damage by the storm which Is still rag
ing will be much greater than was

The water Is subsiding this morning and
the people are returning to their houses.
The dam across the river at Belleville
broke last night and flooded Mill street
and did considerably damage TO property
In the low section Of the town. In the
Oranges the water is subsiding. A con.
iectioner from this city named Mon.
Childs was driving across the bridge at
Maplewood last night when the struc.
ture was carried away. He was carried
down with the torrent, together with
the horse and wagon and was finally
rescued by a crowd OF men from South
Orange. Trains on the Morris & Essex
road are moving slowly through the Or.
anges. The greatest apprehension is
lelt at Milburn. Watch has been placed
on the dam OF the Orange Reservoir, q
miles from the town and 200 feet. above

II 10 stated further that the re.ratings
probably do not average more than from
