and
three children, aged five, three and two
years, reside In a house occupied by a
man named Brassill, who is employed
in chandelier shop and is over from
Engilnd only three months. At the time
the water WIS rushing down Bullock
was absent from home. A man ran
10 the house telling them TO get out for
their lives. The poor woman became al
most frantic. BY superhuman effort she
grappled her three children in her arms
and rushed out, only TO be confronted
with darkness and water several
feet deep rolling down in large
waves. Not knowing the locality

two oldest children were clinging to the
woman's shoulders, while the babe was
held by her arm on her breasy. The
moment O'Brien reached her, she iu-
stinctively stretched out both hands,
saying, "Save me-" The babe
fell into the water, and In
an instant was lost to sight. Neither she
nor her rescuer could make any effort 10
save the infant, as no time could be lost.
She was exhausted, and but for the
promptness of O'Brien all must have
been lost. The damage will fall on the

It is said that it was through neglect on
their part that the acci1ent happened,
therefore making them liable.
