A DAM BREAK.
The Temporary Structure Across
Sylvan Water Yields.
"A Break Near the Island shore Ad.
mtts Rush OF Water...The Pool Is
Drained and Moline IL without
Water Power.

A break occurred at the north end Of
the temporary dam near the Island shore
OF Sylvan water at 6 o'clock this morning
and the guard house and large portion
OF the works were carried away. Guard
lsaacson, of Moline, was in the guard
mouse at the time and he barely managed
to get his effects and escape. The water
at once rushed through with terrific force
and the breach soon widened to from
twenty to fifty feet. As the Golfer dam
twelve rods below had been damaged last
week BY the water, it was ineffective to
stay the force of the water, and it soon
disappeared and in short time the pool
Was drained and Moline's water power
had vanished.
The temporary structure was just
above the Old dam, and it was supposed
the island end rested on a solid founda-
ton as the natural characteristic of the
location is limestone formation. But
II seems the temporary dam or bulkhead
had nothing less than clay bank to hold
It, This the water gradually wore away
until it broke entirely.
The accident will not seriously affect
any of the Moline industries, unless it be
the Moline Plow company, as all are
thoroughly equipped with steam, and the
difference will only be in the way of
fuel.
Col Whittemore was communicated
with this afternoon and stated that it
would be impossible for him to form an
estimate of the extent of the damages.
Suffice it to say there is abundance in the
appropriation under which the work was
being done to continue it. and large
force of men is already at work. The
