AnInsecure Dam.

Two expert engineers, A. N. Wellington
and F. P. Burt, the latter associate editor OF
the Engineerirg Ncics, of New York, have
made an examination of the dam at South
Forks which was the cause OF the disaster
Err. wellington states that the dam was III ev-
eiy respect of very inferior construction ana
of kind wholly unwarranted by gooo eGSl1i-
eering practices OF thirty years ago. Both
the original and reconstructed dams were
of earth only, with no. heart wall 81 put
only riprapped on the slopes. Inc
ORIGINAL dam, however, was made IN
ranimed and watered Flyers, which still show
distinctly in the wrecked dam: The new
end greatly added to its stability, but II
was to ali appearance simply dumped IN
like an ordinary railroad fill, or if ranmcd,
shows no evidence of good effect from
it, Much of the old part is standing
intact. while adjacent parts Of the new work
ar, wholly carried off. There was no ceE-
tral wall Of puddle or masonry either Ill the
new or the old dam. It has been the lnvarla-
BILE practice Of engineers for thirty or forty
Years to use one OF the other in building high
dams Of earth.
It is doubtful if there is single other dam
or reservoir in any other part OF the Onlsed
States of over fifty feet high which lacks this
central wall. The reconstructed dam also
bears the mark Of great ignorance or careless
ness in having been made nearly two 1eet
lower in the middle than at the ends. 1t
should rather have crowned in the middle,
which would have concentrated the over
flow if it should occur at the ends instead OF
in the centre.

Postmaster Barman, of Johnstown, who

holder in a large number Of manufactures

it wcs impossible to get into without blast
inc. When we got the channel opened, the
water soon secured down to the bed rock, and
a stroam twenty feet wide and three deep
rushed out on that end Of the dam, while the
weir was letting in an enormous quantity on
the other end. Notwithstanding these outlets,
the water kept rising at the rate OF about ten
inches an hour.
'.By IL 80, had made up my mind that 1t
was impossible to save the dam, and getting
on my horse I galloped down the road TO
South Fork to warn the people OF thelr
danger. The telegraph tower is mile
from the town, and sent two men there
to have messages sent to Johnstown ana
other points below. heard that the lady
operator tainted when she had sent OH the
news and had to be carried off. The people
at South Fork had ample time to get to the
high grounds and they were able to move
their furniture too. In fact only one person
was drowned at South Fork and he while
attempting to fish something from the Hood
as it rolled by 1t was just twelve O'CLOCK
when the telegraph messages were sent OUT,
so that the people Of Johnstown had over
three hours warning.
"As I rode back to the dam expected al
most every moment to meet the lake coming
down on me- but the dam was still intact, al
though the water had reached the top. AT
about l o'clock I walked over the dam; at
that time the water was three inches deep on
it. and was gradually eating away the eartn
on the outer face. As the stream rolled
down the outer face it kept wearing down
the edge of the embankment, and l saw 1t
was merely question of time. then went
up to the clubhouse and got dinner, and when
returned I saw that good deal more OF the
outer edge Of the dam had crumoied away way,
The dam did not give way. At rough
guess should say that there were sixty mill
ions tons of water in that lake, and the pres
sure of that mass of water was increased by
floods from two streams pouring into it but
the dam would have stood 1t could 1ne le1es
of tbe lake have been kept below the top Of
the dam. But the friction of the water pour
ing over the dam gradually wore it away
from the outer face until the top became 50

How the Dam Broke.

The Pittsburg Commercial prints the fol-
lowing account of the breaking Of the dam,
from the lipsof John G. Parke, Jr., civil en-:
gineer who was engaged on the grounds OF
the South Fork Club:
ION Thursday night the dam was In per-
feet condition, and the water was not within
seven feet of the top. At that stage the lake
is nearly three miles long. 1t rained very
hard Thursday night am told, for slept
too soundly myself to hear it, but when got
up Friday morning I could see there was n
food, for the water was over the drive IN
front of the clubhouse, and the level OF the
water in the lake had risen until it was only
four feet below the top Of the dam. 1
rode ND to the head of lake and saw that the
woods were boiling full Of water. South Fork
and Muddy Run, which ernptied into the lake
were fetching down trees, logs, cut timber,
and stuff from O saw-mill that was up In the
woods in that direction. This was about
T:3O o'clock. When returned, Colonel Un-
ger the President of the club, hired twenty
two Italians and number Of farmers joined
in to work on the dam. Altogether thirty
men we're at work A plow was run along
the top Of the dam, and earth was thrown IN
the face of the dam to strengthen it. AT
the same time channel was dug on
the west end of the dam to make
a sluice way there. There was about three
feet of shale rock through which it was pos
sible to cut, but then we struck bed rock tnat
