BURSTING OF THE RESERVOIR.
A Bridge Swept Away-The Total
Damage Placed at 100000.

Toledo, o., May 4.-The Blade corre-
spondent at Lewistown reservoir gives ad-
ditional details of the break. The great
Miami river has it's course in the Lewis
town reservoir and begins at the waste
way, which broke. The first break to-
day took away 100 feet of the wasteway
directly in front of the covered
bridge which spanned the Miami
river only about IS feet from
the reservoir. This bridge was supported
by heavy piling, but the mighty force of
the water, covering over 1000 acres and
making the second largest (the ST. Marys
being the largest) artificial body of water
in the world, struck the bridge. These
pilings were as matches, and the heavy
wooden bridge was hurled down
the stream and lodged upright
200 feet from its original place. The CON
tinual rush of water tore away another
fifty feet and only a short time elapsed
until the entire country for three miles
south was inundated. The water east
and west extends for miles The damage
is placed as high as $1,000

A Big Row Over the Instruments They
are to Use.

Chicago, May 4.-To-day's session of
worlds fair national commission was
productive of a decided sensation. During
the afternoon Commissioner Lannon OF
Utah said that what he wished to disclose
was nothing more or less than a national
scandal. He declared that there was a
combination of musical manufacturers
and organizations in the country to do an
injustice to certain exhibitors and
mOnoplize all the benefits acclWing from
the exposition. He then read two letters
received by a leading Chicago firm from
the harpists in Theodore Thomas orches-
ira, one of which was to the effect that
the performers would lose interest in
their instruments unless the firm would
agree to pay a fee of 81 900 year and a
percentage on all instruments sold. The
other letter received by the Same firm
was by the lady harpist of Thomas
orchestra, saying that she had been Or
dered by MIR. Thomas to take out the
harp which she was playing. Mr.. Ian
non moved the appointment of q commit
tee to investigate the matter and report
as soon as possible.
This, in connection with Gen st. Clair's
statement early that Mr.. Thomas serv-
ices would be dispensed with if neces-
Sary, created sensation, and the com
mission was in aIE uproar After the
chair had restored order he announced
that a committee would be appointed to-
